VIP Talent Connect CEO Alycia Kaback was spotted recently in NYC with morning anchor Pat Kierman. It was all talk on politics and who is connected to who. Alycia Kaback getting ready to be “The New Connector”.

Pat Kiernan’s career in broadcast journalism began while he was attending the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Business in Edmonton, Canada. “I was offered a weekend job at 96K-Lite FM,” he explains. “It was a ‘lite rock’ station that didn’t want to devote much airtime to news, so my hourly updates were supposed to be 96 seconds long. I learned a lot about writing newscasts that get straight to the point.”
Pat has tried to deliver news in a similarly pointed manner throughout his career. Upon the completion of his Bachelor of Commerce degree, he accepted a full-time job as a general assignment reporter for CFRN television in Canada’s fourth-largest TV market.

While at the CTV network-affiliated station, he anchored a weekly business news magazine program and at various times worked as the station’s assistant news director, assignment editor, producer and news anchor.

Prior to joining Time Warner and NY1, he was the Senior Producer of the prime-time newscast “ITV News at Ten” on CITV, one of Canada’s satellite superstations, where his duties included an on-air role as host of “Your Money,” a popular segment he created.

Pat and his wife Dawn moved to New York in March of 1996. He joined the Time Warner family as the anchor and producer of the Fortune Business Report, and was named NY1’s morning anchor in 1997.

About VIP Talent Connect

We invite you to join us and have discussions with the VIP Talent Connect guests in this unprecedented gathering of powerful entertainers, artists, producers and style gurus.

There are many different avenues to enter the entertainment business. Models can attend “free” open calls at various agencies in any major city. However, many persons interested in a modeling career are not aware of exactly what is involved in attending “free” open calls. Many models are confused at an open call when certain less than reputable companies demand upfront fees for a variety of usually unneeded items, especially “professional” photographs.

Against the Grain helps it’s clients to ask tough, provocative questions, and then connects them with the Rock Star people, partners and causes needed to build the bridge, and cross the gap to attain their goals. It then also provides the solutions and services they need to execute and profit through that access, with best of breed specialties in business development, business strategy, Internet marketing and search engine optimization.

The VIP Talent Connect crowd had the wonderful opportunity to sit down and interview Ivanka Trump at the 140 conference in NYC. The upcoming interview will be available on the next episode of VIP NYC. It is definitely something you want to check out.

Ivanka Maria Trump is an American businesswoman, socialite, heiress, and fashion model. The daughter of Ivana and Donald Trump, she is Executive Vice President of Development & Acquisitions at The Trump Organization. Before joining the family business she worked for Forest City Enterprises,[2] and joined forces with Dynamic Diamond Corp., a diamond trading company sightholder, to design and introduce a line of jewelry at the brand’s first flagship retail store called ‘Ivanka Trump’ on Madison Ave.

Great job to everyone at the VIP Reality Project.

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.

VIP Talent Connect Event Director featuring a beautiful design from Jules Smith Designs featured on Life.com. It was the hottest event in town as the stars came out to celebrate Corbin Bleu’s unveiling at Tony Di Napoli.

Gina Nigrelli’s JULES SMITH collection is reminiscent of influential runway looks of decades past, infused with modern day influences. Gina’s aesthetic marries her unique contemporary point-of-view with the classic statement-making trends of the 70’s and 80’s. She’s identified the free-spirited essence of the 70’s and the glamour and excess of the 80’s as her brand inspirations. JULES SMITH styles include bold cuffs, star motifs, engraved monochromatic animal print pieces, chain link silhouettes, vintage charms, rings and bangles.
“My collection pays homage to the iconic trends in fashion,” reflects Nigrelli. “One strong accessory, such as a dominant necklace, cuff or bold pair of earrings, completes a look that is timeless and effortlessly chic.”

Great job and everyone at VIP Talent Connect looks forward to more from Danielle. We know one day you will be on the cover of Vogue Magazine.

“BODIE is shooting a major motion picture – he shot yesterday and today – its called ‘Necklace’ – its shooting up at Columbia University.
BODIE is also in Maxim this month and next month” – Thanks VIP Ryan C. V.P Models International New Faces Division

“Bodie” real name Matt Bodenheimer came to our office on May 18, 2009. Bodie is from Virginia. He attended his first VIP Talent Connect event July 2009 where he met Ryan Colby. This is what Bodie wrote in his paragraph on why he wants to get in the industry one year ago:

“Though my own personal journey, I’ve learned that entertainment industry is anything but predictable. There is no given or specific path on how to make or break your career. Although I have learned many things from my experiences, I feel that I have only gotten my feet wet in terms of my goals and capabilities for the future. This year, I want to get my food in the door and take my acting career to the next level. I see myself no constricting my acting opportunities solely on the DC area. I hope to be working on more professional projects and be able to get my name out. I want to find more work, go on more auditions, work in DC, New York, and Philadelphia because I know the harder I work, it is only a matter of time before I can get my career rolling. In one year, I see myself surrounded by people who believe in my abilities and are will to help me find the opportunities and I in return am willing to put the effort to try my hardest to put myself out there and not miss out on opportunities. If there is one think I have learned, it is that opportunities don’t come to you, you have to go out and find them.” Congratulations “Matt” we always knew with the right connections you had what it takes to be a star!
