Going into its 10th season the police procedural Criminal Minds is getting a fresh face and character with Jennifer Love Hewitt joining the cast alongside Joe Mantegna and Shemar Moore. Starting in October, she will be introduced to audiences playing FBI agent Kate Callahan, whose work has gotten her an invitation to the coveted Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU). The unit tracks the most dangerous criminal minds, studying them in attempts to stop them from wreaking terror and havoc on the public. These people are referred to as unsubs or “unknown subjects”.

Though one of the younger agents, Hewitt’s character Callahan is wise and savvy from her eight years on the force. She has a background in criminal psychology and works from the heart to make the world a safer place. In her backstory, Callahan has endured a lot of personal loss that makes her not only an ardent patriot but also a nurturing person.

Hewitt started her career out in commercials but vaulted to the public’s attention with her role on the popular television series Party of Five. She later achieved stardom on the screen with the horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer. In addition to acting, Hewitt is also a writer, director and producer. This talented actress even sings. Atlantic Records and Jive Records both have signed her to their labels in the pop genre. Her most successful single thus far was the 1999 release How Do I Deal.

Actors obviously create their characters through behavior but wardrobe, including accessories, also contributes to defining a character. Callahan reveals her more feminine side by the watch she chooses to wear. Around her wrist is the Gevril Avenue of Americas Glamour model 6209NE. It makes not only practical sense for a BAU agent to wear a watch but also makes symbolic sense since time is of the essence in tracking a criminal.

Hewitt is very enthusiastic about her Gevril. She says, “I love this watch so much! Makes watching time fly more fun.”

Mario Andretti was honored for a lifetime of achievement by the National Motorsports Press Association’s Hall of Fame. As a teen, Andretti came to America from post-World War II Italy, and went on to reach the pinnacle of auto racing, garnering worldwide fame.

During a career that has spanned four decades, Andretti was a Formula One, Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500 winner. He also won 33 times in IndyCar, and 19 in CART.

73 and still one of the most recognizable names in sports, Andretti said being voted into the NMPA Hall of Fame was one of the highlights of his career. “You get that beautiful call and then it gives you a chance to pause and look back at everything that has happened to you, to count your blessings,” he said. “The greatest compliment is your work has been acknowledged, and this is what it’s all about.”

Andretti was awarded the traditional plaque and grey NMPA jacket. “Quite honestly, when some of these invitations still appear, it’s the ultimate compliment that can be paid to you,” said Andretti. “It’s because somehow they still are looking at your career after all the years.”

“I count my blessings every day because I’ve been so, so fortunate to have a long career and be able to meet so many incredible people along the way – and some of them are in this room,” he said. “I look back with no regrets whatsoever.… to be able to have a long career like I have… it allowed me to retire on my own terms.”

Randy Jackson may have resigned from his job as a judge, but he will be part of some interesting and exciting new twists on the new season of American Idol. According to FOX, Jackson has stepped into a new role where he will mentor contestants on the show.

Jackson was a longtime judge and has been a part of the American Idol vocal talent competition since its inception in 2002. He announced he was leaving the show at the end of the last season. However, he will still be vitally influential to the contestants, albeit in a different capacity.

“There’s a new role for Randy this year, it’s a sort of Randy Jackson workshop,” says Idol executive producer Trish Kinane. Randy is going to be hosting a new round that will represent a two-day workshop between the contenders and Jackson, “where the kids who got through to the live show have an education, if you like, in song choices, personal style and other things … where they can discover things about themselves.”

Jackson is replacing Idol mentor Jimmy Iovine, who left the show due to some internal issues that also influenced the resignations of judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, as well as executive producers Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick.

Randy Jackson is more than qualified to mold the promising young musicians who come through the American Idol competition. While Jackson is most well-known for being an American Idol judge, Jackson has recorded, produced, or toured with many well-known artists and bands, ranging from Mariah Carey to ‘N Sync, Whitney Houston, Céline Dion, and Madonna.

During the Novak Djokovic Foundation Gala Dinner in New York City, Randy Jackson expressed his excitement about his new role, and his feelings about the 2014 season of American Idol: “I’ve moved to the higher court now.”

