Wed, 7 Mar 2012 18:08:38 -0500

Syfy Network’s Monster Man stars Cleve Hall and Roy Knyrim and recording star Walter Egan join us in this fun, playful, and hilarious episode of The Jimmy Star Show. You’ll hear great behind the scenes ideas from the industry’s best!

The Monster Man original Syfy network television series goes behind the scenes of one of Hollywood’s most respected monster prop building workshops. For more than thirty years, when studios want a bizarre creature or out-of-this world alien, they’ve turned to Cleve Hall and his very unique family business. Only the horrifying monsters they build match the craziness of this extremely talented family.

Monster Man follows Cleve Hall, his daughters Constance and Elora Hall, his ex-wife Sonja Maddox-Hall, best friends Roy Knyrim and Johnny Saiko, as well as office manager Cindy Miller, as they bring the movie world’s most imaginative creatures to life.

Cleve Hall has been in the prop design game since he was a teenager. Monsters are his specialty, which fits the personality of a man who dresses in all black and drives a hearse. Hall has created masterpieces for countless big budget flicks for Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks, Warner Bros and Disney, including favorites How to Train Your Dragon, Syfy orinial movie Sharktopus, Ed Wood and Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, where Cleve was able to fulfill a life long dream of building a Godzilla costume and even playing the famous creature himself. Hall has also lent his talent to numerous television programs including Yo Gabba Gabba, for which he received an Emmy nomination. Additionally, he has worked with rock bands including KISS, creating Gene Simmons’ Demon Armor, as well as Insane Clown Posse, Alice Cooper, Tenacious D and DEVO.

Roy Knyrim is the owner and boss of the shop. Having worked together for over 15 years, Roy and Cleve have a unique working relationship. Even though they are close friends, they butt heads on a daily basis. Where Cleve is a creative spirit, Roy is a businessman with a Type A personality and temper to match.

Roy is the founder of SOTA F/X along with partner Jerry Macaluso. During this period, they worked on hundreds of productions, some of which are: The Abyss, Ed Wood, Weird Science, Gods and Monsters, and the Profiler TV series.

Having achieved success in the FX industry Roy was eager to try creating his own shows. In 1999 he created Matthew Blackheart: Monster Smasher, which was sold to the Syfy Channel. In the fall of 2001, Roy directed Demons at the Door, his first full-length feature. He spent the majority of 2002 working with Psychopathic Records and The Insane Clown Posse, directing their commercial for the The Wraith album (which aired on MTV), various live concert videos, and their JCW wrestling Home Videos. This led to 2003, when Psychopathic Records hired Roy and SOTA to produce and direct legendary Detroit rapper Esham’s “Woo Woo Woo Woo,” which aired in rotation on BET and MTV 2.

Egan also wrote Hearts on Fire, which was covered by Gram Parsons on his album Grievous Angel, and Hot Summer Nights, which was the first hit for the band Night, which included such session musicians as Nicky Hopkins (who played piano with Egan on later albums) and Robbie McIntosh. Egan scored minor hits with his own version of Hot Summer Nights, as well as Only the Lucky and Fool Moon Fire. Egan is listed as co-writer on the Eminem hit We Made You.

Suzerain and Tim Sullivan and Mechanical People on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:00:56 -0500

London band Suzerain, director Tim Sullivan, and band Mechanical People join us in this fun, playful, and hilarious episode of The Jimmy Star Show. You’ll hear great behind the scenes ideas from the industry’s best!

Suzerain is a five piece London-based band who formed five years ago because “no one was playing the music we wanted to hear, intense electro-rock-punk-pop by a band that gives a damn. Or something like that….” Suzerain is Thomas Pether (Vocals), Rich Summers (Guitar), Mike Smith (Bass Guitar), Matt Constantine (Keyboards & Cello), and Ben Howe (Drums).

Suzerain’s music is about love, pain, dreams, politics, individuality and bad faith. They’ve earned themselves a great reputation as a fearsome live band playing to massive crowds (Hyde Park & Trafalgar Square) as well as dedicated smaller ones on the classic UK circuit. Recently Suzerain has also been playing to crowds in Europe in Italy, Sicily and Germany, including the NRJ festival in Munich alongside Franz Ferdinand and Mando Diao, and the Reeperbahn Festival at the old Beatles Haunt – The Kaiser Keller, where the power blew mid set. “I tried to keep singing in the dark and the audience all held up their lighters- it was so cool,” says lead singer Thomas Penther.

Signed to Spectra Records, Suzerain’s debut album Midnight in the Drawn City will be released this year in North America and the UK with tours to support the record. Midnight in the Drawn City enlists the production talent of Steve Lyon (The Cure, Siouxsie Sioux and Depeche Mode) and critical reviews describe it as “High Octane New Wave rock delivered with aplomb” (Subba-Cultcha) and say, “This band deserve to be absolute stars” (Artrocker).

Tim Sullivan is an American writer, director and producer known for a wide variety of modern horror films, including most recently Chillerama (2011), the cult favorite 2001 Maniacs (2005) and its popular follow-up, Field of Screams (2010). Tim Sullivan began his career as a New Jersey teenager pumping fake blood for 80’s splatter classic The Deadly Spawn (1983). Sullivan moved to Los Angeles where he worked in development at New Line Cinema, co-producing Detroit Rock City (1999).

With a directing style ranging from the ‘splatstick’ nature of the Maniacs franchise to the serious bent of teen thriller Driftwood (2007), Sullivan gained additional notoriety as celebrity director of Vh1′s hit series Scream Queens (2010) as well as creator and host of Shock N Roll, his weekly talk and video blog on leading web network Fearnet.com. Recently re-joining forces with Detroit Rock City director Adam Rifkin for the comedy/horror anthology Chillerama, Sullivan contributed the musical segment I Was a Teenage Werebear, embracing his passion for camp and rock and roll.

An homage to the drive-in movies of the 50’s and 60’s, Chillerama is a comedy-horror anthology comprised of four vignettes from some of contemporary horror’s biggest filmmakers. A funny, subversive spoof of the Eisenhower/ Kennedy-era beach movies, Sullivan’s I Was A Teenage Werebear follows a day in the life of closeted new kid “Ricky O’Reilly” (played by Sean Paul Lockhart, aka adult film superstar Brent Corrigan) who falls for Malibu High’s mysterious bad boy “Talon” (Anton Troy). When aroused, the two transform into bestial leather daddies, the titular werebears.

The film features five rock ‘n roll musical numbers that spin the frothy boy/girl/beach format into a humorously bloody, albeit well-intentioned, call for acceptance and tolerance, and its popularity has lead to the official release of the original soundtrack on BuySoundtrax Records. Chillerama: I Was A Teenage Werebear – The Original Soundtrack features 12 songs and score performed by PsychoCharger, Briana Nadeau, Bobby Vinton, Robert Vinton, and cast members Sean Paul Lockhart, Gabby West and Anton Troy. The album will be available both as a special limited edition CD and as a digital download on February 14, 2012.

“One of the pleasures making I Was A Teenage Werebear,” described Sullivan, “was the independence it allowed me to simply be me. And that meant coming out of the closet as an admitted fan of movie musicals as well as movie monsters. So taking a page from Rocky Horror and Hairspray, I channeled my inner American Graffiti and Grease and dashed out some ditties I hoped combined camp and cool.” Fans have revelled in the project, and due to more demand a full-length musical stage version is set to debut in Los Angeles in September of 2012, with stars Sean Paul Lockhart and Anton Troy set to reprise their roles.

The IMDB site for Tim Sullivan may be found at: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0838374/

Mechanical People is an American indie rock band begun in 2011 which quickly earned critical acclaim with their first single, Skyscraper. Mechanical People is Jacob Miller, Ben Johnson and Ben Graupner, of which the last two are also bandmates in another musical project, the famed 100 Monkeys.

Mechanical People’s debut album The Dark Dark is available and the band is currently touring the USA West Coast. Their fresh sound has already spread internationally, being especially well-regarded in Europe and Japan.

Mechanical People will start presale on their new EP entitled Faith in the Will on February 14, 2012.

Director Tom Holland, actor Josh Hammond, and songstress Champian Fulton join us in this fun, playful, and hilarious episode of The Jimmy Star Show. You’ll hear great behind the scenes ideas from the industry’s best!

Tom Holland is an American director and screenwriter of horror and thriller films. His early writing projects include Class of 1984 (1982) and the Robert Bloch- inspired Psycho II (1983), the latter starring Anthony Perkins as the menacing psychopath, Norman Bates.
Tom Holland’s directorial debut was the popular 1980s Vampire film, Fright Night (1985) which he also wrote and is said to have been responsible for redefining the sub-genre, influencing later films like The Lost Boys (1987) and Near Dark (1987). The film was a box office hit and garnered three Saturn Awards and one Dario Argento Award.

For his next project, Child’s Play (1988), Tom again cast Chris Sarandon. The film was a Number One box-office hit in America and a worldwide success, despite controversy over its thematic content. It, like Fright Night (1985) has since gathered a cult following amongst horror fans. Tom then went onto direct two films based upon adaptations of Stephen King’s novels: The Langoliers (1995) and Thinner (1996). He also took a cameo role in the Stephen King miniseries The Stand (1994).

Tom’s other projects have included The Incredible Hulk episode ‘Another Path’, Steven Spielberg’s ”Amazing Stories” (1985), three episodes of ”Tales from the Crypt” (1989), and the prestigious ”Masters of Horror” (2005) anthology. He starred in A Walk in the Spring Rain (1970) with Ingrid Bergman.
Tom recently acted as ‘Tom’ in Hatchet II (2010) alongside Kane Hodder and Tony Todd.

