(SkyNewswire.com) --- “Frankly, I would rather not discuss celebrities,” Dr. Leigh-Davis admitted on Friday. “Not long ago, celebrity happenings were only discussed on shows like ‘Entertainment Tonight.’ Today, it is mainstream news and I must produce what my audience wants to hear,” Dr. Leigh-Davis continued. Dr. Leigh-Davis, whose background is in finance and law, has been appearing all over the media talking about celebrities. Perhaps some of the reason Dr. Leigh-Davis is repeatedly asked to commentate on celebrities, can be attributed to Dr. Leigh-Davis being a former entertainment attorney and living in the heart of the entertainment industry: Beverly Hills, California. However, people have complained about Dr. Leigh-Davis’ own shows, like her weekly radio show “The Real Deal,” also spending too much time on celebrities.

That video is called “Fireworks,” and you won’t be able to tear your eyes away.

Staggs sets up the video in two scenarios. The first is Standard Thompson playing in a nightscape surrounding, with the full moon illuminating them from behind.

That’s why, to maintain authenticity, V1 Entertainment Films is auditioning advertiser/sponsors to star in its new NASCAR-themed television series, “The Ride.” Acclaimed film and television actor/director Giancarlo Esposito of AMC’s “Breaking Bad” has agreed to direct the project, which is being targeted as a Spring 2011 network replacement series.
