CHYNA GOES BLACK AND GOLD FOR AIDS AWARNESS

Los Angeles, CA --- Article credit: blackandgoldgala.com -In honor of Los Angeles based philanthropist Christian Moralde's 40th Birthday, the 2012 Black & Gold Gala was an evening to be remembered with red carpet arrivals, soulful performances and an extensive silent auction with 100% of the silent auction proceeds going to benefit Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS.

From acclaimed Emmy Award winners to stars of the current Fox hit show, GLEE, many celebrities attended the 2012 Black and Gold Gala at the LA Center Studio, making the night a huge success.

The guest list included, FRENCHIE DAVIS who is best known for her amazing vocals and charismatic personality, her tenacity and vocal range, millions of Americans became familiar with Davis through the top rated show AMERICAN IDOL and, most recently, THE VOICE. With extensive theatre work that ranges from Broadway runs of RENT to a touring production of DREAMGIRLS, Davis teamed up with fellow AMERICAN IDOL alum Ruben Studdard and Trenyce Cobbins in the 30th anniversary national tour of the musical revue AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' (which later earned the teaming a 2010 Grammy nomination). As a recording artist, Davis is featured in the Tony Moran single "You Are" which peaked at number 5 on the Billboard hot clubplay chart. Currently, she is wrapping up her first in-studio album as a solo performer.

CHYNA who is best known for her role with the World Wrestling Federation, over a decade has past since Chyna last appeared in the WWF but that hasn't slowed Chyna down one bit. Very few entertainers have graced the covers of NEWSWEEK, TV GUIDE, and PLAYBOY, but former WWE star CHYNA has. From multi-story billboards in New York's Times Square to appearances on the Emmy winning THIRD ROCK FROM THE SUN and over a dozen films, Chyna is a force to be reckoned with. Chyna holds the distinction of being the only Diva in WWE history to compete, full time, in the men's division. She was the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble, qualify for the King of the Ring tournament, and be the number one contender for the WWF Championship. In 2001, Chyna released her autobiography IF THEY ONLY KNEW which spent time on THE NEW YORK TIMES' bestseller list. Currently, Chyna has partnered with the multi-million dollar entertainment company Vivid for current and future projects.

Her book “The Best Thing About My Ass Is That It’s Behind Me,” published by Harper Collins, is a brutally honest, comedic look at a chronic self-loather and former “chubby” girl trying to make it in the glamorous world of size “0” Hollywood. Missing her stand-up days, Lisa entertains a national listening audience through her radio gig, "The Fabulous Lisa Ann Walter Show" on KFI.