Josh Hammond is a successful American film and television actor who is best known for his work in Jeepers Creepers II. This multi-talented Los Angeles resident has expanded his talents to include producing and starring in his latest film, Agua Caliente.

In 2002, Josh’s career was forever changed when Victor Salva asked him to join the cast of Jeepers Creepers II. After this venture, Josh took on lead roles in the 2003 films, Black Cadillac and Time Cop: The Berlin Decision. Also in 2003, Josh appeared in guest star spots on Dawson’s Creek and What I Like About You.

After 2003, Josh continued to appear in guest spots for the biggest shows on television, including CSI: NY, Las Vegas, and Scrubs. Josh’s film acting resume has also expanded to include The Tripper, Dead Tone, A Lure: Teen Fight Club, and as voice talent for the animated film, Noah’s Ark: The New Beginning. Josh has also appeared in over 50 episodes of HGTV’s Saturday morning series, Over Your Head.

Josh Hammond’s most recent venture is Agua Caliente; a comedy that Josh produced, co-wrote, and starred in. Josh plays ‘Lake Palmer’ in the film about a group of four colorful characters embarking on a journey, which was supposed to include the filming of dramatic feature film, ‘Breaking the Wind’. Instead, they spend the entire film’s budget on a crazy, drug and booze infested night on the town. Fearing repercussions from the mobster that lent the funds, they come up with a hysterical plan: to film a horror movie, using unsuspecting guests of a Halloween birthday party.

Additional current projects include Bill McAdams Jr.’s Gallows Road, Anthony Pereira’s American Girls, and Leigh Scott’s The Slaughter House. Josh and Leigh Scott have also teamed up for White House Party, a mockumentary about running for the 2012 presidential campaign.

Sheli Stevens is a Canadian singer known for her wistful pop recordings that also feature touches of folk and country sensibilities. Sheli Stevens is currently breaking into the USA market with her hit debut album, Come Home, released on the Mighty Music label.

Combining the languid vocals of an Aimee Mann with the day dreaminess of a Norah Jones and the emotional maturity of a Carole King, Sheli Stevens is making pop meaningful once again. ”I grew up listening to some of the great singer/songwriters like …James Taylor and Joni Mitchell, so I needed to have songs which were first and foremost strong, and would stand up with just a single voice and piano, or guitar, or whatever,” says Sheli of her debut album Come Home.

Come Home was written by writer and producer Eric Dick and features 11 story-telling songs, with the first single being Still The One. “Still The One” is a sweetly happy proclamation of love and gratitude and its music video features a centered and radiant Sheli outdoors where she feels most at home. ”My parents (who were both musicians) taught me to always be creative, while life on the (raspberry) farm taught me to build a strong relationship with nature. It’s no wonder that today I’m a singer who cares so deeply about our environment.”

Sheli Stevens’ album is now available at online retailers and at her official site.

Formed in Toronto on a stormy winter’s night in 2005, the band didn’t totally evolve until the fortunate collision of three East Coast souls. Though founded by New Brunswick native singer/songwriter Brent Lunney, it wasn’t until a couple years after the initial creation of The Apollo Effect when guitarist Shawn Van de Sande arrived from Nova Scotia that the evolutionary process of the band began. Two years later another New Brunswick native, bassist Jason Harvey appeared and the heart of the group was established.

The Apollo Effect is the product of a staggering series of hardships, cerebral analysis and lessons learned. Despite such ridiculous experiences, TAE’s music remains uplifting and inspirational in anthemic proportions. In September 2007, The Apollo Effect defeated over of 400 other acts from across Canada to win The Great Canadian Band Challenge; and their much talked about showcase performance at 2009’s East Coast Music Awards ignited a buzz for this U.K. influenced band. TAE has performed special events with piers such as Our Lady Peace, Finger Eleven, The Trews, Die Mannequin and The Arkells. They also support and have donated their talents to important foundations such as War Child, the Canadian Cancer Society and Sick Kids Hospital. Their first full-length CD titled Antisocial Disorder was released last year on Spectra Records.

Currently the band is the studio crafting their second full length disc due in April/May of this year. The Apollo Effect’s new album Escape Plan will be out in April of 2012 on Spectra Records and followed by a summer tour.

Bernie Larsen’s new solo recording Out of Reach is a sparse soulful reflection of life’s changes and the questions that arise from the beauty and pain caused by the risk of feeling. Heart-enveloping songs like “Searching Soul” “Believe in Love” and “Doubt of Your Touch” find Larsen’s seasoned voice providing an axis point marking the crossroads of the melancholy soul of Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood while displaying flourishes of the lilting falsetto of Ben Harper.

The resulting record is one that Reggae Beat Magazine called “…rock-solid reggae as crisp and bright as anything on the Harder They Come soundtrack…a Tour de Force.”

Bookending his recorded chapters, Bernie finds time to compose music for independent films having had music used in Friends With Money starring Catherine Keener, Jason Isaacs, Scott Caan and Jennifer Aniston and Elsewherestarring Oscar-nominated actress Anna Kendrick.

In addition to gigging around the world, writing and recording, Larsen has produced over 120 albums, many of which have been released via his Spinout Records imprint. Recent production work includes the sublime album Shine by L.A. singer-songwriter Maureen Toth and Wreck and the Mess by Marquette, MI native Scotty Alan.

Trash aka Chris Bright is an American actor, comedian, musician and rock frontman self-described as a “Walking Reality Show.” His self-titled band Trash was famous in Florida for combining real rock ‘n’ roll with comedy, offering fans an alternative to the goth and industrial bands that were ever present at the time. Trash’s rock single “Lollipop” and subsequent music video depicting suggestive lollipop licking proved an internet smash and vehicle to land him on Comedy Central’s 2008 revival of “The Gong Show” with host comedian Dave Attell. After the success of that appearance and offers that followed, Trash relocated to Los Angeles.

Currently Trash is starring in “Rock N Roll Encore” documenting his personal lifelong quest to bring rock ‘n’ roll back to the stage and the VH1 network. He recently decided to revive a commercial concept band begun in 2007 currently dubbed “Swift Delivery” along the lines of ”The Monkees” and “Spinal Tap” after booking a FedEx commercial with Sean McNabb of Dokken and incredible vocalist Scotty Dickert. Swift Delivery has just appeared on NBC’s “Community” television series for the “Regional Holiday Music” episode, and with the addition of drummer Mike Dupke of WASP, the band continues to find a niche in television, film and commercials.

Scotty Alan is an American singer songwriter who used to be a punk rocker. This underlying edge and adeptness at delivering emotional immediacy in as few as 84 seconds resides at the core of his remarkable new album Wreck and the Mess.

It’s not necessarily that Scotty Alan has mellowed; his music and lyrics, with raspy and expressive vocals, are still bright with energy, still darkly funny at times. But with a fresh rootsy, countrified sound comes a heightened awareness, and an emotional outlook tested and tempered by experience.

The album’s 15 songs, clocking in at 45 minutes, were produced by Bernie Larsen (Lucinda Williams, Melissa Etheridge, Rickie Lee Jones, Jackson Browne, El Rayo-X) and arranged in narrative sequence, reflecting on a relationship gone bad. Wreck and the Mess is a congruous batch of meticulously crafted songs that provide an unflinching but always humane look at the difficulty of a love lost.

Dieter Laser and Anison and Toxin on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 7 Dec 2011 15:00:58 -0500

Actor Dieter Laser, band Anison, and frontman Jason Kloos of Toxin join us in this fun, playful and international episode of The Jimmy Star Show. You’ll hear great ideas from the industry’s best!

Dieter Laser is a German actor well known internationally most recently for his performance as the infamous Dr. Heiter in Tom Six‘s The Human Centipede film. Dieter Laser has enjoyed a long and highly successful career, appearing on the most important stages of German language, and starring in 65 films and television shows.

Dieter Laser began acting in the theater with roles such as Macbeth, Don Juan, Peer Gynt, Valmont, and Captain Ahab. His first film work was the title role of John Glueckstadt in 1975, for which he won the German Film Award in Gold. He has worked opposite fellow greats Burt Lancaster and Julie Christie (Fathers and Sons), Glenn Close (Meeting Venus), John Malkovich (The Ogre), as well as Oscar nominated films (The Glass Cell) and popular television series (LEXX).

His latest work in The Human Centipede film involves the idea of an individual pursuing an intense fantasy to connect people surgically via their gastric systems to form a human centipede. The Human Centipede (First Sequence) features Dieter Laser as the organized and methodical “Doctor Heiter” and actors Ashley C. Williams (“Lindsay”), Ashlynn Yennie (“Jenny”), and Akihiro Kitamura (“Katsuro”) as his victims. The Human Centipede’s self-aware second installment (Full Sequence) features actor Laurence Harvey as the troubled worshipper of the first film who idolizes Doctor Heiter, and in an ingenious twist, brings back actress Ashlynn Yennie to play herself as the actress cast as “Jenny” in the first film. Tom Six wrote and directed both films, and produced them with his sister, fellow producer and talent manager, Ilona Six.

The mere mention of the films’ subject matter has polarized people. The films have received rave reviews and critical acclaim by audiences, as well as intense scorn and disdain by moralist groups, causing quite the media frenzy. The sequel was banned in the UK for a time although it is now available in the UK as well as the US. The films are already an art and cult classic in the United States, and have won several awards on the film festival circuit, with Dieter Laser rightly winning for Best Actor at the Austin Fantastic Fest festival, and being nominated for Best Villain at the Scream Awards festival.

Anison is a new rock band from London, England quickly gaining acclaim in the United Kingdom and beyond. Their synth and guitar heavy magic dazzles with its melancholic depth, and makes one swoon at its simplicity. Anison is Daniel Frau on vocals and guitar, Rory Doherty on guitar, Rocky Wadhawan on bass, and Jerome Foreman on drums.

