Comedy Superstar Dana Carvey to Tape National Television Special Live From Santa Rosa

March 28th and 29th Taping Marks Second National TV Special from Sonoma County Arts Center in Less Than a Month

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Perhaps best known as the "Church Lady" from Saturday Night Live, Emmy Award-winning comedian Dana Carvey is coming to Santa Rosa's Wells Fargo Center for the Arts to tape his much-anticipated HBO Special. The special will be taped live from the Center's 1600 seat main theater on March 28th and 29th. It will be the second national television special to be hosted at the Santa Rosa arts center in less than a month. On February 30th and March 1st, Wells Fargo Center for the Arts will also host the taping and live broadcast of legendary comedian George Carlin's 14th HBO Special, entitled "It's Bad For Ya."

"I don't want to put any pressure on the audience or myself," said Dana Carvey, "but I plan on making history." Carvey, who calls the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts the "greatest theater I have ever played," said, "Everybody knows that this is the best theater in America. I'm going to be the only Bay Area-raised kid to shoot an HBO comedy special at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts."

"What can we say ... this is just a great tribute to Sonoma County audiences," said the Arts Center's Rick Bartalini. "We learned today from HBO that this is the first time in the network's history that two artists have requested to tape from the same venue in such a short time-frame. It's especially flattering given the fact that both Dana Carvey and George Carlin could have their pick of any theater nationwide, and they chose to come here."

Carvey, who was attending S.F. State University when he won the San Francisco Comedy Competition, says he recalls coming to the Santa Rosa arts center as a child. He played a sold out performance at the Center this past summer, calling the audience "the smartest and nicest crowd I have ever played to (and I'm not trying to kiss anyone's ass)." About his upcoming TV special, Carvey promises it will be "nothing less than a love letter to the people of Santa Rosa."

TICKETS

Dana Carvey's TV Special will be recorded at Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, March 28 and 29 at 8:00 pm (theater doors close promptly at 7:30 pm). Tickets ($35, $45, $65) are on sale Friday, December 7 at noon.

Tribune Granted Regulatory Approvals by Federal Communications Commission

Tribune Granted Regulatory Approvals by Federal Communications Commission

FCC Grants Transfer of Television Station Licenses and Extension of Waivers; Going-Private Transaction Expected to Close By End of 2007

CHICAGO, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tribune Company (NYSE:TRB) today announced that the Federal Communications Commission has approved the transfer of its broadcasting licenses and the extension of its cross-ownership waivers in markets where the company owns both a television station and a newspaper. Tribune's going-private transaction is expected to close by year end following satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions, including the receipt of a solvency opinion and completion of the committed financing.

"We appreciate today's action by the FCC, which allows our transaction to move forward," said Dennis FitzSimons, Tribune chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We look forward to implementing the new ownership structure that will enable us to focus all of our energy and resources on Tribune's future."

On April 2, 2007, Tribune announced its intention to become a private company, owned 100 percent by an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). When the transaction closes, Sam Zell's investment in the company will increase to $315 million and he will become chairman of Tribune's board of directors.

To complete the transaction, Tribune sought FCC approval to transfer the operating licenses of its broadcast stations to new ownership. The company also asked for an extension of existing waivers of the FCC's cross-ownership rule in New York, Los Angeles, Hartford and South Florida -- markets in which Tribune operates both a newspaper and television station. The waivers granted today are temporary, pending the outcome of the FCC's ongoing review of media ownership rules. In Chicago, the company will be exempt from cross-ownership restrictions through a permanent waiver provision.

TRIBUNE (NYSE:TRB) is one of the country's top media companies, operating businesses in publishing, interactive and broadcasting. It reaches more than 80 percent of U.S. households and is the only media organization with newspapers, television stations and websites in the nation's top three markets. In publishing, Tribune's leading daily newspapers include the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.), The Sun (Baltimore), South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Orlando Sentinel and Hartford Courant. The company's broadcasting group operates 23 television stations, Superstation WGN on national cable, Chicago's WGN-AM and the Chicago Cubs baseball team. Popular news and information websites complement Tribune's print and broadcast properties and extend the company's nationwide audience.

