Traditionally, big corporations shell out major bucks for the most established <a href="http://www.amentertainment.com/pr-publicity">PR firms</a>, producers and commercial directors, but times are a&#8217; changin&#8217;.</p>
<p>Just like Doritos and Chevy in years past, this year Dannon Yogurt chose to hire two young up-and-coming filmmakers, Andrew Neymarc, 23, and Remy Neymarc 21, to write, direct, produce and edit their first commercial to ever air during the Superbowl.</p>
<p>Remy Neymarc, 21, is tentatively the youngest director to have ever directed a Superbowl commercial, and the French-born pair have received a lot of press due to their age and also the manner in which they were chosen for this job.</p>
<p>The story began when the pair submitted a prototype commercial through a crowd-sourcing competition through Poptent Media. With a community of over 30,000 film makers, Poptent invited the Neymarc Brothers to compete within a select few for the coveted spot. The winner would have a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to direct the final Superbowl commercial out in L.A. with a full production team, professional equipment and of course, famous talent, John Stamos.</p>

<p><em>Lady Gaga’s single “Judas” rips off Loli Lux’s “WannaBE” single but it’s not the first time Gaga “borrows” from Loli.</em></p>

<p><em>Los Angeles, CA  (PRWEB) April 16, 201</em>1 – New York based Electro Pop Artist <a href="http://www.amentertainment.com/artists/loli-lux" target="_blank">Loli Lux</a> is suprised by Lady Gaga’s new single “Judas”. According to Loli Lux the song is basically a duplicate of her own track, “WannaBE” written and produced by Loli Lux and Rob Uncles. The “WannaBE” single was first written back in 2009 and later remixed and released in September 2010 by LoliLand Inc. The “WannaBE” music video has been on MTV rotation and music charts all over Ukraine for the past several months.</p>
<p>Loli Lux comes from the same New York music scene as Lady Gaga and is known from previous tours with Rockstar Tommy Lee and her celebrity DJ status. “I have always crossed paths with Gaga through having mutual friends, it’s not the first time she has <em>borrowed</em> ideas from me. It was previously my DJ trademark to wear military hats but I had to stop that after Gaga started doing the same.” stated Loli Lux on Friday evening in New York.</p>
<p>Loli Lux says she contacted producer RedOne through a mutual acquaintance and forwarded her “WannaBE” music video. What followed the initial positive interest was more of a rude awakening than a pleasant surprise. The RedOne produced single “Judas” debuted using the exact same hook as Loli’s “WannaBE”.</p>
<p>“It’s sad when my work ripped off like that but I have more new and really great unreleased material that I will keep safely guarded for now.”</p>

Her previous U.S. TV appearances include an AXE Body Spray commercial and an extra role on HBO’s Entourage. She’s also appeared on E!

Currently on J records, Ambrosius was a former member of the R&amp;B Duo Floetry, the duo have since parted ways and are both solo artists. Ambrosius has collaborated with various heavy hitters in the music industry such as Michael Jackson, Jamie Foxx, Wale, and Nas, just to name a few. In 2007, she released her first mix-tape titled <em>Neo-Soul is Dead </em>as a follow up <em>Yours Truly</em> was released in 2008 and <em>Yours Sincerely</em> in 2010.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.marshaambrosiusmusic.com" target="_blank">Marsha Ambrosius</a></strong> has released two tracks from her upcoming album, <em>Hope She Cheats on You (With a Basketball Player) </em>and <em>Far Away</em>. Her debut single <em>Hope She Cheats on You (With a Basketball Player) </em>made it&#8217;s debut at No. 33 on Billboard&#8217;s Hot R&amp;B/Hip Hop Songs Chart. Ambrosius released her second single, <em>Far Away</em> depicted a personal experience as it relates to suicide, homophobia, and bullying. She explained, her lyrics were written after a close friend attempted suicide and the concept for the video was an effort to raise awareness within each community of the negative impact bullying and homophobia can potentially have. Produced by Just Blaze and Co-written by Sterling Simms, <em>Far Away</em> is a promising song.</p>

<p>Ambrosius solo career is definitely one to watch, different from current female R&amp;B singers, her talent and unique voice will certainly raise the bar in the R&amp;B world.</p>

<p>On February 10-17 2011, Mercedes Benz hosted New York Fashion Week which revealed various trends/ collections for Fall 2011. The week long fashion event kicked off fashion week in cities around the world. While fashion week will occur at various times in different locations, there is one major theme for both Men and Women: HIGH FASHION- Fall 2011</p>
<p>One intriguing designer, <a href="http://www.spurr.tv/simonspurr/about" target="_blank">Simon Spurr</a> featured his Mens Fall 2011 Collection.</p>
<p>The British menswear designer has worked with Ralph Lauren&#8217;s suiting collection for both Black and Purple Labels. Spurr&#8217;s Fall Collection is not only influenced by traditional British tailoring, it stays clear of modern Mens Suits with slim cut pants, accessories, and outwear such as cashmere scarves. Spurr not only mastered sophisticated suits, he also has a good grasp on trendy sportswear. With leather hoodies, plush turtlenecks, white, dark and neutral colored pieces, Spurr&#8217;s collection will not only appeal to the 9-5 Corporate America Man but it will also appeal to those Gentleman who look for sophisticated evening/weekend attire.</p>
<p>Simon Spur&#8217;s Collection is available at <a href="http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com" target="_blank">Bergdorf Goodman</a> and <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com" target="_blank">Saks Fifth Avenue</a>.</p>
