When Media Mogul Eric Zuley walks the red carpet all the media/press and photographers attention are on him. On Saturday, December 11, 2010 Eric Zuley attended King Ryan Events The Best of the Best II. Eric told media representatives on the red carpet that he was one of the award presenters. Eric Zuley presented the Award for Urban Kings Best Hip Hop Album to Skeet.
King Ryan knows how to promote events and get people to attend, but he works with unprofessional and rude people such as those in security who do not know how to distinguish celebrities or media. King Ryan is helping the community by giving the kids an opportunity to showcase their art and take them away from the streets.
Some of the celebrities who attended the event were: Maryam Shepardson (KLAS FM Maryam Talk Radio host), Bianca Renne (Model/Actress/Host and Dancer), Eric Ronald Kandell (Model and Actor), Ryan Torres (Actors Manager), Arthur Edmonds (NCIS Los Angeles), Betrice Coleman-Sweet (Publicist), Charyse Monet (Actress), Vanessa Ray (Model / Actress) and Michael Benz (Events Host).
The event was hosted by Artist and Entertainer Mr. Upshaw. The event was held at Vanguard Nightclub in Hollywood, CA. For more information about the King Ryan Events visit http://urbankingshowcase.com/

About Eric Zuley: Eric Zuley (aka EZ) is most prominently known as the television host for WTV (What U Need TV), a company he started in 2006, but his other talents are in public relations, acting, rap, and dance. Additionally, Eric is passionate about community service. His role as a host for WTV evolved from the original premise of the company, which was to chronicle Eric’s own road to stardom. As Eric’s career quickly progressed, WTV became the perfect compliment to another venture he undertook as a publicist with Gith Public Relations. Both companies have turned heads amongst Hollywood’s elite with their top notch event coverage and promotion at Hollywood’s hottest red carpet events.

In another note Dear readers, Vanguard Night Club is located in Hollywood and the event was good. We were in the VIP area, but when we wanted to come back one security guy named Sexy was very rude. Please do not support this kind of club and tell your friends. We contacted Vanguard Night Club management to report this issue but as of the date of publishing this story they have not contacted us.
