(PRWEB) February 6, 2004

When “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding” star Rikki Lee Travolta takes his wedding vows on Valentine’s Day, February 14, his “I Do” will be seasoned with practice from hundreds of appearances as the groom in the longest running comedy in theater history, but this time they will be for real.

Brought to Chicago in 1997 to revitalize the “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding” franchise as its first celebrity guest star, Travolta is credited as reinventing the role of the groom. He went on to define the role in appearances throughout the world.

Based on the critical and commercial success of Travolta’s appearances throughout the United States, Mila Kunas (“That 70’s Show”), Frankie Avalon (“Grease”), New York Met Lee Mazzilli, and Joey McIntyre (New Kids on the Block, “Boston Public”) have performed in association with “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding.”

Another Path

Although he will forever be remembered as the dashing groom in “Tony n’ Tina’s,” the preparations for Travolta’s real life nuptials have followed a path more similar to another famous wedding comedy with Chicago roots: “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.”

Written by actress Nia Vardalos and produced by Rita Wilson and Oscar winner Tom Hanks, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is the highest grossing independent film of all time, generating over $ 241-million in worldwide box office and electronic media sales.

In the film, an All American man (played by John Corbett) sets out to marry a woman from a large, ethnic family (Vardalos). To get to the altar involves crossing a number of cultural barriers. For one, the groom must convert to the bride’s Orthodox religion.

Cut to Travolta’s Big Fat Real Life Wedding.

In order to have their marriage recognized by the church of his fiancé Sonia Angel Rihani, Travolta had to be baptized in the Antiochian Orthodox faith.

All Wet

In the film “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” the adult baptism provides big laughs by incorporating the use of a child’s wading pool in the church. Travolta’s real life baptism followed a similar pattern.

The similarities between Travolta’s marriage and Vardalos’ celluloid counterpart don’t stop with the baptism. Travolta has had to learn a new language – Arabian.

“Learning a new culture has been entertaining,” says Travolta with his trademark grin. His new bride has seven siblings, each with a family. The leading man has become an instant uncle to 16 nieces and nephews. It’s a role he handles with panache.

Playing Santa

When the children were gathered around the tree at Christmas raising a ruckus over Santa’s delayed arrival, Travolta quietly slipped out of the house and called as Santa on his cell phone to tell each child individually he was on his way to deliver their presents but couldn’t come until they went to sleep. There was no fuss getting the kids to bed that night.

Travolta’s fast-thinking jump into the role of Santa hints to his training in improvisational comedy.

Vardalos and Travolta are both alum of Chicago’s famed comedy center Second City. Other veterans of the Improv hub include “Saturday Night Live” star Horatio Sanz, George Wendt of “Cheers” fame, and the late Chris Farley.

Recently Travolta published his first novel, “My Fractured Life” which includes the details of his role in revitalizing the “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding” franchise, focusing heavily on his work with the Chicago company and producers Anthony and Joseph Tomaska.

TOP TEN

A surprise hit, the book has been named a Top Ten Featured Entertainer Biography by Amazon.com and will be made into a film.

Not surprisingly, Amazon.com reports the mutual popularity of the DVD “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” with Travolta’s book among online customers.

“Travolta has a great way of looking at Hollywood and the lifestyle of show business,” states the Spokane Spokesman Review Book Club.

Reviews at BarnesandNobel.com call the book “groundbreaking.” The bookseller ranks it a popular purchase among those buying “Running With Scissors,” “The Da Vinci Code,” and “The Secret Life of Bees” – which are also set to be translated to film.

“Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding” opened Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1988 in New York City and has been staged in over 100 cities worldwide including Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Maui in the United States; as well as in Canada, Japan, and Australia.

The Tomaskas most recently produced “The Rocky Horror Show” in Chicago. Following their success bringing in Travolta as a celebrity star for “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding,” the producer brothers rotated guest stars Jerry Springer, Mancow Muller, and Barry Williams into the “Rocky Horror” cast.

IT’S NOT BUTTER

Like the character of the groom that he made famous on stage in “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding,” Travolta will walk down the isle this Valentine’s day in a white tuxedo. However his hair has changed dramatically since he first donned the white threads of eternal groom Tony Nunzio.

