JT concert, Part 2
12:00 AM CST on Friday, March 9, 2007
Alan Peppard apeppard@***BANNED-URL***
If the hordes of screaming girls at American Airlines Center and the W Hotel are any indication, Justin Timberlake won't be lonely without Cameron Diaz.
After his Monday night show at AAC, Justin showed up in Ghostbar atop the W with his producing partner, Timbaland. Joining the scene were hip-hop royals Missy Elliott and Usher.
There, on the 33rd floor, Ghostbar management succeeded where DJ Kidd Kraddick failed. They got a free performance out of urban music's most-sought-after producer.
Early Monday morning, Timbaland rolled out of bed to be on Kidd's drive-time show on "Kiss FM" KHKS-FM (106.1). He has a new solo album out next month, and Kidd and his stablemates, Kellie Rasberry and "Big" Al Mack, relentlessly tried to get him to do some impromptu vocals. At 8 a.m., however, Timbaland sounds like Barry White with a NyQuil hangover. He wisely demurred.
But by the time he and Justin got to Ghostbar about 16 hours later, his vocal cords were tuned up. Timbaland and Justin took over the DJ booth, where they sang their hits, DJ'd and beat-boxed for an hour.
At the top of the stairs
When gallery owner Kenny Goss offered the Dallas home he shares with pop star George Michael for a private dinner following opening night at NorthPark's Fashion at the Park, it was with the understanding that he and George would be unable to attend.
That turned out to be half right.
Mr. Michael has been in Dallas for about a month preparing for the May 18 launch of his 25 Live stadium tour of Europe.
Wednesday night, following Fashion at the Park's debut runway show by Ferragamo, 75 select guests headed to Kenny and George's home, where a dinner tent had been built over the pool. Kenny greeted guests like NorthPark owners Nancy Nasher and husband David Haemisegger, Ferragamo menswear designer Massimiliano Giornetti and Mr. Michael's childhood friend, composer David Austin.
Only a handful of guests knew that 1) George Michael is actually quite shy, and 2) He was upstairs during dinner preparing to head back to London.
Picture-perfect Romo
Even with so many female fans throwing themselves at Justin Timberlake, there were plenty left over for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Apparently, one fumbled snap has not dimmed his glow with the teen-to-25 set.
Tony was in the VIP area next to the stage for Justin's concert. Throughout the evening, young women flocked to the athlete, asking to have their pictures taken with him.
Harmon picks JT
One final Justin note: Former Law & Order star Angie Harmon may be married, but she can still look at the menu (or listen to the music). Saturday night, the Highland Park-raised actress took in dinner at Al Biernat's restaurant and asked manager Brad Fuller to play Justin Timberlake on the sound system.
The doctor was in
Also at Biernat's last weekend was Mrs. Dr. Phil, former Dallasite Robin McGraw. She had dinner with friends before taking a cellphone call from Dr. Phil. He asked her to bring some of Al's fresh Maine lobster to their Turtle Creek pied-à-terre.
Classic Cobra
Dallas Stars right wing Eric Lindros was hard to miss when he pulled up for dinner Tuesday night at Iris on Lovers Lane. The hockey player was driving a flawless 1968 Shelby Cobra.
Eric was accompanied by Sam Mulroy, owner of the Fitness Evolution gyms. Sam's mom, Susie Priore, owns Iris.
