Nikki Reed Joins CIROC Vodka and Esquire "Ultra Premium Cut" Filmmaker Series

Nikki Reed Joins CIROC Vodka and Esquire "Ultra Premium Cut" Filmmaker Series

CIROC goes nationwide with Fifth Annual Social Responsibility Program and doubles contribution to free rides home on New Year's Eve

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CIROC Vodka and Esquire have named the newest member of the "Ultra Premium Cut" contest judging panel. Film and recording artist Nikki Reed will join Sean "Diddy" Combs and Esquire's Jack Essig to help select the CIROC commercial that will air on national TV on New Year's Eve. Entries will continue to be accepted through December 2nd at www.esquire.com/ciroc.

The commercial with the highest number of online votes between December 6(th) and 11(th) will premiere on national television on New Year's Eve. Additionally, the top three finalists will receive the Ultimate CIROC At-Home New Year's celebration which includes a one on one consultation with a professional event coordinator and funds towards their New Year's Eve Party.

"I'm thrilled to be working with Sean 'Diddy' Combs, CIROC Vodka and Esquire as a judge for the Ultra Premium Cut Filmmaker Series and helping to elevate awareness for such an important cause," says Reed. "As an artist myself, I'm excited to see the original videos submitted."

In addition to joining the panel, Reed, along with CIROC, Combs and Esquire, further drives home the "Celebrating Responsibly" platform with the announcement of the fifth annual "CIROC Safe Rides" campaign. The program provides consumers coast to coast with free rides from trustworthy transportation partners as they return from their New Year's Eve activities.

On December 31(st) CIROC Brand Ambassadors will distribute "Safe Ride" cards redeemable via taxis, black cars or other forms of transportation to adult consumers throughout major metropolitan cities nationwide. In New York, Miami, and Houston cards will be redeemable for usage in taxis, black cars, and liveries. Consumers in Chicago will receive CTA cards and those in Atlanta will receive MARTA cards good for their ride home at the end of the big night. As an unexpected bonus, Reed will also surprise pedestrians with CIROC Safe Ride cards earlier in the month to ensure they get home safely on New Year's Eve.

"During the holiday season while we celebrate family, traditions, and the beginning of a new year, it's extra important to do these things responsibly," says Reed. "If you are going to drink, please find a safe ride home. Catch a cab, CIROC Safe Ride, subway, bus or pick a designated driver."

To further encourage awareness, Reed and various other celebrities will film dedicated public service announcements. The content will be featured throughout multi-media programming on targeted lifestyle media outlets during the campaign.

Legacy Recordings Set To Release West Of Memphis: Voices For Justice - Music From & Inspired By New Film Documenting The Case Of The Memphis Three

Legacy Recordings Set To Release West Of Memphis: Voices For Justice - Music From & Inspired By New Film Documenting The Case Of The Memphis Three

West of Memphis: Voices For Justice - Featuring Music From Eddie Vedder, Natalie Maines, Patti Smith, Lucinda Williams and More - Available Tuesday, January 15, 2013

The purchase of this album will in part directly benefit the West Memphis Three

"West of Memphis," A Sony Pictures Classics Release, Opening In Los Angeles & New York On Christmas Day (December 25, 2012)

NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Legacy Recordings will release West of Memphis: Voices For Justice, an album of music and songs inspired by the new Sony Pictures Classics film, "West of Memphis," which chronicles the case of the West Memphis Three. The album serves to raise awareness for the continuing fight for exoneration of the West Memphis Three.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060130/LEGACYLOGO )

"West of Memphis" is a new documentary film produced by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh (the Lord of the Rings trilogy), Amy Berg (Best Documentary Oscar nominee Deliver Us From Evil), with first-time producers Damien Echols (of the West Memphis Three) and Lorri Davis. Directed by Amy Berg, the film reveals the untold story behind an extraordinary and desperate fight to bring the truth to light; a fight to stop the State of Arkansas from killing an innocent man.