Sporting shoulder length bleached blond hair grown for his role as legendary lover Sir Lancelot in the upcoming DVD “Camelot Excalibur,” Travolta has managed to break the comparisons to relation John Travolta in exchange for those to fellow model and spokesperson Fabio.

Fabio and Travolta take the comparisons of what About Chicago describes as their mutual “long golden hair, athletic builds, and porcelain features” in good humor. In November the two fashion archetypes posed together for pictures in Chicago during the launch of a new clothing line.

Struck by the family-like face-to-face similarity with Fabio, Travolta was also asked by Fabio’s representatives to pose for pictures with the romance cover model’s cousin who was on hand for the promotional event.

“They could be brothers,” reflected Travolta’s manager Drake Miezel of the three men.

Fabio has been described as the “sexiest man in the world” by Cosmopolitan. Travolta has been called “tall, dark, and stunningly handsome” by Playbill Online’s Critic’s Circle.

How Sweet

A Valentine’s Day wedding was a natural choice for Travolta, his bride, and their daughter Jessica Sara Rihani Travolta. They got engaged on Sweetest Day.

The couple met when Sonia enrolled daughter Jessica in a fine arts seminar Travolta was conducting.

“Our eyes met and time stopped. It was like we’d already met,” Travolta explains. It turns out they had.

Only after dating and becoming engaged, they realized one day while comparing stories that they had met in a chance encounter 7 years before – when Travolta had first come to Chicago to star in “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding.”

“It’s like I’ve spent my whole life looking for her,” says Travolta.

His Kind of Town

Travolta is ranked with Donnie Osmond, soap opera actor Brian Lane Green, and original Broadway star Bill Hutton as one of the preferred stars for productions of the musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” staged around the country.

Last year he made headlines as the first member of his family to appear as Danny Zuko in the musical “Grease” since the 1977 film.

He agreed to the guest starring appearance in order to raise money to bring fine arts programs to underprivileged youths. In recognition, Round Lake mayor and former Chicago Bear Bill Gentes named a holiday in Travolta’s honor.

National upscale fashion retailer Carson Pirie Scott, a member company of Saks Incorporated, played host to Travolta as a part of its Social Expo, Saturday, November 8.

As a part of their “History in the Making” season, the Chicago Bulls hosted Travolta as a courtside guest and ambassador of Chicago’s entertainment community at the United Center for its January 9 competition against the visiting Portland Trailblazers.

Travolta’s book features cover art exclusively in the team colors of the Chicago Bulls.

Upon return from honeymooning in Mexico, Travolta will look to take the stage again.

“I’d like to do what I can to bring recognition to all the fine theaters in Chicago,” says Travolta. “It’s because of this city that I found my wife. I’m the luckiest man in the world.”

The book “My Fractured Life” by Rikki Lee Travolta and the DVD “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” are available online at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com (bn.com), and BooksAMillion.com (BAMM.com), and can be ordered through any Borders Books or Barnes and Nobel retail outlet.

The “Camelot: Excalibur” DVD starring Travolta will be released later this year in cooperation with Abracadabra Productions.

“Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding” plays nightly at Pipers Alley, 230 W. North Avenue. Call 312-664-8844 for show times, ticket prices, and current and upcoming guest stars.

Skokie, IL (PRWEB) February 6, 2004

Illinois’ Skokie Public Library, 5215 Oakton Street, has ordered an inventory of the popular novel “My Fractured Life” for its adult literature collection.

The novel, named a Top 10 Featured Entertainer Biography by Amazon.com, is written by Skokie resident Rikki Lee Travolta.

Slated for adaptation into film, “My Fractured Life” has been compared in reviews to the bestseller “Running With Scissors” by Augusten Burroughs and “Postcards From the Edge” by Carrie Fisher

An article in Indiana’s Tri-State Today identified “My Fractured Life” as one of the holiday season’s high demand gift purchases, comparable to the craze for Cabbage Patch Kids in 1983, Tickle-Me Elmo in 1996, and Michael Jordan signature shoes throughout the 1980s.

Leading bookseller Barnes & Nobel’s Internet site barnesandnobel.com sold out of its stock of “My Fractured Life” for the fifth time the week of Christmas forcing a rush inventory restock in order to guarantee delivery to customers by December 24.

