JIM CARREY WROTE- AN AWARD WINNING CHILDREN'S E-BOOK!
Versions for E-Reader Devices Feature Abundant Special Effects, Original Music, and Character Voices
From PR Newswire-
How Roland Rolls , the first book by actor/artist Jim Carrey, recent winner of the 2013 Gelett-Burgess Children's Book Award, is being released on December 17th as an enhanced e-book, according to John Raatz, project manager for Carrey's Some Kind of Garden Media, publisher of the e-version and the original hardcover.
"We've produced three versions," says Raatz. "The ones for iPad and Nook will include all of the enhancements. A third version for Kindle and other e-readers is a more straightforward edition." The Apple-based version can also be read on iPads, iPhones and iPods, and on Apple computers equipped with their new iBook reader running on the recently released OS X Version 10.9 Mavericks operating system.
When Raatz says, "all of the enhancements," he's pointing to, perhaps, one of the most abundantly enhanced e-books for children yet produced. Carrey reads the book, voicing all of the characters and the majority of the sound effects. In addition, Carrey and his daughter, Jane, a singer-songwriter, perform four original, fully-produced songs that relate to the story and characters. There is also a variety of visual effects, movements and incidental characters (voiced by Carrey) that make the book a rollicking rich experience for readers aged four to eight, as well as "their grown-ups!" The songs are also available separately in the iTunes store now and soon through other e-tailers.
Carrey is just finishing work on his latest film, "Dumb and Dumber To," the long anticipated sequel to his iconic "Dumb and Dumber." On his occasional weekend shooting breaks, Carrey attended book signings for How Roland Rolls in New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Toronto, delighting thousands of supportive fans with autographs and photos.
How Roland Rolls , distributed by Perseus Distribution, has received broadly positive reviews and audience acceptance. Carrey, who has appeared in 33 feature length films, is one of the most successful actors in Hollywood.

BUFFY AND PUFFY- PLEGDE TO GET AMERICA HOME SAFE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE.
Sean "Diddy" Combs And CIROC Ultra Premium Vodka Team Up With Uber For The Holidays To Provide $1 Million-Worth Of Safe Rides Home
Nationwide pledge helps holiday revelers start the New Year safely
From PR Newswire
CIROC Ultra Premium Vodka, Sean "Diddy" Combs, and Uber give fans one million more reasons to celebrate responsibly this holiday season. Combs and the "Official Vodka of New Year's Eve" have teamed up with on-demand transportation app Uber, who will provide discounts for safe rides home on New Year's Day 2014. Throughout the remainder of 2013, consumers are urged to pledge to #CIROCthenewyear on Facebook and Twitter and make their commitment to never drink and drive. If CIROC receives 10,000 pledges with #CIROCthenewyear, then Uber will provide new Uber users with a $25 coupon code, up to a maximum total of $1,000,000. At 12:00pm EST on January 1, 2014 Combs will personally tweet and post a special code for new Uber users to redeem their discount. The rides will then be made available on a first come, first-served basis beginning at 12:00pm on January 1, 2014. Consumers will be able to sign up with their code at Uber.com.
The program, which marks the brand's sixth annual Safe Rides campaign, kicked off in Los Angeles on November 21, 2013, with a launch event inside the Variety Studio. Guests who posed for a pledge photo included Sarah Michelle Gellar, Zoe Saldana, Michael Yo, Kevin Frazier, and Thea Andrews. CIROC will also host additional pledge parties throughout the month of December in key markets including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, Washington DC and Chicago. To drive incremental awareness for the cause, CIROC, in partnership with Times Square Communications Worldwide, will also take over marquee billboards in Times Square and offer passersby a real-time opportunity to show their support. Consumers will be able to post to #CIROCthenewyear and upload a photo for a chance to appear on one of these larger than life billboards.
"New Years is all about spending time with family and friends to reflect on the past year, but more importantly, start planning for what lies ahead," said Sean "Diddy" Combs who oversees all branding and marketing for CIROC. "Helping consumers begin their New Year safely is what this program is all about – reminding them that there is a true art to responsible celebration."
To further encourage awareness, all month long Combs and various other celebrities will be surprising pedestrians by collecting pledges at undisclosed locations and participating in dedicated public service announcements. The content will be featured in the out of home advertising as well as across targeted media outlets.
The Makers of CIROC would like to thank everyone in advance for helping us reach the 1 Million dollar goal and remind everyone to celebrate responsibly this season. Whether you are attending a holiday party or just enjoying a night out with family and friends, if you are drinking be sure to designate a driver, call a cab or take public transportation to get home safely.
