Call it a Grammys afterparty.

Community Inspiring Today’s Youth (CITY) -- a nonprofit that supports and mentors underserved teens and young adults in developing their own small businesses in L.A. -- has booked the Playboy Mansion for its second City Gala Fundraiser, scheduled for Feb. 15, immediately following the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Sir Richard Branson, the billionaire founder of Virgin Group, will deliver the keynote address with former 98 Degrees pop star Jeff Timmons handling hosting duties. The invitation-only, black tie fundraiser will feature live musical entertainment, a charitable poker tournament, tours of the Playboy Mansion grounds, celebrity meet-and-greets and a live silent auction. (With the Playboy Mansion up for sale, it's surely one of the more in-demand locations in town.) Sponsors of the event include JetSmarter and AirVuz.

In a statement, Branson says: “It is my privilege to speak at City Gala 2016 in support of these at-risk young adults that are starting on a similar challenging entrepreneurial path as I did at their age. To see that they are successfully harnessing their potential through City's 46-week micro entrepreneurship program and how they are launching their own start-up businesses, that is a true testament to the brightness that is emerging from this next generation.

City founder and executive director Chandra Stovall, who founded the organization in 2013, adds, “We are beyond honored that Sir Richard Branson is helping us bring awareness to these young budding entrepreneurs and City's business development programs. As one of the worlds most renowned and innovative business leaders, he is the perfect fit to inspire at-risk and underserved youth to take a more directed path in life.”

Funds raised at the charity gala will support City and its non-profit programs for local youth, as well From the Heart Productions, Fire Life Foundation, the Scheer Foundation and Supporting Our Servicemen. Last year's event raised more than $350,000. More details and event information can be found at CityGala.org.

Grammy-nominated pop star Jeff Timmons, the founding member of 98 Degrees, chatted with Digital Journal about his plans for 2016.
When asked to look back on 2015, Timmons revealed that there were many proud moments in his career. "I was able to be a part of some amazing things in 2015. I have some great recorded music that will be released soon. I'm also producing a TV series about drones that will hit the airwaves in July. Being a part of the Dead 7 cast was a dream come true," he said.

Speaking of Dead 7, Timmons noted that that working on the film was a great deal of fun. "It was probably the most fun I've ever had in my entire career. The cast and crew were a complete joy to be around. I was honored," he said.

Timmons' personal resolutions for the New Year 2016 are the same as every year. "Be more patient! Hopefully, I'll achieve that this year," the heartthrob musician said.

Regarding his plans for 2016, he said, "I'm going to be continuing to work in music and TV, and am working on orchestrating an amazing festival."

For his loyal fans, Timmons concluded, "I'm so privileged to have an amazingly loyal fan-base that sticks with me and support me in everything I do. I wish you all a blessed and prosperous new year. All my love!"
