Kim of Queens is produced by Relativity Television with Tom Forman, Brad Bishop, Bryan O’Donnell, Colleen Conway Grogan, Mary Donahue, and Eli Lehrer executive producing.

The Plot: While applying her homegrown philosophy that beauty is only skin deep, Kim, with her larger-than-life personality that is peppered with tough love and plenty of humor, searches for young talent that many might pass over on first glance. As Kim likes to say, “You can wear a burlap sack, girl; but if you got it on the inside, it shines on the outside.”

At the young age of 19, this former self-proclaimed “ugly duckling” was crowned the youngest Miss Georgia in the pageant’s history. Kim will be the first to say that winning Miss Georgia was great, but losing Miss America made her who she is today. Now, as the owner and CEO of her business, the renowned Pageant Place, Kim shares her incredible talents and over-the-top, engaging personality with the young, talented hopefuls seeking her sage advice that has proven to take young girls to the top.

The Wolf of Wall Street First Clip: Work for Me

Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street almost got pushed to 2014 however cuts have been made to give the film a reasonable running time and Paramount Pictures has set it for a December 25, 2013 release. And now the studio’s released this first clip from the much-anticipated, likely Oscar contender featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, and Jon Bernthal discussing how to smuggle cash out of the country.
 
Based on Jordan Belfort’s book, The Wolf of Wall Street also stars Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Jon Favreau, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner and Jean Dujardin.
 
The Plot:
 
Revered filmmaker Martin Scorsese directs the story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio). From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title – “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
 
Money. Power. Women. Drugs. Temptations were for the taking and the threat of authority was irrelevant. For Jordan and his wolf pack, modesty was quickly deemed overrated and more was never enough.

The cast, crew and production have been so welcoming to me, and so my love affair with CBS continues.”