A front page article in the leading U.K. newsgroup publication 999 Today likens Travolta’s “My Fractured Life” with New York Times bestsellers “The Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown, “Bleachers” by John Grisham, and “The Kennedy Curse” by Edward Klein while reporting on the book’s 97,000 point jump in sales in the period of one week.

“My Fractured Life” is described as the story of a promising young actor turned suicide victim as told from the perspective of the fallen star who discovers the body.

In addition to the details of life in Hollywood for actors struggling to make names for themselves, the book chronicles life among the cast of Chicago’s “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding.”

Brought to Chicago in 1997 to revitalize the “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding” franchise as its first celebrity guest star, Travolta is credited as reinventing the role of the groom. He went on to define the role in appearances throughout the world – making it the longest running stage comedy in history.

Travolta is ranked with Donnie Osmond, soap opera actor Brian Lane Green, and original Broadway star Bill Hutton as one of the preferred stars for productions of the musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” staged around the country.

Now that he’s found his bride, Travolta’s “Joseph” appearances will be closer to home – a benefit for Chicago audiences. As a husband and father, Travolta expects to be doing more acting and promotional work throughout Chicago and less traveling.

Last year he made headlines as the first member of his family to appear as Danny Zuko in the musical “Grease” since the 1977 film.

He agreed to the guest starring appearance in order to raise money to bring fine arts programs to underprivileged youths. In recognition, Round Lake mayor and former Chicago Bear Bill Gentes named a holiday in Travolta’s honor.

Are you so OVERWORKED, totally STRESSED, or WORRIED that you are heading for a heart attack? If you’ve had a heart attack, or don’t want to have your first one, then perhaps Brad Henson’s new breakthrough strategies, secrets and tips to creating a longer, fuller, more meaningful life is EXACTLY what you’re looking for.

The following easy-to-use “Six Tips for Relieving Stress Today” are excepts from his book “Heart Attack Survivor – a field guide” and will help you deal with the time robbers(c) and stress monkers’(c) in your life.

Have you ever seen the sign above a coworker’s desk that reads, “A Rush on your part does not necessitate a rush on mine”? How many times have you been totally immersed on a work or home project, only to be interrupted by a boss, co-worker, or family member— wanting you to drop everything you are doing to help THEM get their project completed.

How many times have you had people walk into your cubicle, or office unannounced, or ring you up on the phone, or email you a note…to “just take a moment of your time” to answer that really simple question? More times than you want to remember?

Once your concentration has been broken, it may take great effort, lots of stress, and many minutes, if not hours to get back “in the zone”…that you were so abruptly shaken from to get back on track. What right do they have to think that their problem is greater than yours? If it is your boss, or supervisor, they may have all the rights and privileges of the job title to ask for your assistance. If it is your wife, or significant other, you may consider this person as important as your boss and may voluntarily render yourself to their needs. When it comes to everyone else you should be able to politely say “don’t bother me with your ridiculous issues and feel really good about it.

I call these types of people Stress Mongers(c), or Time Robbers(c). Don’t get sucked into their own agenda’s if it does not benefit you directly. Remember, “a rush on their part does not necessitate a rush on yours”, and can, and WILL add stress and poor feelings toward the offender if you allow them to come into your life unannounced.

How do you stop them from this dastardly act of disrespect? There are a number of things you can do. I offer up these suggestive remedies in two parts: Telephone interruptions, Email interruptions. These are only a few of the literally hundreds of ways to stop people from robbing you of your time, and adding stress to your life. You may add your own tips and tricks to this list in the days, weeks, and years to come, to help you deal with these Stress Mongers(c), or Time Robbers(c).

Local Health Practitioner Creates Anti-Aging Formula.

What do members of the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, St. Louis Rams, Mr. Universe, 5-time world powerlifting champion and thousands of people from all walks of life have in common? Hgh Plus.

Hgh Plus is an all-natural formula created 5-years ago by Dr. David Orman. Dr. Orman was inundated with requests for a substance called Human Growth Hormone or hGH because of an eye-opening article published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine several years ago. The crux of the article stated that hGH can do the following:

Reduce body fat without dieting

Improve muscle mass without exercise

Enhance libido

Improve memory

Strengthen the cardiovascular, skeletal and respiratory systems and

May be the Most Effective Anti-Aging therapy of all time!

