College Night Wednesdays was packed as usual. The boys were sexy and the vibe was hot! Another insane night!

On Friday, Jessie and the Toy Boys swung by Filthy Gorgeous to perform their latest hits, right after their performance at the American Airlines Arena. They said the Miami crowd has been their favorite one so far. Can you imagine touring with Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj? Incredible! Soon after their performance, Derek B from America's Got Talent hit the stage with an amazing Britney Spears impersonation. He had the crowd going wild... Some people even thought it was really her!

The weather on Sunday was amazing, and the pool was packed at Cabana Boy Sundays. I chilled out by the pool with friends, while DJ Juan E got the boys jumping!

Out of control! That was the theme this week at College Night Wednesdays. Non-stop partying, playing beer pong and flip cup. This party drains me!

Danny Ferro's venture into nightlife promo was a hit: Thursday night's Pop Fever was hot! South Beach's favorite dual DJ Daisy D spun 80's/ POP/Hip Hop, and CHYNA manned the door. The newly-remodeled bar's light shows really set the mood for the party. The crowd was sexy... and the music was sick.

Ebonee Excel's surprise performance of J Lo's "On the Floor" had everyone talking at Filthy Gorgeous Fridays. She worked the stage and then ended up climbing over the railing and swinging over the audience. It was priceless! We celebrated SoBe socialite Sabret Sordo and NYC's party boy Erol Zeren's Birthdays. This party rocks!

Circus was the theme for at Sunday's Out & Ugly. Stilt walkers, flame throwers, jugglers and freak shows come to life joined the party!

Beer Pong seems to be the new unofficial theme for College Night Wednesdays. What a great way to start my week!

The kick-off party for Miami Swim Week is one of my favorite events of the year because it gets the whole beach buzzing! The night always brings out the most beautiful people, and this year was no exception. The catwalk was surrounded by reality tv stars, Sports Illustrated models, hip-hop music producers and NFL players. The highlight of the event was when TV personality Kristin Calallari hit the runway wearing a "glass-like" bikini! HOT!

I had one of the craziest weeks ever! College Night Wednesdays is one of my favorites. My friends and I were amazed at how many hotties were there. Throughout the night, the boys got creative with a beer pong competition that actually ended up as strip pong. Things got really got out of control when one of the bartenders pulled out his own beer pong. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

Friday at Filthy Gorgeous, I was worried we would be over capacity since the upstairs room was closed for renovations... and I was right! The amount of party goers was overwhelming and my stress level was high. The crowd was no joke. Everyone was calling out, "Tony, let me in!" Meanwhile, the music was insane and the dance floor was pumping with energy. A sight to see.

Lets not forget Sunday funday! The weather was amazing and gorgeous boys were coming in and out of the pool at the Cabana Boy Pool Party. Dj Juan-E turned it out as we chilled by the pool next to a huge punch bowl. The day flew by and it was time to get to Out & Ugly. What a sexy party! DJ Latrice was, as always, wearing a fierce outfit and her music had everyone dancing while the bartenders entertained the crowd with performances to timeless rock songs! A perfect weekend!

My week started with a lei! I hosted a Hawaiian-themed event, complete with DJ, tropical infused drinks, organic pineapple pizza and coffee.

I knew this week would be a busy one so I wasn't surprised that College Night Wednesdays was packed early! There were so many out-of-towners here for the long weekend --4th of July is really popular in South Beach and we get a ton of tourists ready to party and experience my great city. We were also celebrating the HALO reunion so there were a lot of familiar faces as well. DJ Felix had the boys dancing for hours! My friends and I ended up all over South Beach since it was my birthday weekend too (even though it was only Wednesday)!

Filthy Gorgeous Fridays was incredible! My official birthday celebration at the sexiest party in South Beach? Life is good. I had a few surprises. The first was an unexpected performance by Zsa Zsa and Lucky. I'm not sure what song they did... all I know was Lucky rolled out a suitcase onto the stage and out popped Zsa Zsa! Acrobatics and sexy dancing was followed by some indoor fireworks! Incredible! At some point, I was led to the stage. All of a sudden, Lady Gaga's "Bad Kids" started to play. -- one of my favorites from her new CD. My very patriotic cake was brought out full of sparklers. It read "Happy Birthday Tony! King of South Beach!" Loved it! Sexy go-go boys decorated the speaker boxes all through the night while bottles rolled out without an end in sight!

I was one of the hosts for Miami Mr. Gay on Saturday. There was some behind the scenes drama -- some of the contestants had cold feet but with my powers of persuasion, everything fell into place. The contest was hosted by Kitty Meow and after an explosive performance of 'Born This Way,' this year's winner was crowned. Congratulations to Ely Seda, Miami Mr. Gay 2011! Cabana Boy Sundays was amazing! We had DJ Justin Dawson from New York City as a special guest! He's a really sweet guy and really knows how to keep the boys drinking and dancing! The weather was amazing and the pool was packed.

