Jodi Lipper moved from her native New York to Los Angeles after graduating from Barnard College at Columbia University. She spent four years there as the Manager of Development for Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions. Jodi developed several projects there, from acquisition, adaptation and editing to the screen, including BRUSH WITH FATE, which was based on Susan Vreeland’s novel GIRL IN HYACINTH BLUE, John Grisham’s A PAINTED HOUSE, the highest rated TV movie in over three years, THE MAGIC OF ORDINARY DAYS, starring Keri Russel and Skeet Ulrich, and Anne Tyler’s BACK WHEN WE WERE GROWNUPS, which earned Blythe Danner both Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her performance.Though Jodi loved the sun, talking about astrology, her giant green apartment and eating frozen yogurt with Cerina every day, her inner New Yorker cried out for crowded subways and nipping taxis. She returned to New York and went from editing screenplays to books at Simon & Schuster. There, she worked with several fabulous bestselling authors, including Jodi Picoult, Diane Setterfield, Vince Flynn, and Brad Thor. Knowing that she and Cerina were also meant to be fabulous bestselling authors themselves, Jodi left Simon & Schuster to spend more time writing and editing on her own. She now writes grant proposals and stewardship reports for the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, works as a freelance writer, and is currently writing her first novel. She is thrilled to be partnered with Cerina to help teach all of the pretty ladies around the world how hot they can be!
Cerina Vincent was crowned Miss Nevada
Teen USA at age 16, but she soon realized that she was so not a "beauty
queen" – those girls are nuts. After moving to LA-LA Land, her acting
career took off at age 18. She showed off both her acting skills and
athleticism as Maya, The Yellow Power Ranger in the Fox series, POWER
RANGERS LOST GALAXY. Since yellow spandex isn't flattering on anyone
over 20, she quickly went from a TV super hero to a silver screen sex
symbol as "Areola" in NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE. MAXIM, one of the many
magazines she has appeared in, wrote, "We have photographed beautiful
women all over the world, and Cerina Vincent has the best body, period."
But Cerina is not only recognized for her fit, natural physique. She was
nominated for the Saturn award's "Best Face of the Future" for her
outstanding lead performance in the horror sensation, CABIN FEVER.
Cerina's face can also be seen along with some of the biggest television
stars in her guest-starring roles on shows such as, ALLY MCBEAL,
FELICITY, MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, SEX, LOVE AND SECRETS, CSI, and BONES.
Cerina has also starred in a ton of television pilots, showing off both
her comedy and dramatic chops, so fingers crossed that one day her shows
get picked up by the networks! She has also done a ton of low-budget
indie horror movies that you may get kick out of, starred in the action
thriller IT WAITS, and showed her edgier, more dramatic side in DARKENED
ROOM, a short film created for her and directed by David Lynch.
More of Cerina's comedy can be seen in the film ONE PART SUGAR (coming
out in 2008) where she plays Danny DeVito's wife, and shows a bit more
skin than her Italian Catholic family will like, but whatever, it's a
tough business. And speaking of Italian, Cerina stars in her first
romantic comedy (yay!) called EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE ITALIAN! Cerina is
very excited about this film, and it will out for the world to enjoy
March 7,
2008.
In addition to HOW TO EAT LIKE A HOT CHICK, Cerina has co-written
screenplays and TV pilots, But most importantly, she has figured out how
to maintain a pretty kick-ass body while still enjoying chocolate cake
and beer, and is excited, along with gal pal Jodi, to share their
secrets with hot chicks all over the world!
