HOTTER IN HOLLYWOOD

INTRODUCING THE MOVIE MALL

Talk about living in a Jetsons world...

20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has partnered with Taubman Centers to create a groundbreaking new shopping experience for consumers with the installation of Fox Movie Mall virtual storefronts. With the introduction of the Fox Movie Mall app (available at the iTunes Store and Android Market), shoppers at the mall can simply "Stop, Scan and Shop," providing convenience and accessibility like never before. An industry-first innovation, consumers can pick one of the film titles from a wallscape, scan a QR code, and instantly be taken online to make their purchase and have it shipped right to their door. Those that download and launch the Fox Movie Mall app can save up to 50 percent on their purchases and have access to the RIO coloring app, additional games, trailers, movie and TV clips and more.
 
The year-long exclusive partnership will also include home entertainment lounges in central locations with state-of-the-art HDTVs showcasing footage from the upcoming family-friendly films courtesy of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.

If you're in Los Angeles, stop by the Beverly Center to check out the new installation. A list of other malls and cities across the country can be found here.

Eating PASTE Hot Couture by G. Charles Wright

A couple years ago while vacationing in NYC, I stumbled upon the Young Designer's Market in Nolita (268 Mulberry between Houston and Prince). While there I met a guy named Jason, who silk-screened some really amazing vintage dress shirts, neck ties and new t-shirts. His company is called PASTE. Paste is hand-silk-screened right in NYC, on high-quality, enzyme-washed men's tees that are also made in the USA (women's available as well). All graphics are Jason's own designs.

For the holiday shopping season, Paste is offering a discount on online orders. So now is THE time to shop!

Paste will also be on sale as always every Saturday and Sunday at the Young Designer's Market in Nolita (268 Mulberry between Houston and Prince). And again this year, at the Columbus Circle Holiday Market, every day of the week starting December 3rd. And finally, for the first time ever, Paste is excited to be part of Bust Magazine's NYC Holiday Craftacular 2008, Sunday, December 14th.

If I Took This Class 10 Years Ago, I'd Be A Rich Woman Hot Tips by Fay Wolf of New Order

Auditioning for commercials has always been the subject of groans and frustrations among fellow actors. Classically trained pros wonder why their proven techniques are getting them callbacks for CSI but not for Applebee's. Well, the day you realize that the technique for booking a commercial is not even close to the one used for theatrical auditions is a very important day. And the day you realize that a supercool guy named Killian McHugh is teaching his proven commercial auditioning technique at 1020 Studios – for only $275! – is even better. After 4 weeks of blessing you with his awesome knowledge, your tape will be shown to a number of top casting directors, including Alyson Horn and Jessica J. (He blessed me last year, and I've had tons more callbacks - and a booking. Boo yah!) Killian is an actor himself with a long list of credits and spent years in casting as well. I really could go on and on, but I'll let Killian's website take over: www.killiansworkshop.com. Next class starts this Tuesday, but don't worry if you miss it - there is one EVERY MONTH!!

He also has a separate really unique class that concentrates solely on the callback process and the last class is in front of actual casting directors!!! PLUS: Killian is offering a 10% discount to Hot in Hollywood readers.

Filing Your Taxes... Literally Hot Tips by Fay Wolf of New Order

Fay and Jen of NEW ORDER

Many of us L.A. dwellers work in the entertainment industry, which means lots of receipts for tax write-offs. This week is the time to gather up all those pesky receipts and - at the very least – put them all in one large envelope labeled “2007 Receipts”. Whether your system throughout the year is stuffing them into one box, or neatly filing them by category, or just scattering them around your house and car (no judgment)... take 5-10 minutes to gather them all up, label them, and start a new inbox to collect 2008 receipts. Even if you can’t bear to deal with them now, it will save you time by not having to sort them later by year. (And - eek! – if you aren’t saving them at all and taking the tax deductions you deserve, LET'S TALK.) And if you find that this is all just too much to think about, NEW ORDER will sort it all out for you. Mention “Hot in Hollywood” for 10% off your first session!

The Bling Bling Sale at Sugar On La Brea Hot Couture by Kelley West

Are diamonds really a girl's best friend...

So a client of mine came into the boutique a few days ago sporting this gi-normous rock on her
finger...it was so big and so shiny, even my over sized Chanel sunglasses couldn't cut the glare!!
Being the ever-tackful shop owner, I asked her "Doesn't your hand get tired having to lift that sucker?" to which she replied, "Kind of." She then explained that her uber successful producer boyfriend bought it for her but she was a nervous wreck every time she wore it! She said she lived in constant fear of being mugged for it!! Well, I just laughed and assured her that would never happen! Then I then hit her over the head with a lamp, grabbed the gem off her finger and ran for the hills!! Just kidding!! It did occur to me however that while the THOUGHT of a ten carat diamond on my left hand makes me a little "randy" the REALITY is that it's a huge responsibility! Who needs it? The big cocktail ring is a MUST this holiday season and thanks to jewelry
designers like NOIR and Sheila Fajil, the selection is endless! Rubies, emeralds, saphires and yes, DIAMONDS can all be yours with little cost and absolutely no risk of robbery!! And, who wouldn't want ten rings instead of one? Elizabeth Taylor feels that way about jewelry and husbands...that bitch has it going on, doesn't she?
In honor of Ms. Taylor and all her insanity, we are giving 30% off of all cocktail rings from now until
after the new year to all HIH readers!! So come on over and get your Sugar on...LaBrea!!
