‘Sharknado’ draws twice the Twitter action than ‘Game of Thrones’ Wedding

I am LOVING the whole Twitterverse getting in on the Sharknado fun.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

There were more than 604,000 tweets about the irresistibly Sharknado from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m ET on Thursday, according to social media analytics firm Fizziology. The Syfy film, which starred Tara Reid, Ian Ziering and Casie Scerbo, premiered at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Putting that figure in context, HBO’s widely discussed Game of Thrones “Red Wedding” episode drew 241,000 tweets in response to the show, Fizziology said.

Twitter also contextualized the outsized response to the sharks-meet-tornados B-movie, produced by Asylum. The micro-blogging platform’s official Data account posted a chart showing a peak of more than 5,000 tweets a minute were referencing Sharknado at 10:58 pm ET.

Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty check out Ian Ziering at Chippendales

There was a Beverly Hills 90210 reunion in Las Vegas last night as Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty visited Chippendales at the Rio to show their support for fellow 90210er Ian Ziering currently headlining the iconic show.

Ziering — who played Steve Sanders on the Aaron Spelling drama, opposite Garth’s Kelly Taylor and Doherty’s Brenda Walsh — welcomed his former costars backstage, where they staged a mini 90210 reunion. The trio were thrilled to see one another and posed for pictures on the red carpet.

I was lucky to spend the evening with the two gorgeous ladies and I have to report they could not be nicer or more fun. They were bowled over the second they saw Ian and his awesome abs, and laughed and applauded through the 75 minutes of “twisted steel and sex appeal” onstage.

During pre-show conversation Shannen and I talked about her big LGBT fan base and she mentioned how she’s always been aware and appreciative of how loyal the gays have been to her through her career.

The three TV stars also mentioned that yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the “graduation day” episode of Beverly Hills 90210.

Cool that the three could have their own reunion in LV.

p.s. I should mention these three clearly don’t age.  All are just as hot as ever.  I think it has a lot to do with their genes and how great they are as people.

Ian Ziering opens in Las Vegas as celeb guest host for Chippendales

I really don’t have to add much, do I?  Other than maybe, “hello abs…”

You may remember that shortly before Ian took on the gig of being Chippendales’ new celeb guest host, TMZ called him out for being out of shape.  Well, that’s that…

I caught Ian’s debut this past Saturday and the completely packed house went WILD for Ian.  He’s a terrific host for the show; he’s featured in a couple of dance numbers; and he has one of the best “t-shirt tear aways” I’ve seen. 

“Magic Mike” isn’t the only place you can see Hollywood’s hunkiest. Head to Las Vegas to check out Ian at the Rio All-Suites Hotel at the Chippendales Theater.  Limited run through June 2013.

Check out video and pics from Ian’s first night below:

Ian Ziering to be new Celebrity Guest Star & Host at Chippendales

Starting June 6th, for one month only, Ian Ziering will take the stage in Las Vegas as the new Celebrity Guest Star & Host for The world-famous Chippendales.

One of the stars of the original “90210” and more recently a semi-finalist on “Dancing With the Stars,” Ziering looks to be an excellent choice to follow former Chippendales guest hosts Joey Lawrence, Jeff Timmons (of 98 Degrees), Jake Pavelka (“The Bachelor”) and Ronnie Magro (“Jersey Shore”).

Not only did Ziering show he’s got the muscles and moves on DWTS, he shows a sense of humor in a shout-out to TMZ about the Chippendales appearance (via press release):

“Actors and performers never know what their next job will be and when I got the call from Chippendales my jaw dropped as it came on the heels of TMZ calling me fat on national TV,” says Ziering. “I am passionate about health and fitness so I’ve kept in shape, and dancing is something I’ve always enjoyed so I figured why not?”

When Ziering ran the idea by his wife she responded, “Go for it Magic Ian!” “I am so excited to be a part of this iconic worldwide organization, it’s really a dream come true!” says Zieiring. “Hey TMZ, I’ve got two front row seats for you!”

In March 2013, for the second consecutive year, the Chippendales won both the Readers’ and Critics’ Choice in the annual “Best of Las Vegas” awards as “Best Male Strip Show” – adding to an already impressive collection of accolades.

Catch Ian at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas from June 6 – June 30th.
