My interview with Russell Simmons began as a conversation about Simmons’s various businesses, including his latest fashion venture, Argyle Culture. The PR.com interview with Russell Simmons quickly evolved into a philosophical dialogue about the media mogul’s devotion to yoga, a vegan diet and a deep rooted belief in spirituality and showing compassion for all livings ...

I happened to stumble upon an article today written and posted on the MTV.com rap blog, called rapfix.mtv.com and saw that MTV quoted my interview with rapper and actor Ice-T substancially throughout an article announcing that he and wife Coco had just renewed their wedding vows. Perhaps renewing their vows was well timed to coincide ...

PR.com (Allison Kugel): Ice, you’re quoted as saying that your new show on E!, Ice Loves Coco, is about how Coco runs your life. How is Coco running your life?
Ice-T: Behind the scenes Coco has actually been my personal assistant, similar to Sharon Osbourne and Ozzie, running all my businesses, all the logistics of tours and all that. Everything that I do other than act, Coco’s on the phone making all those deals happen and doing everything that she’s doing with her career, simultaneously. So I’ve got the easy job. I just go out and do the work and Coco handles all the business behind the scenes.
PR.com: Coco, does everyone underestimate you?
Coco Austin: I think so. I think [people] really haven’t seen the true Coco. This show is what it’s all about. You’re going to see the family side of Coco, the loving side of Coco and the goofy side of Coco. I think that’s the key here. People just see me as a model and as the party girl because the only time paparazzi are out is usually when we go to red carpet events and you’re wearing crazy outfits and going to the after-parties. They don’t see what I do on a normal, regular basis.

My entire life breaking the typical rules of how to get ahead, “make it,” or achieve a career goal as always suited me best. Perhaps it is my personal destiny in this lifetime to have to find innovative ways around conventional rules, but that is how I have always lived. The road less traveled… that is ...

My interview with television host Maria Menounos was a fun conversation where we connected on so many different levels. Maria was promoting her new book, The EveryGirl’s Guide to Life, but she was open and willing to answer questions on a wide variety of topics, including: her romantic relationship, her family’s life as Greek immigrants, ...

Brittny and Lisa Gastineau or “The Gastineau Girls” if you followed their New York City-based mother/daughter exploits on the E! Network several years back, epitomize socialite glamour, something that I rarely identify with. However, I have to say that when I interviewed Lisa and Brittny to help them promote their HSN jewelry line, Gastineau Glamour, ...

Right before the holidays in December 2010 I sat down for an intimate and lengthy interview with Emmy award winning veteran character actor, Joe Pantoliano, or “Joey Pants” as he is affectionately referred to. Joe, who played sociopathic gangster Ralph Cifaretto to perfection on the HBO series, The Sopranos, was hiding a dark secret during ...

Beauty (PR) Public Relations and getting media exposure for a beauty brand is all about what sets a beauty brand or beauty product apart, not what makes the product fit into the fold of other beauty products that are currently on the market. If you take a moment to think about what makes it into ...