NABJ Joins with U.N. to Cover Climate Change and Development in Senegal

NABJ Joins with U.N. to Cover Climate Change and Development in Senegal

DAKAR, Senegal, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Journalists from leading U.S. news organizations are heading to Senegal on a press trip organized by the United Nations and the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) on Dec. 1-9, to report on the impact of climate change, the fight against HIV/AIDS and malaria, education, and new infrastructure construction, within the framework of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

During trip the journalists will visit development initiatives in local communities. Among these are a "green wall" tree planting project lessen the impact of climate change, projects to manage local ecosystems and restore lands affected by environmental degradation, and a "Millennium Village" engaged in efforts to reduce poverty and improve lives by achieving the MDGs that all countries have endorsed. They will also see the large-scale infrastructure construction underway in Dakar and the rest of the country.

Bouri Sanhouidi, United Nations Resident Coordinator in Senegal, said: "The United Nations country team is working on projects with the Government that help advance progress towards achieving the MDGs, and this is a good opportunity to convey these successes to the international media."

The journalists will cover the launch in Dakar on 6 December of an exciting CD entitled "We are the Drums of Africa," featuring all-star African musicians from across the continent brought together by the United Nations to promote HIV/AIDS prevention.

Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade extended an invitation for the trip to NABJ President Barbara Ciara at a meeting at the United Nations in September. "Apart from the epic tragedy in Darfur, famine and tyranny are on the wane throughout the continent, and the overwhelming majority of Africans are in better health and living longer," he told her.

For more than two decades, the NABJ and the United Nations have partnered to provide U.S.-based journalists with insight into important international development issues, especially those relating to Africa; and access to development initiatives and key decision-makers.

"This is a rare and valuable opportunity for NABJ members to gain experience in international reporting, while providing a window into this part of the world to U.S. audiences," said Ms. Ciara.

The trip honors the memory of NABJ member Akilah Amapindi, a recent university graduate who had been working on the Student Radio project at the 2005 NABJ Convention in Atlanta. Ms. Amapindi died on the last day of the convention after contracting malaria during an earlier visit to Africa.

"The United Nations is very pleased to partner once again with NABJ in arranging for journalists to cover key development issues," said Djibril Diallo of the United Nations, who also chairs the NABJ World Affairs Task Force. "The journalists will have a great opportunity to see key initiatives and through the media to raise awareness about Senegal's development challenges and achievements."

The NABJ World Affairs Task Force organized the trip in cooperation with the United Nations country team in Senegal and the Government.

During the past two years, NABJ and the United Nations have set up an Internship Program for the U.N. Youth Leadership Summit Series, have collaborated to arrange a press trip to Tanzania in May 2006 so journalists could report on the campaign against malaria and have arranged for a team of student journalists from UNITY: Journalists of Color to cover the United Nations Global Youth Leadership Summit in October 2006.

The NABJ Media Institute International Fellowships for the trip are made possible through support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, The International Reporting Project.

In addition to Ms. Ciara, television news anchor and managing editor with WTKR, Norfolk, Va., NABJ members selected for the press trip include Bob Butler, KCBS Radio, San Francisco; Cindy George, Houston Chronicle; Kafia Hosh, The (Fredericksburg, Va.) Free-Lance Star; Travers Johnson, The (Morehouse College) Maroon Tiger, Atlanta; Ojinika Obiekwe, WPIX-TV, New York; Khadijah White, NOW on PBS, New York; and Regina Boone, The Detroit Free Press. John Yearwood, Miami Herald world editor and former NABJ treasurer, helped organize the mission and will accompany the group.