Jackson also expressed his support for and confidence in returning judges Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez, and a brand new judge, Harry Connick Jr. “I know them all very, very well,” Jackson said. “They’re all amazing people, great in their own right, very credible, really cool, funny.”

Artist and actor Federico Castelluccio is a highly accomplished celebrity whose achievements in both theater and fine arts make him a creative force to be reckoned with. Castelluccio translates his aesthetic into varying mediums and applications, thereby showcasing his talent and style in Hollywood and beyond.

Castelluccio: The Actor

Federico Castelluccio is best known for his role as the Neapolitan Enforcer, Furio Giunta, on the HBO TV series, The Sopranos. The iconic and acclaimed series starred the late James Gandolfini, whom Castelluccio called “one of the greatest actors of our time” during an appearance on the Today Show with Matt Lauer.

Castelluccio was also featured in Made alongside Jon Favreau, NYPD Blue, and Diary of a Hitman with Danny Aiello. Castelluccio developed his acting talents in summer stock, off-off-Broadway, and various Shakespeare festivals during the mid-’80s, eventually signing on with the Flock and Eclectic theater companies.

Castelluccio: The Artist

Perhaps less known, yet no less impressive, Castelluccio is also an internationally renowned visual artist, and received a full presidential scholarship to the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Before becoming an actor, Federico Castelluccio first rose to fame as an award-winning illustrator when actor George Burns personally commissioned him to paint his portrait. Burns was so impressed with Castelluccio that he recommended him to executives at PBS and ABC. His paintings have been praised for their exceptional quality and demonstration of high-level technical ability.

Federico Castelluccio’s works are held in public collections across the globe, including Palazzo Chigi, Yale University Art Gallery, Tisch Fine Art Collection, Gillette Corporation, Schering-Plough Corporation and Sotheby’s in Manhattan.

Hollywood Influence

Many well known celebrities also own Federico’s original work, such as Whoopi Goldberg, Caroline Rhea, Joe Pantoliano, Geoffrey Holder, Donald Trump, Paul Hogan, and the great blues legend, Buddy Guy.

During the fourth season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice, Donald Trump asked Castelluccio to judge a celebrity hat design competition. He chose La Toya Jackson, who won $25,000 for her charity, the AIDS Project Los Angeles.

In 2009 Chris recorded his DVD Live in Boston at the Zeiterion, so this event had special meaning for him. Rolling Stones backup singer Lisa Fischer joined Mr. Botti to help bring a variety of music styles into the performance. He performed songs from his most recent album Impressions which featured an amazing cast of musicians including Andrea Bocelli, Vince Gill and Herbie Hancock to name few.

Staying busy and keeping in touch with his audience is paramount to Botti. He firmly believes that in order for an artist to remain relevant he must continue to tour regularly, keeping himself and his music alive in the hearts and minds of his fans. Chris explains “You need to care about your audience and whether they are getting music that they love. A lot of artists, especially those in their 20s, say, ‘Oh, the road is too difficult. I’m going to take four years off.’ And then their audience goes, ‘Goodbye.’ I don’t want that to happen to me. I want to be able to tour well into my 60s or 70s if I can still play the horn.” Botti continues “You have to sacrifice a lot of life for the benefits of being able to walk on stage every night and be grateful that there is an audience there for you because they can just as easily spend their money and go download the latest and greatest thing and not come to your show,” said Botti. “That’s something that I’m well aware of.”

Chris is not only a talented world renowned musician, but a man who understands that you not only have to “play the part” but “look the part as well.” He established his trademark stage attire of fine suits on the recommendation of former Tonight Show trumpet player Doc Severinsen. He is quick to explain the wonderful feeling he experiences wearing fine clothing “The way my body moves inside a suit. They fit the body well, but they are also made of great fabric. It lays on you, it travels well and doesn’t get ruined or lose its shape.”