Anison’s singles Spatial Awareness and The Colour Red have been playlisted by XFM and featured by BBC6 Music, and the band has enjoyed slots on Radio 1. The band recently signed to Spectra Records in the USA and its video for Sail Back to Sleep was added to the NME TV playlist. Anison just completed their first mini-tour of the USA including performances in New York and Chicago and are set to release their debut album Memory Flashes in 2012.

The Toxin band is a new young rock band born out of Long Island New York that is quickly gaining acclaim for bringing bold attitude beyond their years back to the rock genre. Lead vocalist Jason Kloos formed the band with keyboardist Matt Hulse with the idea to turn a dying music industry around. They recruited Ross Medico on guitar, Joe Gigante on bass and Brian Maldonado on drums. Together the five have brought back the fist pumping rock anthem along with plenty of sex appeal, rock god looks, and stadium performance antics to wake up audiences around the world.

Singles like Stand Up (featuring a cameo by Dee Snider), Nasty But I Like It, and Times Of Our Lives, have garnered industry attention and won the respect of rock pros like Brett Michaels who had Toxin open for his Roses and Thorns US tour saying, “It’s not always easy to find…an original band that has enough solid material to entertain a crowd of die hard fans,” continuing with “These kids have something!” Toxin has also shared the stage with Twisted Sister and earned their devoted fanbase touring live, performing at the leading rock venues in the world.

Toxin has recently released their debut album entitled Skindependence is currently touring.

Garrigan is an American band from Charlotte, North Carolina formed by singer and guitarist Jay Garrigan and drummist Shawn Lynch. The two had played together for over eleven years, and became familiar with the trials of many touring bands while they were in Charlotte NC’s indie rock outfit Poprocket.

Jay and Shawn met both CR Rollyson and Jason Atkins through the annual Fools Brigade benefit concert, where some of the best players of original music in Charlotte get together and play an annual concert for charity. Around the time of the 7th annual Fools Brigade, Spectra Records signed Jay Garrigan to a record deal based on his catchy, weird songs. Shawn and Jay quickly recruited CR and Jason, and four practices later, the Garrigan band was playing live shows.

Mark Lynch soon joined to fill the bottom-end. Many say that Mark was the missing link in the Garrigan line-up, with drummist Shawn having spent both a decade with Mark and Jay in separate bands. Mark and Shawn Lynch (no relation) both were founding members of alt-country legends Lou Ford. Mark has the been the cornerstone of many rock bands over the years, either as a bassist or producer, and has been a roadie for bands like REM.

Mike Garrigan, an acclaimed songwriter, producer, performer and brother of Jay Garrigan has also joined the group as a bassist. Jay has been recording and writing with Mike, so it only made sense to him that Mike also joined the band. Historically speaking, Mike Garrigan is best known as the former frontman of the rock band Collapsis, which, in 2000, reached the #28 slot on the Billboard Modern Rock charts with the hit song “Automatic”. He was also the second and final lead guitarist for the North Carolina-based band Athenaeum.

Garrigan’s album Deep Sea Wishing is currently available through Spectra Records as well as iTunes, Amazon, and national online retailers. The band is currently recording their upcoming album entitled Kiss This Broken Star which will release in January of 2011. Garrigan recently appeared on a compilation tribute to The Monkees called Stepping Stone, covering the Monkees song Last Train to Clarksville, as well as a compilation tribute to the Rolling Stones, called Shattered, covering Emotional Rescue.

Brian O'Halloran and The Hitchers and Irwin Keyes on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:00:16 -0500

Actor Brian O’Halloran, rock punk band The Hitchers, and actor Irwin Keyes join us in this fun and playful episode of The Jimmy Star Show. Tune in for great ideas from the industry’s best!

Brian O’Halloran is an American actor perhaps best known for his starring roles as “Dante Hicks” in Kevin Smith‘s debut film Clerks and its 2006 sequel, Clerks II. He has also appeared in most of Smith’s films, either as character Dante Hicks or one of Dante’s cousins.

In 2000 Brian O’Halloran starred in the daring film Vulgar, in a role especially written for him. In Vulgar, Brian O’Halloran plays a children’s birthday party clown who tries to piece his life back together after being gang-raped. Vulgar was written and directed by Bryan Johnson and produced by Kevin Smith.

Brian O’Halloran is also an accomplished theatre actor, working with the Boomerang Theatre Company, the New Jersey Repertory Company and the Tri-State Actors Theatre, among others. Brian O’Halloran’s current film projects include Flea, Cry for Revenge, and Keeper of the Pinstripes, all in various stages of production.

The Hitchers are a rock band hailing from Middlesbrough, England known for their own style of punk infused 50s rock ‘n’ roll. Capturing the infectious buzz of punk rock with the fun and style of the 1950s classic American rock ‘n’ roll years, and dispensing the results in short, melodic bursts of energy, The Hitchers are bringing live energy back to music to rave reviews.

The Hitchers have been a touring band for over five years, also touring internationally in Canada, Germany, and the USA including being a part of the Vans Warped Tour. The Hitchers have just signed a multi-record deal in the United States with Spectra Records. Their latest release is entitled Tees Valley Deadbeats, and has just been released in stores worldwide. The Hitchers have been inspired over the years by the likes of The Stray Cats, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, 7 Seconds, Descendents, The Cramps, The Living End and on occasion, Cyndi Lauper.

A USA tour for The Hitchers is currently being planned for 2012. Their first single Berwick Hills 90210 is gaining a fantastic amount of radio airplay all the way from England’s BBC to Seattle’s rock stations.

Irwin Keyes is an American actor who has appeared in over 80 films and television shows. Frequently cast as likable lugs, brutish goons, and imposing authority figures, Irwin Keyes has acted in a diverse array of movies in such genres as horror (Friday the 13th, Guilty as Charged, House of 1000 Corpses), comedy (The Private Eyes, Zapped!, Intolerable Cruelty), thriller (Dream Lover), science fiction (both Oblivion pictures), and action (The Warriors, The Exterminator and its sequel).

Irwin Keyes achieved his greatest enduring popularity with his recurring role as endearingly oafish bodyguard “Hugo Majelewski” on the hit sitcom The Jeffersons, as “Ravelli” in Rob Zombie‘s House of 100o Corpses, and as the hilarious “Wheezy Joe” in Intolerable Cruelty acting opposite George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Among the TV shows Irwin has made guest appearances on are Laverne & Shirley, Police Squad!, Moonlighting, Married with Children, Thirtysomething, Growing Pains, Tales from the Crypt, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Moreover, Irwin Keyes has not only acted in TV commercials and music videos (he’s very touching as a struggling down on his luck actor in the music video for “Good Enough” by Prozak), but also has done voice overs for video games. Irwin Keys lives in Los Angeles, California and continues to act with pleasing regularity.

Seka and Maureen Toth and Proverbial on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 9 Nov 2011 15:00:53 -0500

Adult film star Seka, singer songwriter Maureen Toth, and rock funk jam band Proverbial join us in this fun and very playful episode of The Jimmy Star Show. Tune in for great ideas from the industry’s best!

Seka is an international sex symbol and adult film performer now residing in Kansas City, Missouri. One of the most recognizable stars of the porn industry, Seka has maintained a long and successful career over decades. Seka is credited with performing in just under 180 adult videos and directing two from 1978 to 1993. The material in her films throughout her career varies tremendously, ranging from anal sex and gangbangs to double penetration (DP) and lesbian shoots. She was also a pioneer in the trend of shaven pubic hair, which is a common trait of today’s movies, but was extremely rare at the time.

Known as the Platinum Princess for her striking platinum blonde hair, Seka appeared frequently in the Swedish Erotica series (distributed by Caballero) ranging from volume 11 all the way up to volume 48. Other series featuring her numerous times include Blue Vanities (sporadically from volume 3 to volume 85) and Erotica Collection. Seka directed Careful He May Be Watching in 1987, which won numerous awards and was distributed by Caballero. She also directed Inside Seka, released in 1980 and distributed by Video-X-pix. Both films are still in production and available to purchase online.

In the same year Inside Seka was released, Seka appeared in 24 films and then appeared in 37 the year after, making 1980 and 1981 the most active filming period of her career. Her last appearance in adult erotic film was in 1993 in the film American Garter (distributed by VCA). In 2002 Seka was the subject of a Swedish documentary covering her career, Desperately Seeking Seka, which toured the world film festival circuit, and was part of a media frenzy when it was banned in Singapore due to its erotic topic.

An icon from the golden age of erotic film with a large, devoted international fanbase, Seka currently operates her own website, Seka.com (which features rare Seka finds), and is in high demand for public appearances. Seka is currently booked to appear at Tides of Torture, the world’s first horror convention at sea in April 2012. Seka also plans to create her own biographical documentary film.

Maureen Toth is an American singer songwriter known for her introspective debut album, Deven Kay, a collaboration with friend and fellow musician Lora Kay Ball. Now Maureen Toth is releasing her sophomore album, entitled Shine, a ten track excursion down the highway of love, loss and edification in which Maureen’s ruminations enlighten subtle signposts of the universal human condition.
Produced by guitarist Bernie Larsen (Lucinda Williams, Melissa Etheridge, Rickie Lee Jones, Jackson Browne, El Rayo-X) Shine paints a delicate mood with a perpetually swaying ambiance. Set against the cozy waft of lazy-day Americana wandering amidst lilting down tempo soundscapes, tracks such as Boy & Girl, Jane’s Song and Love Me Still unfold with a slow elegant amble that comforts one’s consciousness. It’s a leisurely gait that deftly permeates throughout to the final Caribbean-infused riddims of Lonely Shoes. On Shine, Toth’s timbre echoes the soothing vocalizations of artists such as Beth Orton, Dido, Suzanne Vega and Beth Gibbons of Portishead. Larsen plays all of the instruments on the album while adding background vocals.

