Last Minute “Ass Smacking”

Last minute appearance made at the Hyatt Regency Toronto, en route to his Oshawa show, on his Freedom Tour. Gosh, what is his name again? You know the one who sang “Then possibly bend you over/Look back and watch me/Smack that, all on the floor/ Smack that, give me some more/ Smack that, til you get sore/ Smack that, ohh, ohh”, that’s him, Akon.
The press conference according to Matteo Sestito of Sestito Entertainment Group, says, “This was a last minute thing that was thrown together…we hope that tonight’s concert goes well.” Not a huge turn-out as a result but some kudos to be made for Hollywood North as this shindig brought Mena Suvari (American Beauty and American Pie) and Akon together in the same room for five minutes. I know, odd pairing, kind of like a glass of Cab and cake. The inside scoop on that is that she is the fiancé of Akon’s concert promoter, Simone Sestito.

Waiting and waiting, 45 minutes later enter Suvari, dressed in a black one piece tube top with pant outfit accented with gold belt and necklace. She looked like a fish out of water as she sipped on VOSS water, when offered a scallop hors d’oeuvre, she responded, “Not into shellfish.” I believe she really meant to say, “Not into food.” What is it with some girls? Food good, yes, eat!
Akon
Akon decides to grace us with his presence, 5 minutes before he was scheduled to leave; ironically, he is on time with his departure, but not on time with his appearance. Here’s where Mr. Fabulous’ true colours come out – this appearance was based on a ridiculous discount that he received for forty guestrooms at $85.00 per night! (Source to remain unnamed) And all he could give was two minutes of his time.
It brings to perspective Colton when he said, “Riches may enable us to confer favours, but to confer them with propriety and grace requires a something that riches cannot give.” New money is what I call it, when all of a sudden you forget where you came from, and here you are rolling with people who only like you because of your latest “Ass smacking”, but this time, you have given it an alternative verb for your next hit.
