New York Media Looks to Eileen Koch for Insight on Blue Ivy's Birth

2012-01-09T17:30:00.000-08:00

Jay-Z dropped a lullaby for his new baby girl Monday called "Glory," complete with vocals from Blue Ivy Carter, his new bundle of joy.

"The most amazing feeling I feel/Words can't describe what a feeling, for real/Baby I'll paint the sky blue, My greatest creation was you," the Brooklyn-born hip-hop star raps in the track, released on his website, LifeandTimes.com.

In the song, which ends with a wail by his new baby, Jay-Z reveals that he and superstar wife Beyonce endured an agonizing miscarriage and painful fertility problems before their child's Saturday arrival.

"Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/We was afraid you disappeared/But nah, baby you magic," he sings, also revealing that the child, whom he calls "B.I.C." in the song, was "made in Paris."

The baby's name was confirmed by fellow friend and actress Gwyneth Paltrow on Twitter and swiftly became a trending topic on the social media site.

Beyonce, 30, and Jay-Z, 42, married in 2008, and the "Single Ladies" singer was reported multiple times in the past two years to have been pregnant.

But Jay-Z's lyrics in the new song on Monday were thought to be the first time the couple had publicly spoken of previous pregnancies and a miscarriage.

Eileen Koch CEO of Eileen Koch Public Relations - who has done publicity for Jay-Z's 40/40 club - shot down the idea that "Glory" was an attempt to divert attention from reports that Lenox Hill Hospital was on "lockdown" to families of other newborns when Beyonce checked in on Friday.

"They had to block it off!" Koch said. "They're a very powerful couple and people go crazy when it comes to celebrities; this was about safety."

His tribute

Some excerpts from Jay-Z's revealing song "Glory," about his newborn daughter:

"Flase dreams and false starts/
All made better by the sound of your heart/
All the pain
of the last time/
I prayed so hard it was the last time."

"You're mama
said that you
danced for her/
Did you wiggle your hands for her?"

"God makes no mistakes, I made a few/
Rough sledding here and there, but I
made it through/
I wreak havoc on the world, get ready
for part two/
A younger, faster me."

Eileen Koch Featured as Expert Source in CNN Article

2011-12-28T11:06:00.000-08:00

(CNN) -- As fast as Charlie Sheen fell from Hollywood's good graces at the start of 2011, he made his comeback even faster.

Thanks in large part to his public apology at the 63rd Emmy Awards, Sheen will welcome the new year with a clean slate -- and a new TV show slated to premiere next summer.

But it wasn't tiger blood that allowed the self-proclaimed warlock to turn his life around so quickly. It was the magic of celebrity.

The entertainment industry is always quick to forgive celebrities, said Eileen Koch, owner of Eileen Koch and Co. public relations firm in Los Angeles.

Once celebrities own up to their wrongdoings and apologize, Koch said, it's easy for them to get back on track -- often with help from a skilled team of handlers and image consultants.

Fellow comeback kid David Arquette can attest.

After separating from Courteney Cox in October 2010, and sharing TMI on Howard Stern's Sirius radio show, Arquette checked himself into a live-in rehab facility at the beginning of the year.

In April, the same month "Scream 4" hit theaters, the actor appeared on "The Tonight Show" to celebrate 100 days of sobriety. And with a spot on the 13th season of "Dancing With the Stars," Arquette was back in business.

One reason it's so easy for celebrities to bounce back from scandal or personal issues is because when they hit rock bottom, they're doing it with money and connections to boot, Hollywood image consultant Michael Sands said.

And as nice as disposable income can be during a crisis, their connections shouldn't be discounted.

Arquette wouldn't have rebounded so quickly if he hadn't been in the public eye each week on "Dancing With the Stars," Koch said. With Cox and their daughter, Coco, in the audience supporting him, viewers saw a wonderful family image.

"Even I fell in love with him through that show," she added.

But without a willing client, Koch said, such connections are irrelevant.

Stan Rosenfield, Sheen's ex-publicist, might agree.

Rosenfield resigned in February after representing Sheen for about seven years -- through the actor's dismissal from "Two and a Half Men."

Sheen obviously wasn't cooperative for a while, Koch said, referring to the actor's media outbursts, including a "no-holds-barred" live interview with TMZ in which Sheen ripped into his "Two and a Half Men" bosses and talked about one day sharing his "epic" drug stories with his children.