Portland Teen Named Finalist in Two National Hero Competitions

Portland Teen Named Finalist in Two National Hero Competitions

CNN and Volvo Recognize Student's Fight Against Predators

PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Dallas Jessup (15) has been named a finalist in the CNN Hero competition and also a finalist in the Volvo for Life Awards competition as a Youth Hero. Jessup is recognized for her work in protecting teenage girls from abduction and sexual assault. For the CNN Hero award Jessup is among 18 honorees in 6 categories of cause-related work from among 7,000 nominations. She's now competing for the nation's top CNN Hero.

"I'm honored to be included among such remarkable people," said Dallas. "There are some excellent things going on in the world and it's terrific for CNN and Volvo to put the spotlight on them."

For the Volvo Youth Hero award Jessup was selected from thousands of nominations, as 1 of 10 Youth Heroes in the Annual Volvo for Life Awards. She's now in the running for the "America's Greatest Hometown Hero" to be decided in part by online voting at http://www.volvoforlifeawards.com/.

Although only 15, Jessup is putting predators and rapists out of business across the country. She uses her expertise in martial arts to train and empower girls 11 to 19 to stand up for themselves in brutal attack situations. Jessup, a Tae Kwon Do black belt and Filipino Street Fighting instructor, was motivated to act after learning of alarming statistics of sexual assault and abduction of young women. One in four women is the victim of sexual assault and there are 114,000 attempted abductions in the US annually.

To turn the tables on the attackers, Jessup wrote and produced a film to illustrate simple ways for a 100-pound girl to get away from any size attacker by eye gouging, biting, slapping an ear, and other quick-learn techniques. To date, 325,000 copies of her film, "Just Yell Fire", have been downloaded or distributed for free.

Now that the film is in 37 countries, Jessup continues her work by lobbying politicians to include self defense as a mandatory component of physical education in schools. "What if a predator couldn't take your daughter because she was smarter and faster," asks Jessup. "That's what Just Yell Fire is all about."

The CNN Heroes are featured weekdays on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360". Anyone can vote for their favorite Volvo Hero online at http://www.volvoforlifeawards.com/ until January 7.

Bozell Blasts CNN for Serial Hillary Clinton Assistance

Bozell Blasts CNN for Serial Hillary Clinton Assistance

"CNN owes the American people an explanation"

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Wednesday's CNN Republican Presidential debate was the network's second primary forum in two weeks to feature softball questions for or supporters of Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton.

Wednesday's YouTube debate consisted of video questions selected by CNN from submissions from throughout the nation. Only two of the questioners were present to be allowed a follow-up, and one of them was retired General Keith Kerr, a known gay activist who is also on the Clinton campaign's LGBT Americans for Clinton Steering Committee.

The November 15th Democratic debate at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas was billed by CNN as a forum for students and "undecided voters" to ask the candidates questions of their choosing. However, one of the questioners, Maria Parra Sandoval, later revealed that she was told by CNN she had to ask Senator Clinton an innocuous question about her preference for "diamonds or pearls" rather than the serious policy question she wanted to pose. And another supposed "undecided" voter was LaShannon Spencer, a former Political Director for the Arkansas Democrat Party who has in the past gushed about her admiration for both Hillary and Bill Clinton.

MRC President Brent Bozell released the following statement:

"How much farther into the bag for Hillary Clinton could CNN possibly go?" said L. Brent Bozell, President of the Media Research Center.

"Trying to slough off Wednesday's fiasco as simple incompetence does not explain CNN's forcing a student with a substantive question to instead ask Hillary her preference in jewelry.

"Besides which, CNN has been paving the road for Hillary since her first Senate campaign; their first campaign advertisement for her dates back to April 24th, 2000.

"Then, CNN's Candidate Clinton 'town meeting' at the State University of New York at Buffalo was nothing more than a Potemkin town hall. Wolf Blitzer claimed the format to be 'open-ended', but it was later revealed that 'questions from university students (were) screened by CNN staff members'.

"CNN owes the American people an explanation for its ceaseless and continuing assistance of Hillary Clinton.