Let It Shine is the album’s first single/video and the defacto title track. It’s a joyous celebration that Maureen originally anointed as “Song To The Children” as it is “a gentle guide to embracing the beauty in each of us.” Its chorus of “Who you are, Is divine, Who you are, Let It Shine” bustles with a foot stompin’ Hammond B3-driven undertow reminiscent of a Sunday morning Gospel revue. Shine is dedicated to Patricia Toth, Maureen’s dearly beloved mother who passed away in 2008. She lovingly pays tribute to her “beautiful angel” in the mystically genteel Mom’s Song as her remembrance glistens and glows “Forever”.

Aside from her masterful songwriter endeavors, Maureen Toth runs Eastern Talent, a successful talent agency in downtown Los Angeles that represents Editors, Directors of Photography, 1st Assistant Directors, Production Designers, Costume Designers and Composers who have worked on full-length feature films including The Hangover Part II, Win Win, The Descendants, Final Destination 5 and Alice In Wonderland as well as TV shows such as Breaking Bad, CSI, Mad Men, Wilfred, Dexter and MTV’s Teen Wolf.

Proverbial band is a seven piece Richmond, Virginia based band whose sound is something not easily defined. They combine rock, funk, reggae, and hip-hop along with hints of other genres to create a solid and unique sound. Proverbial band is known for bringing the heat in their heartfelt, high energy, get off your ass and move live show. They rev concert goers with big in-your-face rock songs, then chill them out with mellow reggae grooves, only to re-ignite the crowd with catchy, upbeat hip-hop and funk to dance to. Audiences don’t stop moving from beginning to end as the Proverbial band septet keeps the fans guessing at what is coming next. One might even catch a freestyle jam, complete with lyrics, that sounds like a rehearsed song when it is actually being created live.

The Proverbial band is Thomas Whitesell (saxophone, vocals), Phillip Walker (keyboards, vocals), Stephen Holicky (lead guitar, vocals), Michael Keeter (rhythm guitar, vocals), Ryan Harlowe (drums), Scott Gerry (bass guitar), and Kevin Condrey (auxiliary percussion). Proverbial boasts a 4-0 record as the reigning Richmond battle of the bands champion. They have won every contest they’ve entered including Spectra Records “Last Band Standing” in which they beat out 40 of the mid Atlantic’s best bands. Opening for acts such as Sublime with Rome, Switchfoot, Chevelle, Flobots, Crash Kings, Papa Roach, Paper Tongues, Tribal Seeds, and The Bridge along with other large acts, this band shows no signs of slowing down as they continue make a name for themselves and spread that Proverbial sound.

The Proverbial band’s new self-titled album Proverbial hits stores in February of 2012.

Grown Up Avenger Stuff and Gaston Light and Fraud Dog Linda Webb on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 2 Nov 2011 15:00:58 -0400

Grown Up Avenger Stuff, Fraud Dog’s Linda Webb and Gaston Light join us in this fun, humorous, and very musical episode of The Jimmy Star Show. Tune in for great ideas from the industry’s best!

Grown Up Avenger Stuff is a rock band from Charlotte, North Carolina. Lead singer Deirdre Kroener brings both soft pretty and edgy power vocal performance to drive the band’s unique sound which is loosely based on the standard garage power group style with a sprinkle of punk, a touch of glam, a slice of metal, a bucket of energy, and often building into a tower of volume. Grown Up Avenger Stuff is Deirdre Kroener on Vocals (Selected Best Female Vocalist – 2010, Charlotte Creative Loafing), Mister Black on Percussion, Hunter Thomsen on Bass, and John Thomsen on Guitar.

Landing somewhere between the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Queens of the Stone Age, Grown Up Avenger Stuff has been together and playing live shows since Feb, 2009. With over 100 appearances under their belt in 16 months, they snagged a record deal with Spectra Records. Their resulting debut album entitled Disagreements With Gravity is now released and available at online and instore retailers nationwide.

Grown Up Avenger Stuff is currently on tour in support of Disagreements With Gravity, and recently recorded a cover of the Beatles’ I Want To Hold Your Hand for the upcoming Beatles tribute album, Revolution: A Tribute to The Beatles.

The Fraud Dog reality television show reveals the drama of live fraud investigations. Fraud is a 100 billion dollar a year industry and hurts thousands of people across the USA. Here to put an end to the scams is Linda Webb, ‘ the Fraud Dog ‘, and lead fraud investigator. The Fraud Dog episodes uncover such cons as the lottery scam, the puppy mill scam, the gift card scam, as well as medicare fraud, insurance fraud, and mortgage fraud.
One of the leading anti-fraud experts in the world, Linda Webb earned her Fraud Dog nickname and reputation during more than 30 years successfully fighting insurance fraud. In her long and colorful career, which includes a stint working for American International Group (AIG), she obtained unmatched results investigating some of the largest and most significant fraud cases, both domestic and international, including several marked by organized crime or terrorist involvement.

Linda Webb is currently the president of Fort Lauderdale-based Contego Services Group. Contego provides insurance services and cost-containment solutions for all lines of insurance that include but are not limited to: investigative services, SIU and fraud investigations, subrogation recovery, loss protection and safety and training resources. Ms. Webb is also a contributing writer for Claims Management Magazine and will be the emcee for the upcoming 25th Anniversary for The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation on December 3, 2011.

John Blaze is an American vocalist, songwriter and producer. As lead singer and founder of the New York Tri-State hard rock band Swift Kick, John Blaze gained local recognition at an early age for his unique and powerful voice. John Blaze has lead a successful career as a recording and touring artist, as well as a behind the scenes contributer to the recording industry for over 20 years.

Gaston Light is a twenty-two year old Texas recording artist with a new, remarkable, debut album entitled Peel. Rooted in the blood, sweat and tears of heartland Americana, the ten-song opus conjures a warm feeling of familiarity while forging an evolutionary path. Gaston Light surmises, “Peel is intended to portray the melting pot that comprises the heart and soul of American Rock & Roll.”

From the very first listen, songs such as In A Casket, Radio King, and Xanax Blues evoke a feeling of a freewheeling road trip along Highway 66 to the classic FM strains of Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Dire Straits, Tom Waits, David Gilmour, Warren Zevon and The Eagles while repeated listens reveal flourishes of folk, blues, soul, gospel, rockabilly, honky-tonk and Western.

Much akin to the sojourner of the 60’s, Gaston Light vulnerably explores his personal journey, for better or worse. Plagued with economic hurdles and addiction, songs such as Half Awake and Kiss the Hive explore the darker side of his excursion while Close Your Good Eye and Crown offer moral glimpses into the harsh, unalterable reality that “coming of age” presents when facing the varying tones of life.

Written and recorded on a limited budget in a mere two weeks in a converted garage in Venice, CA, the nature of the situation added a punk rock ethos to the aural proceedings and, ultimately, required several “first takes” to be used on the Master recording. This underlying sense of urgency recalls the lightning-in-a-bottle nature of The John Peel Sessions, whereby four tracks were recorded and mixed in a single day for later broadcast on the iconic BBC Radio show. As such, both Gaston Light’s Peel and The Peel Sessions share a common lineage, that of a rough and ready, demo-like feel, somewhere between an impassioned live performance and a finished recording.

The moniker Gaston Light serves as the musical alias for Jason Corcoran, and bore itself out of Corcoran’s tumultuous and, ultimately, redemptive journey. It’s a nod to Gaston Avenue in east Dallas, which, coincidentally, is home to his label Idol Records and serves as a written commandment for his enlightened spiritual passage.

Blue Öyster Cult was not an overnight success. From constant touring they built a growing “cult” following. They opened shows all over the United States for groups such as Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and many more. Their first breakthrough album was the 1975 live set, On Your Feet or On Your Knees, which delighted the intense hard rock fans they had won over the years. In 1976, BÖC recorded one of their most popular numbers, Don’t Fear the Reaper which isnow an all-time favorite on classic rock radio. It was used in several movies including the original Halloween, and Stephen King’s The Stand. In 1977, they recorded another classic, Godzilla, on their Spectres album for Columbia. In the early days of MTV, the BÖC video, Burnin’ for You, was a staple on the fledgling cable TV network. Joe Bouchard recorded thirteen albums with Blue Öyster Cult for Columbia Records, and over the years was awarded nine gold albums and two platinum albums. Joe Bouchard’s song Astronomy was also recorded by Metallica on their Garage Inc album, which has now gone five times platinum.

In 1986, Joe Bouchard decided to retire from Blue Öyster Cult and left the band to pursue other goals. Over the years, Joe was a teacher in a private school, and worked in a music book publishing company. In 1986 he performed as a touring organist and pianist with Spencer Davis of the Spencer Davis Group. In 1998 he released his first self-produced CD for The X Brothers, entitled Solid Citizens on Cellsum Records. He recently released a new CD entitled Back From Hell featuring ex-Alice Cooper members, Neal Smith and Dennis Dunaway. He is the author of four educational music books. Joe Bouchard also performed in an instructional video: Rock Bass for Beginners distributed by Alfred Publishing. He holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Ithaca College and a Master of Music degree from The Hartt School at the University of Hartford.

Noel Guglielmi is an American actor often referred to as Noel G and credited as Noel Gugliemi who hails from Orange County, Califorinia. Noel is perhaps best known for his roles as “Hector” in The Fast and the Furious movie, as “Felipe” in the hit A&E original television series The Walking Dead, as “Moreno” in the film Training Day, and as “Chicken” in the film Employee of the Month.

