FOX X Factor USA Premiere a Nightmare Thank to APPLAUSE STORE - a big SCAM

Hello my Fans, Friends and Loyal Readers,

I am not Perez Hilton, but I want you to know and I share with all you that I was so excited to be part of this experience, but became a nightmare for me and my friends. I was not sure what to expected, so I email in private emails, social media like Facebook, LinkedIn the I was going to the THE X FACTOR™ HOLLYWOOD WORLD PREMIERE on 9/14! to  to join, Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, LA Reid and Nicole Scherzinger. Let me tell you the we waiting outside the ArcLight Cinerama Dome located at 6360 W. Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, CA  on the line for 3 hours. 
Something else to mention was the on the ticket requested "DRESS TO IMPRESS!!!" well let me tell you the people were in shorts and t-shirts. Any how I do not care of their image. Let me copy what the ticket from APPLAUSE STORE USA says:

REID, NICOLE SCHERZINGER and STEVE JONES at theEXCLUSIVE WORLD PREMIER of THE X FACTOR in HOLLYWOOD!Have you got what it takes to go interact directly with THE X FACTOR judges? Have you always wanted to ask Simon, Paula, Nicole, L.A. and Steve Jones a cheeky question? Well now you can also be part of the live Q&A! How amazing is that!!!
Upon your arrival, you join the entire X Factor team at the Hollywood World Exclusive Premiere red carpet, meet all the judges and then get a front row seat to see the first episode of THE X FACTOR before it premiers on FOX on September 21st!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get a first glimpse of Simon Cowell's new show that is searching for the next great superstar or group who are all competing for the biggest prize in television history; a $5 million Sony Music recording deal and an appearance in Pepsi's 2012 Superbowl spot. 

I can tell you the after we (me and my friends) were admitted we were routed to the red carpet, where the venue? or FOX or Applause Store USA staff security would want to keep us there. The reason they wanted media/press outlets to report and show the hundreds of people were there for the premiere but the is just acting.

Any how I was in there for about 2 hours, I wanted to go to bathroom and this STUPID security wanted me to go out, I told him there is no bathroom there and he say you must be outside of the Theater. I told him I really need to use the restroom. Finally I was routed and when I was close to Theater this person told me the with the pass I have I would not have access to heard  SIMON COWELL, PAULA ABDUL, L.A. REID, NICOLE SCHERZINGER and STEVE JONES speaking. 


I told my friends to live the place, but some of them stayed and didn't care be treated like second class citizens. Any how when I was leaving I approached the main publicist, event I gave her my business card. Let me tell you the I tried first to go as regular fan of the show, but I saw couple non reputable media/press outlets representatives crashing on the event and they got ALL ACCESS CREDENTIALS. So when leaving I told them who I was and was refer to the person in charge. A Chinese women which I introduced my self and even gave her my media/press representation business card. Yes I  represent Diversity News Magazine, Examiner.com and Yahoo.com  Any how she told me to wait. I waited more, shen she left and I saw she even left my business card on the table. This women needs some ethical and professional training.
I finally gave up and yes at the end of the day, I learned my lesson the because of this I will not watch The X Factor USA, but I will give FOX Networks, FOX TV a second chance. Contact me at: editor@diversitynewsmagazine.com or call me at (213)321-9408.


WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS MY FANS? PLEASE LEAVE ME YOUR COMMENTS, QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

Hollywood and Highland Complex SICK of Parking Rip-off by New South Parking Company

Today Monday, September 12, 2011 I went to cover an event at The Grill on Hollywood Blvd inside the Hollywood and Highland Complex and I was there less then 2 hours and when I was driving to pay with my validated parking the attendant say it was $6.00 and I told him the my ticket was validated and he say that you need to pay after 2 hours? If you see the photo it says the you pay only $2.00 dollars with validation after 4 hours. 

I am so sick of Hollywood and Highland Complex because they always rip-off people and they do not care. Like this person who charge me he even did not wanted to accept cash for the payment. He is a lazy employee who say he did not care about me writing and complaining about this terrible experience.
So I ask you not to park at the complex any more, take the bus or ask somebody to drop you off. By doing so, the parking company will not get enough customers to park there and they will loose their jobs. Also the will affect the business owners of the complex but the fault is on New South Parking staff who do not care about your complaint. This guy (male) say he was doing his job. They event blame the business owners, not sure if business owners do not want to pay for their customer parking but hey that's a business expense for them and they can write it off when they pay their business, state and federal taxes.

