GOP Senator Scott Brown throws swanky party featuring his Daughter Ayla Brown and Ace Young

And, if you go to the party, you don’t have to worry about having a good time ruined by the baleful eyes of the unemployed.

“$100 to attend, ” an online flyer for the party notes.

Even those whose benefits will not run out until after the holidays would not likely pay a C-note for an event headlined by “American Idol” stars and national recording artist Ayla Brown and international recording artist Ace Young.

Young’s claim to fame was that he finished seventh in the fifth season of “American Idol.” Ayla Brown only made it to the top 16 women, but she is the senator’s daughter. I wonder if he ever read her “A Christmas Carol” when she was a little one.

Holy Matrimony Shocker! Insiders Spill What’s Next for Glee’s Big Love Triangle

According to multiple sources, John will be shooting at least four more episodes of Glee this season. That could turn into an even longer stay, depending on how fans respond to the upcoming love-triangle story.

The good news for you die-hard fans of Will and Emma? I stand by what I told you in this week’s Spoiler Chat, that there is “Wemma” goodness on the way. Although Carl and Emma will continue to grow closer for a while, her uncertain look over his shoulder last night was not for nothin’. I’m told the current end game is still Will and Emma—it just might take a while to get there. So don’t give up hope just yet.
