Magic Johnson was celebrating his new network, ASPIRE, last night at Cipriani’s 42nd St. in New York City. Joined by his wife Cookie, many of his friends also came out to show their support.

ASPIRE will launch with distribution partners Comcast and Time Warner Cable, and will feature a mixture of both original and new programming that will be geared towards African-American viewers.

The long list of celebs who came out included Tika Sumpter, June Ambrose, Russell Simmons, Miss Universe Leila Lopes, Eric Benet, BJ Coleman, Natalie Cole, and model Jessica White.

The daughter of the late great Nat King Cole, has enough stories to tell of her own enormous struggles in life that Tyler Perry could probably make 5 films off of her alone.

Time and time again, Natalie Cole has bounced back from drug addiction, kidney disease, a transplant, three failed marriages and Hepatitis C. In her new book, Love Brought Me Back: A Journey Of Loss and Gain, Natalie shares her wisdom, her triumphs, memories of her father, and her life’s journey.

At 60, Cole is now the spokesperson for the University Kidney Research Organization,
a charity that raises funds and hopes to find a cure for kidney disease.