Working prolifically since 1999, Noel Guglielmi has already amassed an astounding 94 film and television projects to his credit in little over a decade. He has appeared in films Bruce Almighty, S.W.A.T., Hotel California, The Bucket List, Street Kings, Crank, and Splinter, as well as television series NYPD Blue, CSI: Miami, Monk, Las Vegas and The Cleveland Show. Guglielmi has worked alongside actors Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Forest Whitaker, Jim Carrey, Dr. Dre, Eva Mendes, Morgan Freeman, Paul Walker, Keanu Reeves, Vin Diesel, Chad Lindberg, Ja Rule, Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, LL Cool J, Jeremy Renner and Hugh Laurie.

Of Italian and Mexican descent, Noel Guglielmi is challenging the entertainment industry’s ethnic casting traditions. Noel has advocated more realistic portrayals of gang characters, and spends his off-screen time teaching children about the virtues of staying out of gangs. Guglielmi also teams with his friend Manny Jimenez aiding Suspect Entertainment, which is a revolutionary talent agency that specializes in hard-to-find ethnic talent while focusing on tearing down the stereotypes and barriers that stand in the way of ex-gangbangers and barrio youth breaking into the Hollywood scene. Gugliemi offers acting classes and training to Suspect recruits and has his eyes on producing independent projects that offer Latinos more true to life and multidimensional roles.

Most recently, Noel Guglielmi appears in four films about to release – For the Love of Money, Filly Brown, Ready to Die, and Vengeance. He is currently filming on two new films, Crosstown and Think Like a Man, and is cast in 3 Days Notice which is currently in pre-production.

Shayne Leighton is perhaps best known as a performing arts prodigy as writer, co-director and star of the S.M.ir.K. Entertainment feature film The Incubus. The independent dark romance film garnered much media attention with its successful release in theaters as Shayne wrote it while in high school in Florida, USA. Leighton, a successful pop singer also had several songs appear on the film soundtrack.

Shayne Leighton’s newest work, her novel Of Light and Darkness: The Vampire’s Daughter has just released in paperback as published by Decadent Publishing. The book is a young adult vampire fantasy novel set in the modern-day Czech Republic and will be the first in a series of five and will be the topic of a new movie. With the conclusions of many popular teen fantasy series such as Harry Potter and Twilight, Leighton thinks it is time to introduce audiences to a whole new cast of characters and creatures. Shayne Leighton is about to embark on a book signing tour for Of Light and Darkness beginning with her upcoming opening signing at Barnes and Nobles in Palm Beach, Florida.

Shayne’s other projects include writing several screenplays, with one called Masque which is a retelling of the classic Phantom of the Opera, and acting in the fantasy action film, Legend of the Red Reaper.

Transmission Fields is an alternative rock band hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina. Their new self-titled album has released nationwide to critical acclaim. Often compared the now late great R.E.M., Transmission Fields has gained fans touring and performing live with the likes of The Verve Pipe, Marcy Playground, and Athenaeum.

Transmission Fields is Lee Neitzel, Jason Perkins, Jason Weiss and Neil Hunter. Their new album was produced by Joe Kuhlman (The Stellas, The Houston Brothers, The Near Misses), and has been described as “a little angular, a little obscure, and a lot of fun” by Shuffle Magazine. Transmission Fields is signed to Spectra Records and is currently touring in support of the new album. Transmission Fields also recently recorded a cover of the Beatles’ Eleanor Rigby which is receiving airplay.

Thomas Churchill with Dave Madison and G Tom Mac and Adrienne Mazzone on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 15:00:56 -0400

The filmmaking team behind Mr. Hush, Dave Madison and Thomas Churchill join The Jimmy Star Show along with recording artist G Tom Mac and entertainment PR Guru Adrienne Mazzone in this completely live, unedited, and very informative episode! You’ll get a behind the scenes look at the entertainment industry by the industry’s best.

David Lee Madison and Thomas Churchill are American filmmakers who have teamed up on two films, Emerging Past, which was directed by Churchill, and now Mr. Hush, directed by Madison. Mr. Hush is an independent horror film which follows the story of husband and loving father Holland Price who is targeted by evil and darkness over his lifespan. Mr. Hush stars Brad Loree (Halloween:Resurrection) as Holland Price, with Steve Dash (Friday the 13th Part II), Steven Geoffreys (Fright Night) and Edward X. Young (Sea of Dust).

Filmmaker Dave Madison developed his love for film as a very young man. At the age of five, he had already seen and loved all of the original Universal horror films. He got his first taste of filmmaking at age nine, when he was an extra in Hero at Large, a John Ritter film directed by Martin Davidson. Throughout his teen years, he acted in Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs and James Lemmo’s Heart starring Brad Davis. As a filmmaker, Dave continues to act, and in his teaming with Thomas Churchill, appears alongside his childhood idol, Stephen Geoffreys (976-Evil), in a very funny scene. His most recent endeavor, Mr. Hush, which he wrote, produced, and directed, is largely inspired by the favorite films of his youth. Mr Hush has secured a limited theatrical release and has many in the horror community abuzz.

Filmmaker Thomas Churchill is best known for writing, directing, and producing the "horrific twisted psycho-thriller rollercoaster ride of terror" independent film Emerging Past. Named Best Horror Feature at the New York City International Film Festival, winning Best Actor for Brooke McCarter's (Lost Boys) performance at the Spooky Empire Freak Show Film Festival, and winning Best Song for the official film soundtrack's song Mud by Katie DiCicco. Thomas Churchill produced Mr. Hush, and as an actor as well, appears in the film as "Sheriff Churchill".

G Tom Mac is famous with the public for his international hit Cry Little Sister, the gothic and triumphant prominently featured theme of Joel Schumacher's cult classic The Lost Boys, and is famous with the entertainment industry as Gerard McMann and McMahon for his highly attuned composing and songwriting talents for film and television projects, as well as for other recording artists. The Grammy winning songwriter boasts an immense music library, and he is also one of the most sampled artists of our time, most recently featured in Eminem's single "You're Never Over" off the Recovery album.

G Tom Mac's new album Untame the Songs came from the process of non-stop, focused writing this year. “My goal was to find the right thread of songs that would feel like a theatrical musical that carried a theme of escape from these very bleak times” says Mac. “I wanted it to reflect on every angle affecting us today, homes lost, jobs lost, basically things being lost in life, including our inner selves. It's not a ‘preachy album’ nor is it ‘come on and let's get fussy & happy’. It does however provoke optimism & a sense of finding a better, more interesting way out of our economic trapped & mundane times. We all need to be inspired by music that motivates us to escape, one way or another and there's no age group that doesn't feel that these days.”

G Tom Mac is masterful at distilling and conveying the purest essence of topical themes to cultivate overwhelming mood and visceral impact in his work. As such, in addition to eight critically acclaimed albums, his songs have been recorded by Kiss, Carly Simon, Robert Daltrey, and Ice Cube. G Tom Mac's credits also include movies such as The Terminator, Chasing Amy, Fast Times of Ridgemont High and Skulls; television shows such as "Gossip Girl", "Plain Jane", "The Closer", and "America's Next Top Model"; as well as commercials for Chrysler, Toyota, DKNY, and Sprite. G Tom Mac collaborates with the equally talented Tony Silver, and together the pair are unstoppable in producing dead-on masterpieces that honor the integrity of classicism in innovative, modern, and technically advanced form.

Recently G Tom Mac scored the music and wrote songs for Thomas Churchill's new film, the psychological thriller Emerging Past, which won the title of Best Horror Feature at the New York City International Film Festival. G Tom Mac's single from the film, Soul I Bare has already become a classic. G has also started a new company LeMac to create music oriented film and television projects.

“‘Groove At The End Of The World’ was chosen as the first single [off Untame The Songs], because it really tells my story of how I view the end of the world" states Mac. “As it all goes to shit, there will be those of us that have found our Shangri La among one another, our escape to Groovin', singing, dancing, & through all this WE SURVIVE! What a concept right?” Groove At The End Of The World will be showcased in its entirety on The Jimmy Star Show.

His father was the well-known British actor Wilfrid Hyde-White, who moved to Hollywood after making My Fair Lady for Warner Brothers in 1963, in which he played "Col. Pickering."

As a teen, Punch joined his father in Washington DC during the run of The Jockey Club Stakes at the Kennedy Center and later attended Georgetown University, at age 16. He returned to California a year later and, finding he prefered show business to a life of politics and government (with his dual citizenship he may have been a likely candidate for the CIA) became a contract player at Universal Studios on such late 70's shows as Battlestar:Galactica and Quincy.

The early 80's found Alex on Broadway in Kingdoms and England where he picked up his first starring role in the British World War 1 time-travel movie Biggles: Adventures in Time. After that came Ishtar in Morocco, Phantom of the Opera in Budapest, The First Olympics:Athens 1896 in Greece and some UK television work before Alex returned back to California in 1989 where he joined the last season of Newhart as Scooter Drake. That led to Garry Marshall casting him as 'David Morse', the polo playing industrialist grandson of Ralph Bellamy in Disney's mega-hit Pretty Woman. Other film roles include "Young Henry Jones" in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, "General Ambrose Burnside" in Gods and Generals, Catch Me if You Can and the first version of Marvel Comics The Fantastic Four in which he starred as "Reed Richards", the intrepid scientist-leader.

