The big question was answered at the highly anticipated tenth annual Blue Jacket Fashion Show which took place in New York City - would podcaster Don Lemon attend, as he usually has, and what would he say about his recent arrest. The 59 year old former journalist was released on his own recognizance without bail on January 30th following his arrest in Los Angeles regarding a January 18th protest at a Minnesota church. Lemon was indicted on federal charges of conspiracy and interfering with religious freedom, which he has vowed to fight the charges, declaring, “I will not be silenced”. The Blue Jacket Fashion Show was founded by fashion designer Frederick Anderson to benefit ZERO Prostate Cancer, with the evening blending the realms of fashion, entertainment, sports, healthcare, and media to address the critical issue of prostate cancer openly. As part of this annual event, free screenings will be held in various New York City locations. #donlemon #freespeech #prostatecancer #billnye #allanhouston

Don Lemon Appears on Stage in NYC - Defends Free Speech

The big question was answered at the highly anticipated tenth annual Blue Jacket Fashion Show which took place in New York City - would podcaster Don Lemon attend, as he usually has, and what would he say about his recent arrest. The 59 year old former journalist was released on his own recognizance without bail on January 30th following his arrest in Los Angeles regarding a January 18th protest at a Minnesota church. Lemon was indicted on federal charges of conspiracy and interfering with religious freedom, which he has vowed to fight the charges, declaring, "I will not be silenced". The Blue Jacket Fashion Show was founded by fashion designer Frederick Anderson to benefit ZERO Prostate Cancer, with the evening blending the realms of fashion, entertainment, sports, healthcare, and media to address the critical issue of prostate cancer openly. The guests were happy that Don Lemon overruled his legal advisors and attended even though he decided not to walk in the fashion show Lemon repeatedly stressed he was not participating in the demonstration, but covering it as a journalist. Yet Vice President JD Vance told a podcaster this week Vance that Lemon’s behavior was “a violation of the law” and that his actions were “not about the First Amendment.” With a specific emphasis on tackling racial disparities and underserved communities, the Blue Jacket Fashion Show is more than just a display of style; it’s a platform for meaningful conversations about a disease that impacts one-in-eight men. As part of this annual event, free screenings will be held in various New York City locations. #donlemon #freespeech #prostatecancer #billnye #allanhouston #bluejackets #jarule #jnj #johnsonandjohnson #mancave #fashionshow @zeroprostatecancer @TheDonLemonShow @TheRealBillNye @jarule1

Kevin James on Solo Mio: “The Best Film I’ve Ever Made” | NYC Premiere | NYC VIBE

Solo Mio premiered right here in New York City, and NYC VIBE caught up with Kevin James on the red carpet to talk about why this project feels different, and why he believes audiences will connect with it. James stars as Matt — a fourth-grade art teacher whose dream of a picture-perfect Italian wedding comes to a sudden halt when he’s left at the altar in Rome. Heartbroken and stranded in what’s supposed to be the happiest city in the world, Matt makes an unexpected decision — he goes on his honeymoon alone. What begins as a wedding disaster slowly turns into an adventure he never planned for. Kevin James didn’t just star in "Solo Mio" — he also co-wrote and produced the film, bringing a more grounded, reflective tone than audiences may expect. While the movie has humor, it leans into something deeper — allowing moments of stillness, vulnerability, and personal growth to take center stage. Over the years, James has balanced stand-up, television, and film — starring in hits like "Paul Blart: Mall Cop", "Here Comes the Boom", and "Grown Ups", while also delivering acclaimed comedy specials for Netflix, Prime Video, and Comedy Central. But with "Solo Mio", Kevin James steps into a more personal kind of storytelling — one that reflects growth, change, and the idea that life rarely goes according to plan. And sometimes, that’s where the real story begins. @AngelStudiosInc @kevinjames #solomio #rome #roma #italy #romcom

January 2026 - Hell’s Kitchen, NYC: Magic Mike LIVE is now developing an all new production that will premiere this October. Created and directed by Channing Tatum, Magic Mike Live is designed to merge hospitality, nightlife along with live entertainment - all carefully mixed together to create a special experience. Channing and the development team have been hard at work on this production with the aim to deliver a show with the spirit of confidence, celebration of the body, and female empowerment - bringing together a global roster of the finest dancers and athletes for an atmosphere built for an unforgettable evening that will create a buzz that has not been seen in Times Square in a long time. At the site of the old Copacabana, NYC VIBE’s Mike Leventhal was invited with the media to hear from Channing and the creative team - with the revelation that the interior has been gutted - with a new renovated, multi-function and custom-built venue now under construction. This all started with the film Magic Mike released in 2012 where Channing Tatum actually financially backed the film! Did you know that before Channing Tatum was an actor he was actually a male stripper in Tampa for 10 months? Magic Mike Live wants to be NYC's "Ultimate Girls' Night out," with a 90-minute show that takes it cues from the successful movie franchise featuring dance routines, acrobatics, and a waterfall scene that Channing says he is planning to be on stage on an unannounced night - which he will decide when the spirit moves him. NYC VIBE will be back during the summer months to watch rehearsals and talk with the cast as the production is finalized. #channingtatum #magicmike #magicmikenailedit #copacabana @magicmikelive

December 2025 - Midtown Manhattan, NYC: The big news breaking from the 2025 RFK Ripple of Hope award ceremony in New York City is that longtime president, Kerry Kennedy - RFK’s daughter, will be leaving her position as the president of the highly respected organization. Kerry told NYC VIBE that she will remain on the Board of Directors and continue to play an active role in the organization’s initiatives and advocacy efforts.

In partnership with local activists, they advocate for key human rights issues—championing change makers and pursuing strategic litigation at home and around the world. And to ensure change that lasts, they foster a social-good approach to business and investment and educate students about human rights and social justice. @kennedyhrc #robertfkennedy #kennedy #magicjohnson #darrenwalker #martincabrerajr #stephencolbert
