Try out for job, spot on TV

LOCAL residents have a shot to score a full-time job and appear on national television -- at the same time.

Freestyle motocross superstar Carey Hart will be at Duke's in Waikiki from 3 to 5 p.m. today, interviewing applicants for the new Oahu home of Hart and Huntington Tattoo Co. Hart's Las Vegas shop is the setting for "Inked," a show that airs on A&E. Along with managers and tattoo artists, he'll be looking for shop helpers to be apprentices. No experience is necessary.

After arriving yesterday, Hart plans to spend the day scouting locations for his shop before heading into Waikiki. No word if wife Pink will be with him, although I'm told he'll be at the Ocean Club tonight ...

CONGRATS TO singer Maila Gibson, who married Kauai native Kelii Bandmann on Saturday. She's taking a break from performing with Ben Vegas and her day job as music sales manager at Aloha Music International to honeymoon in Colorado. The happy couple left today ... I'm disappointed to hear Ryan Chang is out at Venus Lounge. He relinquished his management position last night but is confident about finding a new home soon. I sure hope so ... And what's up with "Refresh" at Brew Moon? Sure, the crowds weren't as big as on Fridays, but I enjoyed listening to DJs Marloca, Revise and Abe1. Too bad the Moon kicked them out a couple of weeks ago ...

RUNNING INTO Jasmine Trias a while back got me wondering what's up with Camile Velasco and Jonah Moananu.

From what I've heard, Velasco cut her ties with Motown Records and is now booking gigs independently. She was here for the Pro Bowl concert earlier this month, and performed with Filipino band Aegis in New Jersey last weekend after shows in California.

Moananu (also known as Mox) has opted to focus on the local market, teaming up with Rukkus Entertainment to appear on "Necessary Rukkus: Volume One." Along with a cover of LeVert's "Casanova" and the beat-jacking track "Roll With You," he shines on "Get Loud." You can see him perform at the O Lounge this week during "R&B Wednesday" ...