As a father of two boys, and himself the son of a very good actor, Alex Hyde-White is dedicated to securing the legacy of progression from father to son as creators of mirth and reason. Actors quite often live on nothing more than spontanaity, instinct and timing, and a sort of cultural "survivalism" is required. While certainly not limiting the next generation's future to arts and entertainment, Alex ("Punch") works with kids-- when at home in Southern California, on the Little League field or classroom during "teaching artist" visits-- to assist them to discover new things about themselves, their instinctive sense of play, their competitiveness, and to allow their intuitive knowledge to shine during Shakespeare class or infield practice. "We know more than we think we know, we just need to dig it out" is his version of "Just Do It."

As a filmmaker, his company TMG produced a romantic comedy in 2001 Pursuit of Happiness which was released in some cities before going to DVD. He has just delivered Three Days (of Hamlet) which will make its debut over the next few months in festivals prior to release to DVD and Home Entertainment. "Three Days" is a Hamlet-based documentary about fathers and sons, mothers and uncles, and nature and nurture. Filmed digitally over the span of three days, mainly in a theatre, the film chronicles a troupe of players as they gather to rehearse and perform a stage reading of Hamlet. Reality ensues and the stories that come out from the characters weave their way into the play, in true indie fashion, to create a most original first person hybrid documentary film.

Noah Hathaway is an American movie and television actor perhaps best known for his starring performance in the cult favorite film NeverEnding Story as "Atreju," the young hero who must save the fanciful Fantasia world from the spread of "the nothing" by finding a cure for the empress.

Born to an actor and a music editor father, Noah Hathaway began his acting career at three years old starring in commercials. At six years old, his break came when he was cast in the acclaimed sci-fi television series Battlestar Galactica as "Boxey" the stepson of leading man "Apollo" played by Richard Hatch, along with notables Lorne Greene, Jane Seymour and Dirk Benedict.

In his seven year early acting career, Noah would accrue over 20 projects to his credit working with the best talent of the time, and was nominated for Young Artist Awards, and won the Saturn Award for Best Young Actor. His television appearances include all the hit shows of the period such as Mork & Mindy, Eight is Enough, Laverne & Shirley, CHiPs, Simon & Simon, Family Ties and the mini-series The Last Convertible with Bruce Boxleitner. His film appearances include It's My Turn with Academy Award-winning Michael Douglas, Separate Ways, Best Friends, Casebusters, and the cult classic Troll, where he played "Harry Potter Jr.", a young boy who had to stop a Troll from taking over his apartment building, and the world.

After a hiatus from acting to pursue his college education and skills such as dance, karate, combat fighting, kickboxing, and motorcycle sports racing, Noah Hathaway is returning to the industry and is currently starring in three upcoming films. In Sushi Girl Hathaway stars as "Fish", a newly released convict who took the wrap for his friends, and is now celebrating his freedom with them when mayhem ensues. Sushi Girl also stars greats James Duval, and Tony Todd, and features Danny Trejo, Mark Hamill, Michael Biehn, Jeff Fahey and famed KROQ DJ Stryker and is currently in post-production.

In The Obsession, Noah Hathaway stars with Dominique Swain and Pollyanna McIntosh in a story about a film critic who loses himself in an immoral wasteland and does bad things to people. The Obsession is also in post-production.

In Mondo Holocausto!, Noah Hathaway stars with James Duval and Richard Tyson in a story about a beautiful photojournalist searching the Amazon on assignment to find a missing adventurer known as "Diamondback", who is met with vicious, misanthropic cannibals.

Dilana and Michael Kenworthy and Neo Geo on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 15:00:58 -0400

Actor Michael Kenworthy, singer/songwriter Dilana, and rock band Neo Geo join The Jimmy Star Show in this completely live, unedited, informative, and very fun episode! You’ll get a behind the scenes look at the entertainment industry!

Dilana aka Dilana Robichaux is a South African singer, songwriter, and actress currently based in Los Angeles, California. Perhaps best known as the runner-up finalist on the CBS reality television show Rock Star: Supernova, Dilana has made an impressive career as a solo artist and recently as an actress.

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, the girl known by age two as Dilana Smith discovered a love for music at an early age, participating in school and church choirs as an escape from an unpleasant home life. Inspired by such visceral singers as Janis Joplin and Tina Turner, she left school at sixteen to follow her own dreams and soon found herself with a promising music career in Holland, becoming one of the country's most coveted live acts. Her 2000 album Wonderfool scored five singles, four videos and a string of touring and festival gigs throughout the region.

Dilana stars in the independent film Angel Camouflaged, for which she has won Best Actress and Best Music at the American International Film Festival and Best Actress at the Action on Film International Festival in 2010. Directed by Michael Givens, Anger Camouflaged includes an impressive cast including James Brolin, Warrick Grier (“The Scorpion King: Rise of a Warrior”), Carlos Bernard (TV’s “24”), Terry Serpico (“Army Wives”) and of course Dilana. Dilana stars as "Scottie", a singer who inherits a rundown bar and, with her somewhat less-than-reliable brother, Morgan (Warrick Grier), labors to revive the ramshackle tavern and rekindle her passion for music. The course of restoration will take some wholly unexpected and revelatory turns. Dilana composed and performed nine songs for the soundtrack including “Airplane”, “Sexaholic”, “Ice”, and “Slaves” to name a few. Angel Camouflaged and the soundtrack are due to be release early 2011.

Dilana is appearing in two additional movies. Silence directed by Jewels Satterfield began shooting in June 2011 and is an action packed thriller based on the underworld of internet pornography where Dilana will play the leading role as "Alex Mitchum". Here After began shooting in Sudbury, Canada and is a psychological thriller with a story of love, loss, passion and redemption with gripping action sequences and a subtle paranormal underpinning. Dilana will be the co-producer in charge of music for each and will offer soundtracks to accompany both films.

Michael Kenworthy is an American film and television actor perhaps best known for his starring role as "Jesse" in Return of the Living Dead Part II. From age 5 to 19, Kenworthy accumulated over 150 projects to his credit. Now returning to entertainment from his extended hiatus as a professional inventor, Michael has begun to make convention appearances and is rumored to have several projects on the horizon.

Michael Kenworthy will be making his first interview appearance to formally announce his highly anticipated return on The Jimmy Star Show. Fans watched him grow up before their very eyes on over 30 television shows like Knots Landing and Growing Pains, films like The Blob, and famous commercials for the Mattel Scientist Monster Lab Toys and welcome his reemergence in the industry.

Neo Geo is an American electro rock band from Orange County, California. Fronted by powerful singer Rainy Terrell, the band is a fan favorite of the renown Warped Tour. The name Neo Geo stands for "new earth", and Rainy Terrell says, "We wanted to create something new and special, something groundbreaking and different.” After extensive touring, Neo Geo has just released their self-titled debut album.

Neo Geo is Rainy Terrell on lead vocals, Ryan Walter on keys and guitar, Andy Cole on bass, Nick DiBiasi on drums, and Jesse Suave on guitar. While touring Neo Geo has performed at iconic venues such as the Roxy, the House of Blues, and the Whiskey A Go Go, as well as music conventions like NAMM alongside acts such Shiny Toy Guns. Partnered with Hardline Entertainment since 2010, Neo Geo recorded their 11 song studio album with with Grammy award-winning producer Cameron Webb (Kelly Clarkson, Motorhead, Pennywise, Weezer).

Neo Geo is currently performing on the 2011 Warped Tour. Their single "Can't Catch Me" will appear on the Official 2011 Vans Warped Compilation CD and is being featured on MTV.com and MTVU's television show Freshman.

Evolove and Stitched Up Heart on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 3 Aug 2011 15:00:11 -0400

Alternative band Evolove and hard rock band Stitched Up Heart join The Jimmy Star Show in this completely live, unedited, informative, and very musical episode! You’ll get a behind the scenes look at the music industry and be surprised by a couple fun celebrity calls!

Evolove (pronounced Eh-Voh-Luv) is an American alternative rock band best known for its debut album 2012: Countdown to the End. The band’s name is a palindrome of the word love (‘love’ is spelled backwards then forwards). Fronted by charismatic vocalist Lucy Levinsohn, Evolove features Dave Corsile on guitar, Billy Berman on Bass, and Colby Jensen on rhythm guitar.

Evolove is set to release their sophomore Ep Breaking Heartstrings on August 8, 2011, which is the inaugural release on the band’s very own HeartChord Records. In addition to being available via iTunes and other digital outlets, Hot Topic stores and Torrid outlets will offer a version on CD as well as exclusive band apparel.

Systematically erecting a delicate balance between soaring melodies and aggressive elegance, Breaking Heartstrings represents a natural evolution expanding upon the musical footprint of 2012: Countdown to the End, an auspicious debut mixed by Brian Virtue (Audioslave, 30 Seconds to Mars, Deftones) that fostered an array of key placements on ABC's top-rated teen drama Pretty Little Liars as well as MTV’s hit shows Made, True Life and Teen Mom.

Last summer, Evolove were thrust into the national spotlight as finalists of the FreeCreditScore.com band search. Debuting the group’s commercial during the MLB All-Star game on FOX, the spot amassed millions of impressions across broadcast and cable spectrums. Significant airplay on outlets such as ESPN, CNN and CNBC led to further exposure on MTV and LA’s KTLA TV.

Congealing the TV awareness with incessant touring, Evolove was a featured artist during Hot Topic’s successful Shop Till You Rock tour before commencing on a non-stop canvassing of festivals, bars, all-ages clubs, high schools and key industry events including the 2011 Winter NAMM Convention and the 25th Annual SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX.

This summer, EVOLOVE is putting the rubber to the road once again on their first-ever cross-country jaunt. Joining them for the initial batch of dates are Hollywood hard rockers Stitched Up Heart (led by glitter-girl Mixi Demner), whom also have a new Ep on the horizon. Both bands will then assimilate an axis point of a Reinforcement Tour triumvirate coalesced by ethereal metal quintet Gemini Syndrome and its lead prognosticator, Aaron Nordstrom.

