Kelly Cutrone: the Lady in Black
Fabulosity- Kelly Cutrone: The Lady in Black Written by Written by Corbin Chamberlin Most know Kelly Cutrone as the “fashion-PR-vampire-like” character on MTV’s The Hills and The City. Known for her decisive work ethics and habit of mutilating interns, Kelly is a legend in the fashion community. She began her company People’s Revolution in 1996; It has since grown into one of the largest PR firms in the world. People’s Revolution brands emerging designers and works with established designers like Chado Ralph Rucci. People’s Revolution is also responsible for producing client shows during New York fashion week. Under all that black Maison Martin Margiela badass attitude is a hardworking mother with pure motives. Many thoughts come to mind when thinking about Kelly: intense, spiritual and real. What you see is what you get. I have never been so excited for a book to be published than I have been for If You Have To Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You. Kelly tells tales of the dog-eat-dog fashion business as well as offers real advice for “young women and gay boys” like how to create a personal brand and how sometimes you have to fake it to make it. When I met Cutrone while in New York, I instantly knew that she deserved her own TV show. Now the public has the grand pleasure of seeing the real (and sometimes unpolished) world of fashion PR, Bravo’s Kell On Earth. This is not a show about lunching ladies or prancing blondes. -

The Reality of Reality Television: Does Reality TV Influence Local Crime Rates?
The Reality of Reality Television: Does Reality TV Influence Local Crime Rates? Lesley Chiou* and Mary Lopez Department of Economics, Occidental College, Los Angeles, CA Abstract Overnight celebrity status of reality-based television cast members and filming locations may result in negative outcomes such as increased crime. Using a popular reality show filmed in Laguna Beach, we employ a difference-in-differences approach to analyze changes in the city’s crime rates. JEL classification: A10, J01 Keywords: media, crime rates, television * Corresponding author. Department of Economics, Occidental College, 1600 Campus Road, Los Angeles, CA 90041, Tel: (323) 259-2875, Fax: (323) 259-2704, Email: lchiou at oxy dot edu. 1. Introduction For the past decade, reality television has been on the rise with networks across the spectrum expanding their reality show programming (Levin, 2007). Reality television refers to a genre of television programs that depicts “real people in live situations”.1 Networks such as MTV and Bravo have devoted an overwhelming share of their television lineups to reality shows. For example, in 2008, MTV launched 16 new reality-based shows. While reality shows have become more and more popular, such shows have also been subjected to intense criticism, being blamed for everything from an increase in plastic surgeries to perpetuation of stereotypes to an increase in substance abuse (Healy, 2004). In 2006, Laguna Beach residents expressed concerns that the highly successful MTV- sponsored reality show “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County” was responsible for tarnishing the city’s image of culture and beauty. The show followed the lives of a group of affluent teenagers in Laguna Beach, California, and depicted all aspects of their social circle, including personal conflicts, partying, and shopping. -

Prweek's Senior Editors Analyze the Attributes of the 25 Communications
PRWeek’s senior editors analyze the attributes of the 25 communications big hitters ranked on the Power List 2010 Power ow do you define “power”? Without getting pretentious, Hthe ultimate definition is that of an overarching control granted by someone’s position in office, such as displayed by a president or ruler. But we must remember: “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts abso- lutely” and that, consequently, “With SAKUMA AP/WIDE WORLD PHOTOS/PAUL power, comes responsibility.” Some synonyms for “power” include authoritative, commanding, dominant, and controlling; or dynamic terms such as energy and force; or forward-looking words such as potential. In business terms, it is the “ability to cause or prevent an action” or “make things happen,” or the “discretion” to act or not act. The PRWeek Power List 2010 repre- sents all these facets. Sure, size is impor- tant. And high profile often means influential.
