Nash Has A Bash

NIECY NASH, star of the hit Comedy Central series, Reno 911!, and host of The Style Network’s number-one program, Clean House, celebrated her birthday at a lavish red carpet party last week at the popular Asian-inspired White Lotus restaurant and nightclub in Hollywood. Looking like a real-life version of the famed cartoon character “Jessica Rabbit,” Niecy (pictured with Mehcad Brooks of Desperate Housewives - via Filmmagic) was a sight to behold in a beautiful full-length cherry red dress with a matching red rose in her long, curly black hair. She partied the night away with such celebrity friends as John Salley, Malinda Williams, Kym Whitley, Darius McCrary, Loretta Devine, Angell Conwell, Dorian Gregory, and her fellow TV cast mates. One of the sponsors of the party was Jenny Craig Incorporated. Niecy has lost 40 pounds on the famed weight loss program and credits them for her giving her a “new body!” Look for her this year in the upcoming Reno 911!: Miami, a big-screen spin-off of her hit TV series; and The Cleaner, an action-comedy with Cedric the Entertainer and Lucy Liu.
