Joe & Chico DeBarge do House of Blues

On June 25, the day we lost the King of Music, singers/songwriters Joe and Chico DeBarge took the stage at the House of Blues in Chicago, pleasing fans with a double bill. The two crooners had previously collaborated on the hit track "No Guarantee". They gave you a dose of the hot singles we all love as well as some new music. The crowd went ballistic at the opening rhythm of Chico's "Iggin me" and Joe did not disappoint. They both have new albums set for release on July 14. Look out for Joe's Signature album and Chico's Addiction. Of course the Flair girls were there. Check out Joe's emotional testament to Michael along with Flair snapshots. FlairTV caught up with singer/songwriter Joe after his show with Chico debarge at the House of Blues. Joe remembers Michael Jackson!



Beautiful!!


Here are more photos from the show.
Joe is looking very dapper while serenading the ladies. Chico took the stage and set it on fire. They are complete opposites in style. Joe is more sultry and seductive whereas Chico is more rugged, but both are melodic and know how to reel the ladies in on a different level. Check out the girls kickin' it for the evening and the cute couple. Fans really enjoyed the show!! The Toffee twins chatted with Joe backstage. Chico spoke to Falir about life and music. Ms. nekia Nichelle got a big ole' hug...aaawwww!

Flair was There: Kanye Gives Back to CPS Students

Kanye West returned to his native home, Chicago, and performed at the Historic Chicago Theater for the Kanye West foundation. This foundation was started by West and his mother the late Donda West who was an educator herself.

The mission of West's foundation is to promote education and combat the high dropout rate. More than 2,000 students who improved their grades during the course of the school year were treated to a live free performance from the man himself. A bevy of celebs came out for the cause.

The Neelys

FlairTV caught up with Food Network stars Patrick and Gina Neely at their booksigning for Down Home With the Neelys at Borders on State street in downtown Chicago.



Patrick and Gina were childhood sweethearts, but parted ways in their latter years. After tearing his ACL playing football, Patrick went to work in his Uncle's restaraunt along with other members of the Neely clan. From there a spark was lit. Patrick and his brothers developed a natural fervor for barbeque and decided to start there own business. Many obstacles and successes later, they opened several more places. Patrick and Gina were kindred souls. Gina divorced and had a child from a previous marriage, but nothing would keep her from Pat. They rekindled and have had a worldwind of achievement, but are still humble enough to remind you of your next door neighbor. They have a second show, Road Tasted with the Neelys, on the Food Network that airs on Tuesdays at 9:30/8:30pm central.





Look out for video coming soon!!
