Denise Richards (ICE Phederation General Manager)
TD Garden - Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Sunday October 27, 2013 @ 4:23 AM/ET. (From Saturday Night)
TORONTO, ON - For those viewers who were lucky enough to catch the very first episode of New Girls in Town After Dark where you get to see that competition's beauty contestants live backstage chatting it up or talkin' strategy. Those viewers were able to witness ICE Phederation CEO Jessica Lowndes get into a huge argument backstage with GM Denise Richards towards the end of the show where the viewership had gotten up to close to 50 million viewers in that quarter hour (3:30-3:45am) over on PDN. The argument was about two different people with one of them being ICE's failure to get Mateo Arias when he was fired from SBC and the other is what they will do with their draft claim and sending away Alexandria Morgan and apparently Jessica was not happy about that shit as she blamed Denise for both decisions and would fire her right on the spot as well and since Jordana tried to take Denise's side she got fired with her. A lot of people say that Jessica was super drunk as she was a real mess not doing her job supervising the pageant and sex show at some portions of the night because she was sitting in the crowd with the many celebrities who showed up for the show and drinking beer. Shay Mitchell and Erin Sanders who both work for Jessica as an actor on the hit new comedy "Jaime" claim that Jess got into a beer drinking competition with Youthful Daydreamers actress Rachel Melvin. They chugged at least around 12 cans of beer. She was so intoxicated that Jessica Stroup had to step-in and supervise the television operations for the rest of the night for both ICE and PDN. Head NITRO Official took Jessica's drunk ass back to the Hilton hotel in Boston to go and sleep for the rest of the night.
What was even more embarrassing is that 3-time repeat offender and ex-con Sasha Pieterse who is a Starlets Leader actually confronted a pageant contestant backstage and got into a physical altercation for revealing in the Boston Suicides Pageant that she was a past member of the Sallies Lady Gang which is the biggest rival to the Lizzies Lady Gang. The contestant threatened to shoot Sasha and the police quickly had to separate the two and decided to arrest them both and take them to jail for the night. Sasha and the contestant who will likely be eliminated from the competition because of this will receive their hearings on Monday morning in a Boston courtroom. This is Sasha's ninth NITRO-related fight in the last 2 years the most of any NITRO actress. She even got into a fight with draft pick Mia Lasanti late last year around Christmas over something as petty as gifts. Sasha has the reputation as the resident Ronda Rousey figure of the studio. She will fight you at anytime.
Analyst Charles Barkley was real critical of Jessica after late night hours were over on the always entertaining TV/radio show and got into a 15 minute rant and 45 minute debate about Jessica Lowndes on the panel. Charles called her a "knuckle head motherfucker" and one viewer called into ask if anybody's bosses drink on the job and act like a power abusing child and that question came under criticism and led to a second debate. It goes back to Chuck's idea that she is too young for her job and that Pat Devine made a huge mistake making her CEO when she's only 24 years old making big decisions in a big-time entertainment business. It was no doubt about it a very funny and real night for viewers to see and witness something that they only hear about in NITRO so this New Girls in Town After Dark show is going to be must see TV for viewers to see stuff like this backstage. Jessica is no doubt about it one of the most powerful people in all of NITRO and also easily one of the immature controversial people around in general, there's not a day that goes by when someone isn't talking about her. Analyst David Kaplan says that ICE is a complete clown show nothing but a bunch of children in charge of running a powerful entity.
It was already in the plans that she was restructuring ICE's executive chain real soon to prepare for the draft claim process and new actor's contracts. Jessica Lowndes since becoming CEO has never had the chance to really put together her own executive chain as the one she had was chosen by Pat Devine before he let his position to become a shared owner of the ICE Phederation with Icon Company's Octopussy Entertainment Group. Most of her chain has been there from the Pat Devine days or were some of her close friends who were helping her out through this process of becoming CEO but now she's gonna put together a real staff that should be able to make it through the rest of this season. She is going to allow some of her key executives to move on for bigger opportunities at the other NITRO studios soon. Of those early names that were leaked out they were as follow:
STAFF OF ICE PHEDERATION EXECUTIVES WHO WERE FIRED AS SUNDAY MORNING
Co-Owner: Chelsea Haynes
Chairman/Starlets Leader: Shenae Grimes
Studio President: Kevin Smart
Vice President: Jaimie Alexander
General Manager: Denise Richards
Assistant General Manager: Jordana Brewster
Variety Coordinator: Ken Lee (Will Likely Stay and Move to Another Position)
Game Show Coordinator: Charles Neely
Starlets Leader: Alexandra Chando (Will Likely Stay and Move to Another Position)
Starlets Leader: Shenae Grimes
Out of these big names actress and Starlets Leader Alexandra Chando is most likely not to leave ICE as she's been a key part in helping Susan Ward overseeing their younger wild and out of control Starlets the last couple of seasons. She's been getting some big praise for that. Her big sister and ferocious attitude has kept those young girls in line. Jessica Lowndes admitted though that she is real scared of losing her because out of all the Starlets leaders she doesn't put up with bullshit and is the most strict and brings an old school type mentality and style to discipline whipping the girls with paddles and belts when they get out of line or beating the shit out of them like she did during training camp.