But once celebrities apologize and man up to what they've done, Koch said, the industry is usually quick to forgive. And when that happens, the fans will follow suit.

Chris Brown has certainly benefited from this cycle as well.

The singer, who pleaded guilty to assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, surprised viewers with a high-energy performance at the MTV Music Video Awards in August.

Koch said it's much easier for a self-destructive celebrity to rebound than it is for someone such as Brown, but "the music industry has forgiven him now. So (his fans) are starting to."

Of course, this year hasn't been all steps in the right direction for Brown. He raised his voice and stormed off the "Good Morning America" set in March after being asked about the Rihanna assault.

By being respectful, apologizing and focusing on his work, Brown has slowly started to rise above his problems, publicists agree.

Brown did what celebrities should do when plagued by scandal -- focus on the work, said Samantha von Sperling, director at Polished Social Image Consultants.

Brown's album "Graffiti," released in 2009, received mostly negative reviews from critics. "F.A.M.E.," however, was met with praise -- debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in March.

Britney Spears was also due for a turnabout this year -- having been on the mend since her public meltdown in 2007.

The pop princess released "Femme Fatale," her sixth chart-topping album, in March. She received the MTV Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs in August. And she confirmed her engagement to her former manager, Jason Trawick, on December 16.

The media was quick to acknowledge Spears' comeback.

In a post about her March appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," the Los Angeles Times said, "Whoever's managing Britney Spears these days is doing a pretty great job."

Koch said, "I love Britney. She didn't do anything wrong. She got sick. People were very mean to her and they shouldn't have been. ... I don't worry about her anymore. She got it together, and she has a strong team behind her."

At that level of celebrity, Koch added, a star's team is everything. "They can block a lot of stress for you. Tell you why you shouldn't pay attention to this or that. ... The average person doesn't have that kind of support."

Now at 30, Spears finally seems to have her life back on track, which von Sperling said makes her a good example for one of 2011's most notorious celebrities: Lindsay Lohan.

But things may be looking up for the tabloid-prone Lohan.

Already on probation for two 2007 drunken-driving convictions, Lohan is required to complete community service after being sentenced in May in the theft of a necklace.

On December 14, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge praised the 25-year-old for complying with her probation requirements.

Moreover, Lohan's Playboy pictorial "is breaking sales records," Hugh Hefner tweeted on December 18.

"(Lohan is) not a diplomat," von Sperling said. "She's a blond bombshell movie star, so a Playboy cover makes sense. ... But she needs to do another film. And for her sake, it better be a good one ... not some bubblegum crap."

Like Spears, von Sperling said Lohan has time on her side.

The industry is less likely to forgive older celebrities, Koch agreed, adding that celebrities should be able to pull it together by their late 20s. And then there's Sheen, she joked.

"Instead of doing a one-man rant directed by nobody," von Sperling said, "(Sheen) should assemble a team of brilliant comedy writers ... pay them their weight in gold and produce a film."

But his FX comedy, "Anger Management," to air in the summer, may be close enough for now.

And while some people call Sheen's "Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour and public outbursts a fiasco, others are dubbing it a genius marketing ploy.

"(Sheen has) had his problems," image consultant Sands said. "But I think he got it right this whole year. He created a great persona and a great character, and I think this was a great act on his part."

Regardless of how people choose to read into Sheen's tumultuous year, it would appear he's on his way back to the top.

"We're all rooting for Charlie," von Sperling said. "Every time we turn on 'Two and a Half Men' I think we miss him. Because, as charming as Ashton Kutcher is, he's not Charlie Sheen."

"Jones: The Series" Joins Eileen Koch & Company

2011-07-27T15:44:00.000-07:00

Season Two of New TV Sitcom "Jones: The Series" Scheduled to Premiere This Fall

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 27, 2011) - The upcoming TV sitcom, "Jones: The Series" (www.jonestheseries.com) follows main character, "Jones" and his friends as they face the trials and tribulations of post-grad life. Mindy Bouman, writer and producer of the series, masterfully incorporates situational comedy and irony into the series to show that it's the little things in life that truly matter. The eclectic group of friends captured viewers with their wit in season one, which aired Saturday nights on the local channels CBS 21 and CW 15. Jones and his buddies are now back for season two and are ready to take on anything that life has to throw at them. EKC hopes to bring "Jones: The Series" to local and national channels in September.