For your information: The underground parking facility for the Hollywood and Highland complex is operated by New South Parking, a partnership between the largest parking company in North America, Central Parking (HQ in Nashville) and Global Parking Systems (HQ in Indianapolis). The logo is Central Parking's. As of June 30, 2007, Central Parking operated approximately 3,000 parking facilities containing approximately 1.4 million spaces at locations in 37 states, the District of Columbia, Canada, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Spain, Switzerland and Greece.


So I can tell you from now on I will avoid to park in the complex.

Self-promoter David Harrison Levi and Followers Apparently Escorted Out by Security in Hollywood; The Truth is Clear and Out Loud

Hello my Fans and Readers, After over 8 months investigating a Self-promoter known as David Harrison Levi. I published my article on my online magazine Diversity News Magazine on June 30, 2011 under the title of:

Self-promoter David Harrison Levi and Followers Apparently Escorted Out by Security in Hollywood

The story have received hundreds and very close to reach thousands of views, comments and more people are coming out and speaking up about this individual. I want to thank all my sources and every one for supporting the truth. Let me tell you the as an editor in charge of Diversity News Magazine I feel me (we) have a responsibility to inform all our loyal readers and fans of the truth and what we saw and heard.

So please click the above headline link for you to read my complete investigative story the is getting alot of attention from many individuals, politicians and corporations.

Portion of story: Sometimes enough is enough. But let’s take a look, judge for yourselves. We’ve been watching for some time now the shenanigans of David Harrison Levi, self proclaimed promoter, Starmaker, Breast Cancer Awareness man, flag waver and fighter for the downtrodden, as  well as “award winning”, “I got a certificate” cause  sufferer of the dying and recently dead, if you can believe that!? And let’s not forget, self-professed, lifelong, dearly devoted, friend to such people as Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr, just to name a few. By the way until we see actual proof of each claimed “lifelong” mutual friend relationship that he publicly claims he’s a part of (uhhhh, casual encounters, a one-time event, arranging or jumping into a photo at an event, or Photoshopped photos don’t count as proof)And some of his representations of a recent event he tried to hold a few nights ago just scratches the surface of what appears to be a small example of his constant and numerous misrepresentations of the truth over a year or more. Some people might call these out-right lies, fantasies, and / or cons. You be the judge.

YOU WANT TO READ THE COMPLETE STORY, SEE PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING, JUST CLICK http://diversitynewsmagazine.com/2011/06/self-promoter-david-harrison-levi-and-followers-apparently-escorted-out-by-security-in-hollywood/

Per UC Union Employees Neuheisel salary is just one example of UCLA's waste of public funds. The ironic of this is the UCLA Employees are been told that they have no money for raises and that their benefits for the University are very expensive.

Let's All Boycott Rite Aid Pharmacy Worldwide, especially Rite Aid Pharmacy in Hollywood

As I wrote on my Facebook account on Friday, February 25, 2011. I told you the I will be blogging about the bad service provided to me at Rite Aid on Gower and Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, CA. The Pharmacist and their clerks do not care about you get well, they even do not follow your doctor prescription orders. What kind of pharmacy is that? I have notice that they care to become richer and richer and they give to their customers just pure excuses. Honestly I stopped at the pharmacy to fill my prescriptions because it was a raining day here in the  Southland and is close to my home.
But when I pick up my prescriptions this pharmacist was given me less of what the doctor have prescribe. I told her the I will contact my insurance company and then I walked to the manager who is a Latino man who did not do anything, just waste my time. Any how I needed also some vitamins and they did not have it, so I have to drive during the hard raining and I saw another Rite Aid. I park my car and call my insurance company and spoke with a representative that told me that I can have the amount of pills I needed but because I left already and pay Rite Aid for the pills that they gave me, then she can not authorize the additional pills. You see what happens, next time do not leave the pharmacy get on the phone with the insurance company and they can tell those "Pharmacists" to get their act together.

Here is what I need from you all my readers, please Boycott RITE AID Pharmacy WorldWide. Let's make sure they go out of business for not caring about us the customers. I never want to go RITE AID stores and pharmacies and you should do the same. Thank you.

Hearing the name VENICE BEACH, CA makes me SICK

I guess since my experience last year on 2010 when I went with this actress to eat and drink. Well we order food and when it was time to pay, they have lost my credit card. I usually never ever carry CASH. So we waited for over 1 hour and they can not find the credit card. Any how to make short story. The manager apology and even offered us more free food and drinks and signed a $50 discount for next visit. I told him I will never come back, but my starving actress took the voucher.

