InterFACE Employee and Aspiring Actress Jacqueline Madden Gets “Cut Off” on VH1

East Brunswick, NJ (PRWEB) July 29, 2010

Imagine this -- a young girl believes she's going to LA, to be featured in a new VH1 reality TV series, in which she will get to party, live in a mansion and enjoy the good life. Anyone would be all for it right? So was Jacqueline Madden, the InterFACE development director and aspiring actress and model thought the national exposure of a reality TV show would be perfect to help ignite her career. However, things changed slightly when Jacqueline realized the show she had been cast for had a slightly different theme, she was about to be featured on “You’re Cut Off”, the VH1 reality brainchild that chronicles pampered princesses fall from grace for the eight weeks they are cut off from their friends, family and most importantly their parents' cold hard cash.

Eight girls went through a two month period living a “modest” life, guided by a certified life coach, to help them become more independent and well-rounded individuals. As most can probably imagine, the inner-diva in everyone came out, and the princesses roared as they tried to become accustomed to living with each other and without their previous lavish lifestyles.

“You’re Cut Off” premiered on VH1 June 9th and since then has been a popular subject of conversation in the entertainment industry. Due to the show’s controversial topic, the Internet’s entertainment blogs have been buzzing. “Looking back on it, I think doing the show was hysterical!” says Jacqueline. “Although it was tough at times, I got a chance to do a lot of things that I thought I would never do, and I made some great friends.”

The show has boosted Jacqueline’s career as well. This summer she was featured on The Early Show on CBS, and she also shot the cover of Stepping Out Magazine.

As far as working as a top director at InterFACE; Jacqueline loves it. “It’s really nice working with people who are in the (entertainment) industry just like me,” she states. She is one of InterFACE’s biggest fans, and always recommends the talent marketing company to her friends and family to come there to begin their career.

InterFACE is a premier talent marketing firm based out of Connecticut and New Jersey. The company helps models, actors, and singers begin to break into the entertainment business by marketing them within the industry to help begin their careers.

“InterFACE does work,” says Jacqueline. “We set realistic goals and really help our clients jump-start their careers. It’s so rewarding seeing clients get requested and book jobs after I helped give them the courage to move forward.”

More reality TV for this VH1 breakout star? “Maybe not another show like ‘Cut Off,’” she jokes, “but I am ready to pursue even more demanding acting and modeling roles for sure.” This 23-year-old takes her craft very seriously, and is ready to work hard to have the career she has always dreamed of. “You have to prove yourself in this industry,” says Jacqueline, “and having been blessed with the lifestyle that I have only makes me want to work harder to stay on top.” Now that’s a girl with a good head on her shoulders, good luck Jacqueline.

"Official Hot Mess talks VH1, Playboy Mansion, Flava Flav and Adrianne Curry." - Interview

Official Hot Mess is duo made up of two very good looking sisters, but don’t think that’s all they have to offer. They have a music video out entitled “Welcome 2 LA” featuring Adrianne Curry and Flava Flav. They’ve played the Playboy Mansion on more than one occasion and they already have a reality television deal. Recently I got a chance to talk with Official Hot Mess.

Q – How would you describe your music?

A - You could describe our music as Blondie meets Cindy Lauper – it’s fun, quirky music that's sure to get a party started; perfect for a girl's night out!

Q – How long have you been playing music, and what was the moment that made you decide this is what you wanted to do?

A - We wrote our first song when we were really little kids on a PBS children's television show and haven't stopped writing and creating music since. We were born in Hollywood, but our parents moved us away from the LA scene to a sleepy little beach town in Florida where we went to a public school for the academically and musically gifted. Despite their attempts to keep us out of the entertainment industry, music was always our passion and we were creating music for fun since we were little kids. We were sort of rebels in our high school (that consisted of a student body of certified geniuses) in the sense that we weren’t focused on our academics, and we solely wanted to pursue our music. We play piano and guitar by ear and pick out our melodies that way.

Q – Do you think being the daughters of two celebrities has been a crutch you’ve had to overcome or has it helped in terms of getting your music out there?

A - We totally respect our parents’ and their respective careers, but music is our passion and we are pursuing this on our own. We’re really lucky that they raised us with such good heads on our shoulders, so we are confident in making our own decisions, and following our own paths. They really have no connections to help us in the music industry… and that’s fine, because we’re smart and independent young women pursuing our own goals.

Q – There seems to be a level of humor in your music and video. How important is the comedic element to you?

A - I think a lot of people are surprised by the fact that we're more than just typical blonde bimbos. We actually have a sense of musical ability and we incorporate our personalities and sarcastic sense of humor into that. The sarcasm and a little bit of humor intrinsically comes with Official Hot Mess. Look at our name, lol!

Q – How did you manage to get Flava Flav and Adrianne Curry for your video “Welcome 2 LA?”

A -The first time our band played at The Playboy Mansion, we met Adrienne Curry. She heard us play the song, and she was really into it. She loved the sarcastic flavor to it, and she wanted to be in the video so she smoked weed and played Guitar Hero in the video! We met Flavor Flav at another event our band was playing at, and we clicked, so the video for “Welcome 2 LA” is set at Flav’s house party.

