Break Into Hollywood with Some Entrepreneurial Spirit

March 1, 2015 By SplashPress

The dream is often to break into the Hollywood scene as an actor, but there are certainly other ways to do it. A-listers have support structures thousands of people deep, and you can be in that line anywhere you want, especially if you have a little bit of entrepreneurial spirit behind you, in order to target your creative efforts and passions toward a successful conclusion. Think about combining the drive you have inside a few other perspective’s, just to jumpstart the brainstorming process.

Fighting for Writing

Writing is everywhere, and not just as in penning the perfect Hollywood script and selling it for a billion dollars. There is advertising writing, promotional writing, entertainment writing, reviewing, proposing, and titling. Add to that, there are a ton of jobs editing that content after it’s written. Breaking into the Hollywood scene via writing is very plausible, with the right education and the right angle. If you want to approach it as an entrepreneur, find a need that is out there and create a business to fulfill it. Satisfy some aspect of the Hollywood culture that needs to be fulfilled, and do it in a way that no one else has thought of before. [Read more…]

Shortest Celebrity Marriages

August 13, 2010 By Jasper

Hollywood is full of gorgeous and talented men and women. Many assume that in this town where they have so much, fairy tales will come true. Happy ever after would actually happen without need of any fairies or fairy godmothers.

Unfortunately that simply isn’t the case. Wealth and beauty do not automatically bring forth the fairy tale ending that many wish for. In fact, Hollywood has some of the shortest weddings.

Here are some of the shortest celebrity marriages Hollywood has ever seen:

Britney Spears takes home the prize for the shortest celebrity wedding. Her marriage to Jason Alexander barely lasted 48 hours. She said she just wanted to try being married. Did she think it was a dress?

After divorcing Sonny Bono, Cher seemed to have a hankering for the married state once again. So she up and married Greg Allman in Las Vegas. After a mere 9 days she called it quits saying that his drug and drinking problems were a bit too much for her.

Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley lasted longer. They made it to 3 months and fifteen days before saying I don’t want to anymore. Lisa Marie later married the former king of pop, Michael Jackson, which lasted 20 months.

The latest couple to file their divorce makes it to the list. After a mere four months, Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock are giving up on wedded bliss. Just goes to show that multiple wedding ceremonies do not equal a more united couple.

Best Hollywood Quotes

June 18, 2010 By Jasper


In line with one of my posts, I’ve found more Hollywood quotes, this time not the worst, but actually so true and, in Madonna’s case – amusing. Oh, and regarding Jennifer’s, only true before you have kids. After that, they win over the hubby in the smell stakes hands down. Fred Allen by the way was an American comedian. He died in the 50’s.

Fred Allen

?A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.?

Lucy Liu

?I try to believe like I believed when I was five… when your heart tells you everything you need to know.?

Jennifer Aniston

“The best smell in the world is that man that you love.?

Madonna

?Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion.?

“I wouldn’t have turned out the way I was if I didn’t have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against.?

?Everyone probably thinks that I’m a raving nymphomaniac, that I have an insatiable sexual appetite, when the truth is I’d rather read a book.?

Elvis Presley

?Look guys, if you’re just going to stare at me, I’m going to bed!?

Flamings Lips And Their “Secret” Hollywood Concert

October 14, 2009 By Jane

flaminglips1_10
Got some free time this Thursday? Rather, do you have all of Thursday free? If so, and if you are a fan of Flaming Lips, get your butt over to Hollywood’s Ricardo Montalbán Theatre, which is near the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. The news is that the band is going to have a FREE concert at 7:30 pm.

There’s some good and some bad here. The good first: the concert is FREE. It is sponsored by MySpace, and they are throwing away the tickets on a first come first served basis. That’s the bad. You know how these things go. Even though the concert is not starting till 7:30 pm, you would have to be there hours earlier to score some tickets.

So why is this gig creating such noise? If you haven’t heard, Flaming Lips has released a new album after so many years. Titled “Embryonic,” the album is getting favorable reviews. This psychedelic band has been in the scene for quite some time now, and while not everyone is into their music, they do have a strong following. Also, a teaser tells us that this will be the band’s last performance till next year. That’s enough reason for fans to make it to Thursday’s concert.

By the way, if you buy the CD at Amoeba, you will also get free tickets. As it was released Tuesday, I don’t know if there are any left. You could go check it out, though. I am sure that beats having to line up early at the venue.
