MOET GIVES US THE PERFECT EXCUSE TO PARTY IN GLASGOW




CHAMPAGNE is something you normally drink on a very special occasion (unless you're lucky enough to have some on tap like Moet ambassador Scarlett Johansson).
And June 11 aka Moet Party Day was the perfect celebration to try some of the quite literally coolest champagne in the world.


Moet Ice was in abundance in Glasgow's Ashton lane as the champagne house marked the first champagne spray by Le Mans winner Dan Gurney in 1967 when he celebrated his win by impulsively spraying the crowd with his trophy Jeroboam of Moët & Chandon.


Glasgow's Lane Bar joined Edinburgh in being two of the 35 cities worldwide which took part in the festivities.
Later in the evening there was also a part at Corinthian Club with even more bubbles.


The all white party in Ashton Lane came complete with Balearic beats, DJ sets from Shae D and Nick Peacock and live saxophone beats.


Harry Potter and Departed actor David O'Hara was amongst the guests but the Moet was star of the show.
The white ice bottles and glasses were filled with cucumber, grapefruit and mint to set off the taste of the champagne which was slightly sweeter than usual.
It might have been Glasgow but with the outdoor seating, life rings, beach towels and ice buckets, theshowbizlion.com could have been in St Tropez.

WATCH THE LIGHT THAT IS CHRISTINA GRIMMIE ON HER LAST VISIT TO SCOTLAND


The Showbiz Lion was devastated to hear about the death of young US talent Christina Grimmie after meeting with her in Glasgow.
We had the great pleasure of chatting with her when she appeared in Scotland at Glasgow's Garage Club in February last year.
We had a long chat backstage about the ups and downs of her career, the geeky fans she had, and being a female in the music industry.
Christina, 22, who was an Internet sensation and came third in the US series of The Voice was a lovely down to earth girl who was realistic about fame and its trappings.
She was shot dead during a meet and greet with fans after a performance in Orlando, Florida.
Her brother, Marcus, who was with her when she died, shared a heartbreaking statement on Saturday saying Christina was "more than my sister, she was a partner."
We send our love to her family and friends and hope the video above can provide some comfort during this awful time.
