I was privileged to be able to cover much of the Annual Charlie Mack \u201cParty For Peace\u201d Celebrity Weekend which culminated with an amazing children\u2019s talent show on Saturday night with a surprise appearance and truly inspirational speech by the world\u2019s biggest movie star, Will Smith (I spent a ton of time talking to him at the movie premiere although he didn\u2019t do any press or interviews, and all I can say is that he is one of the most inspirational and humble human beings I have ever met, and it was a life changing experience to be able to experience his aura, see how he treats his fans, and how truly genuine a person he is), and then was on the Red Carpet on Sunday for the premiere of Charlie Mack\u2019s movie, \u201cStreets\u201d (It was awesome, and I would compare it to a modern version of \u201cNew Jack City\u201d, featuring \u201cOne Life To Live\u201d star, Nafessa Williams, Mega-Rapper Meek Mill under Rick Ross\u2019 Label MMG, and newcomer Marvin Warner, who did an amazing job!) directed by the very up and coming Jamal Hill, who has worked on many of Will\u2019s movies. The event had SOOO much star power, and every major media outlet covered it, and even outside of the names listed above, I was able to meet and network with stars like Charlie Mack (Will\u2019s good friend and former bodyguard), Kenny Gamble (Hall Of Fame Music Producer), Jill Marie Jones (Girlfriends), Terrence J (Host, BET\u2019s 106 and Park), Lil Mama, (America\u2019s Best Dance Crew), Cedric Ceballos (NBA All Star), Rodney \u201cDarkChild\u201d Jerkins (Grammy Winning Music Producer), Tocarra Jones (America\u2019s Next Top Model), Michael Rashid (CEO Keystone Mercy), Terry Crews (Actor), Allen Payne (House Of Payne), Mike Vick, and sooo many more who all came out for the weekend to support an amazing cause! I had videos interviewing some of these stars from Saturday at the teen challenge, but due to lighting and sound issues can\u2019t really use them, but here are my interviews\/pictures with the celebs that were on the Red Carpet for the premiere of \u201cStreets\u201d as well as it\u2019s cast (On a side note, Nafessa Williams is already a star on \u201cOne Life To Live\u201d, but when I tell you this girl is something special and destined for greatness, get ready to see her name on Billboards soon!).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is me with Will Smith as we chatted outside the \u201cStreets\u201d premiere about my career, his inspirational rise to the top of Hollywood, his advice on never forgetting where you come from and who your true friends are, and staying humble and faith driven no matter how much success you achieve. It was a \u201cPinch me\u201d moment in my life to become friends with him. I can not stress how classy and elegant this man is, and how supportive he was of the whole weekend! I was truly in awe of him after talking to him and watching how he conducts himself with each person! If you want to see how respectful and cool he is, watch the Kenny Gamble (Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, Music Producer of 170 Gold \/Platinum Albums!) interview below and at the end where Will pops in to say hello (It\u2019s really quick) and honor him and cuts me short, but that\u2019s a reason I can live with!<\/p>\n

Only CBS and ArthurKade.com got to actually interview A-List movie star Tyrese Gibson of Transformers and The Fast And Furious!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Legend of all legends!! Kenny Gamble of Gamble and Huff who is one of the most legendary producers in Music History!<\/strong>
