Politics, DC careers

DC is a wild, wild place. Just ask all the DC interns and those on the paths to success around DC. It has been said that LA is where you find culture, NYC is the money, and of course DC for government. Ego TV will explore politics, and the young, successful, and influential people making serving our country in DC, state governments, and local/ county governments. There are many interesting careers, from serving in Congress to working for the FBI. Several of our shows on Ego TV focus on culture, but we do not currently have a young, up-and-coming politician or DC-insider on Ego TV, nor any base in DC. I did see a young mayor on CNN (I think he was 20 years old!). Does anyone know who this kid was on CNN? I have spoken with several Political Action Committees in California about video blogging, but I want the focus to be "how to succeed in politics/ government work" and not necessarily partisan politics.

Emmy wrap-up

It was a great weekend with all the Emmy excitement in Los Angeles. After making some gifting lounge rounds, I headed to a few Emmy parties. What's a gifting lounge you may wonder?? Basically, companies give free products (clothes, tech toys, etc) to celebrities, trendsetters, press, and execs with the hopes that the products will be talked about/ worn/ etc. Party highlight: the Vanity Fair party at the historic Chateau Marmount on Sunset Blvd. Tiny Fey was there and recognized Gummi Bear, the host of Ego Scoop. The enitre cast of 30 Rock including Tracy Morgan was there. I ran into some NBC friends. Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots was lounging on a couch with two hookers. More updates to come....

New Shows on Ego TV

Dr. Botox will launch new weekly episodes, starting soon! I will keep you all posted. Also, we interviewed the New Kids on the Block Production Manager, Bobby Schneider recently for "Anatomy of a Rock Star." He is currently on an arena concert tour with New Kids on the Block. Very, very interesting - he's worked as a Tour and Production Manager for Third Eye Blind, the Deftones, David Bowie, and many more artists. You won't believe what one of the celebrities asked Bobby to do to her dress before every show. Wow. Best of all, Bobby gives us great insight into what Tour Managers do, how to break into the biz of rock and roll, and how your band lands a Tour Manager. Great advice, and a fantastic guy! Many new shows are being released this fall. Please sign up for a newsletter at http://www.EgoTVonline.com to get all the latest information on new shows and updates at Ego TV.

Emmy Weekend - Ego TV

Hi everyone - It's officially Emmy week/ weekend here in LA. The gifting lounges, parties, and industry events are in full swing. As most of you know, Ego TV's mission is not about simply hitting glamorous entertainment industry red carpets around Hollywood (although I will be out having some fun this weekend and promoting Ego TV) and doing the same stuff you see on every other entertainment network, show or site.

We want to find the people out there working hard - in front of the camera and behind the camera, and tell the stories of how they got to where they are, and what it takes to succeed in the cut-throat businesses surrounding the Emmy's. The Emmy weekend is the perfect opportunity for you to learn from great directors, actors, PR guru's, production teams, the people who pamper the stars, the fashionistas, and more. How did they become a publicist for an Emmy-award winner? Who gave them their big break? What does it take to dress a star for an award show? All of these questions are the focus for Ego's shows.

Where do we find these great people? We are hitting the parties and events, including: the HBO party on Sunday, The Little Black Dress party at "The Sunset" in WeHo, the Liberace Penthouse gifting lounge, Life on Wilshire, and many more! Talk to you soon.
