Celebrity Connection Celebrates Mardi Gras With Shannon Elizabeth

We recently booked actress Shannon Elizabeth (of “American Pie” and “Scary Movie”) to be crowned Queen of Mardi Gras at Universal Studios in Orlando, the largest and longest-running Mardi Gras celebration outside of New Orleans. Shannon opened Universal’s 10-week long Mardi Gras celebration by riding atop a float as Queen of the Mardi Gras parade.

Celebrity Connection’s Award Winning Production

Celebrity Connection served as the Talent Coordinator for the first annual TVLand Awards. The unique award show was a true celebration of classic TV and honored viewers’ favorite series, characters and events from television's past. The ceremony was taped on March 2 at the Hollywood Palladium and will be shown on Nick@Nite and TVLand throughout the month of March.

In addition to securing telecast host John Ritter and pre-show hosts Kathy Najimy, Martin Mull, and Keshia Knight Pulliam, Celebrity Connection ensured that more than 70 of TV’s current and classic stars were there to enjoy the show as well as to perform, present, and accept the awards.

Celebrities in attendance included cast members from favorite shows such as “Mary Tyler Moore,” “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” “The Brady Bunch,” “The Partridge Family,” “The Love Boat,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “Laverne and Shirley,” “All in the Family,” “Diff’rent Strokes,” and many more.
