The worlds best heavyweight mixed martial artist has a new American promotional home. Following Afflictions announcement that they were ending MMA promotional activities, Fedor Emelianenko quickly became the fight world’s most sought after free agent. After rebuffing the UFC’s offer–citing restrictive contractual arrangements–’The Last Emperor’ has signed a multi-fight deal with Strikeforce. Terms of the arrangement were not made public, but Fedor will make his debut for Strikeforce this October.

Strikeforce agreed to allow Fedor non-exclusivity outside of North America, allowing him to compete in Japan and elsewhere. They also agreed to enter a co-promotional relationship with M-1 Global. M-1 Global is owned by Fedors manager Vadim Finkelchtein and the fighter also has an equity stake. These were the sticking points in Fedors negotiations with the UFC, and with Strikeforce not having an issue with non-exclusivity or co-promotion a deal was quickly brokered.

Fedor expressed his thoughts after the contract signing was announced:

I am looking forward to going back to work and fighting at the highest level. STRIKEFORCE is a top fight promotion that houses some of the greatest fighters in the world. I am prepared to fight any of them.

Emelianenkos manager, Vadim Finkelchtein observed:  Read more...

L’Oreal…Because you’re worth it! Claims a green eyed fair skinned Aishwaria Rai. The good people of L’Oreal believe that the above advertisement of their product will serve as a bait for various nubile young (and oh! Well not so young) women who will buy their products and set the money rolling in.

Time for a reality check. The Gen-X of today is well aware of the ways of the world. Thus when a celebrity like Ms Rai looks intently into the camera and tries to convince us that “we are worth it”,how many of us genuinely believe that a simple cream can make us all green eyed beauty queens?

The  answer could presumably be none.Then how is it that according to Status quo celebrity endorsements are still en-vogue and still attract a large market? The reasons could be multifold.

Firstly people tend to remember the advertisement(and hence the product)for a longer period of time. Due to a popular face and the publicity attached to it, if I’m an amateur in the world of say moisturizers, I would be inclined to buy a product that I’ve seen more often. Not knowing because the product in question is better than the rest but simply because it’s all over the place and is endorsed by a well known face!  Read more...

20 Questions with Celeb Hairstylist Diana Schmidtke

by Teen Vogue April 15, 2009

Whether you’d like to work on the sets of major Hollywood films or backstage at Fashion Week, leading celebrity hairstylist Diana Schmidtke’s new book, Shortcuts, is giving all you future beauty professionals out there a valuable gift– a book filled with her own personal experiences and detailed advice to help make your dreams come true in this super competitive industry!

1. You’ve already worked with an impressive number of celebrities in show business. Is there anyone that you would like to work with whom you haven’t yet?
Absolutely! It’s difficult to narrow it down to one person, but if I had to choose somebody that I could work with tomorrow, I would choose President Barack Obama.  

2. When did you discover that you wanted a career in the beauty industry?
It was actually an evolutionary process that began when I was 18 years old. (My mom, however, will tell you it started in 4th grade when my teacher confiscated my comb during class.)  For me, I remember the journey starting when my hairdresser asked me to be his hair model at the Midwest Beauty Show in Chicago. Throughout the day, I had an opportunity to walk around the convention and talk to people about their careers. On the drive home, I decided I wanted to use my creativity to make people feel good about themselves.  I immediately enrolled in beauty school.

Brad Pitt dressed up like a giant chicken? Yep. He sure did!

Other famous celebrities had jobs that were just as crazy or lowly, that it gives you hope. And the lesson that we learn is, no matter how you start your working career, you can go on to bigger and better things as you build your confidence and experience, and eventually start doing what it is you love in life.

Indecisiveness is a major road block that stops a lot of teens from getting a part time job. As a general rule, indecisiveness causes one to take forever and ever on deciding on anything.

We’ve all gone through it, especially when we started out in our teenage years.

It’s understandable because there is an incredible amount of opportunity that lies before you. Too many options can cause confusion. Confusion leads to undecisiveness and people start to plan, plan, plan, without taking any action.

Theres a good old saying that goes: “No one ever got rich, PLANNING for gold.”

Get it?

People got rich “PANNING for gold!”

In other words, they took action. They kept moving forward until they were successful. And so must you.  Read more...
