REAL NEWS: AMI QUIETLY THREATENS WOMAN FOR PRES. TRUMP.
Karen McDougal has been free to respond to press inquiries about her relationship with President Trump since 2016. Thus, the suggestion that AMI "silenced" her is completely without merit. Rather, Karen signed a contract that gave AMI the editorial discretion to publish her life story, and she promised to write health and fitness columns and appear on the cover of two magazines. To date, AMI has published 20 of Karen's columns in print, all of which were syndicated on other entertainment properties, four stories on www.muscleandfitness.com, in addition to a behind-the-scenes video shoot, and a story on www.mensfitness.com which we are very proud of. In addition, Karen has appeared on the cover of Muscle & Fitness Hers, which was the highest selling issue for 2017. She was also slotted to appear on the cover of Men's Journal, a magazine with a circulation of 1,250,000, but she has not responded to repeated requests to schedule that photo shoot and through her attorney she indicated she believed she was not being paid enough to do all the work she had been asked to do.
We have been very proud of Karen McDougal and our work with her. The relationship has produced good journalism and content for our publications. And until very recently, it was our understanding that Karen was satisfied with our editorial approach to her work with AMI's publications. Her lawsuit is the first time AMI has learned of her desire to go a different direction. AMI has a valid contract with Ms. McDougal and we look forward to reaching an amicable resolution satisfactory to her and to AMI.
A MUSICAL BAND OF ZOMBIES RULE BILLBOARD'S TOP 20.
In 2008, Hollywood Undead's explosive, platinum selling debut album Swan Songs rose from the streets of Tinseltown, delivering a raw, edgy mix of rock, hip-hop and metalcore. Building an enthusiastic fan base through social media, the band—whose members wore stylized masks on stage—grew to include six members: J-Dog, Tha Producer, Charlie Scene, Johnny 3 Tears, Funny Man and Da Kurlzz.
On May 11, Interscope/UMe celebrates Swan Songs' tenth anniversary with the album's first-ever vinyl release, in a specially packaged, two-LP edition, as well as a limited edition, two-LP set on 140-gram blue-vinyl. Only 500 copies of the blue-vinyl version will be pressed and available exclusively from the online retailer uDiscover.
The 14-song album encapsulates the brash, rebellious attitude that's kept Hollywood Undead going ever since. Throughout Swan Songs, Hollywood Undead deliver sharply humorous raps that slash at the jugular of mainstream pop culture, with tracks like "No. 5," "Undead," "Sell Your Soul" and "California" reflecting a dark, transgressive aesthetic that comments on their hometown's depravity.
Despite the controversy and threats of censorship that accompanied Swan Songs' release, the album reached No. 22 on the Billboard Top 200 and spent more than a year and a half on the album chart. It also proved to be the kickoff for a long and productive career that's established Hollywood Undead as a reliably popular act, spawning the successful subsequent albums American Tragedy, Notes from the Underground, Day of the Dead and Five.
Now, with this anniversary release of the album that started it all, the Hollywood Undead experience is more compelling than ever on heavy-duty vinyl!

MAJOR AND CABLE NETWORKS- NEED TO READ THIS GEORGETOWN STUDY!
Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business and emotion measurement leader Canvs today announced a joint study on how television show audience Emotional Reactions (ERs) impact the following week's live airing viewership. The study -- Reacting to Actors, Characters, and Programs: Social TV Content and Television Viewing Behavior -- found that certain viewer ERs in response to talent can predict an increase in live tune-in the following episode.
The study was led by David Schweidel, professor of marketing, Georgetown McDonough, who will be incorporating the Canvs emotion measurement dashboard into his course, "Leveraging Social Media." Georgetown McDonough is the first partner in Canvs' new Academic Partnership Program, which launched in fall 2017, and focuses on building strategic partnerships between the emotion measurement experts at Canvs and key marketing research and psychology professors at key top-tier universities. For more information or to be considered for the program, please contact marketing@canvs.tv.
"Talent not only drives emotions, but also live viewer tune-in week over week," said Schweidel. "Further, there is a sustained effect of talent-driven ERs increasing live and time-shifted viewership over multiple weeks."
With appointment viewing on the decline, it's more important than ever for networks to understand what is driving live viewing. The study looked at 621 episodes across 55 primetime scripted programs across broadcast networks (ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, The CW) and spanning genres (Action/Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy). All programs aired Q1 2017 (January - March).
Key Findings
- Show-specific ERs have a positive impact on live viewing.
- Talent-related ERs had twice the impact as general emotional reactions, but much less common.
- In one example, NBC's This Is Us enjoyed more than a 10 percent increase in live viewers from episode 17 to 18 thanks to a spike in total ERs driven by talent.
- Furthermore, there is a sustained effect over multiple weeks, with talent-driven ERs increasing live and time-shifted viewership over the following three to four weeks.

"This study proves emotions not only drive increased live viewership week over week, but also improve the number of time-shifted viewers in the first three days after a show airing," said Jared Feldman, CEO at Canvs. "With OTT and subscription services on the rise, there's a strong indication audience's Emotional Reactions will align with subscription retention as well."
Canvs was founded in 2014 to help media companies inform their TV programming results from reactions on Twitter. Today, with API access to YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and with their own API, Canvs is empowers media companies, technology platforms, brands and agencies to decode the troves of social banter across platforms. Companies that trust Canvs for emotion analytics include: Netflix, FOX, NBC, Viacom, Warner Brothers, Sony Entertainment, Initiative, Lionsgate, Pilgrim Studios, PopSugar, StyleHaul, Creative Artist Agency, Assembly, and 360i, among countless more.

CELEBRTIY Q AND A: LADY CHAMPION BOXER CRIS "CYBORG" VENANCIO!
In early December, I was at the Mia St. John Foundation fundraiser gala,at the 10e eatery in Downtown Los Angeles. I asked the Brazilian-American UFC champion, if she went to prison to get her plethora of shoulder tattoos? She seems stunned at the remark. She even looks at her right shoulder artwork.
She just smiled and answered, in a thick Sofia Vergara style accent,"No" she shrugged "I'm just tough." Then, she playfully throws a few quick, but powerful punches. Her shadow boxing is so brief, I could feel the air from her phantom blows, from just a few feet away.
Later that night,I asked Cyborg-How will she do against her next opponent- Holly Holm? The woman that defeated and pretty much ended Ronda Roussey's big time fight career. She again struggled to understand my English and sweetly said,"I'll see. I'll do my best. It WILL be competitive."
