Tony Rock groupies


During his comedy set on Wednesday, Tony Rock mentioned that he gets plenty of women. I figured he was talking smack until I hung out with him and his crew after the show. It was Rock, two of his boys and about five women who tagged along after the show.

I knew it was going to be an interesting night when we were all sitting upstairs in Cosmos and Tony began ordering rounds of Red Headed Sluts, a Jagermeister-based shot. Jager makes you do crazy stuff. And it did on Wednesday.

At the bar, I asked Tony how many of the people in the entourage were his peeps. Only the two guys.
"I move fast," he said.

I had to give him his props. I've seen groupies before, but this little set took it to another level. First, I'm not convinced that I can call them Tony Rock groupies or just celebrity groupies. All I know is that by the time they finished knocking back at least three rounds of Red Headed Sluts the women were more than a little frisky. They danced all over each other, a couple of girls tongued each other down and two others made sure Tony's boys didn't feel left out.

My friends and I watched in amazement. Who knew a couple of pizzas and some shots of liquor could make women do all that.

Can somebody please explain the groupie mentality to me? What exactly do women or men get out of making a fool of themselves for pizza and free drinks?

I simply fail to see any value in very little of this reporter's stuff. I mean, who cares about tagging along with a celeb throwing down shots and watching his entourage lick each other. I read her stuff in an attempt to get it but I don't so I think I'll just skip it from now on. It's a waste of good flexo ink.

I totally disagree. Tonya's stuff is often amusing, often disturbing and always informative. Sure, some people don't want some of that information. Since this other person obviously doesn't, it's a good thing they've decided to stop reading.

Now to the groupie mentality question: I think they get a kick out of being able to say they did scandalous stuff with famous people.
