Kim, Kanye & Baby Make 3


It’s official; Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are parents.
Hi everyone, Mary Collins with the Monday Shindigz Party News Blast.

Kanye West celebrated his first Fathers Day as Kim Kardashian gave birth to their first child the night before. It’s a girl, but there’s no word on a name yet. Some “source” tells E! News that Kim has been telling friends and family that the name “will start with a ‘K,’” just like Kanye, Kim, Kim’s mom Kris and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney.
Their daughter arrived about five weeks early, since Kim wasn’t due until sometime next month. Supposedly, she weighed in at “under five pounds,” but both Kim and the baby are in good health.

Man of Steel” had a huge opening weekend, making $125 million since Thursday. That breaks the record for the biggest June opening weekend ever. It’s also the second best opening for the year, with only “Iron Man 3” doing better.

And congratulations to Miss Connecticut, she’s our new Miss USA, crowned last night in Las Vegas.

Full House Revelation & Man of Steel Looks for a Super Weekend


It was just yesterday the Olsen twins celebrated their 27th birthday and today, another Full House development.

I’m Mary Collins and this is your Shindigz Party News Blast.

Another Full House development…  as we know, Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky were married on the show, but in real life, John Stamos and Lori Loughlin never hooked up. But apparently that’s a source of some regret John now admits. He says, “No disrespect to her family, but she’s the one that got away.”

Heading to the movies this weekend?  Look for the return of Superman to the big screen in Man of Steel. They are hoping for a weekend debut of $100 million or more.

Here’s a great story, you’ve heard of pay of pay it forward right? Maybe go through a drive thru and when you get to the window the person in front of you paid for your order?    Well that happened in Zephyrhills, Florida in extreme fashion. An older woman who visited Buddy Freddys on Sunday with another older woman and younger man paid the bill for every customer in the restaurant, all 180 of them. The random act of kindness had customers wondering if it could have been the record Powerball jackpot winner Gloria C. Mackenzie, of Zephyrhills, which is less than 20 miles away. But George Weaver, the manager on duty at the time, doesn’t think it was the 84-year-old who won the $590 million jackpot. “The only real explanation was that they liked the service and they liked the atmosphere and wanted to pay for everyone’s meal,” he said.

On that happy note, have a great Fathers Day weekend from Shindigz.

Everything You Need to Know About Hosting a Summer Party for Tweens


Everything You Need to Know About Hosting a Summer Party for Tweens

Beat the Heat

Pinata's are fun for all ages!

Pinata’s are fun for all ages!

Use water balloons as balls in a fun game of dodgeball.  Not only is it a classic group game it will help cool off your guests as they enjoy themselves.  Water balloons can also be turned into piñatas that surprise the player with a shower of water when they break the balloon.  Or add a regular piñata as another game to play.

Make the Decorations a Game

Place small favors in balloons that way each child is able to break a balloon and earn a favor.  Any small favor in a balloon can turn a regular balloon into an individual piñata for each of your guests.  If you would rather not pick up the pieces of broken balloons then hanging gliders would be another option.  Before the activities the gliders make fun decoration.  During the activities it is quite simple to have a glider flying contest.  Simply take them down and see who can throw theirs the furthest.

Angry Birds

If you want to integrate some bird slinging and pig popping fun into your party an Angry Birds party would be right on target.  With decorations and tableware to fit this theme you can make sure only the birds are angry at your party.  You can create your own levels for your guests to defeat.  Set up blocks in fun configurations and fling your bean bag birds try and knock them all down.

Hawaiian Party

Break out the leis and grass skirts and have a luau this summer.  Invite your guests to participate by donning Hawaiian print shirts, grass skirts, and as many leis as they want.  With a few surfboard and palm tree standees any space can look like an island paradise.  To add to the fun have a limbo or hula hoop contest to see who has the most island spirit.

Even the pickiest tweens will find themselves having fun at your party this summer.

Birthday Party with The Olsen Twins?


If you’ve got a piece of autographed Rolling Stones memorabilia that you didn’t see them sign personally, there’s a chance it’s FAKE. But that doesn’t mean it was NOT signed by a member of the Stones.

I’m Mary Collins with the Shindigz Party News Blast…

Former Rolling Stone bassist Bill Wyman says, “There were stacks and stacks of autographed books, programs to be signed, and we just used to grab a bunch each and sign everybody’s name.

The approaching responsibilities of fatherhood certainly don’t seem to have haven’t humbled Kanye West in the least. The hip-hop artist reflected on his career, his achievements, missteps and fame and revealed some of the creative process behind his sixth album, in an interview in with New York Times. As usual, the 36-year-old speaks highly of himself, comparing himself at different points in the interview to many greats including: Michael Jordan, Walt Disney, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs.

Can you believe that actress Mary-Kate Olsen is 27. So is her twin sister, actress Ashley Olsen is 27. We’d like to go to their Birthday party.

Today also marks 3 weeks until the Fourth of July and good news, you’re in the perfect place and to shop for your supplies and decorations at Shindigz.com.
