Palmistry expert, Lisa Greenfield with Kelly Hu.

Palmistry expert, Lisa Greenfield, who has read over 10,000 hands, including the hands of Dustin Hoffman, Quentin Tarantino, Ron Livingston, John Stamos, world leaders and royalty, was onsite to share her gift with TrueHeart Events’ guests.  Lisa’s reading for actor Nestor Serrano (“24”) and his wife Debbie, showed that they are a match made in heaven.  Lisa said Nestor and Debbie have one of the most compatible hands for couples she has ever seen.  Nestor’s hand also showed that he’s one of the hardest working men in show business and has the staying power for a lifelong career, which makes sense considering he has been a successful working film, TV and stage actor for over 25 years.Lisa also read the beautiful Kelly Hu (“The Scorpion King”) and her hands showed that she has a magnetic charm that literally draws people and new projects to her as evidenced by her recent star turns in the TV shows “The Vampire Diaries” and “Hawaii Five-O.” www.truthinhand.com

In Hollywood, where looking good is not only an art form but a survival tool of the fittest, Trinity of Youth’s BRILLIANTFx beauty serum is the new secret weapon for sexy, youthful and glowing skin.

Hot Hollywood couple Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe light up every red carpet they are on and both have flawless skin.  They were excited to learn that BRILLIANTFx is an anti-aging product for the body that they can use for shine perfection.  Samantha Harris, host of “Entertainment Tonight”, can’t wait to use BRILLIANTFx as part of her red carpet ready regimen during awards show season.

“Entourage” beauty Constance Zimmer said BRILLIANTFx was a product whose time has come since the market is flooded with skincare products for the face and she has never seen anything like Trinity of Youth’s beauty body serum before.  www.trinityofyouth.com

Bonnie Stern, co-creator of Sex Butter was on hand to debut her organic, chemical-free, hormone-free, paraben-free personal lubricant and enhancement.  Recording artist Ryan Cabrera said “Awesome, I’m going to use it tonight”, when gifted with a Sex Butter pillow pack.

Actor Reid Scott (“The Big C”) said that Sex Butter smells good enough to eat.

Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger and Sex Butter

Patti Stanger, the Millionaire Matchmaker, thought Sex Butter was a cool new product.  While Patti preaches no sex before monogamy on her hit TV show, perhaps she can start gifting Sex Butter to her successful matches once they hit her three-month relationship mark and are ready to take their relationships to the next level. www.sexbutter.net

Lauren Russell, designer and President at LYON Fine Jewelry was on hand to launch her “Equality Bracelet” at the event, which was gifted to celebrity guests in support and celebration of equal rights for the LGBT community.  Twenty percent of the proceeds from each Equality Bracelet will benefit the non-profit Friendfactor.

Guests couldn’t stop talking about how smoking hot the LYON Fine Jewelry campaign designed by Robb Friedman of Tumbleweed Advertising is.  With gorgeous straight and gay couples pictured and the slogan “We Are All Created Equal”, the Equality Bracelet was attracting tons of attention.

Lee DeWyze and LYON Fine Jewelry's Equality Bracelet

“American Idol” Season 9 winner Lee DeWyze came to the suite with his beautiful fiancé Jonna Walsh and was talking about their upcoming nuptials next year.  Since Lee has marriage on his mind, it is the perfect time to rock the Equality Bracelet in support of all of the gay couples around the country who don’t have the same right to marry.

Lee found the bracelet to be a very stylish and a cool way to support the cause, saying “This is the kind of jewelry that I like to wear.”

Ryan Devlin (“Brothers & Sisters”) said he is going to purchase an Equality Bracelet for his wife so they can both wear them and show their support for the campaign.  www.lyonfinejewelry.com/equality
