“DWTS” premieres on Monday September 20 at 8:00 p.m.

The event started around 9:00 a.m. on Saturday with a steel band competition, followed by Kids’ Day on Sunday.

Dancers wearing vibrant costumes danced along a three-and-a-half-mile route to the sound of steel drums and 40 static sound systems, while food vendors selling curry goat and rice and peas lined the streets.

The event was started in 1966 as a local festival set up by the West Indian community of the Notting Hill area.  Today, it is just as good as the Eastern Parkway Carnival in Brooklyn, New York or Caribana in Toronto, Canada.

The mayor of London, Boris Johnson said “The event showcases the immense contribution that Caribbean Londoners have made and continue to make to life in the capital.”  He said the event “highlights the richness of Caribbean culture” and it is the perfect summer celebration.

Police set up search points at all entrances to the event to make sure no one brought weapons to the event.

The event started on Saturday with a steel band competition and then Sunday’s Kids’ Day.  The main event will take place on Monday, which is a bank holiday.

During the day, “Shelly’s on The River” is a fine restaurant for executives in the area or women who do lunch, but by night, it becomes a Jazz/Old School R&B club.

Shelly’s is located in the Hampton Inn at 26 Mill River Street in downtown Stamford, but don’t let the name of the hotel turn you away.

The newly renovated hotel was once an assisted living home, but, prior to that, it was an upscale boutique hotel catering to the Fairfield County elite clientele.

The food at Shelly’s is complemented by the ambiance of the dining room.  The burnt orange walls with rustic wall sconces and chandeliers are in a relaxed room that could be separated for private parties.

 The restaurant also features outdoor dining.

Diners can feast on Stuffed Cornbread Crusted Chicken Breast, which is served with grilled vegetables or Cajun spiced rubbed Rib-Eye steak served with caramelized onions and mashed potatoes. Price ranges from $14-$27.

Or, if you are looking for a light snack while listening to the band, I suggest the fried calamari or quesadillas.  Prices on the light menu range from $5-$10

On Thursday nights, the tables are removed from the center of the dining room and the space is turned into a stage for a live band and a dance floor.

Reservations are not required for lunch or dinner, but if you are planning to have a good time on the dance floor I suggest you get there between 9-9:30.

The hotel heiress was riding in a Cadillac Escalade when it was pulled over in front of the Wynn Hotel around 11:30 p.m. Friday.

Authorities are investigating the death of Gertrude “Luna” Vachon, whose body was found at her mother’s home yesterday.

The Canadian-born wrestler had been living with her mother because her home had recently burned down.

Vachon, 48, was part of a legendary Canadian pro wrestling family.  Her father Paul “Butler” Vachon, her uncle Maurice “Mad Dog” Vachon, and her aunt Vivian Vachon were all successful wrestlers.

Vachon, who was nicknamed the “Daughter of Darkness,” started her career in 1986 and was often known for her intimidating look, which including shaving part of her head and wearing a painted face.

Her death comes two weeks to the day since former WWE star Lance “Lance Cade” McNaught died at the age of 29.

Vachon had been under contract various times with WWE from 1993 to 2000.

Her death is the latest setback for WWE former CEO and Greenwich resident, Linda McMahon, who is running for U.S. Senate.

McMahon’s opponents have accused her and her company of disregarding the welfare of her wrestlers.

I would love for McMahon to explain to Connecticut voters why so many of her wrestlers die at such a young age.  Your political ads talk about you being a “successful” business person, well success is not always measure by dollars, it was also measure by how you get to those dollars.

New Haven lawyer Diane Polan says her clients, Quentin Price and Uriah Baker, insist they did not rape a fan at a house party in Orange, Polan claims the sex was consensual.

Twenty-nine year old Barker, of Lansing, Michigan, and Price, who sells merchandise for the band, were arrested in July after a woman claims she was raped while attending a private party after a concert in the area.

According to reports, after the band had played at Café Nine in New Haven, they attended a very small private party at a friend’s house in Orange.

Partygoers told police that no one knew the victim, who had arrived at the party uninvited.

Band member Courtney Kostrick said she began to flirt with many men at the party and she “was trying to have sex with everybody. She was grabbing dudes left and right.”

He said she pulled Baker and Price, 29, into a bathroom to have sex with them.  He said after the encounter, the woman stayed around and continued to party with band.

The next day, police arrived at the house and began to question everyone.

Baker and Price were charged with first-degree sexual assault.  They are free on $75,000 bail, but they are not allowed to leave Connecticut.

They are scheduled to appear in court on September 14.

The band continues to travel without its drummer.
