Tonight (9/27), small business and finance expert <strong>Monica Mehta (W'97, Counterparts)</strong> will be appearing for a second time on the "Real Time with Bill Maher" panel.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.penntertainment.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/monica-mehta-500-300x241.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="monica-mehta-500" border="0" class="wp-image-14679 alignleft" height="169" src="http://www.penntertainment.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/monica-mehta-500-300x241.jpg" width="210" /></a>Monica has actually been all over the media writing magazine columns (Bloomberg, Businessweek, INC Mag, and Entrepreneur Mag) and appearing regularly on business and political shows ("O’Reilly Factor", "The Adam Carolla Show", Fox News with Neil Cavuto, "Fox & Friends", "Fox Business", MSNBC, Bloomberg TV, ABC News).<br />
<br />
Find out what Monica will be talking about with Bill after the jump!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
If that weren't enough, Monica published her first book last fall, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071797424/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0071797424&linkCode=as2&tag=pntr1740-20">The Entrepreneurial Instinct: How Everyone Has the Innate Ability to Start a Successful Small Business</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=pntr1740-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0071797424" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> (McGraw-Hill 2013) which explores the brain science behind entrepreneurial risk taking.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=pntr1740-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0071797424" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />When I asked Monica what she thinks she'll be talking about tonight she told me,<br />
<blockquote>"Topics get nailed down the day of, 10-12 discussions on current events, politics. Given my focus and Robert Reisch (Former Labor Secretary Clinton) will be on, I'm sure we'll discuss the economy (debt ceiling, fed tapering, unemployment, minimum wage). But since Maher is an entertainer, I'm sure we'll talk about a lot of other stuff too. Last time I was on we talked about religion, racism, gay rights and legalizing pot, with Snoop Lion on high as a kite and on the verge of getting uncomfortably homophobic."</blockquote>More on Monica at her website: <a href="http://monicamehta.com/" target="_blank">http://monicamehta.com</a><br />

<img alt="Jewtopia" border="0" class=" wp-image-5327 alignright" height="168" src="http://penntertainment.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Jewtopia-Poster-Large-203x300.jpg" width="113" /></a>Penn alum <strong>Courtney Mizel (W'95, Bloomers)</strong> produced the film adaptation of the L.A. stage production of <em>Jewtopia</em> and it is being <a href="http://jewtopiamovie.com/see-the-film/" target="new">released in theaters and on demand</a> on 9/20.<br />
<br />
The premise in a nutshell is the story of a gentile (non-Jew) who wants to marry a Jewish girl ...so that he'll never have to make another decision for as long as he lives. Love it!<br />
<br />
Inspired from the international smash hit play seen by over a million people, <em>Jewtopia</em>'s got lots of stars including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jon Lovitz, Rita Wilson, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Wendie Malick, Nicollette Sheridan, Tom Arnold, Phil Rosenthal, Peter Stormare, Camryn Manheim, Ivan Sergei, Joel David Moore, Christine Lakin, Hayes MacArthur and Lin Shaye.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>The shpiel:</em></strong><br />
The story is about Christian O'Connell (Sergei) and Adam Lipschitz (Moore) — two childhood friends who reunite as adults to help each other land the women of their dreams. Chris wants to marry Allison (Hewitt), a Jewish girl, so that he'll never have to make another decision for as long as he lives. Adam is on the verge of getting married to Hannah (Sigler), a woman he is not content with. When Chris enlists Adam's help in pretending to be Jewish so that Allison will date him, cultures collide and chaos ensues!<br />

</em> <em>Jewtopia</em> is the directorial debut of Bryan Fogel who co-wrote the screenplay, the stage play, and the best-selling book, Jewtopia: The Chosen Book for the Chosen People, with Sam Wolfson. The film is produced by Courtney Mizel (Tortilla Heaven), Pavlina Hatoupis (Sassypants, Frankie Goes Boom), Andy Fickman, (director of The Game Plan, Race to Witch Mountain, and the Billy Crystal / Bette Midler comedy Parental Guidance), Tucker Tooley, (Immortals, The Fighter, We're the Millers), and Bryan Fogel.<br />

I wonder if last night's cringe-worthy Miley performance will remain topical enough for a sketch on SNL's September 23 season premiere...?<br />

<br />
While we got <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/2011/06/penn-alumni-of-90s-cant-remember-answer.html" target="_blank">many funny responses on video</a>, I just got a response from Jim Cleary, a member of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/107027295993644/" target="_blank">Murphy's Tavern Alumni facebook group</a> telling me that a bartender who made Skylabs has now revealed the secret.<br />

