I was talking with a friend, who, on behalf of his brother, was asking for advice on getting into the industry. Specifically, his brother is the musician in the family while my friend is a more traditional businessman who sells product. My pal asked me, “How do you determine what to charge? I know that in my industry I have to do an analysis of what a product costs me to produce and how much profit margin I need to make to survive. If a music mix takes a certain number of hours and you can determine its cost to show the client, why can you not get people to pay for that?” This inevitably led to the train of thought that you charge what you are worth — a topic we have discussed here at SCOREcast many times in the past. But upon further discussion, I determined that in advising...

Football fans remember that game in 2005 when scantily clad Fsu Cowgirl Jenn Sterger was spotlighted on national television out of a stadium crowd of about 80,000 fans, singlehandedly helping to increase male enrollment at Florida State.
She went on to pose in Maxim and Playboy before becoming the Gameday Host for the New York Jets in 2008. That gig brought her to national attention for the scandal involving married quarterback Brett Favre -- a man whom she'd never formally met -- and the suggestive messages he left her during the season.
Sterger has remained silent about the Favre fiasco until recently, but now she opens up to us about it as well as her awkward sex scene with Ryan Kwanten ("True Blood"), playing crazy in the horror movie "The Tenant" and her new weekly show on Fuel.
You were silent for so long about Brett Favre. Why did you want to speak out about the incident now?...

I frequently get emails from burgeoning composers and new Los Angeles transplants either looking for a composer assistant position or just advice on breaking into the industry. I often agree to meet them (usually over lunch) and invariably get asked if it's beneficial to assist and/or ghostwrite for a bigger name composer. The advice I give them is almost always the same. It comes from my own years of experience working hard to establish myself in the composer world. A feat that I feel is not only difficult, but one most all of us are ever in the constant pursuit of doing.

How do you use social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube?Marci LiroffMarci Liroff Casting, Los Angeles; 'Ghosts of Girlfriends Past,' 'Mean Girls,' 'St. Elmo's Fire,' 'A Christmas Story,' 'Blade Runner'; www.facebook.com/MarciLiroffFans, www.twitter.com/MarciliroffI feel like as a casting director, I'm becoming more accessible. Casting directors have been very inaccessible and kind of elusive and exclusive, and I don't think that flies anymore. I just want to be more involved. From my classes, I produced a DVD based on all my lessons, and I promote it on my Facebook fan page. I also edited the DVD into little digestible videos and put those up on YouTube, so people could spread them around.When I got on Facebook personally with my friends and family, I started getting hit on by lots of actors, people I didn't even know,...

Actress Mischa Barton is facing a lawsuit from her landlord over allegations she owes $21,000 in unpaid rent on her New York apartment. In a lawsuit filed on Thursday, January 21, lawyers for property company M.R.A. Realities Inc. claim the former "The O.C." star has ignored continued requests to pay rent for the last three months.
The star rented out the $7,000 -a-month pad in the Big Apple's trendy Tribeca neighborhood on a one-year lease in September 2009. She had planned to stay in the city while filming her now defunct TV show "The Beautiful Life: Tbl". The series was axed the same month. The landlords are seeking the outstanding rent as well as legal fees.
Mischa Barton has starred in several movies such as "The Sixth Sense", "Notting Hill", "St Trinians". Then, in 2007, the 23-year-old British actress appeared in "Closing the Ring" and "Virgin Territory". Recently, she also starred in "Don't Fade Away...

Don't Fade Away, starring Beau Bridges, Mischa Barton, Ryan Kwanten and Ja Rule, gets an original score by up and coming composer Brian Ralston, whose previous credits include 9/Tenths and Graduation. Ralston was brought in late in post-production and had less than a full week to compose and record the score. Don't Fade Away is a drama about a man who lost track of who he is when pursuing a musical career in New York. Luke Kasdan is the nephew of legendary filmmaker Lawrence Kasdan and Don't Fade Away is his first feature film.
