How to Win Friends and Influence People

London, UK

When I started out in the world of sales I was handed a copy of Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People".



But tomorrow night in Leicester Square, that literary piece of brilliance meets its nemesis as Leicester Square Television will be there to present for you the UK Premiere of "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" starring Simon Pegg and Kirsten Dunst.

Righteous Kill - "Fan-Cam"

London, UK




London: 14 September 2008
Premiere organised by DDA Public Relations.

www.lsq.tv for all premieres.
A lovely late summer Sunday afternoon in the Square. The strong sunlight pierces my eyes as I turn the camera along the red carpet to glimpse two of cinemas icons; De Niro and Pacino, coming towards me. Pinch me. Can you believe it? Thirteen years since theyve appeared together and here they are in front of me. Pacino arrived first and spend more time with fans and media. De Niro too made sure a good number of the screamers got signed but he ran out of signing power before he got to our end. One nice story. A very talented painter* had done two super portraits one of each of the stars and he got them both signed by their subject. Hell be walking on air. Another fan had Pacino sign his Raging Bull CD an offer a smiling Al couldnt refuse.

Leicester Square Television - Year One

London, UK

November 27th, 2008 marks the first anniversary of Leicester Square Television. So I've decided to highlight some of the best moments.

One of the most popular Premieres was St Trinians, Russell Brand and all. The main LSQ clip (which has had over 23,000 hits) can be found by going to this link and here's the "fan-cam" footage (which has reached over 63,000 hits on You Tube). My co-presenter Claire Bueno was on the red carpet with me on that chilly night.

Blog of the Week

Has to be Director Tom from the States. It's funny, full of good stuff and if you're into corporate video, you'll love it. I enjoyed reading his personal branding blog post. Read it for yourself here.

More and more companies and organisations are looking to use video in some form or another to promote their products and services. Soon, the brands will also have their own Web TV channels. It will really take off when IPTV becomes readily available. At LSQ TV, we're excited by the prospect.

Blog of the Week

...............has to be the new offering from my colleagues at Leicester Square Television. Their blog highlights the previous premieres in Leicester Square together with other events in and around the area. Claire and I continue to be fortunate in presenting the best from London's West End which is set to continue unabatted throughout the year. Do you realise that I'll have to present, along with my fellow presenters, something in the region of 150 Premiers this year. That excludes the theatre and restaurant reviews we'll be involved with. Details of forthcoming film premieres can be found at Premier Hub. One celeb presenter I was hoping to catch up with last Thursday at the opening of "Make me a Song" was Myleene Klass. Unfortunately she was unable to make the event at the New Players Theatre.

Today, March 9th, in Leicester Square, there's a just preview for 10000 BC. So no red carpet! But of course, there will be plenty of glitz and glamour at The Cannes Film Festival in a few weeks time. Question is, will Jeremy Jacobs and Claire Bueno be presenting from the Croisette?

Tom Hanks in Leicester Square last night

London, UK




The only man other than Humphrey Bogart to win back to back Oscars - Tom Hanks proved that premieres are much like a box of chocolates - you don't quite know what you're gonna get - as Forest Gump might say. It was a chill and rain-free evening as the fans felt the buzz of anticipation about Tom's appearance tonight; would he sign and pose? - he's notably frugal with the autographs. He did sign some, yet only a few - my friend in the fanline missed out because a professional hunter got his picture in front lightning quick. Director Mike Nichols signed with the fans and remarked the cancelled Golden Globes meant he was a double winner because not only would he be spared the pain of attending, any award would be delivered in the mail! Also there was Tara Palmer-Tomkinson who's always happy to spend time with the folks who travelled from as far as New York and Berlin to be here.

Girls Aloud to split?

London, UK

If the rumours turn out to be true Girls Aloud may break up this year. Pity they seemed quite together at the recent premiere of St Trinians. See here.
