VINCE NEIL On Food TV

MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman VINCE NEIL will make two appearances at the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival, February 22nd to 25th.

On Sunday, February 25th at 2pm, Neil himself will preside over the bar along with Francesco Lafranconi, founder and director of Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada's Academy of Spirits in the step by step concoction of everybody's favorite frozen cocktail.

Neil will initiate margarita lovers in the art of making the perfect "Rita", blended with his own Tres Rios tequila, the outcome of a dedicated search by Neil for the purest 100% agave nectar, which he found flourishing at the juncture of three rivers in Mexico.

Later that afternoon at the Publix Grand Tasting Village, Neil will open the Delta Live Auction tailored to the ultimate Vince Neil fan. Up for bids is one case of signed bottles of Vince Neil's Tres Rios Tequila, two first class tickets on Delta Airlines to Las Vegas, a "sweet" suite at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas with all accommodations for two, a personal invitation from Vince to have drinks with him in person at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, dinner at the RIO at Café Martorano and a Vince Neil personally autographed guitar. Bidding begins online at www.sobeauction.cmarket.com and carries over to the Delta Live Auction on Sunday, February 25th.

Tasting Neil's perfect Rita is just one opportunity from the compendium of spirit-oriented events at this year's Food Network South Beach Food & Wine Festival. Held at the South Beach Marriott throughout the weekend are four interactive cocktail clinics focusing on creative cocktails, such as an intensive on "muddled" drinks such as caipirinhas and mojitos, a refresher on classic cocktails, and a return to sexy libations perfumed with rose essence. These cocktail clinics sessions are all hands-on, and led by master mixologists Tony Abou-Ganim and Francesco Lafranconi, both winners of cocktail competitions.

VINCE NEIL Announces 11th Annual Skylar Neil Memorial Golf Tournament

MÖTLEY CRÜE vocalist VINCE NEIL has issued the following press release:

"Several of my favorite Girls Girls Girls and I are getting ready for my 11th Annual Skylar Neil Memorial Golf Tournament, being held on Friday, May 4th, 2007, at Lost Canyons Golf Club in Simi Valley, CA. This year is going to be our biggest and wildest tournament ever, as we're taking over both 18-hole courses, making it an exclusive and private affair for all!

However, with all of our new 2007 sponsors and tournament regulars already signed up, we only have a handful of sponsorships and foursomes remaining. And who better to offer them to than you, the best fans in the world! So if you're interested in participating please visit our tournament website at www.skylarneil.org/golf, and download our sponsorship and player registration forms.

Unfortunately, the golf course will not allow spectators on the course, so the only way to be a part of the event is to sponsor or play. And don't delay! Individual and team entries are reserved with payment only, on a first come first served basis!

As many of you know, in 1995 I lost my daughter Skylar to cancer. Since that time I have endeavored to do everything I can to help raise awareness and much needed funding for children's illnesses. My Skylar Neil Memorial Foundation has donated over a million dollars to The T.J. Martell Foundation, a wonderful organization dedicated to important Cancer, Leukemia and AIDS research.

I'm so proud of all that we have achieved over the last decade. We've been extremely fortunate to have corporations like Budweiser, Thrifty Car-Rental, Kingworld Entertainment, Eagle Auto Warranty, The Palms Hotel & Casino, Quality One Wireless and ESP Guitars provide us with generous financial contributions. Companies like Red Bull, Crocs Shoes, Jagermeister, Taylor Made, Ray Ban, Callaway Golf, EA Sports, and more have donated some great product for our gift bags and prizes. Others like Playboy, Hooters, Hawaiian Tropic, Vivid Video, Wicked Pictures, Red Light District and Zero Tolerance have even gone as far as to send out a few "company reps" to greet our golfers, making the day quite enjoyable!

Obviously this is a cause that is near and dear to my heart, so I hope that you will find it in yours to become a part of The 11th Annual Skylar Neil Memorial Golf Tournament. Thanks!

- Vince Neil"

Attendees can look forward to seeing the legendary heavy metal icon at the finals of the upcoming Dallas, Texas event, July 5-8 at the Gaylord Texan Resort. Spike TV host Geoff Keighley and PC GameSpy.com's editor-in-chief Sal "Sluggo" Accardo will assist Vince Neil with the judging. Additional judges for later events will be announced at a later date.

"We are committed to creating a video game tournament that is as fun for spectators as it is for participants. Our new judging format will help deliver the same immediacy and fun to Guitar Hero II competition as some of the most highly-watched music shows on television."

At each event, the judges will score competitors based on accuracy, difficulty and in an interesting twist, showmanship! All areas of performances will be evaluated; from the ability to work the crowd, put together a unique and thought-out set and the precision of strumming and ripping.

TMZ reports that Neil recently said of the tragic accident, "I don't endorse drinking and driving. I endorse driving responsibly. I made a tragic mistake that cost one of my dear friends his life."

On June 30th, 2006, Neil fell off the stage while performing in Tampa, Florida while performing drunk.

Neil's tequila, called Tres Rios, comes in Silver, Anejo and Reposado varieties.
