Turns out Jewel is BFF with Perez Hilton. Apparently, Perez saw at a show of hers years and years ago a small club in Miami and saved the ticket stub and pictures. Check out the post below.
Well, dinner was good- we ate at Nobu and it was delicious! I’m a food fan, and my favorite things on the menu are the new style Kobe beef and the yellow tail with jalapeño- man, so good!The party was what you would expect- a red carpet where I got to get the word out about my album, and Ty got to talk about the show. When we stepped inside, it wasn’t too full and I got to talk with Perez a bit- yeah, I know we seem like odd friends! Perez first saw me when I was about 19 or 20 and he was 16 or 17, when I sang in a tiny club in Miami. He loved my music so much, he saved the ticket stub and pictures he took that night, and he put them in his scrapbook. He saved it all these years, and last year he took me aside and showed me the scrapbook- and there were these old pictures of me he took from the audience and the ticket stub!!!! So sweet! He likes real music and values and supports people who try to be original. He hates, well, the opposite- and I guess he has found a way to make a living at it! But as a friend, he is really kind and supportive. I also really have an affinity for people who have struggled through hard times and have overcome them. I guess I see myself as a kind of misfit that has fought through things to persevere, and I identify with people who do that, too. It was cute that night at the club- he was wearing a tour t-shirt of mine from ‘95 or ‘96! Click here to read more and see pictures from our night!
