What is the best way for an aspiring fashion designer to get a big break? Well, for starters, you can post a Craigslist ad directed at a specific Oscar nominee to make their gown.

When I say Channing Tatum will cause ears to bleed, I am referring to the amount of blood curdling squeals he is going to receive from the hoards of people that are going to be at Macy’s in SF’s Union Square. He and his Dear John co-star Amanda Seyfried are doing a meet and greet [...]

In 2008, I thought I could be a writer for television (I think I can still be one) so I wrote a teleplay with very little knowledge of how to write one. I entered into the New York Television Festival.