For such a conservative, well-respected medical journal to make such statements certainly caught many people?s attention, including Dr. Orman. After much painstaking research and effort, an all natural substance was created that allowed the pituitary gland (located within the brain which produces hGH) to be stimulated and release its own human growth hormone. People did not need injections or a prescription and best of all, it is about 1/20 the price of the prescription medication. But does it work?

Clinical trials were performed on Hgh Plus and showed the product to be highly effective and very safe, raising IGF-1 (a marker for human growth hormone) a whopping 71% in only 60 days! Trials were conducted by one of only 100 MDs world-wide who is board certified as an Anti-Aging Specialist. There are now many health care providers supporting this outstanding formula.

Dr. Orman was asked about creating the formula and replied, ?My patients wanted something safe and affordable. About 5 years ago, nothing was on the market which satisfied our high standards. Now after so much research and time, Hgh Plus is setting the standards. My patients are thrilled, as am I.?

It is a pleasure to see one of our residents contributing to this expanding health field in such as favorable way. Anti-Aging medicine is rapidly coming to the forefront and formulas such as Hgh Plus are leading the way.

For more information, contact 800-931-6396 or visit their site at http://www.hghplus.net.

Gary’s teamed up with Pure Rush and its founder, Kristina Pluta. She said besides bringing celebs, they also wrangle gorgeous women for the event. Pure Rush is the only brand to host VIP parties at every major sporting event in the past 3 years

“I think one of our secrets is we usually have some kind of wrangler go around town and they find some 300 to 500 gorgeous females,” Pluta said, adding that they will allow those women in the party for free and that they sometimes hire models.

As part of its extensive marketing efforts, the Baeur’s Pure Rush team have developed several websites.

PURE RUSH, has been named “best party in sports,” by numerous national and local media and considered the only party to attend on Thursday night! Dozens of invited celebrity guests are expected to be making appearances at Bauer’s hosts Pure Rush.

“These ’see and be seen’ high-profile parties have become almost as popular as the featured sporting event” said Kristina Pluta, founder of Pure Rush and a veteran event and sports marketer. “Generating an infectious excitement among fans and adding a touch of glamour to the week’s festivities. We look forward to our partnership with Bauer’s and bringing PURE RUSH to Miami.”

Glitz and glam parties of this caliber have become a compelling element around other key sporting events because they offer unique entertainment value to fans outside the action on the field. “Our company has pioneered some of the most creative and exciting parties in the sporting world. We pride ourselves on being able to cater to celebrities and athletes, while still giving fans an opportunity to be amongst the sports elite in an amazing, red carpet, event environment,” added Pluta.

Imagine…just for a moment…

You are at work, head down in that all-important project your boss requested you to finish.

The phone on your desk rings. You put down your pen.

Picking up the phone; you hear your neighbor’s voice on the other end.

You think, “this is strange” she NEVER calls me at work.”

In a broken, nervous voice she says in a panic”. Your dad had a heart attack.

You need to come to the hospital.

Right NOW.

The blood drains from your face. You start to shake.

A bead of sweat rolls off your forehead, slowly falling to the tabletop below.

You say to yourself, “This cant be happening. “He was in great shape”.

You catch yourself. Why did I just say that?

What you meant to say was, “He IS in great shape”.

Your mind wanders.

“How. When. Where?”

The rest is a blur!

You don’t remember the drive to the hospital.

You enter the lobby. Down the long hallway in the distance, you see what looks like a doctor walking toward you.

His look is one youll never forget.

Hi, this is Brad again, Editor of Crow Publishing and author of “Heart Attack Survivor – a field guide.

Have you seen it?

It’s all over the news today.

There is no way it could have slipped by you.

It’s been in newspapers, on TV, radio, and in magazines.

It’s the number one killer of men (and has been for years).

Now, it’s the number one killer of women.

It is really scary to think that someone YOU know Or THEY know has had this happen to them.

Think for a moment: Do you know someone who is headed for a heart attack? They are very easy to spot. Their faces are red from anger. They have a tendency to be short- tempered.

How about when they get behind the wheel of their car?

Do they have road rage when someone cuts them off on the highway?

Imagine your friends, loved ones, or co-workers.

Is any one of them ready to “go Postal” in your work place?

How about when you all are standing around the water cooler?

Have you heard of someone who is “freak’n out far to often?

