(January 29, 2009—New York, NY) With the road to change officially on the way, MTV along with host Fonzworth Bentley brings fans a second season of the hit reality show “From G’s to Gents” premiering February 10 at 10PM ET/PT. The 90 minute special will delve into each G’s past and present life up unto the time that they take their first step into the house. The show’s first season brought fans into the world of fourteen (14) G’s from all over the country who wanted to shed their bad boy image and be invited into the “Gentleman’s Club” and now sixteen (16) new G’s vie for the same chance to join last year’s winner Creepa in this very prestigious membership.
This season also marks Bentley’s role as one of the show’s producers, having a hand in helping to focus more on bringing out the real life stories for these young men. “From Gs to Gents is not just another television show for me and the crew. This is a transformational program whose desire is to help young men expand their choices in life,” states Bentley. “It was important for me to be a part of the production team so that I can add another layer of support to our mission.”
As one of the many champions for change with the 2008 Presidential campaign for Barak Obama, Bentley is using that momentum to motivate and educate. “President Obama is the ultimate example of the redefinition of “Cool”. He’s helping young men see that with an education, having clear goals, confidence and style; they too can reach for the stars. That’s what this movement is all about,” adds Bentley.
In this season’s episodes the guys will be guided through new lessons and challenges ranging in everything from Style, Chivalry, Work Ethic, and Philanthropy. Over the course of the ten hour-long episodes, the men will be tested on how well, and willingly, they absorb the lessons of all that it takes to become a “Gentleman.” Each week, the G that fails to grow closer to becoming a Gentleman will be eliminated and denied membership to the “Gentleman’s Club.” In the end, one G will walk away with 100,000 dollars and the opportunity to call himself a true Gentleman.

The Filmmakers Vignette:
In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in America. His victory was not just a victory for gay rights; he forged coalitions across the political spectrum. From senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk changed the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights and became, before his untimely death in 1978, a hero for all Americans. Sean Penn stars as Harvey Milk under the direction of Gus Van Sant in Milk, filmed on location in San Francisco from an original screenplay by Dustin Lance Black, and produced by Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen.
Milk charts the last eight years of Harvey Milk’s life. While living in New York City, he turns 40. Looking for more purpose, Milk and his lover Scott Smith (James Franco) relocate to San Francisco, where they found a small business, Castro Camera, in the heart of a working-class neighborhood. With his beloved Castro neighborhood and beautiful city empowering him, Milk surprises Scott and himself by becoming an outspoken agent for change.
With vitalizing support from Scott and from new friends like young activist Cleve Jones (Emile Hirsch), Milk plunges headfirst into the choppy waters of politics. Bolstering his public profile with humor, Milk’s actions speak even louder than his gift-of-gab words.
When Milk is elected supervisor for the newly zoned District 5, he tries to coordinate his efforts with those of another newly elected supervisor, Dan White (Josh Brolin). But as White and Milk’s political agendas increasingly diverge, their personal destinies tragically converge.
Milk’s platform was and is one of hope – a hero’s legacy that resonates in the here and now.
The film’s original score is by Danny Elfman. The costume designer is Danny Glicker and Elliot Graham edited the film. The production designer is Bill Groom and the film’s director of photography is Harris Savides, A.S.C.

As a member of the biggest-selling girl group of all time, Melanie Brown was known to the world as Scary Spice. Today, the former Spice Girl is best known as Mel B—solo artist, lingerie model and mother of two. She adds workout diva to that list of accomplishments this winter with TOTALLY FIT from Rhino Entertainment. The DVD will be available at retail nationwide on February 3, 2009, including www.rhino.com.
TOTALLY FIT is definitely not your average workout DVD. It doesn’t require gym equipment, but instead relies on simple household items like a broomstick for stability work, and water bottles or canned goods for weights. At $14.95, it’s way cheaper than a gym membership! Her approach is fun, inspirational, and motivating, presenting the secrets to her success to anyone who wants to change both their lives and bodies, including all kinds of lifestyles and fitness levels. “For anyone with jubbily bits, I’m going to tighten you up, make you laugh and enjoy your workout no matter what level of fitness you are,” says Mel B.
TOTALLY FIT breaks down Mel’s straightforward approach to staying in shape into a simple 28-day plan. Featuring a 60-minute fitness class split into 30-minute sessions, the first session is an aerobic workout set to pumping dance tracks that is the ideal route to burning fat, driving up heart rates and promoting overall fitness. The second session includes an up-tempo resistance workout, using everyday objects to help tone and trim the body. These are the workouts that Mel still does each week.
Also included are four 10-minute workouts that focus on the areas all women struggle with—bums, tums, legs and arms, as well as a “Chill Out” stretch session designed to help women relax after a stressful day or as a well-deserved, post-workout reward. As a bonus, the disc also provides lifestyle advice and nutrition tips, including Mel’s own secret recipes and snacks. Mel offers great hints for getting faster and longer-lasting results, not for just a month, but forever.
