Hasta La Creative!

Martin Scorsese has famously never created a film featuring both of his two go-to actors — Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio — but the two appear alongside the director in a new ad for Melco Crown Entertainment casino resorts City of Dreams Manila and Studio City Macao called “The Audition.” (According to Truth in Advertising, De Niro and DiCaprio were each payed a handsome $15 million for their appearances, but we’re not sure where they got that figure from.)

A trailer for the full-length video (which will also star Brad Pitt) recently made its debut online. It opens on Scorsese explaining to the pair that no, they won’t finally be working on a project together, but will rather be auditioning for the same role while living it up at the “fabulous” locations. Much drinking, gambling and arguing between the pair of actors on who will get the part ensues. Given the star power of the duo, and the added allure of them never having worked together, it seems a pretty fair bet that this will manage to go viral before the full-length version makes an appearance.

According to Producer Brett Ratner, “The Audition” will makes its debut “at the launch of Studio City in mid-2015.”

Listen up, people. T3′s Brian Thompson and his shirt are here to give you four simple steps to nailing your next client presentation!

For those of you who prefer your tips in text format as opposed to video, here are the key points:

1. Posture: Stand up straight. This requires putting your shoulders back and chest out, allowing your clients a better opportunity to check out your God-given physical attributes. If you’re packing in the rear, knock a pen off the table and take an extra-long time to pick it up. It’s this negotiation tactic that made up the basis of Legally Blonde, after all!
2. Gesture: Pinkies out! Pinkies always, always out! It shows class. Also, remember: When you’re presenting your “big idea,” try to stretch your arms out as wide as you possibly can. This will help the client better understand the enormity of your concept. When saying your goodbyes, give the client a firm handshake, while simultaneously using your middle finger to subtly tickle their palms.
3. Pause: The best tactic for keeping your client on their toes is to suddenly stop mid-sentence when you’re in the middle of your presentation. Believe me, they’ll never see it coming. Only resume your presentation after the client asks you AT MINIMUM three times if everything’s okay.
4. Eye Connection: Never, EVER, break eye contact. Have everything memorized so you can talk about your concept without ever looking at it. Avoid blinking if possible; the only time an eye should close is when winking. If you wear contacts or have naturally dry eyes, try to wink at least once a minute. Remember, this is about eye connection, not contact. Pretend the client is Leonardo DiCaprio‘s character at the end of Titanic, and you’re Kate Winslet floating on the door. Never. Let. Go.

Practice these moves with your family over the holiday weekend, and come back to work on Monday presenting with confidence!

There are a lot of big names in the showbiz industry these days making headway in the call for eco-friendliness. While the list goes on, two names came out on top. They are Leonardo DiCaprio and Oprah Winfrey.

DiCaprio beat off male counterparts Bono, Brad Pitt and actor Ed Begley Jr. to top the male category in the survey, which was carried out by GreenDaily.com and Bebo.com, to mark Earth Day today.

Winfrey out-shined Angelina Jolie, Hayden Panettiere, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sir Paul McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills to lead the female category.

Meanwhile, Mariah Carey was ruled to be the least environmentally friendly star, following reports she regularly flies her personal trainer from the Caribbean to New York to keep her fit.

John Travolta joined her on the hit list, after research found the qualified pilot generates 800 tons of carbon emissions each year flying around the world.
