Queen Latifah & The Diamond Collar …

Amici:


Tomorrow (Wednesday) morning, on CBS … THE QUEEN LATIFAH SHOW … James Guiliani appears with the Queen to promote The Diamond Collar …


Hopefully, most of yous already know about The Diamond Collar Premier this Friday night at 10:00 p.m. on the OWN (Oprah) Network. What yous don’t know is this: They will be running back-to-back episodes, starting with “Meet the Family” and then “Grooming 101” immediately afterward. Listen to me: yous gotta watch this show.

 
This is gonna be a dynamite show. James “Head” Giuliani is a former mob enforcer, drug addict and alcoholic whose life was completely transformed by first, Lena Perrelli (his partner/love—the rock of his life), and later by an abused and abandoned Shih Tzu he named Bruno. Lena and James first spotted the dog tied to a parking meter in front of a Brooklyn Veterinarian’s office on 13th Avenue in Brooklyn. The vet refused to help the dog without upfront payment. James and Lena took care of the bill and then took the dog home. What happened afterward is the miracle of redemption.

 
The Diamond Collar is funny (sometimes hilarious), poignant and sobering when one takes into account just how much animals depend on people. Just like infants, they require help, which is why James and Lena consider all their pets and rescues their babies. And who better to help with James’ rescues than the best veterinarian in the world, Dr. Salvatore Pernice (he saved our Rigoletto several years ago when we still lived in Brooklyn).

 
James featured in the Daily News above ... James and Primo below ...
 

James will also be appearing on a few more shows … CBS THE COUCH, GOOD DAY NEW YORK, THE BETTER SHOW HUFFINGTON POST LIVE, and YAHOO'S DAILY SHOT WITH ALI WENTWORTH … and there will be many more in the upcoming weeks.