Q – Tell us about performing at the Playboy Mansion. How did that come about and what is that experience like?

A - Performing at the Playboy Mansion for the first time could be described in 2 words - culture shock, lol! With us and the 4 guys in our band coming from this quaint little town in Florida, it was an amazing experience to perform there. They say when you’re nervous, you should picture the audience naked, well you can’t do that at The Playboy Mansion, cause most of them already are, lol. We have a great friendship with Hef, and he’s really supportive of our music.

– You begin shooting a reality show for VH1 later on this summer. Can you tell us what it’s going to be about?

A - It’s gonna be a really fun, honest show that goes behind the scenes and documents the outrageous antics and chaos that ensues when we and the 4 wild and crazy guys in our band hit the road. Our contrasting lifestyles - life in our sleepy little beach town in FL (where the average age is death vs. the crazy “rock star lifestyle” we lead when we’re back in Hollywood.

Q – Do you have any reservations about letting the camera invade your private lives?

A - I don’t think so… at this point, lol, because we really don’t have anything to hide, you might as well go out there and be yourself because there's no point in trying to be someone you're not.

Q – Who are some of your early influences?

A - Most of our songs are pop with an underlying rock feel which comes from being influenced by artists like Blondie, Cyndi Lauper, The Bangles, Pat Benatar, and The GoGo's. We're influenced by rock, alternative, hip hop, etc and bring aspects of each genre into our personal style.

Q – Thanks for taking the time and good luck with everything. Is there anything else you’d like to add?

A - You can find out lots about us and hear our music on our MySpace page at www.MySpace.com/OfficialHotMess, our Facebook page at www.FaceBook.com/OfficialHotMess, and follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/OfficialHotMess

Exclusive Why Rachel Ditched Celebrity Rehab 4

When VH1 announced the list of names of who will appear on the upcoming season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew,Rachel Uchitel was among them. But Tiger Woods‘s alleged mistress reportedly left the Pasadena Recovery Center where the show is taped.

Now that she’s back, a source close to the N.Y.C. nightclub hostess tells PEOPLE why she ditched Rehab — and why she quickly came back.

“She did this [TV show] to show people who she is. She feels that then if they hate her, she’s okay with that,” the source said. “But she’s not okay with them creating a character for her to play and represent. She’s not the things people say. She wants a chance to prove that. She’s trying to focus on what’s going on there and take rehab seriously.”

Uchitel left the show temporarily because “the demons from her past became too much to deal with,” the source says, but she returned after realizing that “she is part of a group and the group needs to know they can count on her for their sobriety.”

Former Hills star Jason Wahler, singer Leif Garrett, former model Janice Dickinson, socialite Jason Davis and Party of Five actor Jeremy London are also set to be on the show.

According to a source close to the show, Uchitel wasn’t gone from production for very long. “It was like she walked out and came back,” the source says.

“It’s very hard stuff dealing with past trauma,” the source close to Uchitel says of her recovery process. “Being forced to look at it hurts.”

A rep for VH1 and Dr. Drew had no comment

Sandra won't be on Basketball Wives (Season 2)

 Sandra who is known as the "groupie" on Basketball Wives went on her twitter page to announce that she has turned down Basketball Wives (season 2)

Jessica Cimato as Kelso McNerlin

In a previous post Jessica (You're Cut Off) tweeted that she wanted to try out for Saturday Night Live. Well I think she has potential. She came up with a character name Kelso McNerlin. This could be a potential SNL character. What do you think.


About Kelso McNerlin:
- loves olives and raspberry jam.
- collects pennies and odd shaped cheeses.
- favorite sexual fantasy - rice pudding kozy snack packs.
- defense teacher by day
- singer/rap artist by night.

VH1access Interview: Katie McCutcheon (Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch)

I finally did an interview with my first Ochocinco girl and that is Katie, who was recently eliminated on Sundays episode. She says that she had a "great experience" doing the show, she also says that Chad is a "cool guy". She also says the only thing that stood her out from the rest of the girls was her red hair and she thinks that she looked "super slow" on the show. Follow her on twitter




VH1access: Hey Katie how are you?

Katie: Hey! Im good! Just living life, sore from these workouts for volleyball! 

VH1access: How was your experience being on the show?

Katie: I had a great experience actually! I had fun, I was honest... and I really got along great with most of the girls.  Not to mention Chad is a really cool, down to earth kind of guy!

VH1access: How did it feel like being on a reality dating show? I'm guessing you have not done this before.

Katie: Well I figured, being from the country, with ALOT of quiet, low key days it would take some getting used to.  But Im super competitive anyways, and my social skills are NORMAL, haha ... so I got into the swing of things pretty easily.

VH1access: Did you ever expected that he would picked you out of 85 girls? 

Katie: There were alot of good looking girls out there, so no! I expected to get the boot the first day.  I think the ONLY thing that stood out was my red hair.

VH1access: Which girls did you got along with the most? 

