The launch of GreenLight, effective today, advances Corbis' strategic
approach to create a network of brands to serve different customer
segments. The GreenLight brand will more clearly distinguish Corbis' Rights
Services division from its well-known image licensing business.
"There is phenomenal growth in the use of music and other iconic
content in both advertising and consumer products, and the launch of
GreenLight underscores what we see as a huge long term trend and business
opportunity," said Gary Shenk, CEO of Corbis Holdings. "The GreenLight
brand will accelerate our momentum in this market while continuing to
complement our image licensing businesses."
GreenLight will also expand its offering to include Talent Negotiation,
helping marketers to broker endorsement deals with sports, film,
television, music and other celebrities for new product launches as well as
for advertising and marketing campaigns. With the addition of this new
service, GreenLight offers companies and advertising agencies one place to
handle all types of rights and clearances services.
"Our mantra is that 'It's easy when you know who' -- and we have
relationships with the key agents, music publishers, TV and film studios
and other rights holders in Hollywood and around the world," said Mark
Sherman, Senior Vice President and Head of GreenLight. "We're one of the
most experienced global rights services firms, with a team of dedicated
experts across three continents. And to protect our clients, we indemnify
them for the rights we clear."
GreenLight's new visual identity, logo, website and brand essence
embody the company's mission to help companies and advertisers to quickly
get approval for -- or "green light" -- creative projects that require the
use of iconic celebrities, music, film, TV or other intellectual property.
In addition to its new Talent Negotiation offering, GreenLight helps
clients license and clear rights to celebrity likeness, feature film and TV
clips, music, trademarks and more to create innovative products and
effective advertising. By conducting thousands of clearances annually for
companies and ad agencies around the world, GreenLight can provide insight
into what can be licensed quickly, how long it will take and how much it
should cost.
GreenLight also represents the name, image and likeness rights of many
of the worlds most iconic and recognized personas including Albert
Einstein, The Wright Brothers, Steve McQueen and Maria Callas. On behalf of
these personas and their estates, GreenLight works closely with hundreds of
companies -- from advertisers to consumer product companies -- to license
their name, image and likeness to create compelling products, services and
advertisements that resonate with today's consumers. GreenLight hosts
several English-language websites for the estates it represents including
http://www.WrightBrothers.info, http://www.Einstein.biz and http://www.SteveMcQueen.com.

network, serves customers in more than 50 countries worldwide through 15
offices throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Lil' Kim -- Train Wreck Yes, Car Wreck No
You might be hearing that Lil' Kim got into a smash-up yesterday in Brooklyn and got popped for driving without a license -- not true. We've heard a different story, and wait 'til you hear who spread the tale.A source tells TMZ that not only was Lil' Kim not in Brooklyn, she was at her home in Jersey. We're told her mom went absolutely nuts when she heard the news ... from shock jock Wendy Williams' radio show. We hear Williams was actually giving out the intersection where the alleged accident happened and telling people to take photos of the wreck.
We couldn't get hold of Wendy for comment.

Sara Evans' Blended Family
Forget the Brady Bunch!
Sara Evans will have her own large extended family when she ties the knot with footballer-turned-radio host Jay Barker later this year.
With Jay being a father to four (from his previous marriage) and Sara a mother to three, it's definitely going to be a full house, but the country singer is not at all concerned about how her children will react to Jay being their stepfather.
"I feel so blessed on behalf of my children that they get to have him as their stepdad," Sara tells OK! at the CMA Music Festival. "He's one of the most amazing fathers I've ever been around. He was taught really well. He�s very patient. He�s the kind of guy that coaches, he�s a mentor to children � he always has been � and he�s a natural with kids. He�s very hands-on."
As for how the seven children will interact, the 37-year-old, who weathered a public divorce from Craig Schelske, isn't all that worried either. Spending a lot of time together is key to blending the families together, she says.
"They need to be together as much as possible," she sayas. "My children will go to school in Birmingham, and they�ll be able to see each other half the time they�ll be together. We do that a lot now. That�s our goal. To try and blend it, and when they look back on this and they�re adults, they�ll literally feel like they came from a family of seven kids."
While even the thought of raising seven kids would give many a headache, Sara doesn't see it that way.
"It�s amazing. We have a 9, two 8s, two 6s, a 5 and a 3. It�s just tons of love and tons of joy."
