'Tardy for the Party' remixes, Kim Zolciak Gold Room event breathe fresh life into surprise hit
 Posted 2/9/2010 9:52:00 AM
Alleged "Real Housewives of Atlanta" singer Kim Zolciak is hoping to re-set the clock on her 15 minutes of pop music stardom via her surprise hit dance single.
On Tuesday, iTunes and retail outlets began selling a brand new series of hot, club-ready remixes of Zolciak's "Tardy for the Party" by Atlanta DJ Tracy Young.
Our take?
The tracks work primarily because Young (who has also remixed songs by Mary J. Blige, the Pet Shop Boys and Cyndi Lauper) has wisely pumped up the electronics and the backing vocals while enhancing the weave-wearing Zolciak's thin vocals with every single effect offered in a recording studio.
Ferosh Records has released Young's remixes.
To celebrate this recording milestone, the Gold Room has booked Zolciak and Young for an exclusive "Tardy for the Party: The Remixes" soiree Friday, February 26 at the new Buckhead club.

Exclusive: G-CAPP CEO Michele Ozumba speaks out on alleged Fonda scammer
Posted 2/8/2010 3:29:00 PM
In an exclusive interview with Intel Monday afternoon, Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention CEO Michele Ozumba confirmed to us that the Jane Fonda-founded non-profit was indeed duped by alleged con artist Michael Anthony Manos in 2007.
Manos was arrested last month in San Francisco after allegedly conning society types and charitable fundraisers in Atlanta, NYC and Dallas.
"We're relieved he's been caught," said Ozumba.
Three years ago, Manos hit the social scene here under the alias Christian Michael de Medici.
That October, at the "Blue 2 Do" fund-raiser at Blue Med Spa in Midtown, Manos announced he was giving Fonda's pet charity a home.
Manos donated a house on Wiley Street in East Atlanta to G-CAPP that he had allegedly purchased. The structure was used as a meeting place for G-CAPP's Doula House Program. Five G-CAPP staffers helped to run the programs at the house.

Alleged G-CAPP con artist caught after scamming society set in Atlanta, NYC and Dallas
Posted 2/8/2010 12:50:00 PM
Atlanta’s charitable fundraisers will be relieved to learn
that Michael Anthony Manos is once
again cooling his designer heels behind bars.
The 46-year-old ex-con is accused of scamming society types
and influential fund-raisers in Atlanta, New York City, and most recently,
Dallas.
Don’t recognize the name?
Try Christian Michael de Medici, the alias he used in Atlanta in 2007 when he
floated a phony trust fund baby back story and the promise of generous charitable
donations to ingratiate himself into our city’s social scene.
Many Atlantans were first exposed to de Medici aka Manos in
October 2007, when he suction-cupped himself to Georgia Campaign for Adolescent
Pregnancy Prevention founder Jane Fonda at the “Blue 2 Do” G-CAPP benefit held at Blue Med Spa in Midtown.
During an emotional announcement in front of a rapt audience
of 300 under a white tent, Manos promised Fonda the funds for a house earmarked