Buzzfeed just released an article about the <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/reb22/xx-signs-you-went-to-penn" target="new">19 Signs You Went to Penn</a>.<br />
<br />
Not all the signs listed in the article hold true for alumni who may have attended Penn let's say over 15 years ago, but my favorites of course center around <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/2007/07/but-what-are-dueling-tampons.html">this</a>, <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/2007/11/its-one-in-philadelphia.html">this</a> and <a href="http://went2networks.com/smf/index.php?action=gallery;cat=2">this</a>.<br />
<br />
One sign not on the list that applied to a generation of Penn alumni centered around <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/2011/06/penn-alumni-of-90s-cant-remember-answer.html">seeing a particular individual on campus "in Church"</a>.<br />
<br />
What<i> other signs</i> would you add to that buzzfeed article? Comment below!<br />

<blockquote><span style="color: black;">"With sly humor and an intensity of feeling, THE SPECTACULAR NOW (directed by James Ponsoldt) creates a vivid, three-dimensional portrait of youth confronting the funny, thrilling and perilous business of modern love and adulthood. This is the tale of Sutter Keely (Miles Teller), a high school senior and effortless charmer, and of how he unexpectedly falls in love with "the good girl" Aimee Finecky (Shailene Woodley). What starts as an unlikely romance becomes a sharp-eyed, straight-up snapshot of the heady confusion and haunting passion of youth - one that doesn't look for tidy truths."</span></blockquote><br />

Penn Alum <b>Susan Orlins (CW '67)</b> turned her blogposts about worrying into a new book called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0615600018/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0615600018&linkCode=as2&tag=duelitampo-20" target="new">CONFESSIONS OF A WORRYWART</a>.

With wit and grit, Orlins takes you from her starter marriage in 1965 on a rocky, comical journey to 1979, when she moves with her second husband to Beijing (where she has her own personal spy). Her effort to adopt an infant in China provides a rare portrait of an era when "eating bitterness" was a way of life.</span> </blockquote><blockquote><span style="color: black;">In the chapter "I May Have Ruined the Marriage, But You're Ruining the Divorce," Orlins portrays her separation with wry, wrenching self-awareness. She rebounds with a post-traumatic-divorce party, "family" vacations with her ex, and a cast of Mr. Wrongs, like one who--whenever he feels blue--swallows a pinch of his father's ashes. During a solo bicycle trip in Paris, Orlins tracks down a boyfriend from 42 years earlier. No one could have anticipated the crisis that occurs an hour into their reunion. With her knack for stumbling into drama, it's no wonder she worries. More recently, while exploring what young Susan would think of her present-day self, Orlins faces a life-changing realization. Readers will relate to this deeply personal story, told with a quirky sensibility by a startlingly honest mother, daughter, ex-wife, and dog lover, who--à la Nora Ephron--will feel like a dear friend. Confessions of a Worrywart: Husbands, Lovers, Mothers, and Others lingers long after you finish reading it."</span> </blockquote><blockquote>More at <a href="http://www.susanorlins.com/" target="new">www.SusanOrlins.com</a> <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=duelitampo-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0615600018" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /></blockquote><b><br />

Run down by a road rage maniac, attacked in the street, brutalized by gun-crazy cops, and harassed by police detectives, Steve is dragged through the courts for months, facing mandatory prison sentences for imaginary crimes. Shoved through a maze of court-ordered therapy, Steve ultimately finds himself navigating a new labyrinth on national TV at the mercy of the snarling, modern-day Solomon known as Judge J-.

Marlene tells Noa that she has changed her mind about the death penalty and Noa’s sentence, and will do everything in her considerable power to convince the governor to commute the sentence to life in prison, in return for the one thing Noa is unwilling to trade: her story.</span> </blockquote><blockquote><span style="color: black;">Marlene desperately wants Noa to reveal the events that led to her daughter’s death – events that Noa has never shared with a soul. With death looming, Marlene believes that Noa may finally give her the answers she needs, though Noa is far from convinced that Marlene deserves the salvation she alone can deliver. Inextricably linked by murder but with very different goals, Noa and Marlene wrestle with the sentences life itself can impose while they confront the best and worst of what makes us human in this haunting tale of love, anguish, and deception."</span> </blockquote><blockquote><center><div style="-x-system-font: none; display: block; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 12px auto 6px auto;"><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/154165359/THE-EXECUTION-OF-NOA-P-SINGLETON" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="View THE EXECUTION OF NOA P.

