In 2007, she had a lead role in a production with Snoop Dogg, and a supporting role in the "Nanny Diaries" opposite Scarlet Johansson.

Her interest and passion for our product, coupled with her celebrity status and business acumen will be a great help across all aspects of our public relations and marketing plans. Upon meeting her, and in very short order, it became patently obvious that she cares greatly about people, and believes strongly in a healthy lifestyle for herself, her family and friends. That fact that she was already demonstrably knowledgeable about, and had already chosen our products as part of her lifestyle, was a key factor that led to the offer of a position on our advisory board. We look forward to her active participation as we continue to build, grow, and aim for success."
