PASS THE BUBBLY, BUDDY: At BLI Summer Jam, Jason Derulo introduced a new drinking game. Every time the word "swalla" was heard while his current hit of the same name played, a solo cup of Dom had to be chugged. Not bad. (It's 30 times, by the way; we counted). Seen before the Macallan 25-year Jello shots were passed out are (L-R) WFLC PD Jill Strada, Warner Bros. SVP Dave Dyer, WBLI's Syke, Cox's Tim Clark, Derulo and WBLI PD JJ Rice.
JUST A BUNCHA BLANCOS: Hollywood's promo run for new artist Jorge Blanco stalled briefly in Phoenix—where the high is a comfortable 118 degrees today—thanks to flights that were not allowed to leave because it was "too hot to fly." Spotted ready to rise like phoenixes (after swapping some armpit sweat) are KZZP PD Mat Mitchell, JohnJay of the iHeart-syndicated JohnJay & Rich morning show, KZZP MD Reid Spivey, Blanco and Hollywood's DJ Ennis.
GRATEFUL FOR BLENDED BEVERAGES: At the DJ Khaled/Epic-hosted party the night before Miami's iHeart Pool Party, things got "Wild." Just ask Epic SVP Todd Glassman, Z100 PD Mark Medina, Y100 PD Alex Tear, Khaled (whose "Wild Thoughts" just charted at Top 40), KTU PD Rob Miller and Epic EVP Promotion Benny Pough, pictured left to right. Moments after this photo was snapped, Glassman attempted to copy Rihanna's moves from the recently released music video. Unfortunately, he doesn't look quite as good in a sheer, blue babydoll dress.