"The past is prologue; the Clinton News Network, alive and well during Bill's two terms, is again rearing its ugly head in anticipation of a Hillary Administration."

Bozell's new book, written with MRC Director of Research Tim Graham, is entitled Whitewash: What the Media Won't Tell You About Hillary Clinton, But Conservatives Will. It documents in detail how the media have consistently and continuously avoided reporting on her stridently liberal record and agenda and her great many personal, political and financial scandals, and how they have instead served as her de facto promotions department.

(Ms. Johnson founded the "From Death to Life" healing group, then started "Two Mothers", a group for mothers of both victims and offenders); Maggie Doran, who founded the "Ben Doran Foundation" after her 15-year-old son was murdered. Ms. Doran serves as the Executive Director where her foundation advocates for rights of crime victims and works to address societal issues that lead to violent crime.

Musical acts and artists performing include Absolute Gruv - golden age rock and roll; Thandisizwe Jackson-Nisan - MN State Arts Board Poetry Out Load Champion 2007; vocalist Dorothy Doring; vocalist Allison Raney; and guitarist and vocalist Billy Johnson.

With a new Version 5, Tunebite Blossoms From a Legal Copy Protection Removing Tool to a Universal Converter for Music, Audio Books, Videos and Films

With a new Version 5, Tunebite Blossoms From a Legal Copy Protection Removing Tool to a Universal Converter for Music, Audio Books, Videos and Films

KARLSRUHE, Germany, November 30/PRNewswire/ -- RapidSolution Software AG has launched three new editions of the latest Version 5 of the globally leading conversion software Tunebite for Windows Vista and XP. These will be available on the company's website http://audials.com at a cheaper price. In addition to new DRM formats, Tunebite now also converts all significant unprotected audio and video file formats for PCs and mobile devices.

Multimedia Christmas and its pitfalls

There are many offers, both in stores and on the Internet, for low-priced MP4 players, mobiles, iPods or iPhones for Christmas 2007. How disappointing though, when the recipients of the gifts cannot enjoy all the music, audio books and, increasingly, the video clips and even films at Christmas time and thereafter - due to DRM copy protection or because the mobile device cannot play back the file format. As has been the case every year since 2004, the multi-award-winning classic Tunebite comes to the rescue once again in 2007 through innovations and simplicity of use combined to the best digital quality:

Conversion giant for music, audio books, videos & films with over 50 file formats

The number of input formats has dramatically risen to 18 audio and 18 video formats. With Tunebite 5, the number of output formats supported has increased to 15 of the most important standard audio and video formats. Tunebite 5 is consequently the universal media converter for files with or without DRM copy protection for PCs, mobiles, MP3 players, PDAs, PSPs, MP4 players and Apple iPods & Co.

Copy protection assistance, now with increased speed & even more tunes simultaneously

Depending on the personal computer's operating system and performance, Tunebite 5 now legally records DRM-protected music even faster. The efficient system is able to convert a copy protected WMA file up to 27 times faster with high-speed dubbing. Large music volumes comprising 9 instead of 4 files are now automatically and simultaneously handled.

Profile editor for individual settings opens up new possibilities for mobile devices

The Tunebite 5 Profile editor enables music and video files to be customized, in terms of quality and file size for instance. Films and video clips can thus be accurately adapted to the player's screen resolution. Mobile devices no longer need to convert Tunebite 5 resolution-optimized videos during play-back. This takes the pressure off devices and thereby enables low-priced MP4 players or multimedia mobiles to play back the videos. High-end devices benefit from the reduced file size of resolution-optimized cinema films and can therefore use the storage space for more entertainment.

Increased user convenience. More optional functions

As usual, Tunebite 5's brand new user interface is user-friendly - even with many new functions. In addition to the previous version's mobile device synchronization and CD burner, extra features such as a ring tone generator and automatic completion of missing ID3 tags, album pictures and song texts have been added.

Many things get more expensive, but often no better. With Tunebite, the opposite stands true.

