Marie Osmond hosts collector birthday bash in Vegas

By Mindy Kinsey

Marie Osmond -- the doll designer, recording artist, Broadway star, author, and mother of eight -- celebrated her 50th birthday on Oct. 9-10, 2009, at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas with 200 of her closest doll pals. A sold-out crowd attended a luncheon birthday bash, which continued into the evening as the crowd attended a packed "Donny & Marie" nightclub show and greeted the debut of Marie's new fashion doll.

The luncheon began with a beautiful video of Marie's life. The real Marie claimed the stage after the dishes had been cleared. She was introduced by Jonathan Roberts, her "Dancing with the Stars" partner, and was clearly delighted by his and other surprise guests' presences. She was presented with numerous official gifts, including a "Kissy" doll that had been her favorite when she was small; her first performance dress framed; a huge collection of hairclips (rumor has it her children steal hers); and a sizeable donation to the Children's Miracle Network, which Marie helped found. Marie read her thanks as an alphabet list of her feelings about turning 50 ("50 is the female 'F' word!") and her appreciation of her friends and family.

Then it was Marie's turn to give gifts, in the form of her 50 favorite items, wrapped and presented to collectors as doorprizes. The eclectic collection of items ranged from Marie's favorite makeup to a box of cereal, books, videos, chocolate, perfume, yarn and knitting needles, an iPod, fabric, items from her new home line, and even a sewing machine. She enthusiastically described the items, encouraging fans to "write this down" so they could pick up the exact right lip gloss, nutritional supplements, or fishnet stockings.

A trio of dancers from the "Donny & Marie" nightclub show wheeled in Marie's extravagant cake and led the singing of "Happy Birthday." While the crowd ate cake, a video of greetings from other celebririties and friends played, delighting Marie with whimsical audio notes from Mary Hart of Entertainment Tonight, the Vegas Chippendales, and even her own staff.

At the end of the luncheon, Marie generously signed dolls and books for two hours before whisking off to prepare for her nightclub act. The theater was crowded with doll fans who cheered Marie enthusiastically during the energetic show, which features music in a variety of genres.

After the show, the crowd gathered at the Flamingo's gift shop, where Marie had promised to pop out of a cake. She did -- or at least, the new fashion doll version of Marie did! Entertainment Tonight was on hand to film as Marie gave away the very first doll and collectors crowded in to buy a limited number of additional dolls from the first release.

The following day, collectors joined the Charisma staff at poolside for fun and games before lining up for a final doll signing with Marie in the gift shop.

Happy birthday, Marie! May we all be as fabulous at 50!

Important Announcement: Marie's 50th Birthday Party

Doll Friends,

We have had a number of inquiries about bringing birthday gifts for Marie to the luncheon. Marie is not expecting gifts and would encourage you to donate a doll to a child in need in lieu of gifts for her. Should anyone choose to bring a gift anyway we will have a place at the luncheon where you can leave them for her.

There will not be an opportunity to give them to her individually. We have a full schedule of fun planned and have not allotted time for personal gift giving. Sorry for any disappointment this may cause you.

Ray Ramano and our own Aisha Together on TV!

Marie Osmond dolls (specifically "Aisha,") will be featured props in a scene in the 5th episode of Men of a Certain Age starring RAY ROMANO, on January 12^th, 10pm TNT!

The scene involves Melissa (Owen's wife, played by LisaGay Hamilton) briefly discussing the dolls with Sonia (Joe's ex-wife, played by Penelope Ann Miller) where she mentions "how cute" they are. I've included a synopsis of the show below.

About MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE

Men Of A Certain Age follows a trio of former college friends; now well into adulthood, whose lives haven't exactly panned out how they dreamed they would. RAY ROMANO stars as JOE: a slightly neurotic, divorced father of two who had aspirations of being a pro-golfer but now owns and runs a party store in the San Fernando Valley. ANDRE BRAUGHER plays OWEN: an overstressed and diabetic husband and father, who is a car salesman at his dad's dealership. SCOTT BAKULA plays TERRY: a single, off-beat struggling actor working part-time at an accounting office. Men Of A Certain Age takes a wry look at these three friends and their unique challenges as they cope with middle age.

DON'T WORRY We'll remind you as it gets closer to watch Aisha's appearance on the show!