Botti is a fan of fine timepieces as well. Amongst his collection of Panerai and IWC is a Limited Edition Gevril Avenue of Americas GMT Power Reserve that he wore to Gevril’s worldwide launch event of the Avenue of Americas “Serenade.” The timepiece was a special gift from Gevril owner Samuel Friedmann. Botti attended the event in the company of other Gevril celebrity owners Mario Andretti, Joan Collins, Anne Hathaway as well as the late Paul Newman.

We’re sure you’re going to watch Denzel Washington’s new film “Flight,” but can you remember what watch he was wearing when he starred in “Inside Man?”

Denzel Washington is one of Hollywood’s most exciting and enduring actors. He has already won two Academy Awards, one for his supporting role in Glory and a second for his leading role in Training Day. Denzel got his first big break when he landed the role of Dr. Phillip Chandler in the hit TV show St. Elsewhere in 1982. Ever since, there has been no stopping this talented performer.

Denzel Washington has helped ensure the success of dozens of blockbuster hits, including Philadelphia, Malcolm X, The Pelican Brief, Crimson Tide, The Preacher’s Wife, He Got Game and The Hurricane. In addition to his two Oscars, he has also been awarded a Golden Globe for starring in Remember the Titans.

In addition to improving the visibility of these major Hollywood blockbusters, Washington has also improved the visibility for one of the world’s premier timepieces. In 2006, when Denzel starred in Spike Lee’s popular thriller Inside Man, he personally selected a Gevril timepiece to be a part of his wardrobe in the film. Several other cast members wore Gevril timepieces in this action packed thriller as well.

Denzel’s fascination with thrillers continues to this day. On November 2, 2012 the world will see Denzel as a pilot who saves a flight from crashing in the new thriller titled Flight. When an investigation of the crash reveals some troubling details, we can only wonder what would have happened if Washington had been wearing a Gevril watch in this film as well.

Be sure to see Denzel Washington in Flight. And be sure to see the new collection of fine Gevril timepieces at your nearest authorized Gevril dealer.

Born Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estévez to immigrant parents in Dayton Ohio, his affinity for both acting, as well as political activism was evident from a young age. At 14 while working as a golf caddy, he organized a strike of all golf caddies due to the mean and foul language he and his co-workers endured from the clubs members. He felt that men of such esteem and position should not be using “abusive and anti-Semitic” language in front of the young boys. Later he would go on to achieve renown not only for his acting prowess but for his more than 60 arrests for civil disobedience in support of issues ranging from apartheid, racism, homelessness to nuclear testing.

Although his father was against his desire to pursue acting, Sheen decided to give it a go. At the early age of 20, he borrowed money from a Catholic priest and moved to New York with hopes of making it in theater. Casting director Robert Dale Martin, with whom he received his first break into the industry, inspired his adoption of the stage name Martin Sheen.

Sheen quickly found success on stage as well as television but his real rise to stardom came in 1973 starring in the crime drama; Badlands. Sheen later gained worldwide recognition as Captain Willard in Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now. His acting excellence has earned him a Golden Globe and 2 SAG awards for his role as President Bartlett in The West Wing, as well as an Emmy for his guest appearances in the sitcom Murphy Brown.

Fame and fortune do not come without a price and for Martin Sheen much of that price was paid by his family. For his children, being raised by a father who often times ruled their lives under the influence of alcohol and drugs has left indelible scars that remain to this day. Most evident is its effect on son, Charlie. An A-list actor in his own right, Charlie has led a roller coaster life of great success in his career and, unfortunately, devastating failure in his personal affairs.

Somewhere in the not so distant past Gevril Group’s Steven Jay had the chance to meet with Martin in Los Angeles during a photo-shoot for WatchTime Magazine. The shoot was for a feature in which Mr. Sheen was wearing his Gevril Avenue of Americas timepiece. Steven asked him for some parenting advice. Mr. Sheen was candid and explained, “If I had the chance to do it over again I would not have been so hard on my children physically, emotionally and spiritually.”

Second chances are becoming a reality for Martin Sheen as he assumes the on screen role of Charlie’s father in the hit FX comedy Anger Management. FX recruited the veteran actor in an attempt to transform the show into a multi-generational program that would attract a larger audience. For the Sheens it will be a time for healing, for the fans it will be a chance to be entertained by a father and son who happen to be two great actors while they do what they do best: act.

