Percy Carey: MAYHEM! Party Pics & Tyrese Marvel Rumors
TEAM MAYHEM! Creators Tone Rodriguez, Mike Le, William Wilson, and Tyrese Gibson with Percy Carey
[Each week, Complex columnist Percy Carey a.k.a. MF Grimm dives into the world of comic books with industry interviews, reviews and more. All MF Grimm music can now be purchased on Itunes]
Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m going to keep it short this week because I’m still recuperating from the Tyrese Gibson’s MAYHEM! launch party. Tyrese, you are the muthafuckin’ man! It was an amazing event filled with celebrities, great people, beautiful women all around and good food and (did I forget to say beautiful women all around?) I kicked it with the MAYHEM! creators Tyrese Gibson, Mike Le, William Wilson and the legendary Mr. Tone Rodriguez at Lucky Strike (LA Live). I even had an opportunity to sit down one on one with my friend, director/executive producer Micheal Bay (Transformers 1 and 2).
I won’t lie to you, I was suppose to cover the event, but I was too busy being interviewed by the press and partying. I let you down, Complex readers (blame it on the alcohol), but in my defense, you have not partied until you’ve hung out with Tila Tequila and ElectrikRed (I just couldn’t help myself…could you?). Tyrese, you sure know how to throw a party, my brother!. I can’t wait for the Tyrese Gibson’s MAYHEM! party at San Diego Comic Con JULY 2009—it’s going to be off the chain. Now, readers, although I was slacking because of macking, I still didn’t forget you (we’re family): I have some wonderful shots from the event for you to check out. Enjoy…
P.S.: Tila, if you’re reading this, I’ll see you and your “Army” at San Diego Comic Con. Thanks for the goodbye kiss ; )

RELATED RUMOR ALERT!!
There’s rumors brewing about a meeting between Avi Arad and Tyrese Gibson at a trendy LA eatery named Cecconis on Monday. Well, here is the PROOF! I just obtained these photos of Mr Gibson and Mr. Arad (an a unidentified guest) leaving the restaurant from www.humormillmag.com. It’s assumed the dinner meeting was about Mr. Gibson playing as Luke Cage or Black Panther and there’s some rumbling of him being courted to create a comic book for MARVEL. I’m not sure what was exactly said yet, but I will personally contact www.humormill.mag, since they were on the scene and see what I can get for you. If anyone get updates, please post them here. Thank you.

Raynika April 30, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Looks interesting….. I am not a comic book reader, why should I invest my time in this? What does it have for us newbie comic readers?
reggaegirlyve April 30, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Question…the pics are of celebs mainly, where are the pics of a few of Tyrese’s twitter followers – the regular folks – were none taken?
Yira9 April 30, 2009 at 5:13 pm
Congratulations, God bless this new project!!!
Donna April 30, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Interesting…where’s this going to take you? Please don’t leave acting. Not a comic fan but you’ve got my support!!! CONGRATULATIONS :-)
lyhazard April 30, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Mr. Tyrese- With all due respect “Ability may take you to the top, but it takes character to stay there.” Don’t lose your character and forget who you are and how you came to be. Of course, there’s going to be expected challenges. Just make sure you come through as pure Gold (Or Platinum, if you prefer).
GOLDSUCCESS April 30, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Wish that I could have been there. Hatin’ BIGTIME!
But I always support Tyrese and his crew. Goodluck with MAYHEM. He fine ya know!
SPLEEN April 30, 2009 at 8:28 pm
