Black Eyed Peas VIP Concert Column - Page 2

The woman I am talking about is Swedish film actress and model Ms. Malin Maria Åkerman, who you may know from the movie "Watchmen" or perhaps from her guest appearance on HBO's Entourage.

We talked briefly about what she's doing right now. Ms. Ackerman informed me she's in a movie that was set in New Orleans and is very excited about it. I knew I should have had a recorder with me but didn't. All she really wanted to do was enjoy her evening and not really be bothered by a pesky columnist. I have to say that Ms. Åkerman is one of the nicest actresses I've had the pleasure of speaking with in a non- Hollywood capacity.

I also had the pleasure of meeting her husband of three years Roberto Zincone, who's an Italian musician. What did you think, that this Swedish bombshell was single? No, they always have someone. Fortunately, he was a pretty cool and down to earth guy.

I finally ran into one of the publicists who gave me those magic cards that I needed to take full advantage of the bar and the Bacardi that was available. So, while LMFAO was getting ready to take the stage, I myself was ready to enjoy the bar and what I believed it had to offer.

When LMFAO was on stage performing a few songs, the crowd was going nuts and really enjoying themselves dancing and having a great time on the floor.

It had to be kind of ruined by someone with sticky fingers. I was pushed around by a man who said we had to move. I checked him out and he wasn't dressed like house security, which I found odd. Some of the other VIP's didn't want to move either. I think it had to do with him giving us orders without actually having the power to do anything except scream at us. I asked him what he wanted and he said that he needed us to move. I wondered for a second and then found out that New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush was there.

We still refused to move even though his bodyguard wasn't nice or professional. What many people don't understand is that a bodyguard isn't allowed to manhandle you if you're not a threat to his client. His rough treatment of myself and other VIPs constituted grounds for assault, but I wouldn't allow his grandstanding to ruin a great evening.

    if you talked with Ackerman about a movie she's working on, how exactly is that a "non-Hollywood capacity"?
