Bruno: Next Stop Zippy’s

Bruno Mars, Hawaii’s favorite musical son, gives the islands’ Zippy’s restaurants a sweet boost in the current People magazine. It’s the issue with Jon Bon Jovi on the cover, in the magazine’s summer June 29  issue exploring  favorite food and destinations in the 50 states.

The “Risk It All” singer – and constant chartbuster, as a soloist, as a duet-with-divas,  and a co-star with Anderson. Paak in Silk Sonic — heads straight for Zippy’s when comes home.

So what’s his favorite? It’s the Korean chicken plate. Hmmm, so maybe you’ll see him when you’re in line waiting for your Korean chicken plate, too…   but the People item didn’t list which branch Mars seeks his take-out. Hey, Bruno—the Zippy’s in Kahala has reopened after a three-month renovation….

Lyric’s on ‘Big Brother’

Lyric Medeiros

Another local – and future star –  is singer-actress Lyric Medeiros, one of the featured faces and talents on CBS’ “Big Brother” this summer.  You know her musical father Glenn Medeiros, who became a superstar singer as a youth, when he recorded  “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You.”  Now he’s president of Saint Louis School, but his children – Lyric’s brother’s name is Chord – are  unsurprisingly musically inclined.

Said Mediros: “I told my kids (Lyric and Chord)  growing up that they can reach for any dream they have, but  they first need to attain their education to prepare them for a job that will give them a comfortable life in case their first option does not come to fruition,” said dad Glenn. “Both my kids have done that. In the case of Lyric, her dream has always been to be an actress, She loves to sing and dance but she is an amazing actor. After attaining  both her law degree and MBA,  she is now ready to follow her dream by getting herself out  there for all to see on TV and other forms of forms of media.”

Lyric will be in the show until she gets eliminated…