STUDIO PRESIDENT
The biggest name in this list is obviously President Kevin Smart who has learned and worked alongside ICE's former boss Pat Devine and has helped keep ICE as the top studio every season in NITRO's history. Kevin Smart's biggest value came during the past year when he helped the transition of Jessica Lowndes to CEO taking care of the studio and network during that period of time. Kevin Smart is a very valuable executive in NITRO and he is not an actor so he can focused exclusively on the business operations of the studio and his biggest attribute is that he is a great programmer as he does a very good job helping the Head Programmers on the weekly network schedules. Kevin Smart has also done a nice job helping PDN become a top network in the Federal Division helping AnnaLynne McCord, Jessica Stroup, and Jillian Rose Reed get that network on track. Kevin Smart could be NITRO's first really big executive to be available on the open market since 2012 when SBC grabbed ex-ICE Variety Coordinator Gavin Nagy as he can easily take a network to the next level. ICE will opening up that President position up regardless.
GENERAL MANAGER
Also another big position that ICE has to fill is the General Manager position and there was actually two of them because ICE used Jordana Brewster as an assistant under Denise Richards who did a really good job with this year's draft and first round of free agent pickups. ICE has a huge void to fill there and have to be real careful who they hire to replace both ladies. Jordana Brewster has been a great leader and executive at ICE as she's gone back and forth between ICE and ROD but she recently received an offer to go back to ROD from Ashley Greene which is the reason why she's leaving. Nobody knows what Denise Richards is going to do though. It's unknown here if ICE stays with an older actor here or go young at this position. If Denise Richards decides to stay at ICE there's been rumors that she would like to take a demotion and move to Philadelphia to work with the new models in ICE's modeling system which is what might happen if Denise doesn't leave the Phederation.
CHAIRMAN
The Chairman position is expected to be open as the hometown hero Shenae Grimes and good close friend of Jessica Lowndes might be leaving ICE for the first time since 2009 as Shenae was one of the original ICE roster members. Shenae Grimes told media reporters down in Australia over the weekend that she only took the Chairman job to help Jessica out but that she really wasn't interested in being the Chairman which is the second top position in a NITRO studio under CEO. Shenae Grimes was also one of the Starlets Leaders and she was actually exhausted from that role because she said there was a lot of corruption there and felt bad for the models who were getting abused by the leaders especially during training camp and she also thought it was hell to work with these young models who were hard-headed and didn't want to listen to her or the other leaders. Shenae got married in the last year and wanted to actually step away from the entertainment business for a while to concentrate on that and return when she got a little older. Shenae also stated that ICE is a weird studio because they don't like their actors to have romantic relationships as they want their actors to be single and concentrate only on work and its been like that since the beginning and wanted to leave ICE because of that. She is no longer good friends with Jessica either because she says that she has disrespected her and abused her power way too many times since becoming CEO and she just wants to get away from her as she has grown to be scared of her. Her husband literally came to ICE's studio which is a high school in downtown Toronto to have lunch with her and he got jumped by a group of students just because he had a relationship with Shenae. So Shenae Grimes after that incident is definitely leaving ICE with no questions so that position will have to be filled as well. Jessica is really high on "Jaime" star Erin Sanders to become the next Chairman even though she has no prior executive experience.
For the rest of the positions starting with the owner Chelsea Haynes family business recently went into bankruptcy so ICE is now looking for a new group to buy out that other half of the ownership group. Chelsea Haynes is going to reopen her family business and go to a different studio maybe one of the new ones. ICE will be looking for a new Variety Coordinator although Ken Lee did a very good job at the position is likely going to receive a new position. Jessica's ex-boyfriend mack Wilds is expected to slide down to Music Producer so the DEO position will be open. Erin Sanders and Ashley Tisdale's names have come up to get a position. After Family Game Night failed on them Game Show Coordinator Charles Neely got fried as well. Kevin Smart said he is taking his assistant or Vice President Jaimie Kennedy wherever he goes so that will be a package deal if you're interested in making Kevin Smart your new Chairman, DEO, or President.
As of right now until we hear from ICE there is no timetable on when this new executive chain will be complete but either they will keep you guys up-to-date or we will receive information from them and keep you guys up-to-date.
