Judy Tenuta is the most famous person that ever lived. If you don't believe it just ask her! The stand-up comic/actress who describes herself as a "multi-media Bondage Goddess" and "the Aphrodite of the Accordion", is actually a caring nurturer who wakes up at 8PM to verbally abuse countless herds of mortal swine (her audience) and converts them to her signature religion "Judyism". Her fans ranging from fetuses to fossils, gays to geishas, all beg to chew her gum and kiss her feet because she is the only fun-feminist who preaches that all women should be worshipped as "Love Goddesses", and all men have an equal opportunity to become her furniture.....It could happen! Judy hit the stage in long flowing "goddess gowns", and took a bite out of the Big Apple. She was the very first stand-up to win "Best Female Comedian" at the American Comedy Awards. That same year she became the national spokesperson for a series of Diet Dr. Pepper commercials where she proclaimed "You can't get a body like mine in a bottle unless you push real hard." Judy has starred in her own HBO, Showtime, and Lifetime Specials and has been seen on every major talk show. Most recently she was a special correspondent for "American Journal", and "Entertainment Tonight,"where she conducted interviews with such celebrated public figures as Donald Trump and Reverend Jesse Jackson. Judy has also had two smash comedy CD's and has been nominated twice for Grammy Awards for her "Attention Butt-Pirates and Lesbetarians", and "In Goddess We Trust". She is also the author of "The Power of Judyism" (Harper-Collins).

For many of us, the name Zulema Griffin first popped into our consciousness when the fashion designer was competing in Bravo's hit TV show, Project Runway. But for others, Zulema was already a well known name in the industry. She began her career as a fashion model with the prestigious Ford modeling agency, appearing in the pages of Bazaar, Essence, Interview and other magazines. At the beginning of her career, she went to castings during the day and worked nights as a hostess in New York City restaurants. And it was there -- where the Parson's School of Design graduate wore her own clothes -- that a movie director noticed her dress and hired her as a costume designer. The rest, as they say, is history. For many reasons, Zulema became the most memorable figure on the second season of Project Runway. Aside from her fashion statements, she was also responsible for the most memorable line in the history of Project Runway. In the midst of a team challenge where fellow designer Kara broke down and was unable to finish her task, Zulema gave out marching orders to her weaker teammate. "I don't care if you cry and cut," said Zulema, "but you better cry and cut." (Bio from KeithBoykin.com)

Adam Barta has been working hard at what he does for a while, and it’s paying off. If you haven’t heard of this Bronx born, Billboard-breakout, mainstream dance recording artist yet, you will. With beginnings in off-Broadway musical theatre, he became lead singer in a boyband, after which time his solo music career took off in 2005 with his hit single Dirty Girls. It received airplay on stations across the nation, including Sirius satellite radio and many FM stations. The Armory Project’s remix was heard at top dance clubs around the country. After receiving a breakout at #5 on the Billboard hot club play charts, peaking at #23 in March 2007’s DJ Times dance charts and being added to Abercrombie & Fitch stores throughout the country, EsNtion Records took notice and signed Adam for a dance single on Russ Harris’ album, Ear Therapy, which also featured the labels top artists such as Danielle Bollinger and DJ Keri. A DJ Times review for May called him “one of the strongest male vocalists in 2007” and a July feature in Skope Magazine called his voice “surprisingly pleasant” and deemed him all about hard work. His music video hit the #1 spot on MTV LOGO’s Click List in August alongside Hilary Duff and Justin Timberlake, and called him the “new king” of the Click List.