Stitched Up Heart is an American hard rock band based out of Los Angeles, California best known for its unique and explosive mix of crunchy rock, punk, and subtle jazzy/pop undertones. Stitched Up Heart is Mixi on lead vocals, Mikey on guitar, Andrew on drums, Nikki Misery on guitar, and Charlee Thrash on Bass.

Birthed in 2010, Stitched Up Heart has already amassed a devoted following from constant national touring and performances at SXSW Musical Festival and on the Warped Tour. Stitched Up Heart's new 6 song Ep is entitled Escape The Nightmare and was produced by Mike Sarkisan and Tommy Decker.

Mixi is an American musician and frontwoman of the band Stitched Up Heart. Mixi was one of the contestants featured on the American reality television show Redemption Song, which aired on Fuse TV. The show was a competition between eleven female contestants vying for a chance to become a rockstar. Mixi persevered through the early rounds of the competition and was able to make the final two. During the finale, Mixi beat her fellow finalist Angelica and won in the final performance. As a result, she won Redemption Song and won the recording contract with Geffen Records. She was known throughout the show for her unique style, appearance and personality. Mixi released one single with Geffen, and has since gone on to form Stitched Up Heart.

Richard Portnow and Sven The Uncool Vampire Blogger and Pop Evil on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 15:00:19 -0400

Actor Richard Portnow, hit band Pop Evil, and Sven The Uncool Vampire Blogger and friends join The Jimmy Star Show in this completely live, unedited, informative, and hilariously fun episode! You’ll get a behind the scenes look at the entertainment industries and sneak peeks at new projects!

Richard Portnow is a American character actor with over 150 film and television projects to his credit in a successful career spanning 30 years. Famous for his roles as "Attorney Hal Melvoin" in the hit HBO television series The Sopranos, "Ben Stern" (Howard Stern's father) in the auto-biographical film Private Parts, and Bill Reynolds in the recent film Law Abiding Citizen, Portnow has been named one of the "Actors We Love" by industry newspaper Back Stage West. A stage actor as well, Portnow has starred on Broadway in "The House of Blue Leaves" and "A Month of Sundays", as well as worked with Woody Allen in his "Writer's Block".

Richard Portnow's ability to engage audiences with his fully committed performances has made him a favorite of directors Barry Levinson, Joel Coen, Ethan Coen, David Fincher, Woody Allen, Sydney Pollack, James Foley, Jim Jarmusch, Heywood Gould, Cameron Crowe and Sidney Lumet. He has worked in dozens of critically acclaimed and blockbuster films alongside notables such as James Spader, Forest Whitaker, Morgan Freeman, Gerard Butler, Jamie Foxx, Bruce Willis, Halle Berry, Vin Diesel, Paul Giamatti, John Turturro, and Brad Pitt. Portnow is also a staple of American television with guest appearances on series such as Seinfeld, Mad About You, NYPD Blue, The Shield, Spin City, The Nanny, and recently Dave's World, Nip/Tuck, The Shield, Boston Legal, and Outlaw.

Richard appears in the recently completed 2011 films, Spring Break '83, Slightly Single in L.A., and Two Jacks, as well as films Red Team Go, and Duke which are currently in post-production, and The Fourth Noble Truth currently filming.

Pop Evil is an American rock band renown for their unique blend of radio friendly hooks and well-crafted choruses (pop) combined with aggressive, hard rock (evil). Famous for their Active Rock and Top 40 chart topping singles "Hero" and "100 in a 55" from their debut album Lipstick on the Mirror, the band has cultivated their devoted fanbase from touring the country extensively, including tours with Papa Roach, and Judas Priest.

Hailing from Michigan, Pop Evil is Leigh Kakaty on Lead Vocals, Dave Grahs on Guitar, Tony Greve on Guitar, Matt DiRito on Bass, and Dylan Allison on Drums. "Weʼre just a good old fashioned Midwestern band that believes in grassroots and doing it from the ground up" Leigh Kakaty explains. "Weʼre the same band thatʼll rock your face with some heavy metal riffs then bring out the acoustic guitar and play some ballads."

Pop Evil has just released their highly anticipated sophomore album War of Angels produced by Grammy Award nominated Johnny K (3 Doors Down, Sevendust, Staind). Their first single Last Man Standing debuted to much critical acclaim and fan support, and its official video features famed UFC fighter Frank Mir. The video for their second single, Monster You Made, just premiered July 13th exclusively on Revolver magazine's website. Both are already fast on the rise and expected to be chart topping hits.

Sven The Uncool Vampire Blogger is a beloved character of renown actor Chad Lindberg (I Spit on Your Grave, Supernatural, The Fast and The Furious) who gained fame in the video series of the same name begun on comedian Will Ferrell's internet site Funny or Die. As huge fans of the sensitive and sincere vampire who speaks with a lisp, when Jimmy Star and his Cool Crowd interviewed Chad Lindberg in March 2011, they invited "Sven" to make an appearance all his own to aid him in his campaign to quell the many myths about vampires. Now the fateful day of Sven's first live interview is upon us!

The phenomenon that is Sven The Uncool Vampire Blogger has spawned a Sven Twitter account, Facebook page and YouTube series, attracting a large devoted fanbase. Fans of Sven have been encouraged to submit questions for the living undead blogger to be asked on The Jimmy Star Show live on air.

Wed, 1 Jun 2011 15:00:07 -0400

You’ll get a behind the scenes look at the international film industry as well as AMC’s hit television series, The Walking Dead.

Lauand Omar is truly a citizen of the world, being internationally educated and well-traveled, speaking five languages, and residing on several different continents.

Art of Dying and Lin Shaye on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 4 May 2011 15:00:12 -0400

Frontman Jonny Hetherington of Art of Dying and actress icon Lin Shaye join The Jimmy Star Show in this completely live, unedited, informative, and playful episode of The Jimmy Star Show! You’ll get a behind the scenes look at the film and music industries.

Art of Dying is a Canadian rock band with a devoted international following most famous for their recent single Die Trying off their new major label debut album Vices and Virtues. Art of Dying is Jonny Hetherington (vocals), Greg Bradley (guitar), Tavis Stanley (guitar/vocals), Cale Gontier (bass/vocals), and Jeff Brown (drums). Art of Dying is currently performing on the Avalanche Tour with Stone Sour, Theory of a Deadman, Skillet, and Halestorm. Art of Dying has also toured with bands like Seether and Disturbed as well as performed at international festivals alongside artists like Tool, Metallica and Deftones.

In forming Art of Dying with Greg Bradley, Jonny Hetherington was inspired and elated by the energy and realism of alternative rock bands that mixed equal doses of aggression and melody. However, he didn’t really relate to the dark, negative energy and sometimes pessimistic lyrics of many of his favorite groups. Together they made a conscious effort to be as sonically dynamic as their influences, but approach their songs with a greater sense of optimism. “Most of our songs speak of hope and perseverance,” says Hetherington. “There’s an element of honesty and strength in our music that really comes through.” On the surface, the name “Art of Dying” might seem to contradict that ethos, but Hetherington says the phrase describes the band’s life philosophy. “From the moment you’re born, you’re on an eventual path to death,” he explains. “We all embrace life and enjoy it and make the most of every minute. Our art of dying is living and doing it with as much enthusiasm as possible. That’s sort of our code.”

Vices and Virtues, released on Disturbed's Intoxication label and produced by Howard Benson (Papa Roach, Three Doors Down), expresses their energy and vitality with a blend of urgent, blaring guitar rhythms, atmospheric and transcendent counter melodies, and vocal harmonies that complement the heaviness of the music. Uptempo songs like “Die Trying” and “Straight Across my Mind” reverberate with the triumphant spirit of a raised fist, while tracks such as the acoustic-based “I Will Be There,” “Best I Can,” and “Raining” (which features guest vocals by Three Days Grace frontman Adam Gontier) are more reflective and vulnerable, revealing the pain of imperfect relationships and the redemption that lies within their repair. Vices and Virtues is now available on iTunes.

Lin Shaye is an American film, television, and theatre actress known world wide for her iconic character roles complete with total physical transformation such as Cameron Diaz' severely tanned neighbor "Magda" in There's Something About Mary, the landlady and ugliest woman in the world in King Pin, and the overly zealous mother "Ms. Bruce" in Detroit Rock City. Lin Shaye has worked in over 150 major productions in an illustrious career spanning three decades. She has studied with Uta Hagan at HB Studio and Lee Strasberg at the Actor's Studio, holds a Masters of Fine Arts in Acting from Columbia, founded the acclaimed Los Angeles Theatre Unit, and has won numerous awards for her performances and contributions to the arts.

Lin Shaye is a favorite of directors Jack Nicholson, Tim Pape, the Farrelly Brothers, Tim Sullivan, Walter Hill, and Wes Craven. She has worked alongside actors Glenn Close, Samuel L. Jackson, Cameron Diaz, Woody Harrelson, Ben Stiller, Jim Carrey, and Edward Furlong. Lin Shaye also has an intensely devoted fan following for appearing in cult horror films Nightmare on Elm Street, Dead End, Snakes on a Plane, 2001 Maniacs and its sequel 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams.

Lin Shaye is currently appearing onscreen internationally as "Elise Rainier", a spiritualist in the hit horror/thriller film Insidious directed by James Wan and written by Leigh Whannell, the creative team behind the Saw film and series. Lin stars with Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrnes and delivers yet another authentic, iconic, and real performance which grounds the extremely haunting and eerie supernatural film. Insidious was the #1 most profitable film on opening weekend and has had an extended run in theatres due to its continuous success. Shaye is currently involved in 13 upcoming film projects in various stages of production, including Rosewood Lane, Gates of Eden, and Tim Pape's Black Velvet.