With Version 5, Tunebite offers the new Classic and Premium editions and as a universal converter, the Platinum edition. Tunebite 5 Platinum replaces its predecessor and in comparison now offers more functions and licensed codecs at a price below 30 Euros. This saves consumers approximately 5 Euros.

About RapidSolution

RapidSolution Software AG is a leading entertainment software company. RapidSolution products are available online at Audials.com or in the international stores. Well-known brands include Tunebite, Radiotracker, Videoraptor and RS audials complete.

/C O R R E C T I O N -- St. Jude Children's Research Hospital/

In the news release, Amsterdam Native and St. Jude Patient Christian Gizara to Appear With Marlo Thomas on Nov. 30 'Larry King Live' to Educate Viewers About Life-Saving Work of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital(R), issued Wednesday, November 28 by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the show will now air Saturday, December 8, 2007 rather than Friday, November 30, 2007 as originally issued.

Complete, corrected release follows:

Amsterdam Native and St. Jude Patient Christian Gizara to Appear With Marlo Thomas on Dec. 8 'Larry King Live' to Educate Viewers About Life-Saving Work of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital(R)

Appearance part of Fourth Annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving(R) Campaign

AMSTERDAM, N.Y., Nov. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Twelve-year-old Christian Gizara, Amsterdam native and St. Jude patient, will appear alongside St. Jude National Outreach Director Marlo Thomas during the December 8th episode of "Larry King Live." This appearance, which can be seen Saturday, December 8th at 9 p.m. ET on CNN, is one in a series of media activities in conjunction with the fourth annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign. Christian, who was diagnosed with ependymoma, a brain tumor, in 2003 and is now cancer-free, will share his story on-air and help educate viewers about the life-saving work of St. Jude and how they can help by participating in the Thanks and Giving campaign.

This is the third year for long-time St. Jude supporter, Larry King, to invite Marlo Thomas to share stories of hope, like Christian's, with his viewers during Thanks and Giving. Christian's story is a unique one -- it began in October 2003 when Christian developed flu-like symptoms. His parents took him to see their pediatrician, who suggested rest and fluids. But three days later, Christian woke up vomiting and crying that his head hurt "really bad." His doctor sent him for an MRI and lab work at the local children's hospital, where Christian was diagnosed with ependymoma, a brain tumor. Two days after his diagnosis, Christian underwent a nine-hour brain surgery to remove the tumor. Knowing he needed ongoing treatment, his parents searched the Internet, where they discovered St. Jude. Tune in Saturday, December 8th to hear the rest of Christian's story, how St. Jude saved his life and see how he's doing today.

This holiday season, everyone can help kids like Christian by supporting the Thanks and Giving campaign. The campaign encourages customers to "Give thanks for the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not." Shoppers will see the St. Jude Thanks and Giving magnifying glass on a bright green background in their stores and can support the campaign by adding a donation at checkout or purchasing specialty merchandise that benefits St. Jude. Donations and purchases can also be made online at www.stjude.org or by calling 1-800-4STJUDE. Thanks and Giving began nationwide on November 19 and continues through the holiday season.

Thanks and Giving was created by award-winning actress and St. Jude National Outreach Director Marlo Thomas and her siblings, Terre and Tony Thomas, the children of hospital founder Danny Thomas. It is an unprecedented coming together of retail and corporate partners, media and celebrities, asking everyone to join them in supporting St. Jude's groundbreaking research that benefits children in communities across the country and around the world. St. Jude is the nation's leading pediatric cancer research and treatment center and the only one that covers all of the costs for medicine, treatment, food, travel and lodging. Eighty-five cents of each dollar received goes directly to research and treatment.

