It was a pleasure for the VIP Reality Project team to sit down and everyone to meet and be inspired by Ann Curry at the NYC 140 Conference. We are really looking forward to what was an amazing interview between Ann and Josh Harris who happens to be on the Board of directors of VIP Talent Connect.

Ann Curry (born November 19, 1956) is an American television news journalist and news anchor on NBC’s morning television program Today since May 1997 and host of Dateline NBC since May 2005. Along with Lester Holt, she is the primary substitute for Brian Williams on NBC Nightly News.

Curry hosted NBC’s primetime coverage and highlights of the Live Earth concerts on July 7, 2007 and also contributed with interviews for the special with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Al Gore. Curry reported from the USS Theodore Roosevelt during the invasion of Afghanistan in November 2001, and had an exclusive interview with General Tommy Franks. She reported from Baghdad in early 2003, and then from the USS Constellation as the war in Iraq began. Ann was also the first network news anchor to report from inside the Southeast Asian tsunami zone in late 2004.

Lisa Schneiderman began her publicity career in 1994 representing high profile authors, many of whom where NY Times best-seller status. She then founded Schneiderman Public Relations,an entertainment/cause-related boutique agency in 1998, managing social and humanitarian causes and large-scale celebrity events.

CEO and Executive Producer Alycia Kaback and VIP Talent Connect Executive Lorna Napolitano with entertainer and world famous dancer MC Hammer. It really is all about who you know. The three had the opportunity to discuss social media and entertainment concerning the new VIP Reality Project at the 140 Conference in NYC.

Stanley Kirk Burrell (born March 30, 1962), best known by his stage names MC Hammer, Hammer and Hammertime, is a rapper, entertainer and dancer most popular during the late 1980s until the mid-1990s. Remembered for a rapid rise to fame before losing the majority of his fortune, he is also known for his hit records, including “U Can’t Touch This”, flamboyant dance techniques and trademark Hammer pants.
Hammer became a preacher during the late 1990s was a television show host and dance judge, is a record label CEO, and as of 2008 works as a co-creator of a dance website called DanceJam, while still performing occasionally at concerts and other social media, ministry and outreach functions. In addition, he is executive producer of his own reality show called Hammertime which airs Sundays at 10 PM EST on the A&E Network.
Hammer is considered a forefather and innovator of pop rap, and is the first hip hop artist to achieve diamond status for an album. However, due to his mainstream appeal since the late 1980s, Hammer would later be considered a sell-out rapper by many due in part to over-exposure and as a result of his changing to a grittier image as the landscape of rap changed. Nonetheless, BET ranked Hammer as the #7 “Best Dancer Of All Time”. While his talent may be denied, disputed and debated, “Vibe Presents The Best Rapper Ever Tournament” declared Hammer the 17th most favorite of all-time during the first round.

Congratulations to everyone at the 140 conference.
