Maria Menounos
Greek BeautyNamed one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People in 2004, Maria Menounos is a former Miss Massachusetts Teen USA, was a correspondent for "Entertainment Tonight" and recently finished work on her own feature film Serial Buddies. Currently you can catch her most nights on "Access Hollywood" where she has covered everything from the red carpet to the most recent Olympic Games. This week, Maria will be going on some "Madcap Adventures" in which she'll leave her comfort zone and pursue actives she's only dreamed of. FACTOID - While Maria may be beautiful, her actual trademark is her unique laugh, something she describes as a cross between Fran Drescher and Woody Woodpecker. Sean Patton
Talking HeadSean Patton was born and raised in New Orleans, which is also where he cut his teeth doing stand up in the comedy. In 2008, Sean was featured as one of the “New Faces” at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, and has also been seen as a comedic regular on many of the VH1 “talking head” shows, on the 2009 season of Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, and he recently made his network TV debut on Late night with Jimmy Fallon. His big plans for the future are to continue sharing his comedy with the masses, and to one-day fall in love with you, the reader of this bio, whoever you are. Tommy James
Hanky PankyEveryone knows the hits "Mony Mony," "I Think We're Alone Now," "Crimson and Clover," "Crystal Blue Persuasion." They are nuggets of rock and pop history. However, few know the unlikely story of how these hits came to be. Me, the Mob, and the Music tells the intimate story of the complex and sometimes terrifying relationship between Tommy James, the bright-eyed, sweet-faced blonde musician from the heartland, and the big, bombastic, brutal bully from the Bronx, who hustled, cheated, and swindled his way to the top of the music industry. It is also the story of this swaggering, wildly creative era of rock n' roll when the hits kept coming and payola and the strong arm tactics of the mob were the norm, and what it was like, for better or worse, to be in the middle of it.