Katie:  got along with everyone, but Courtney and I connected on the most dorky level possible! too bad they didnt show any of it.  It was pretty hilarious!  but I also really liked Tiph and Jas... Lisa .. Maaybe Chad and B Twice haha

VH1acces: Watching the show it seemed like you were out of your element.

Katie: I SEEMED out of my element.. because instead of dogging the other girls, I made fun of myself.   I dont even OWN overalls, and my toes are not THAT bad! haha  My social skills are totally fine, I just have a little bit of a country accent.  

VH1acces: On Twitter you tweeted that you looked "slow" on the show. 

Katie: Yes! I looked super slow haha.  But I thought alot about what I was saying, the cameras were there ALL the time.  I didnt wanna be taken wrong, so I thought about every word I said so i didnt look trashy, instead I look slow.. Ill take that.

VH1access: Do you think you deserved to stay over Tara?

Katie: If Chad was really looking for a real relationship he would have picked me over Tara.  But lets be real, I knew I was going home after I told him how it really is.

VH1access: On the show you also mentioned that you are a born again virgin and used to be judgmental?

Katie: Yea, I just got involved with some people who were really spiritual, and really into God, and I got into it and changed my life around.  So I just got rid of the unnecessary things.  Some of the changes you cant see, like being judgemental, having a bad attitude, short temper, gossiping.  Im just a better person now.

VH1access: What have you been doing since your departure on the show? 

Katie: I have been playing alot of volleyball, and spending time with friends before I ship off to Italy! Helping out with the horses, on the RANCH, not farm! :-) 

VH1access: Do you still keep in touch with Chad Ochocinco?

Katie: No, I havent talked to him since I left..

VH1access: You are also an athlete is that correct?

Kate: Yes! i played basketball volleyball and track on a College level.  but now Im just playing volleyball in Italy.

VH1access: Would you do another reality show?

Katie: I would do another reality show! It was alot fun.  I think if I had gotten caught up in drama and no one on the show liked me then Id probably say no. But I had fun.

VH1access: Well thank you for doing this interview with me Katie. Do you want to give a shou tout to anyone?

Katie: Well your So Welcome!!!! And I guess just The girls! Courtney, Tiphany, Jasmine, ChaCha(Crystal) Candace, Emma ...

Celeb Fitclub Doctor On tour

Dr. Ian Smith, the medical expert who has dished out weight loss advice for six seasons on VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club," will be in Durham this weekend on a nationwide tour to promote health.

But this time, the fitness-savvy celebrity - whose claims to fame include three New York Times best-sellers and an appointment to President Barack Obama's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition - will not be talking about shedding pounds.

Smith has partnered with the Be Sickle Smart program to educate those living with sickle cell disease and their families about the risk of iron overload that can result from multiple blood transfusions.

At the Be Sickle Smart Empowerment Tour event at the Durham Marriott Convention Center on Saturday, guests can participate in educational workshops and interactive presentations with the celebrity physician, enjoy a free lunch, and get tested for iron levels. There will be activities such as Wii video games and art workshops for the event's youngest visitors. And 75 guests will win a copy of Smith's new book, "Happy: Simple Steps to Get the Most Out of Life."

The problem

Sickle cell disease is a blood disorder passed down through families that can hinder blood flow and prevent critical oxygen from reaching the body's tissues.

The disease arises when a person gets two copies of the sickle gene, one from mom and one from dad. It primarily affects African-Americans, with one in 12 carrying a single copy of the sickle trait, and one in 500 having the full-blown disease with both copies.

Other at-risk groups include Hispanics and those of Middle Eastern or Mediterranean descent.

As many as 100,000 people in the United States have the condition, reports the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Blood transfusion can help by reducing pain and other complications. However, because blood contains iron, dangerous levels can accumulate in people who receive about 10 or more transfusions. If iron reaches toxic levels, it can cause major damage, such as heart or liver disease, diabetes, increased pain or sexual dysfunction.

It's treatable

But iron overload is very treatable, Smith said.

As a result, periodic and regular testing for blood iron levels is critical.

Shenika Richardson, 32, a database administrator from Raleigh, has had more than 30 transfusions and frequently gets tested to assess her iron levels.

Because of Richardson's experiences living with sickle cell, she works on the patient advisory board for the Bridges Pointe Sickle Cell Foundation, one of the many programs in North Carolina dedicated to raising awareness and caring for those with the disease.

"I've been very fortunate with managing my disease, but I know not all patients are," she said. She advises others to "pray, remain positive, and always have hope."

An overlooked disease

Sickle cell disease is often overlooked, Smith said, and not well understood even in the medical community.

"Doctors aren't purposely neglectful," he said, "but sickle cell is not as mainstream as, say, colon or lung cancer, so they are not aware of all the issues that face patients. It's a problem."

Elaine Whitworth, director of the Bridges Pointe Foundation, agreed. "I do think it is off the radar screen," she said.

The Triangle is just one stop on Smith's nationwide tour that began in April, is scheduled to run through October, and includes Los Angeles, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and others.