After graduating from Barnard College in 1954 with a BA in both English Literature and Anthropology, she hopped from job to job trying to find her niche. She worked as a Tour Guide at Rockefeller Center, a proofreader and as a fashion consultant. It was agent Tony Rivers that suggested she adopt a new last name to support her desire for a career in acting.

She began her career in New York Theater during the late 1950’s and transitioned into television during the early 1960’s. She made her first television appearance on The Tonight Show, when Jack Paar hosted the program. Soon after, Johnny Carson replaced Mr. Paar and made Joan the first sole guest of the show.

It proved to be the propulsion that would take her career to the next level. She would later go on to host her own talk shows; The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers and The Joan Rivers Show for which she won her first Emmy, in 1989.

In addition to being one of the worlds most famous comedians, Joan Rivers is a also a woman of fabulous style, so much so that she is regularly found on “Best Dressed” lists from around the world. From 1996 thru 2007 she found herself putting those fashion skills to good use. She hosted, alongside her daughter Melissa, the “Red Carpet” pre-award shows for E!, and was a reporter of celebrity fashion for TV Guide. Those who fell into Joan’s good graces were richly rewarded with accolades and those who did not became the fodder for scathing satirical criticism.

It was during this period that Joan was introduced to Gevril by their V.P. of Public Relations, Steven Jay. As Steven explains; “Joan was looking for an oversized watch with a lot of ‘bling’ to wear for reporting from the Oscars ‘Red Carpet’. When she got a look at the ‘Avenue of Americas Glamour’ with its 44mm rectangular case, red mother of pearl dial and 2.25 carats of diamonds, she knew it was exactly what she was looking for.” She loved the timepiece so much; she not only wore it on the “Red Carpet”, but on her post Oscars show, The Fashion Police, and continues to regularly wear it at the many prestigious social gatherings she attends.

With a dual time zone Gevril Avenue of Americas GMT Power Reserve on his wrist, Sting won’t need to worry about forgetting his birthday again.

Legendary singer, songwriter, actor and activist Sting is one of the most recognizable musicians in the world. On his own and as a member of The Police, Sting has received sixteen Grammy Awards, plus a Golden Globe, an Emmy and several Oscar nominations. This globe-trotting rocker is a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

With a career that has taken him around the world many times, it is not surprising that Sting occasionally loses track of the time. Once, while playing a concert in California, Sting glanced down at his watch and tried to calculate the time difference to London. It was only when he realized that it was already eight hours later in London, that he knew he had forgotten his own birthday.

When Steven Jay of Gevril Group heard this story from his friend and fellow Sting band member Chris Botti, he knew it was time for a belated birthday present. Botti, who had played trumpet with Sting’s touring band for over three years, agreed to set up a meeting between Sting and Steven Jay.

Chris Botti felt like Sting’s October 19th 2004 “Sacred Love” concert at Madison Square Garden would be the perfect time to present the singer with a surprise birthday present. After the concert, Gevril representative Steven Jay was warmly welcomed backstage where Sting was presented with a special, handmade, limited edition, Gevril Avenue of Americas GMT Power Reserve timepiece with dual time zones.

Sting loved the impressive looking watch and immediately exclaimed “an early Christmas present?!” It was at this point that Steven revealed the story of how he had learned of Sting’s difficulties in calculating London time on his old watch at the California concert. He then told Sting that the Avenue of the Americas timepiece was in fact a belated birthday gift from his friends at Gevril.

Now, wherever Sting’s travels take him, he’ll never need to worry about forgetting his birthday again. In its own way, the massive 18K rose gold Avenue of Americas timepiece is a superstar as well. This special limited edition dual time zone watch is one of the finest timepieces ever made and has long been a favorite of celebrities. On stage and off, this Swiss made performer seems right at home on the wrist of the one and only Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner.

Two Stylish Performers

Nicollette Sheridan is an English-American film and television actress best known for roles as the conniving vixen Paige Matheson on Knots Landing and Edie Brill on Desperate Housewives. Born in Worthing, West Sussex England and raised in London, she had acting in her blood as the daughter of actress Sally Sheridan (née Adams). Early in her career she acted in commercials, including a commercial for Martini.