If you know anyone that might be “boiling” just below the surface, and is displaying the above traits, then you could be doing them a great (and possibly a life-saving service), by giving them the gift of “Heart Attack Survivor, a field guide”.

In times like these, it’s no time to be embarrassed.

What Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper said holds true today.

“It’s much easier to apologize than it is to get permission”.

If you feel so inclined, and know of someone that might benefit from learning techniques for lowering their stress levels, and possibly avoiding a heart attack, then please forward this email to them.

Readers that have praised this book:

Dick Butkus, NFL Hall of Famer and Chicago Bear Legend has graciously said about “Heart Attack Survivor.:

“I picked up your book at Steve Thomas BMW last Thurs. Friday I had a flight from LAX to Pittsburgh and couldn’t put the book down the whole trip! So much of the “stuff” one goes thru after an attack or even the 5 way bypass I experienced was dealt with in a very thought provoking manner. It is Sunday night and I have tried a few of the suggestions and can honestly say that there has been a change in my attitude in two short days. I have roughly 787 marbles to go!

Thank you for reminding me to make them all count”.

Dr. Richard Carlson, Author of “Don’t sweat the small stuff”:

“Practical, helpful, and full of great life-affirming advice. Anyone with a heart, healthy or not, will enjoy this book!”

Ira Lovitch from Los Angeles.:

“Like Chicken Soup for the Soul, Only Tastier!”

Candy Finn of Ventura:

“I only wish there had been a book like this

when my dad had his heart attack”.

For a moment, Just imagine…life without your family, your friends or your co-workers!

Please pass this on to someone you care about.

Thanks,

Brad

(PRWEB) April 30, 2006

Hilton and her sister, Nicky, are known for their jet-set lifestyles. Paris in particular has been trying to build herself into a marketable brand much like Donald Trump, claiming she must be regarded as a role model.

She has been widely discussed by tabloids. In 2000, the National Enquirer reported a casual friendship with Leonardo DiCaprio as something far more intimate. She has also been linked with other young celebrities, including actor Edward Furlong, boxer Oscar De La Hoya, model Jason Shaw, Chicago Bears football player Brian Urlacher, and singers Rob Mills, Deryck Whibley, and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.

The cover of the March 2005 issue of PlayboyIn the fall of 2004, Hilton released a book, Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose, which brings full color photographs of her and gives her tips on the dos and don’ts of living as an heiress. Hilton was reportedly given a $ 100,000 advanced payment for this book.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 28, 2011

Pro basketball player, best-selling author, psychologist, gay activist and consultant John Amaechi will address the profound societal results of meaningful and responsible partnerships at IEG’s Return on Engagement: Sponsorship’s Impact on Business conference.

In remarks entitled: “Corporate Social Responsibility and Sports Sponsorship: Perfectly Aligned or Diametrically Opposed?” Amaechi, founder and CEO of Amaechi Performance Systems, will examine whether “sport for good” programs actually work and address how CSR objectives can be incorporated into sponsorships, as well as how organizations can satisfy the need and expectations of all societal stakeholders.

In addition to consulting with medium to large business, educational and philanthropic institutions, Amaechi leads his own charitable organization as well as serves as an Amnesty Int’l ambassador and a London 2012 diversity board member.

As it has for the past 27 years, IEG’s sponsorship conference–the world’s oldest and largest such event–will again bring together more than 1,000 marketers focused on building mutually beneficial partnerships with sports properties, entertainment concerns, local to global events and nonprofit organizations.

But business as usual, it’s not. The event’s concentration in 2011 will be on the world’s leading companies and brands and the ability of partnerships to bring them to the top and keep them there. That emphasis is reflected in the roster of keynoter speakers, panelists and discussion leaders.

IEG’s 2011 speakers are world class. Many are CMOs and CEOs. All are thought-leaders. And without exception, every one of them is successfully using partnerships as engagement platforms, growing their businesses in these volatile, complex times.

In a brand new format for the conference, most senior-level speakers will share their success stories–critical to the P&L of anyone buying, selling or managing sponsorship–in keynote addresses, immediately followed by a panel discussion that harvests insights and takeaways and applies them across markets and categories.

The conference–Return on Engagement: Sponsorship’s Impact on Business–also has a new venue this year, the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers, in the heart of the city’s Michigan Avenue corridor. The conference begins on Sunday, March 13 and ends Wednesday, March 16.