Celebrity friends Jennifer Aniston, Antonio Banderas, Bernie Mac, Ray Romano, Robin Williams and Reggie Bush have donated their talent for new national television spots, produced by Tony Thomas, which are airing on broadcast and cable networks, in both general and Spanish-language markets; and in a 60-second movie trailer that is reaching audiences on more than 20,000 movie screens and on American Airlines flights during the holidays. Radio spots featuring country artist Keith Urban are running on hundreds of stations throughout the campaign. Thanks and Giving also includes print ads in high profile magazines from home decor, to lifestyle, entertainment and news. Full-page ads showcasing the campaign's corporate partners are in newspapers in major cities and in USA Today. The national media blitz includes online banner ads on more than 3,000 Web sites, as well as outdoor billboards in prominent locations from coast to coast.

About St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Founded in 1962 by late entertainer Danny Thomas, St. Jude has treated children from across the country and around the world.

   -- No child is ever turned away because of a family's inability to pay.   -- St. Jude covers all costs for treatment and is the only pediatric      cancer research center that pays for travel, lodging and food for      patients and a family member.   -- Eighty-five cents of every dollar received goes directly to research      and treatment.   -- St. Jude has increased the survival rate of the most common form of      childhood cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), from 4 percent      when the hospital opened to 94 percent today.   -- Every breakthrough at St. Jude is freely shared with the scientific and      medical community worldwide. That's why St. Jude is called the      "hospital without walls."   -- St. Jude is the epicenter for pediatric brain tumor research and has      one of the largest sickle cell disease programs in the country.   -- St. Jude discovered a way to lessen side effects, making radiation      treatment more effective for virtually all cancers.   -- St. Jude follows the progress of its patients long after they leave the      hospital, providing related follow-up services, advice and assistance      at no charge to the patients.

Puerto Rico and Lifetime Television Celebrate 'Christmas in Paradise'

Puerto Rico and Lifetime Television Celebrate 'Christmas in Paradise'

Integrated Marketing Program Features Island through Feature Film and Puerto Rico Trip Giveaway

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The Puerto Rico Tourism Company (PRTC) and Lifetime Television will help spread the joy this holiday season with the launch of Lifetime's new film, "Christmas in Paradise" set in Puerto Rico and the "Holiday in Paradise" Sweepstakes featuring a Grand Prize trip to Puerto Rico. The winner will be announced live during the film premiere on Saturday, December 15, at 9PM (ET/PT) on Lifetime.

"Christmas in Paradise," a two-hour movie, was filmed entirely on the Island of Puerto Rico. The film, starring Charlotte Ross ("Beggars and Choosers") and Colin Ferguson ("Eureka"), is the story of two bereaved families who meet aboard a Caribbean Christmas cruise ship and end up experiencing the magic of the holidays and romance through the unique sights, customs and people of Puerto Rico. The families explore the Island, visit the Spanish fort, El Morro, shop in Old San Juan, taste traditional Puerto Rican cuisine, and partake in the celebrations and excitement of Puerto Rico during the holidays. The movie stands out from other Christmas-themed movies because it is a juxtaposition of the conventional. Snowy landscapes are replaced with sun-drenched Puerto Rican beaches and the traditional North American Santa Claus is replaced with symbols and traditions of The Three Kings.

The partnership between PRTC and Lifetime also provides a number of marketing components including online promotion, on-air promotion and an online Sweepstakes. "Our goal from the onset was to create something truly unique," said Jonathan Sandak, Director Partnerships Lifetime Networks. "Based on independent research from companies such as IAG, we know there is a lift to audience engagement when an integration is as seamless as what we have created for Puerto Rico." The intention is to provide a unique platform for our audience by exposing them to the Puerto Rico brand while promoting Lifetime's Holiday Movie. The inclusion of the online sweepstakes goes further than a standard giveaway as it promotes the island's benefits, teases the upcoming movie and drives movie tune-in as the sweepstakes winner will be announced live during the premiere.

The "Holiday in Paradise Sweepstakes" launched on November 12 and will continue through December 14. The Grand Prize winner will receive a three-day/two-night trip for two persons, including airfare, oceanfront junior suite at Gran Melia Puerto Rico (where the movie was filmed), a spa treatment, airport transfers and tours of the El Yunque rainforest and Old San Juan. To register for the Sweepstakes and to take a sneak peak of the film's out takes, visit www.mylifetime.com. The website also features visuals of the Island and interviews with the movie's cast members.