In 1972, her mother had an affair with fellow actor Telly Savalas when they were in the James Bond film, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Unlike many short-lived love affairs that spring up and die down on the sets of movie lots, Telly Savalas and Sally Sheridan fell in love and after the production phase was over, Telly transported Nicollette and her mom to the United States.

In 1984, Nicollette made her show business debut in the primetime soap opera Paper Dolls. Two years later, in 1986, Nicollette got her first big break when she won the role of Paige Matheson on the CBS-TV prime soap, Knots Landing. At first, Nicollette was a guest on the series, but as her popularity on the series grew, she was offered a leading role as a series regular in the 1988-89 season.

Pretty soon her acting ability was championed by her peers and in 1990 she won the Soap Opera Digest Award for “Outstanding Lead Actress: Prime Time” and the 1991 Soap Opera Digest Award for “Outstanding Heroine: Prime Time.” That same year she also was named one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People.

When Knots Landing was cancelled in 1993 after 14 years, it looked like Nicollette might be relegated to the B and C-List roles in independent films that befall stars who have lost their public appeal. But her career picked up even bigger than before when she landed the role of the conniving sexpot Edie Britt in ABC-TV’s mega primetime hit Desperate Housewives.

The popularity of Desperate Housewives was the second time lightning struck Nicollette’s acting career and in 2005 she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress. Four year later, Nicollette announced that she was leaving the hit show and two months later her character in the series met an untimely end.

Nicollette Sheridan Appreciates the Stylish Beauty of Gevril Watches Avenue of the Americas Collection

Nicollete Sheridan’s career brought her much success, and she acquired a taste for the finer things in life. That may explain why, when it came time for her to choose a luxury watch, she chose not one, but two timepieces from the Gevril Avenue of the Americas Collection. Nicollete couldn’t make up her mind which watch was more stylish, the Avenue of the Americas Gold or the Glamour watch. But she didn’t have to. She now owns both of them.

Two Outstanding Performers

Brad Garrett, an American actor best known for his portrayal as Ray Romano’s big brother on the critically acclaimed CBS-TV series Everybody Loves Raymond has performed a number of roles in his 27 years in show business, including actor, voice actor, stand-up comedian and even professional poker player.

He started his career in 1984 as a stand-up comedian after dropping out of UCLA after less than one semester. His first big break was winning the $100,000 Grand Prize on the syndicated talent competition Star Search. That victory earned him an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. He was only 23 when he appeared on The Tonight Show and “working for Johnny” kicked his career into high gear.

Soon he was the opening act for some of the top show business personalities in America, including Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, Liza Minnelli, David Copperfield and the Beach Boys. His fame rocketed to stardom in 1996 with his role as Ray Romano’s sad-sack brother on Everybody Loves Raymond. His performances received rave reviews and he won him three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

He also won seven Screen Actors Guild Award nominations (1998-2005) for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series and took home the winning statuette in 2002 along with his fellow actors. His height (6 feet 8 ½ inches) almost caused him a problem in 2002 when he played the role of comic legend Jackie Gleason in the made-for-TV biopic Gleason. He had to be filmed so the public wouldn’t notice he was a foot taller than the famed comedian from The Honeymooners.

Brad Garrett Appreciates the Performance of the Prestigious Gevril Watches Avenue of the Americas Collection

As it turns out, Brad Garrett is as serious about the watches he wears as he is about the successful roles he portrays. He proudly chose two prestigious watches from the Gevril Avenue of the Americas Collection, the Day Date Moon Phase and the GMT Power Reserve timepieces.

Brag Garrett and Gevril watches are two timeless performers. Brad also appeared on Broadway, on the silver screen, in another sitcom, ‘Til Death (2006-2010) and in a number of movies and his vocal talents have enriched many films including Finding Nemo, Casper, A Bug’s Life and Night at the Museum.

Besides his passion for high performance, luxury watches, he realized another longtime dream in 2010 when he opened Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas.
