An Interview with Tanc Sade

Last time we chatted with Tanc Sade, nearly two years ago, he was fresh of off Gilmore Girls, in the midst of producing with his film company, Five Island Films and seeking his next big adventure on the Southern California horizon.

Tanc spared some time for me and we caught up on everything from his acting career, producing and the love of his life, diving. [Read more...]

The 84th #Oscars is such a #FAIL because…

Ugh, Muggles.”

- Lord Voldemort

… Melissa McCarthy can get a Supporting Actress nomination for playing an obnoxious, disgusting, cringe-worthy piece of trash (yes, I said it! and no I’m not taking it back) named Megan Price in Bridesmaids, BUT Alan Rickman (aka international acting royalty) cannot get a nod for his role as Severus Snape, a character who has officially taken its regal place in literary history as a contemporary Byronic and tragic hero like Heathcliff, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II.

Through elementary school I was always mortified when my mom packed my lunch. I never got a peanut butter & jelly sandwich, a bag of chips and a juice box.

Nope.

I was always the kid who had bistec (steak), rice and maduros (fried plantains).

How ethnic! How embarrassing! [Read more...]

Jennifer Lopez: The Beautiful Disaster PR Powerhouse

by Maria Lago; guest blogger

All eyes are on Jennifer Lopez right now!

We are watching her every move, from what she wears on American Idol, to her Gillette Venus commercials with her kids and back on with L’oreal.

Before she was announced as one of the new judges on American Idol last year opposite Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson we weren’t really hearing anything about her besides the random photos of her and husband Marc Anthony with their twins. [Read more...]

Coffee and Crumpets: Catching Up with Jeannie Mai, Host of The Style Network’s “How Do I Look?”

By: Melissa Murphy, guest blogger

I had the chance to catch up with style diva Jeannie Mai, the host of The Style Network’s hit fashion intervention series “How Do I Look?” for a blogger breakfast at the Renaissance Hotel in NYC.

Jeannie was just as fun and spunky as predicated. She told us about moving to LA with only $238 and a dream to be Oprah, shared scoop about the new season of her show, and encouraged us to do what we love, while always helping and empowering others.

“How Do I Look?” is more than just a “makeover” show, Jeannie empowers women to discover [Read more...]

Lost in Translation: MTV’s Skins v the USA

As with Being Human and Coupling, Skins is just another British import our American-television industry has butchered, skinned (no pun intended) and watered-down into fizzled-blah. Yes, I know fizzled-blah isn’t a term, but it works.

The premiere of the US version was Monday January 17, 2011 on MTV and was met with no shortage of critics, naysayers and fans.

Much of which is still vastly apparent a week later, as the Parents Television Council continues to push [Read more...]

MAD WOMEN: PR Is Not Publicity

By: Gini Dietrich, guest blogger

Like Sasha Muradali, I am a huge Mad Men fan.

I love the storyline, the characters, the old days of advertising, the three martini lunches, and the clothes…oh the clothes!

While, I love the series, the first episode of this season really rubbed me the wrong way.

{Spoiler alert: If you’re not yet watching season four, stop reading now!}

If you are, however, caught up and saw the first show of this season, you’ll remember Pete fretting to Peggy about losing the Sugarberry Ham account. [Read more...]

MAD MEN: 7 Reasons To VOTE Me One of the MAD WOMEN

Don Draper

I love Don Draper.

No, not John Hamm (though he’s quite the looker), I love Don Draper.

He is this complex entity that has a handsome exterior laced with a lethal temper, dry wit, savvy wisdom and this keen ability to make the world work for him.

He’s the original AD man; he’s the quintessential of what makes the Mad Men.

About a week ago [Read more...]

After no debate or deliberation, we’ve decided to over-analyze the Mad Men Season Four promo of the cast because we had better things to do but couldn’t help our McDraper Dreaminess needs.

Click to Enlarge, Magnify on Picasa.

This serves no purpose other than to let out our yearning to talk about one of our favourite shows, that we’ve waited a year to bloody see.

So *yay!* and a big *le squeee* [Read more...]

{ADbitious} The Future Has Been Written, Just Not By Nike

Nike - The Future Has Been Written

Prior to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, sporting goods giant Nike, released a string of advertisements centered around something they called “Write the Future.”

It was more like Write the Fail, because it fell short, in more ways than one, regardless of its exceptional filming, A-List cast of footballers and truly inspirational message.

With the release of  “The Future Has Been Written,” two weeks after the 2010 World Cup Final that Spain won against the Netherlands, it seems like the brand is trying to reestablish itself – except it’s quite hypocritical. [Read more...]
