RACHAEL RAY AND GUY FIERI COACH EIGHT MULTI-TALENTED CELEBRITIES ON RACHAEL VS. GUY CELEBRITY COOK-OFF

                    
RACHAEL RAY AND GUY FIERI COACH EIGHT MULTI-TALENTED
CELEBRITIES ON RACHAEL VS. GUY CELEBRITY COOK-OFF 
Six-Episode Series Premieres Sunday, January 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT 
Alyssa Campanella, Aaron Carter, Coolio, Taylor Dayne, Joey Fatone, Cheech Marin,
Lou Diamond Phillips and Summer Sanders Compete For Charity 

NEW YORK, NY – November 14, 2011 – Two of Food Network’s biggest icons, Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri, will square off against each other for culinary bragging rights in  Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off, premiering Sunday, January 1, 9 p.m. ET/PT.  In this six-episode competition series, the Emmy® -winning talk show host  Rachael Ray and best-selling cookbook author and successful restaurateur Guy Fieri, will each serve as coaches  and mentors to eight multi-talented celebrities, all of whom are passionate about food and cooking.  Divided into
‘Team Rachael’ and ‘Team Guy’, each episode features celebrity contestants battling it out in a fun, fast-paced  culinary fight-to-the-finish, with the two bottom-rated contestants from the losing team going head-to-head in a blind tasting elimination challenge. In the end, the last contestant standing is crowned king or queen of the Celebrity CookOff and wins $50,000 for the charity they are playing to support. "Rachael vs. Guy is the most exciting, funny and suspenseful piece of television I have ever made. This show is true reality television; no staging, no tricks and no do-overs,” said Rachael Ray.  “These contestants bonded with each
other making the drama of the competition even more thrilling and intense.  I think everyone will be amazed to see our contestants compete at the highest level and perform like master cooks, we honestly couldn't believe it." "I've known Rachael for years and I was psyched to finally have the opportunity to collaborate," said Guy Fieri. "I also had a blast coaching the celebrity contestants as they battled it out in the kitchen for their favorite charities." 
The eight celebrity contestants hail from a broad range of backgrounds, from TV, to movies, to sports and music,  they include,  Summer Sanders (Two-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer and national sportscaster);  Lou Diamond Phillips  (Golden Globe®-nominated actor,  Stand and Deliver);
Aaron Carter  (Multi-platinum-selling
recording artist and actor, Popstar and Supercross);
Joey Fatone (Singer, actor, television personality and founding member of top-selling supergroup ‘N Sync);
Taylor Dayne (Chart-topping recording star and actress, Broadway’s
“Aida” and Television’s “Nightman”);
Coolio (Grammy®-winning hip-hop artist);
Cheech Marin (Grammy-winning comedian, screenwriter and actor);
and Alyssa Campanella (Winner, Miss USA 2011 and Runner-Up, Miss Teen
USA 2007).
  
The series kicks off and the heat is on, as Rachael and Guy welcome the contestants and select their teams.  The two teams face off in a showdown for the first-ever Celebrity Cook-Off Food Festival, where each team member must create an original dish for 150 people.  At the end of the festival, each contestant’s fate lies in the hands of the attendees, who vote for the team with the best food.  The bottom two celebrities from the losing team must compete in a sudden-death, blind taste challenge judged by Rachael and Guy, where it is determined which celebrity goes home.  The celebrities are pushed to new culinary limits over the course of the series, including operating their own curb-side lunch cart in New York City; contending in one-on-one Chopped style battles, complete with special guest judges  Alex Guarnaschelli,  Marcus Samuelsson, and  Scott Conant  straight from the  Chopped set.  It all culminates in the finale, where the final two celebrity contestants face their toughest challenge and attempt to launch their very own restaurant, where they must develop the menu as well as create a restaurant theme and décor.  Finale includes special guest appearances by Nina and Tim Zagat, co-founders of Zagat Survey, where the winner will be determined by utilizing the Zagat rating system.

Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off is produced by Jane Street Entertainment.

A few years ago Jenni Alpert, who was adopted at age four, reunited with her biological family. She discovered that her cousin had red blood cell aplasia and was surviving from weekly blood transfusions. After losing her adopted father to cancer at a young age and watching him struggle with the need for blood, Jenni spent the next few years helping her cousin through some of his hardest days. During that period she learned a lot about the value of donating blood and bone marrow. A few years later Jenni hooked up with Music Saves Lives who created a program of running blood drives and giving music away as perks to people to help raise awareness and encourage blood donations. With the Blood Driven Tour, Jenni will assist Music Saves Lives in spreading their message through music and song, helping folks feel more at ease while they are donating their blood with a little entertainment.

MUSIC SAVES LIVES TO EDUCATE THE MASSES ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SUMMER BLOOD DONATIONS DURING 54-CITY TREK ON VANS WARPED TOUR, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MONSTER ENERGY

Donors to Have Access to Exclusive Meet and Greets with Monster Energy Bands as Music Saves Lives Helps Offset Slow Blood Donation Season

(Los Angeles, CA – June 22, 2011) – Music Saves Lives, a recognized 501 (c)(3) organization that is the bridge between music, entertainment and important life-saving causes,   will hit the road on all 54 dates of the Vans Warped Tour educating and thanking blood donors across the US and Canada beginning June 24th in Dallas, TX.  This marks the 6th year Music Saves Lives has taken its crusade to the concert sheds of the Vans Warped Tour, all the while receiving distinguished awards from the American Red Cross for the largest youth blood donation program ever in the US, five years running. 

Because over 25% of the nation’s blood supply is donated by High Schools and Colleges, summer month blood supplies are severely affected and this year Music Saves Lives hopes to reach over 100,000 blood donations.  Music Saves Lives reaches out and educates concert goers on the importance of blood donations, providing encouragement to run and participate in blood drives in their community.   

The ultimate reward in donating blood is the realization that a single donation can save up to 3 lives, but giving has its perks too! Music Saves Lives offers ‘meet & greets’ with bands out on the Vans Warped Tour, through a partnership with Monster Energy to make that all happen.  Many Monster Energy bands, such as Of Mice and Men, will take part in meeting thousands of blood donors attending each tour date.  Additionally, by texting “Monster” to 411247 fans will have access to exclusive video and music from Monster Energy andMusic Saves Lives.