Out and Ugly Sundays was insane! Any party with a disclaimer on the door has got to be HOT! It's an interactive party and you may get a little wet (that's the disclaimer!). So much fun. Some guy from London decided to jump onto the bar and do a full split while taking tequila sots! The bartender's performance of Kiss's "I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night" was legendary!

Well, after a long weekend of partying there is always a bit of calm but I'm sure there will be some madness soon! There will be a change in venue with Le Kitty Cat Club Mondays. I will keep you posted as soon as I can.

My week started with Le Kitty Cat Club Mondays, where there were shows by South Beach Icon Adora, the ever creative Natasha Tsakos, the eclectic Olga Saretsky and the bionic Luckner Bruno! The crowd was mesmerized and I got great feedback from the partygoers. Sophistication without Pretension!

I had a bit of drama at Mova on Wednesday when my resident DJ called out, and my back-up was booked at another venue. Thankfully, DJ La Trice saved the day. My hero! The night was insane - since school is out, College Night was packed. I had some of my crazy friends in town from New York, so after a ridiculously tiring night, we ended up at Twist. Crazy!

On Friday, we hosted a private birthday party for my besties Rick Araya and NYC's nightlife staple JC Castro, then headed down to Filthy Gorgeous Fridays TGIF CD release party, which was so Katy Perry! DJ Mac played house remixes of the pop star's songs and Poizon Ivy's rendition of 'E.T.' had the boys going crazy. My gorgeous friend Betty Bergnes and I decided to hit the stage for the CD giveaway. People will do anything for a freebie... at one point, some chick was flashing us!

The next day, I hosted B*tch. We celebrated South Beach Diva Asia Aviance's birthday. To stay true to the party, I decided to hang with my bitches in the VIP room, dancing and poppin' bottles till 5am. Great turnout - lots of sexy guys!

At the Cabana Boy Sunday Pool Party, my friend and South Beach personality Michael Stanley and I had an open casting call for Miami Mr. Gay. We interviewed and signed up a ton of hot boys for the competition, which happens next week. The party was packed with sexy new faces and European boys everywhere!

I ended the night at Out & Ugly. It was so much fun! The bartenders surprised everyone with a performance to "I Love Rock n' Roll' by Joan Jett, and again, DJ La Trice rocked it hard, as usual...!

An interview with Jai Rodriguez

Tony Ferrero: You are a successful actor, producer and a positive role model. As a gay man, what message would you like to get across to our gay youth?
Jai Rodriguez: I think there are a LOT of positive gay images in the media. WAY different from when I was younger. If anything I'd say to be proud of who YOU are and live proud and loud.

I watched you in Summer Shorts and thought you were great! Tell me about your experiences with the different roles, which is your favorite (I know my favorite).
Being able to switch into these different characters is really an actor's dream. I'd say playing Uri, an Israeli guard, is my favorite role. He reconnects with an old friend at a check point and is faced with a very difficult decision.

Let's talk about Miami. You've been here before -- what do you love most about it?
Well this trip has been WAY more work than I'm used to but I have to say the people here and the food are my favorite things about Miami. I love Cuban food! Especially Cuban sandwiches with a cafe con leche!

What is one of your most memorable moments in your professional career?
I'd say winning my Emmy was a pretty jaw dropping moment. But most recently playing a transgender woman on NBC's Harry's Law was probably the biggest acting challange of my life. Being on a David E Kelly show is a huge honor.

What's playing on your iPod right now?
Ha. I feel like I'm a sucker for top 40 hits. I LOVE NIkki Minaj. Not a HUGE rap fan but she is more than just a rapper.

Now for the most important question of all: Gaga? Madonna? Britney? Christina? Why?
Hmmm. All of the above. Madonna paved the way. Having worked with Gaga in her 'Telephone' video, I know she is as uniquely authentic to her self as she is with her music. But Christina's voice is so distinct and powerful that it's hard not to get chills when I hear it sometimes. As far as Britney goes, I am glad she is making some good music again. I was always such a huge fan of hers and I remember the days that even Madonna bowed to the princess of pop. It's good to see her doing well.

What's Next:
We will be celebrating Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night TGIF" CD release this week at Filthy Gorgeous Fridays! The song has become our weekly anthem. I'm sure we will have some surprise performances! We are also looking for special guest DJ's for some of our summer events and parties we do this every year to try and showcase new talent!