<br />
...This Whartonite <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/Career%20Change" target="_blank">changed careers (like these alumni</a>) away from his 9-year career as a film and television producer to co-found this company. Currently, minimus.biz boasts its third year in Internet Retailer’s list of the top 1000 grossing e-commerce businesses in the U.S. Beyond the retail business, Minimus operates a larger wholesale business that services corporations, non-profits, religious institutions, government agencies, educational institutions, <b>and even the astronauts on the International Space Station</b> (where Minimus has been the supplier of condiment packets to NASA for six years). Moving into the manufacturing side of it, Shrater launched Minimus Products, which has its own food and non-food production rooms and pouching machines to make small printed packets of items under their own brand, for other brands, or in partnership with other brands. <br />

He is yet <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/Gameshow%20Contestant" target="_blank">another Penn alum gameshow contestant</a>! <br />
<br />
While he didn't win, Jeff provided us with some insider info:<br />
<blockquote><span style="color: black;"> "Here's how it works: Alex reads the clue, <b>and then a guy at a table off-camera flips a switch that turns on some lights on the board that the TV audience doesn't see. If the contestant buzzes in before that switch has been thrown, he or she is locked out for a couple of a fractions of a second</b>. So, the trick is buzzing in AFTER the invisible man flips the switch but BEFORE the lights come on. <br />
<br />
Japinga [contestant] was on his fourth game in a row and had gotten really comfortable with that rhythm, as evidenced (for one example) by his sweep of a category about the Supreme effing Court. The guy was fast, and he had the edge, but ultimately I blame myself -- I should have seen "Red Baron" in "Rotte Whatever," but I was focused on and perplexed by the publishing year of 1917 in the clue, since WWI didn't end until 1918 (and so I didn't think famous WWI figures would be writing bios during the war). That mistake cost me, and from there on out I was only going to win if Japinga missed Final Jeopardy, which was a sugar pill. When I saw Japinga go for the pen as quickly as I did, I knew it was over."</span></blockquote><center></center><br />

The synopsis from Booklist:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0373210108/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0373210108&linkCode=as2&tag=duelitampo-20" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ws.assoc-amazon.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=0373210108&Format=_SL160_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=duelitampo-20" /></a>"Carrie, 19, is a genius: she's already graduated from Harvard. But social success has always eluded her. She now lives alone in a New York apartment and every week sees a therapist who makes a list of goals for her, including going out on a date and joining an organization. Of course, Carrie goes about these things in her own quirky and hilarious way. The organization she picks is a church, which she is certain is cultlike and run by a minister who is fleecing the parishioners. She turns to the personal ads for a date, and picks Matt, an engaged man looking to cheat on his fiancee, and Carrie plans to rat on him. But even brilliant Carrie can't predict that she'll be attracted to Matt or that the minister is actually moral. Lissner's heroine is utterly charming and unique, and readers will eagerly turn the pages to find out how her search for happiness unfolds." <br />

Today was the 257th Commencement and honorary speaker Vice President Joe Biden had lots of advice for the new graduates.<br />
<br />
Some more fun highlights from his speech:<br />
<ul><li>apparently Joe's son <b>Beau</b> went to Penn (C'91, Lightweight Football) and his granddaughter <b>Naomi</b> is a student there now.</li>
<li>On a more comical note, in his speech, Vice President Biden mentioned that The Washington Post said no man has entered the office of Vice President with fewer assets than Joe Biden.</li>
</ul>...After the jump, watch the entire speech and find out why (minute 1:33). : )<br />

For a while, <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/Flash%20Mob" target="new">this form of expression</a> was pretty popular all over Penn.<br />
<br />
It's finals season now and Penn students are getting creative again.<br />
<br />
In an unsuspecting study lounge at the University of Pennsylvania, two star-crossed studiers need someone to watch their stuff and they <strike>interrupt</strike> entertain all those around them. <br />

Some Penn alumni encouraged me to post <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/Penn%20Six" target="new">Penn Six</a>'s popular song "Conrad Bain" from their 1993 album "Jacket Off" album however I couldn't find it anywhere online. <br />
<br />
After chatting with a Penn Six alum friend, I was able to locate the song ...and after the jump you can now listen to it!<br />

<br />
I've got some more alumni who are blowing up in the world of entertainment that <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/ayska" target="_blank">you should know about</a>! <br />
<br />
After the jump, learn about alumni who are appearing on, writing for and creating some great new TV shows. <br />
<br />

As such, "Chained to My Ex" follows couples who find themselves living together and miserable but stuck for many reasons including emotional ties, children and financial limitations. Being married and living together can be tough. Being divorced and still living together… pure hell.<br />
<br />
This show is based on Matt's deeply personal experience watching his parents live together for two whole years, though divorced and full of spite because they couldn't sell their Long Island house. This real-life "War of The Roses" inspired him to create a docuseries highlighting this growing trend.<br />