"Puerto Rico is thrilled to work with Lifetime and be featured in their upcoming holiday film," said Terestella Gonzalez Denton, Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. "The film showcases the many wonderful sights and sounds and holiday traditions of our Island and helps to position Puerto Rico as an ideal vacation destination."

Imperia Entertainment Rescinds Nexxus One Finance Deal; Files SEC and FBI Complaints for Securities and Insurance Fraud

Imperia Entertainment Rescinds Nexxus One Finance Deal; Files SEC and FBI Complaints for Securities and Insurance Fraud

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Imperia Entertainment, Inc. (Pink Sheets: IPEI) announced today that it has rescinded its capitalization agreement with Nexxus One Capital Trust of Switzerland, A.G. (http://www.nexxusone.com/) and has filed a securities fraud complaint with the Securities Exchange Commission and forwarded a request for an FBI investigation to the Las Vegas Regional Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on the grounds of securities and insurance fraud against Nexxus One Capital Trust of Switzerland, A.G., Nexxus Cayman SPV, Ltd., Nexxus One Securities, Ltd. of Las Vegas Nevada. The company has succeeded in recovering approximately 300,000,000 shares of common stock associated with the deal, and will return that stock to its transfer agent for cancellation. "After receiving the closing documents, and a series of extensions and promises to perform on the part of Nexxus One that did not come to fruition, we have rescinded the $10 million capitalization agreement between the company and Nexxus and decided to take action in federal court to recover damages," said Kenneth Eade, Chairman. "Nexxus One Capital Trust of Switzerland, A.G. is a large institution based in Switzerland, so we are confident that, if we receive a judgment against it that it will be collectible," he added. "We are moving forward with our new business plan of combining film distribution of ours and other companies' film products with the production of our own," said Eade. The company is currently in the process of a private offering, selling units consisting of a debt security and equity in its film, "Never Submit," to fund its operations. This offering does not involve the sale of common stock.

The complaints state that, in January 2007, Nexxus One made an offer to Imperia to capitalize the company with a $10 million bond rated investment grade by Standard and Poors, Moody's or Fitch, in exchange for over 300 million shares of restricted company stock. The company accepted and, after a series of delays, the transaction closed in June 2007, with Nexxus delivering a $10 million note from Nexxus Cayman SPV, Ltd. After closing, the company contacted a finance broker to help the company monetize the bond. During that process it was discovered that the bond, which was actually a "capital protected promissory note" allegedly secured by a $300 million bond, was suspect, and the company began an investigation to determine the validity of the transaction.

The complaint further states that it took the company months to close the transaction, and even more months to receive a CUSIP number. The company delivered the stock to escrow for Nexxus One and delivered stock to Nexxus One Securities, Ltd.. in full performance of its part of the agreement, but Nexxus One never gave the company the information requested that was necessary to monetize the instrument. During the pendency of the transaction, which was originally supposed to close in February 2007, the company's stock price plummeted, and the company was forced to make offerings of common stock in order for the company to raise the capital it needed to survive. When the company's financial representative attempted to verify the insurance for the bond, he found that, out of all the insurance providers listed on the insurance guarantee, only one actually existed. When he attempted to verify the CUSIP number (653376AA1), he found that it was indeed a CUSIP number that was applied for, but there was no correct record of a financial instrument corresponding to that CUSIP number.

The complaint further states that, in August, the company gave notice of rescission of the bond transaction to Nexxus One, and Nexxus One requested the company to wait 30 days for Nexxus to perform, and to execute a non-disclosure agreement, and Nexxus One would deliver a proper bond and the information needed to monetize it. The company waited the thirty days and still nothing happened. Nexxus One again requested the company to delay rescission on November 2, 2007, offering alternative performance that also never occurred.
