That's right kids...someone leaked next weeks cover out and pooof...there it is on PerezHilton.com

Check it out:



Quoted from Perez:

We love Janet. AND we love Madonna. However, there isn't much love between the two!

The pop superstars are reported to have a very icy relationship towards each other.

Miz Jackson sharpened her claws a bit during a new interview with fag rag HX.

Meow!

HX: I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but there's an Internet war between Janet and Madonna fans. I know you and Madonna had some beef in the '90s, but do you think the heat between Madonna and Janet fans has any validity?
Janet: No—I didn't know this was going on. [Laughs]

They argue, make videos and, of course, it's mostly the gay fans. So people are curious: What are your thoughts on Madonna now?
I think she's done wonderful things. She's done great things in her career, in her life, and more power to her. I think fans will always be that way—always. They're just incredibly loyal and they love you so much that if anyone says anything remotely negative, they're there to just immediately jump on them. It'll always be that way—very loyal.

If a "Janet" drag queen had to battle a "Madonna" drag queen, what advice would you give the "Janet" queen?
Kick the bitch's ass!

Join Team Williams-Sonoma for our Second Year participating in the NYC AIDS WALK

Last year, I initiated the participation of Williams-Sonoma for the first time ever in the NYC AIDS WALK. We joined forces with our sister company, west elm and together recruited over 45 participants and raised a little over $4,000

This year, we are combining all brands (Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, west elm, Williams-Sonoma Home, Pottery Barn Kids and PB Teen) in hopes of recruiting over 100 people and raising over $10,000!!

If you would like to join on May 18th or would like to sponsor one of the associates, you may do so by visiting: http://aidswalknewyork2008.kintera.org/faf/search/searchTeamPart.asp?ievent=262058&lis=0&kntae262058=2D5AF805056847B5A3FADB0F7BB835CB&team=2704129

For those of you joining our team for the 2008 walk, we would like to remind you that being part of Team Williams-Sonoma is not about the t-shirts or goodies, or even good publicity, it is about coming together as a team, comprised of our friends and family, to change the course of the AIDS epidemic.

This year, when you join the team, we ask that each walker ensures that they have raised at least $25 in donations in order take part in the post-walk breakfast. If you raise $75-$99 you will also receive one of our team t-shirts and if you raise $100 or more you will be included in our raffle for many great prizes donated by our various brands.

We look forward to coming together as one great team and one loud voice on May 18th!

Second Annual Entertainment Industry Expo - NEW YORK CITY!!!

TaDa...my table at the expo. I had a little over 500 water bottles that each featured a custom johnagnesini.com label that was made possible by the generosity of Hillary, Alisa and Ruben. I also had a little over 1,000 mini candy bars that acted as a "One Sweet Deal" coupon, comp cards, postcards and a Williams-Sonoma popcorn bucket raffle :)

As many of you know, I just showcased some of my design work at the Second Annual Entertainment Industry Expo in New York City. Since it's inception last year, I have been the official designer of EIE. Responsible for all advertising including posters, trade ads, media kits and of course, the 74 page show guide which is available for download on my website: www.johnagnesini.com/EIE2008_web.pdf

A special thank you to my dear dear friends Heather and Alisa for working my table that day. you were the perfect representation of my brand :) I also would like to thank all my friends who attended the expo: Landon, Mellina, Oscar, George and of course, Ruben :)

A little over 5,000 people registered online and a little over 6,000 showed up!! It was a ton of fun and I look forward to many more shows in the future. :)

Some of my promotional postcards and chocolate bars.



And of course, my darling friend Heather...Thank you sooooo much for all your help that day.

OMG...Time is Flying By

Can you believe my FIFTH issue of HX is already on the streets. Gosh, timegoes by when you're working on a weekly magazine.

This issue is especially fun...Our Editor-in-Chief, Brandon Voss came up with the idea of bringing nine of New York City's nightlife kings and queens (literally) and bring them all into our offices on a Sunday morning on 35th Street and have a "last supper-esk" photo shoot. We had the hottest DJs. Go-Gos, Drag Queens, Promoters and more!
