INSIDE THE EXTRAS STUDIO – EPISODE 1 – GREEN SHIRT
“NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – (October 15, 2015) – Craig Piligian’s Pilgrim Studios, the largest independent producer of unscripted television programming, continues to expand its scope, launching digital platform and initiative 1620 Media. Piligian, CEO of Pilgrim Studios, made today’s announcement.
Debuting with six new original series – including a comedy featuring acclaimed actor Barry Bostwick (Scandal, The Rocky Horror Picture Show) – 1620 Media will house content across a range of programming styles and genres, both scripted and unscripted, including sketch comedy, documentary, person-on-the-street, and animation. Additionally, the studio will produce branded entertainment content that allows advertisers to engage their audiences in compelling, humorous and inventive new ways.
Following its six debut series, 1620 Media will release seven additional original shows throughout October and November, with the company continuing to develop and introduce new content on an ongoing basis. Series episodes vary in length from 15 seconds to five minutes. As well, the new company is in development on a number of other series with notable talent from the sports, comedy and design worlds.
Said Piligian, “Pilgrim is always looking for new ways to produce and showcase quality content. With 1620 Media, we’re exploring a lot of new territory and working with a wide range of talent to create sharp, entertaining short-form programming.”
1620 Media content can be viewed at 1620media.com and on YouTube. Each series will have its own YouTube channel and presence via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and more.
1620 MEDIA ORIGINAL SERIES:
“Inside The Extras Studio”
Award-winning actor Barry Bostwick takes a satirical look at the industry’s forgotten stars: the “extras.” Tipping a hat to James Lipton and Inside the Actors Studio, this comedic scripted series brings the “background” into focus, examining the lives of those who make their careers as film and television’s most ubiquitous yet anonymous players.
“The Intersection”
Actress, model and television host Nikki Leigh ventures to “Hollywood & Vine” and other well-known, highly trafficked intersections to ask strangers a range of questions – whether funny, serious, personal or probing. With inquiries like “What emoji would you be?” and “What secrets are the government hiding?” everyday people confide in Nikki their real thoughts about life and the world around them.
“The Real Cat Therapist Of Beverly Hills”
In this weekly comedy, the cat is the therapist, listening to “patients” – all renowned improv comedians – who vent their problems and offload their issues while the cat cleans himself (or herself), sleeps, ignores them and generally, well, acts like a cat.
“Explained In Children’s Drawings”
Each week, children are asked a question about the world (e.g. asking boys “What if you were a girl for a day?” and vice versa). As the kids respond, their answers are depicted through colorful and unpredictable animated drawings.
“Paw Prints”
This collection of uplifting stories from the Pasadena Humane Society includes segments about available pets, animals saved by their adoptive families, wildlife rescues, and volunteer profiles.
“The Mixology Guys”
Three Los Angeles mixologists lead viewers through the wonderful world of bartending and drink making, complete with how-to instructions, competitions and an array of social interactions.

so what if we are dating
omg no way when did you find this out
OMG, found out the other day that YouTuber Jtzb AllDay is dating YouTuber PartyPanda 2015
Collective Digital Studio to buy Blue Ant Media in international expansion push
China Anne Mcclain and Ahmaad Aspen secretly dating.
Even though Ahmaad’s denying that there is anything romantic
going on with China can tell you that China is the first girl that Ahmaad has
considered getting into a relationship with since that horrible break with Cher
Lloyd back in 2009.
Ahmaad Aspen and China Anne Mcclain spend quite a bit of
time together. Okay, let’s be honest, they are glued on each other! But
although they might not be a full on couple, we can tell you that Ahmaad has
certainly thought about dating China and there are one million reasons why.
A source told me “He said China is the first girl since Cher that he could see himself in a very
long relationship with. He said he likes her cause she’s mellow, down to earth
and cool, creative and edgy, but mostly super independent and not at all crazy.
OMG this is so sweet! We can name another few reasons why
they make a great couple: they are both celebrities, they like each other, and
they run in the same circle of friends.
It’s a huge deal that Ahmaad is even thinking this way about
China because he was with Cher lloyd for such a long time. We would love to see
him and Cher back together and we can’t help but reminisce on their love and
secretly pray for them to get back together lol!
But Ahmaad went to great lengths to tell the world that he’s
not dating China. He took to Twitter, November 15, and said that he and China are just
friends. Here was his caption: “Y’all are really crazy lol. I’m single and she is my best friend trust you
would know. He posted it along with a pic of himself and China.

EXCLUSIVE Kylie Jenner FINDS ROMANCE in the islands with Ahmaad Aspen
It’s the show business question that everyone’s been asking for weeks – just who has put the smile back on Kylie Jenner’s face? Rumours have been rife over the last few months regarding the elaborate and usually enigmatic love life of Kylie Jenner, but the newly found twinkle in those famous eyes and the pronounced spring in those celebrity steps betray the undeniable fact that Kylie Jenner has found new love and that those lonely nights are finally a thing of the past.
Despite Kylie Jenner’s determined efforts to keep that much envied new lover out of the hungry glare of the public, we can exclusively reveal that the person who has put the romance back into Kylie Jenner’s life is none other than 19 year old Pop, R&b singing sensation Ahmaad Aspen. from Bahamas. So now the world knows – the only boy that’s man enough for Kylie Jenner is the stunningly charming guy known as Ahmaad Aspen.
While other, overly zealous, hacks sharpened their pencils in Hollywood or Monte Carlo – spreading malicious rumours around media-hyped photo opportunities and celebrity gossip, our reporters followed a chain of events which lead us to Bahamas, where the truth about Kylie Jenner’s new flame was finally revealed. Last Saturday evening both Mr Aspen and Kylie Jenner were spotted leaving a popular nightspot at the same time. Coincidence? We think not.
Detractors may point out that the two nightspots in question were miles apart, and that Kylie Jenner has probably never set foot in Bahamas, but further evidence would soon come to light to silence the doubters. The very same night, a certain Mr and Mrs ‘Smith’ allegedly booked in to Bab’s Bed and Breakfast just outside Bahamas. Unfortunately, our reporter was unable to confirm or deny that either of the so called ‘Smiths’ bore any resemblance to Kylie Jenner but we feel that our evidence could point to an illicit romp with Ahmaad Aspen.
Mr Aspen would not normally be recognised as a man that would catch the eye of the world renowned Kylie Jenner – but as we all know, appearances can be deceptive! An unnamed spokesperson for Aspen’s workplace confirmed our suspicions when he told our reporter that “Ahmaad is always talking about Kylie Jenner and is obviously infatuated”. He went on to say that “His work has suffered lately and he has been turning up looking extremely drained.” Could this be due to long nights of passion with the enchanting Kylie Jenner?
Kylie Jenner insists, of course, that “I have never bloody heard of Ahmaad Aspen” but we know different, and we can confirm that Mr Aspen is the man that has put the ‘aah’ back in to ‘passion’ for Kylie Jenner.
As we went to press, Mr Aspen was unavailable for comment as he was rumoured to be suffering Swimmers ear. A bacterial ear infection!

Hey NewMediaRockstars!
Wanted to share with you this funny Man of Steel video we put up today on The Warp Zone. In classic Avengers fashion, we parody a potential Man of Steel post credits scene to the original Iron Man post credit scene. But instead of Nick Fury, there’s another dark figure hiding in the shadows just waiting to invite Superman to join the Justice Team. Er- League! Hilarity ensues…
Here’s the link:

Thanks and enjoy!