What a fun week! I started my new Monday night party, Le Kitty Cat Club, and it was a huge success. The performances were outrageous and they definitely pushed the envelope. The following night I hit Martini Tuesdays for Jai Rodriguez's birthday party. They brought out bottles and a huge cake for him. His face was like a little boy in a candy store. About an hour later Jai called me over and said, "I'm ready for a change of scene. Where do we go?" I said "Planeta Macho, of course. If you're in Miami you need to check out the latin hotties." This party has been around for eight years and is still going strong. So we head out and we're greeted at the door by "DANEE" the door guy, who also happens to be my brother. He immediately called over the VIP host and rushed us to the front of the line. The party was pumpin' We had a blast. The next day I was ready for College Night and as always it was packed with cuties, the cheapest drinks in town and a good time. Friday night time for my favorite dance party, Filthy Gorgeous. For some reason EVERYONE was out! Maybe the weather? Well it made me happy the see all my SoBe boys having a good time. The crowed was going wild to DJ Mac's new remixes and it was interesting to see break-dancers rockin-it-out on the dance floor. SEXY! My buddy Scott Hauser throws a Saturday monthly, so another reason to rock a hot outfit. The party was kickin' with SoBe socialites Merle Weiss, Darryl Fox, Chris Richards, The Penny Back Boyz and the owner of LORDS Hotel Brian Gorman you get the point, it was a great event. Sunday funday! I was up early and ready to get wet at the Cabana Boy Pool Party. The weather was a bit rocky but nothing stopped us from having an amazing time. Huge punch bowls, sexy boys and fun music. Later that night I went to my Out & Ugly Party and true to its Coyote Ugly feel I was greeted by Cory, one for the bartenders, with an ice cold bucket of water over my head! I got soaked, but was ready to reciprocate! The bartenders danced to routines while doing their bar tricks. There was MADNESS throughout the night. During the week I also got a chance to meet with Jai Rodriguez again and ask him some questions regarding his career and his shows, he is a sweet guy and was very cool to talk to.

Recap

What a week! On Wednesday DJ J Felix rocked it out at College Night! School is out for the summer and college boys like to get their drink on, so everyone was a little more insane than usual! Beer pong and beer bong was the highlight of the night and made it one of the most memorable. On Thursday I watched the performances of Summer Shorts and Dirty Little Secrets -- both shows are headlined by Jai Rodriguez. Outstanding performances by Jai and the cast had me laughing throughout the shows -- a must see.

The party continued on Friday at Filthy Gorgeous and, as usual, the club was packed! Cuties surrounded the dance floor, sexy gogo's were on the boxes and Dj Mac turned it out. I decided to chill with my sexy group of "UM Boys" in the VIP area before they go home for the summer. Let's just say they are wild and we were poppin' bottles till 5 a.m. Also, several lucky party goers won tickets to Jai Rodriguez's performances for Summer Shorts and Dirty Little Secrets. I live for Sunday Fundays! What words can I use to describe the Cabana Boy party? SEXY? CRAZY? BEAUTIFUL? Well, some of SOBE's sexiest were in the pool while some crazy tourists were jaming off beat to DJ Juan E's mix of pop/house remixes. It was very interesting to watch but nonetheless entertaining! The weather was amazing and the drinks were delicious. Later that evening I dropped by the Out & Ugly party ' it's like a full moon: It brings out the crazies! Again DJ La Trice surprised us with some new remixes and the boys loved it. The bartenders were wild giving away shots, getting each other wet, and ultimately ripping each other's shirts off! Let me just add I got a text from Babak the owner the next morning -- that's always a good sign!

I'm so excited about our new Monday night party starting June 13th, Le Kitty Cat Club. It's going to be a night of avant garde performances with a burlesque and vaudeville feel. We met with the lead performer, Natasha, and she is going to be out of control: she has total creative freedom and has so many unexpected acts planned!

This Friday, June 10th at Filthy Gorgeous, we're giving away tickets to Jai Rodriguez's Summer Shorts and Dirty Little Secrets. He's headlining both shows and we're really excited to be part of his promotion team.

College Night Wednesdays was packed with gorgeous boys playing beer pong while others were enjoying copious shots. It was the perfect combination for a wet boxer contest. Boys in tightie-whities (playing with rubber duckies, no less) were getting wet. Let's just say things got a little out of control! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Over at Filthy Gorgeous Fridays, the music was pumping, VIP was on fire and the crowd was going berserk. I took a peek outside and the line was around the corner: there were sooooo many hotties trying to get in. What a fantastic night!

Cabana Boy Sundays was the perfect Sunday funday. I chilled by the pool with some of my crazy friends, and we enjoyed strong drinks from a huge punch bowl, surrounded by loads of eye candy. DJ Juan E on the turntables was spinning sexy house music. Miami is paradise!

At Out & Ugly Sundays, the bartenders got into character and acted a bit crazy, wild and just ugly. We also welcomed DJ Latrice, who spun a mix of house, old school and top 40. I have to say she's a knockout and has amazing energy. This party rocks!
