Beyonce Serves Up A Surprise Album... and a Pizza!

Beyonce, her Secret Surprise Album, and a Pizza!

Yup- she just released a secret album like the way my friends do-

Dropped it like a hot pizza...

Except she got 80,000 downloads in 3 hours.

My friends have to work a little harder to get those numbers, but really, it's the same process:



Except that Beyonce has been working on cultivating her following for years and has constantly given out art and music the whole time. It's what her followers expect.

But she also added Videos!
Including one with her doing some sort of strip tease... I may have to get this one!

Hot Chick Joanna Carpenter Talking BEER and AMERICA- Brave The Brew!

Hot chick talks about Beer and America!

Joanna Carpenter is an Entreperformer who I met through Lia Sumerano, who played Vanessa in "In The Heights" with me, but we made friends waiting at an audition for Aladdin.

Yes, New York City acting is a small world.

This vivacious energetic woman has a passion for BEER, and created http://www.BravingTheBrew.com where she talks beer and brewing. She took a few seconds with me at one of her events to talk about why America creates the coolest and most innovative beers in the world. Listen and fall in love:

Sign up at her site to come to her next event. I had a great time, learned more about beer, and got to try a lot of different beers... maybe too many?

What does ROB FORD have to do with your ACTING CAREER?

What Is Your Actor Brand?

Remember when Tina Fey got to be Sarah Pailn?

A big mistake many actors make is that since they're actors, they think they can play ANYTHING, and they may be right, but it doesn't matter-

You'll only get booked for what OTHER PEOPLE think you can play.

Just like you would use soft scrub instead of toothpaste to clean your bathtub (even though it would work!), the people who are going to hire you will mostly hire you to do something they've seen you play already.

Case in point: ROB FORD.

Now that he is branded as "The Crack-Smoking Mayor" who is clumsy, fat, and drunk all the time, guess who the internet clamored to play him:

CHRIS FARLEY.

Who died in 1997- 16 years ago.

But being a fat, clumsy, drunk slob was Chris Farley's Brand:

Rob Ford the Movie - YouTube: ""
Someone made a fake trailer for "Rob Ford The Movie" starring Chris Farley because of their brands.

Yes, the video is kinda hilarious, and of course, it fits. But I'm pretty sure that there are other actors, ALIVE ACTORS who could also play Rob Ford. Bobby Moynihan did a good job on SNL, but of course, that was to be expected too.

And that's the point.

You had better control your brand- and HAVE ONE TO BEGIN WITH- or you might not get the work that is exactly for you when it appears.

So, maybe you should find a politician who you look like, and see what kind of scandal they can get caught up in! Good luck!

By the way, The Rob Ford Television Show that was in the works was cancelled recently after the public said they would refuse to watch it. The Canadian Public. I have a feeling the US would have eaten it up!

Beautiful Day In Central Park- New York City Without A Day Job!

Beautiful Day In New York City - YouTube

I wanted to let you see what you're missing on a great fall day in New York City.

We are in Central Park, up on the hill at 104th street, and look at how great the trees look! You can even see the Empire State Building.

It was Saturday, but I could be out enjoying it any day of the week because I don't have a day job to tie me down.

What would YOU do without a day job?