In season one, Bouman enthralls viewers with the brief twenty-five minute episodes based on adventures common to the young adult crowd. Jones and his crew recap their series of unfortunate events with humor and animation, which makes the audience feel like they are part of the gang. Between biking accidents, trying to find the perfect woman to date, exploring the animal kingdom of albino ferrets, and sleeping with man-eating snakes, "Jones: The Series" leaves audiences wanting more of their simple, yet wildly entertaining lives. Season one culminates with a priceless finale, in which Jones wins the lottery only to have his hopes, dreams, and new convertible smashed by a semi-truck.

The main character of the sitcom, using his real-life name Jones (just one word like Madonna or Cher) is a graduate of Penn State University, and studied acting in New York conservatories. The cast includes, Jones; Ryan Lewis, the quiet yet charming musician; Ryan's trusty drummer and backup singer Josh Pappas; Ray Abboud, a local real estate investor; Abigail Helf, an aspiring actress and model; Matt Hoover, the show's tech genius; and Matthew Sutton, current Penn State student. The chemistry is undeniable.

Charles Eliasch Takes The Stage in Don Giovanni and As I Like It

2011-05-23T17:02:00.000-07:00

Classically trained Performer Charles Eliasch, 19

As the progeny of a long line of artists who includes famed director Sidney Gilliat, it is no surprise that Charles Eliasch has become a stage veteran with extensive training and a veritable list of performances across the world including the U.K., New York, and Hong Kong -- all by the age of 19.

This May 25th and 26th, Eliasch performs as Don Giovanni in Don Giovanni at Mannes College The New School of Music, where he is pursuing opera. Conversely, the classically trained thespian steps away from operas and Shakespeare in July to star as the Devotee in As I Like It, which was written by his mother, artist and fashion editor, Amanda Eliasch (www.amandaeliasch.com). The play is a witty, candid, yet deeply personal memoir that weaves in and out of truth to tease and mesmerize audiences.

Don Giovanni plays at Mannes College from May 25 to May 26 at 7:30pm. Mannes College The New School of Music is located at 150 West 85th Street New York, NY 10024. Admission is free.

As I Like It runs for two weeks at the Chelsea Theatre in London, from July 5 to July 14. The Chelsea Theatre is located at 7 World's End Place, London SW10 0DR, United Kingdom. Tickets available at www.chelseatheatre.org.uk.

GENLUX Fashion Editor Amanda Eliasch crafts a series of neon artwork for an exhibition at the Leadapron Gallery in Los Angeles.

2011-05-17T12:43:00.000-07:00

Amanda Eliasch Collaborates With Jonathan Brown For "Peccadilloes" Exhibition At The Leadapron.

Gallerist, Jonathan Brown will present “Peccadilloes”, showcasing Amanda’s new neon works based on the cartoon drawings of her by close friend and art patron, Kay Saatchi. Amanda has humorously lent herself as an example of the declining trajectory of modern morals.

One approach to art is to take something measurable and make it immeasurable through the prism of one’s imagination. Amanda Eliasch has flipped this notion and taken something immeasurable and made it measurable. She is using neon, a noble gas, as her material. Though common in the universe, it is quite rare on earth. Her subject, sin, is again a flip - common on earth, but supposedly clarified once reaching the heavens.

Being no stranger to the art world, Amanda has shown her visceral, dramatic black and white prints in galleries across London. She has published three books, most notably Assouline’s “British Artists at Work”, a collaboration with Italian Vogue Editor Franca Sozzani. Her latest book entitled “The Sins of a Butterfly" will launch this year. Amanda extends her talents to playwriting, and her first work “As I Like It”, will run for two weeks in July 2011 at the Chelsea Theatre in London.

In his innovative gallery, Brown will reveal Amanda’s tongue-in-cheek, but charmingly honest neon artworks, which highlight the many facets of the Mortal Sins: Wrath, Envy, Sloth, Greed, Lust, Pride, and Gluttony. These works are crafted using neon techniques, reflecting Hollywood’s culture of neon – hamburger joints, no vacancy signs, and striptease dens. They are vital, powerful, and compelling in that they tell a story that stretches from darkness to the light.

Amanda is using the pure intention of neon to both expose and reveal what neon aims to express. Much like Tracy Emin or Cindy Sherman, in multiple layers of symbolism, she places herself as the subject of this intention; to humor, to question and to confound. She admits to being a sinner, while at the same time, stating wittily that her sins are just peccadilloes. The result is a reaction to reality that is true, feminine, and astonishingly candid.