The Thomas Nicholas Band's latest album Heroes are Human has won critical acclaim and earned Nicholas a devoted following for his music in addition to his film and television career. Heroes are Human is the follow-up to Nicholas' Without Warning and Without Warning Acoustic and offers a revolution in soulful rock that is as infectious as it is introspective.

I wanted the people who made this album possible to hold it in their hands and know that they were such a huge a part of it and I couldn’t have done it without them. We made it. Together. It’s Ours."

The season premiered on March 9, 2011 and is the second season of the program to be located in Las Vegas, the first being the twelfth season which aired in 2002. The cast is being housed in a custom suite built at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and the cast's season assignment is to intern with a charity called the Athlete Recovery Fund.

Cassidy Haley and Gina La Piana on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 15:00:27 -0400

Gina La Piana and Cassidy Haley join The Jimmy Star Show in this completely live, unedited, informative, and very musical episode! You’ll get an insider look at how their entertainment success stories are rooted in developing many, many talents along with lots of hard work!

Cassidy Haley is a pop star on the rise with his entrancing dark new music and razor sharp good looks. With the praise of many an industry icon under his belt, Cassidy Haley is yet again impressing the industry and fans alike with his latest single, This Time.

Having made the daring decision to leave his successful fashion house, Skin.Graft, Cassidy has never looked back, spending the last year working non-stop on his first and true love of music. And his choice has proven to be the perfect one. He formed his own record label in 2010, Sunshine Rebel Records, through which he releases his music, music videos, merchandise, and even an online magazine.

His first EP, Little Boys and Dinosaurs (released August 2009), reached #3 on the iTunes Electronic charts and garnered over 100,000 hits for his first music video, “Whiskey in Churches,” and a #3 spot on LOGO’s “Click List” for “Daylight Breaks,” his third single off of the EP. The album also staked claim as one of the Houston Chronicle’s Top Albums of 2009 alongside Kelly Clarkson, U2, Shakira, and Green Day.

Nathan Osmond and Celleste on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 6 Apr 2011 15:00:38 -0400

Country singer, songwriter, producer and motivational speaker Nathan Osmond and Canadian rockstar Celleste join The Jimmy Star Show in this completely live, unedited, informative, and very musical episode! You’ll get an inside peek into what it takes to make a successful career from entertainment royalty!

Nathan Osmond is an accomplished singer, songwriter, producer, motivational speaker and has shared the stage with some of the industry’s biggest names. He is a member of the musical group, The Osmonds-Second Generation and son of 70’s pop star, Alan Osmond. Nathan is currently releasing his debut single, Sweet, off his new solo country album entitled Feels Like Heaven.

Ever since he was a child, Nathan remembers growing up on the set of the Donny & Marie Show. The late Bob Hope discovered Nathan and his brothers and gave them their first National television appearance on his Christmas show back in 1986. Since then, he and his brothers have traveled to over 14 different countries, singing in many different languages. They did commercials for the Sumitomo Bank of Japan and served as youth chairmen for the Children’s Miracle Network. They have appeared on the front covers of teen magazines everywhere. They signed with both Curb Records and Epic/Sony in Europe and have had three songs in the top 40 in the U.K. They have also appeared on MTV, Good Morning America, Live with Regis and Kathy Lee, CBS This Morning, Entertainment Tonight, CNN, Oprah and other major shows and networks. Nathan has performed to sold-out stadiums and arenas in the U.S., Europe and Asia. They won the Golden Bell Award in Taiwan and were voted Branson, Missouri’s Best Young Group of the Year, three years in a row, being inducted into Branson’s Hall of Fame. Nathan also appeared for two years on the North American tour of the hit musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He was also cast as Charlie Brown in the national tour of Your A Good Man Charlie Brown.

Having grown up on the sets of television shows and recording studios, Nathan has a knack for writing and producing. He has produced a variety of CDs as well as musical productions that have been seen at Stadium of Fire, the largest 4th of July spectacular in a stadium in the Nation. Through Ntune Productions, Nathan’s production company, he has written themes and jingles for other live events, companies and television shows such as: First Night, People Builders International, National Training Conference, Love & Marriage (TV Show), etc. He also just recorded a motivational CD with Emmy Award-winning motivational speaker, Les Brown. He has recently written songs with top country artists in Nashville and has had Brian McKnight produce some of his songs.

Nathan is currently focused on his solo Country career. He is proud to be releasing his first solo album this year called, “Feels Like Heaven.” Dean Sams of the hit country group, Lonestar produced four of the tracks on his album in Nashville, Tennessee. He finished recording his album in Muscle Shoals, Alabama with Grammy Award-winning songwriter & producer, Gary Baker. Nathan’s song, “Sweet” will be featured on CMT this year.

Celleste is a Canadian singer/songwriter who is currently releasing her debut rock album entitled Ready To Fly. Inspired by the rock bands of the 60’s and 70’s, Celleste's music is a blend of rock, folk, blues, country and pop, that she likes to call “Modern Classic Rock”. She explains the roots of the eclectic blend in her own words: "I’d often hear Led Zeppelin blasting in my brother's room while dad was strumming Chet Atkins tunes in the basement... then I got my hands on [Lenny Kravitz's] “Are You Gonna Go My Way”, and [Sheryl Crow's] “Tuesday Night Music Club”. Throw in some CCR, Black Crowes and Janis Joplin, perform it all like Steven Tyler and Madonna, and presto... you know all my secrets.”

A pivotal point in Celleste's career occurred when her future producer, Eric Dick, first saw her perform. That meeting led to her becoming the lead singer of Eric’s band at the time, where the two forged a solid working relationship, becoming close friends and sharing the stage together. In 2006 they began working on material for what would later become the “Ready To Fly” album, writing Real Love, Best I Can, Beyond Words, and Falling.

In 2008, Celleste and Eric decided to join forces as business partners and started their own independent record label, Mighty Music (www.mighymusic.ca) . Doing the job of ten people, they took on the roles of graphic design, website building, photography, shooting and editing videos, all administrative functions, and of course, writing and recording “Ready To Fly”. If that wasn’t enough, during the same period the two signed a second artist to Mighty Music, also produced by Eric. “The last year and a half has been a crazy schedule, lots of decisions taken, lots of things learned and accomplished, I’ve never been so creative and productive in my whole life. It’s a great feeling to be in control of my career, fulfilled in my life, doing exactly what I’m supposed to, and knowing I’m exactly where I should be."

Laura Slade and Jenny Wright plus an Interview with James Wan and Leigh Whannell of Insidious on The Jimmy Star Show

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 15:00:53 -0400

Actress Laura Slade Wiggins and actress icon Jenny Wright join The Jimmy Star Show in this completely live, unedited, informative, and very full episode! You’ll also hear Drew Albright and Woody Meckes’ interview with Insidious creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell as well as surprise call-ins from Insidious’ J LaRose and Jay and Silent Bob Get Old’s Jason Mewes! Get a behind the scenes peek into the entertainment industry from its best!

Laura Slade Wiggins aka Laura Wiggins is perhaps best known for her character "Karen Jackson" on the Showtime network's new hit original television series Shameless, starring alongside renown actors such as William H. Macy, Emmy Rossum, Joan Cusack, Justin Chatwin and Jeremy Allen White.

Shameless follows the lives of the fabulously dysfunctional Gallagher family. Dad's a drunk, Mom split long ago, eldest daughter Fiona tries to hold the family together. Eldest son Philip (Lip) trades his physics tutoring skills for sexual favors from Karen (who herself has a "quirky" mom and abandoning father). Middle son Ian is gay. Youngest daughter Debbie is stealing money from her UNICEF collection. Ten-year-old Carl is a budding sociopath and an arsonist, and toddler Liam is - well, he might actually be black, but nobody has a clue how. Created by Paul Abbot (State of Play, Touching Evil) and executive produced by Emmy Award-winning producer John Wells (ER, The West Wing) and adapted from the long-running British series of the same name, the wildly entertaining and fearlessly twisted U.S. premium television series has earned critical acclaim and is currently concluding its first successful season and is renewed for its second season.

Jenny Wright aka Jennifer Wright is perhaps best known for her iconic starring role as the mysterious "Mae" in Academy Award Winner Kathryn Bigelow's 1987 cult classic Near Dark, to which she brought an intoxicating blend of innocence and dark sensuality that has earned her a timeless fan following. Jenny Wright's highly successful 16 year acting career featured work in over 30 film, television, and stage projects with the industry's best actors and directors. Since her decision to retire in the late 90s, she has been consistently sought after for public appearances as well as a return to the industry.

James Wan and Leigh Whannell are world renown as the creative masterminds behind the SAW film series and have teamed with the producers of hit independent film Paranormal Activity to bring audiences Insidious, a highly suspenseful tale of a family whose son is haunted by evil spirits. Released by Film District and opening across the United States on April 1, 2011 with a well-earned tagline, "Insidious is insidious," the film is elegantly and singularly creepy and sure to burrow its way into the cultural subconscious like a Poltergeist or Jaws of previous times.

Insidious stars acting greats Patrick Wison, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Ty Simpkins, J Larose, and Barbara Hershey who deliver down to earth and anchoring performances amongst the other worldly circumstances of the film. Original Music by Joseph Bishara and cinematography by David M. Brewer and John R. Leonetti create stunning flashes and disturbing dissonance which when combined with the twisting plot, pleasantly disorient viewers for a complete thrill ride.
