New York, June 19, 2007 – Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos unveiled two new unrelated developments at a party in the New York flagship on Times Square this week. DJ Mark Ronson captured the sound of Hard Rock on a new CD titled Mark Ronson Presents Hard Rock. “They wanted us to help them find the sort of new iconic rock. And that’s what we’ve done here”, he told us.

But Mark is leaving clothing design to his designer sister Charlotte Ronson, and to Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am, who unveiled new uniforms he designed for the Hard Rock staff. “They’re gonna be fresh”, was all that will would say before the fashion show. Staffers will sport the new uniforms when the Hard Rock opens in Biloxi in July, followed by San Diego in October.

Apparently, will.i.am’s band mate Fergie is only shacking up with her man Josh Duhamel – when we asked if he’ll design her wedding dress, will said, “She’s getting married?”