4) ER doctor and TV writer (and staff writer of "The Mob Doctor") <b><a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/Zach%20Lutsky" target="new">Zach Lutsky's (C'97, AEPi)</a></b> episode of "The Mob Doctor" aired this past Saturday night on Fox. Here is a synopsis of his episode titled "Resurrection": <br />
<blockquote>

Zach tells me that after having spent several years learning real medicine at medical school in Chicago, it was a surreal and incredible experience spending time back there to create a world of fake medicine for a TV show.<br />
<br />
5) Reality producer <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/Greg%20Goldman" target="new"><b>Greg Goldman (C'96)</b></a> just got an awesome new <i>Hunger Games</i>-like show greenlit on the CW called "The Hunt".

Well after this brilliant last season it is so very clear that "Homeland" will be winning another season next fall. If you haven't seen this, watch the clip below where Meredith discusses the personal story surrounding writing for a bipolar character. <br />

8) If you recall, there was quite some hoopla around some of the problems surrounding the first iteration of the Broadway show "Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark". <b><a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/2010/09/mask-and-wig-alum-writes-hot-new.html#more" target="new">Glen Berger (C'89, Mask and Wig)</a></b> who wrote the book for the show will now be writing another book --this one a tell-all book called "Song of Spider-Man: The Inside Story of the most Controversial Musical in Broadway History". Look for it next year! (<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/spider-man-co-writer-book-deal-013701679.html" target="new">source</a>) Should be a good read.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
9) While this isn't airing on TV, I love this viral video that <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/Aaron%20Karo" target="new"><b>Aaron Karo (W'01)</b></a> created called "Brutally Honest Answers to Teenage Girls' Questions". Just watch it!<br />

If you think you've seen all the Zombie film and TV premises, think again!<br />
<br />
On February 1, Penn alum producer <b><a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/Todd%20Lieberman" target="_blank">Todd Lieberman (C'95, Mask and Wig, AEPi)</a></b> releases his film <i>Warm Bodies</i> and it looks awesome! <br />
<br />
After the jump, check out <b>the exclusive photo Todd supplied us with from the film</b>, learn more about the film's unique premise ...and find out the big project Todd's about to start in a few weeks!<br />

In the image above, (l to r) "M" (Rob Corddry) and "R" (Nicholas Hoult) are highly unusual zombies who are becoming increasingly more human in <i>Warm Bodies</i>. (By the way, if you're a fan of the TV show "Children's Hospital", you may not recognize Rob Corddry without his clown makeup)<br />
<br />
Here's the shpiel about the film:<br />
<blockquote><span style="color: black;">After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world.</span></blockquote>Todd tells me they shot the film in Montreal and a big chunk of the movie in an abandoned airport there: "I love the way the movie turned out. It's very unique and blends many genres together."<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected this week on the east coast by Hurricane Sandy. <br />
<br />
Apparently, the storm didn't seem to keep the students at Penn down... '<br />
<br />
After the jump, check out this video of Hurricane Sandy hitting the Penn campus and see what some students did in the Quad to pass the time!<br />
<br />
Also, see what the windtunnel did to one girl's umbrella and check out the enormous amount of leaves I've probably ever seen at one time on <a href="http://draft.blogger.com/duelingtampons.com/search/label/Locust%20Walk">Locust Walk</a>. <br />

Here's the shpiel about the film:<br />
<blockquote>"In the new out-loud comedy “Pitch Perfect,” Beca (Anna Kendrick) is that girl who’d rather listen to what’s coming out of her headphones than what’s coming out of anyone’s mouth. Arriving at Barden University, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she would never have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together. The movie also stars Skylar Astin, Rebel Wilson, Adam DeVine, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow, Alexis Knapp, Ester Dean, Hana Mae Lee, with John Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks."</blockquote><br />

I must say how impressed I've been seeing all of the <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/Flash%20Mob" target="new">organized Flash Mobs</a> from the Penn undergrads through the years. <br />
<br />
After the jump, check out the Gangnam Style Flash Mob that hit superblock this past weekend!<br />

<br />
By the looks of my Facebook feed, just like <a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/Emmys" target="new">previous year's Emmys</a>, there were a bunch of Penn alumni at tonight's Emmy Ceremony.<br />
<br />
If you caught the "Homeland" win for Best Drama tonight, you would have heard a thank you to writer and Penn alum <b>Meredith Stiehm (C'<a href="http://www.duelingtampons.com/search/label/1990" target="_blank">90</a>)</b>.<br />
<br />
If you don't know about Meredith, she's had a great track record here in Hollywood. After the jump, find out more about the popular show that was her claim to fame.<br />