So please do not ask me to go to VENICE BEACH, CA because my experience is very bad. I saw while walking by the peer drug users, dirty streets, Pop users (Mariguana), drinkers, kind of some business owners. Sorry dear City of Venice, CA residents and city council, but you got alot of work to do to fix the city and make it for visitors to come back. It is also hard to believe the actress Linsay Lohan lives in the ghetto neighborhood, oh well I guess that's her choice because she got lots of money. Since the time I never went back and never hope.

UCLA Patient Business Service Letter to David Feinberg-CEO & Associate Vice Chancellor

On January 16, 2011 we received the attached letter from an UCLA Patient Business Service employee. The letter was sent as Anonymous to David Feinberg-CEO & Associate Vice Chancellor.


See photos of the letter and words if what it reads:

December 2010

David Feinberg-CEO & Associate Vice Chancellor

UCLA Medical Center Enterprise

757 Westwood Plaza Ste 1320

Los Angeles, CA  90095-7400

Dr. Feinberg,

I am writing this letter to inform you of the discontent that is present in the Patient Business Services Office under the directorship of Bernadette Lodge-Lemon, the management of Margarita Flores and Sureya Lopez-Monarrez As a tenured employee and one that reports to Margarita Flores and Sureya Lopez Monarrez in the past, I feel it necessary to inform you of the discord that the employees are feeling. My name will not be attached to this letter for reasons of possible management retribution. Let me begin by stating that I have seen managers come and go, but none as incapable as Margarita Flores who was brought here from Cedar-Sinai. Never could anyone have told me that our current management staff would be as it is today in these departments.

I will begin by saying that Margarita Flores has been here a little more than two years. The following are instances where she was seen to have acted inappropriately and unprofessionally in situations that could have become volatile. Instance number one, Margarita had instigated a confrontation between two of her female employees, one of whom has since resigned, the other remains an active employee, both of these women were written up after the incident. She has had an issue that escalated between her and another employee go as far as the director (Bernadette). In the first incident these two women were called into Margarita’s office and faced each other with accusations that Margarita instigated between the two, it reached the point where both were very loud, and those of us in the outside cubicles became very concerned, although Margarita was heard a few times interjecting but the point being is that this situation could have become very dangerous in these times of violence in the workplace. We were all concerned yet knew this situation was not addressed in the professional managerial manner which was workplace appropriate. There was a second incident where again Margarita (manager), Andre Scott (manager) & another employee engaged in a conversation on the floor where all employees could hear discussing and attacking an absent employee. The things said should have been said behind closed doors and not in the common work area, yet another display of unprofessionalism in the work area.  She (Margarita) has been known to take what one employee says about another to her in to that employee thereby causing discord in the group. We believe that Margarita would be better suited in another capacity rather than where she currently manages.

Not one employee wants her to lose her job, which I know she won’t, but feel she is a better fit not having to deal directly with employees. When we, as employees need assistance from mangers in their offices rarely is anyone available to help. Most times the assistance is quick often times leaving us feel as though we are bothering them, this is not a good feeling when you are asking for help when needed. We are not sure the reason Bernadette feels so adamantly about leaving these people in their positions, because when we had interim managers,(Margarita’s group) things went very well, we were assisted without hesitation and attitude. Employee morale has declined drastically since her return, It is true that all employees will not always be happy with management but a replacement for her would be a great start. The majority of complaints are referencing Margarita Flores. There are times when Margarita is interacting with her Spanish speaking employees on the floor and is speaking to them. This has been addressed and yet it still occurs.

This is not a” witch hunt” or attack on management of the PBS Department but if employees are to be productive as required we will need to have a management team that we can depend on, that is fair and available as needed. The departments have monthly requirements that all strive to meet but most employees are so stressed that it is sometimes impossible to meet the goals that are set, thereby causing health issues for employees.

The best remedy for this department is to place Margarita in a non-people contact position. She definitely knows her job, but is not the person to manage the collectors in her department. Several employees have tried to leave her department to be placed with another manager and have been denied. It appears the department is waiting for one of three things to occur, resign because of the environment in which you are working, get  fired for productivity, get written up for an inappropriate response which could cause disciplinary action against you. It is my hope that the UC Statement of Ethical Values be reviewed with emphasis on Fair Dealing, Individual Responsibility and Accountability.

I ask that you investigate and confer with Bernadette to see if there is a remedy for this problem as our union is very much aware of the conflict that exists. Employees on the 16th floor in all departments are constantly expressing their discontent with the current management. Each section has its issues with the management in place but the group that reports to Margarita Flores appears the most unhappy.