Starting with a searing examination of the police investigation into the 1993 murders of three eight-year-old boys in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, the film goes on to uncover new evidence surrounding the arrest and conviction of the other three victims of this shocking crime--Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley. All three were teenagers when they became the target of the police investigation for crimes they did not commit. Each of the West Memphis Three spent more than 18 years in prison while outside the gates, mounting evidence

and testimony pointing to their innocence led to an outpouring of support, particularly from the music community and artists featured on this album such as Eddie Vedder, Henry Rollins, Natalie Maines, Marilyn Manson, Dave Navarro, and Patti Smith.

"Music has always played a huge role in my life. In my early years, it allowed me to escape the crushing poverty I was born into. Music took me out of myself and into a thousand other worlds. Then, when I was put on trial, it was music they used against me. My love of heavy metal was considered 'proof' that I was evil and a satanic murderer. And then, ultimately, it was music that helped to free me when friends and supporters came together to put on the Voices for Justice concert in Little Rock," said Damien Echols.

"West of Memphis" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2012 and was an official selection at the Deauville American Film Festival 2012 and the Toronto International Film Festival 2012.

Much of the music heard in "West of Memphis" comes from an original score written and performed for the film by the Australian compositional team of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (The Dirty Three, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds). "It was an honor to have made a contribution to the film and to have played a part in raising awareness of the case of the West Memphis Three," said Cave.

Strains of the Cave-Ellis film score may be heard in the Henry Rollins track, "Damien Death Row Letter (Year 9)" in which Rollins reads a letter Damien has written him in 2003. One of the WM3's most vocal proponents over the years, Rollins was the producer and prime creative force behind the 2002 compilation album Rise Above: 24 Black Flag Songs to Benefit the West Memphis Three.

Natalie Maines, a staunch backer of the West Memphis Three, performed the Pink Floyd song "Mother" live with Ben Harper in the summer of 2012 and decided to record it for West of Memphis: Voices For Justice. Maines and Harper produced this studio recording of the song, which features Ben on steel lap guitar.

Lucinda Williams re-recorded her 2006 song "Joy" exclusively for this soundtrack after playing it at Neil Young's "Bridge School Benefit.

The supergroup cover-band Camp Freddy--lead guitarist, Dave Navarro, is a friend and supporter of Damien Echols--recorded this version of "The Jean Genie," originally by David Bowie, one of Damien's favorite artists to listen to while on death row.

Tonto's Giant Nuts featuring Johnny Depp and Bruce Witkin recorded their version of "Little Lion Man," a Mumford & Sons cover, or this album. The song was an inspiration to Echols at the end of his prison term.

Marilyn Manson contributed his cover of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain," featuring Johnny Depp on guitar. Manson weighed in on the WM3 case on April 8, 2010 and said, "....I wish that I had the strength that this guy (Damien Echols) had, because he's gone to trial and gone to prison for just looking and thinking the things he did, and that's pretty much what all of us as a music community believe in and what we need to finally get behind. So I'm standing up today to say let's all get behind the West Memphis Three and fix it."

Band of Horses contributed a spectacular live version of "Dumpster World," from their acclaimed album, Mirage Rock, to West of Memphis: Voices For Justice.

Clarence Greenwood, aka Citizen Cope, has been following the West Memphis Three case for years and volunteered his song, "DFW," for the film after seeing an early cut and being moved by the story of Lorri Davis and Damien Echols.

Eddie Vedder wrote the song "Satellite" for Lorri Davis as a gift in a collection of songs he recorded for Lorri and Damien around 2000. Director Amy Berg makes beautiful use of the track over the final scene in "West of Memphis."

Bill Carter and his wife, Ruth Carter, wrote "Anything Made of Paper" to run as the end titles for "West of Memphis." The song's origins come from when Carter asked Echols what he could bring to him on death row and Damien answered, "anything made of paper, that's all."



The White Buffalo, aka Jake Smith, covers Faster Pussycat's 1989 hit "House of Pain," one of the songs Damien listened to on death row.

Bob Dylan contributed his liberation anthem, "Ring Them Bells," from 1989's Oh Mercy.

Tonto's Giant Nuts featuring Johnny Depp recite "Damien Death Row Letter (Year 17)" along with the Nick Cave and Warren Ellis score.

Patti Smith was one of the key artists who volunteered to perform at the Voices For Freedom benefit concert in West Memphis, Arkansas in August 2010. Patti's recording of "Wing" on the West of Memphis: Voices For Justice album is her live performance from that event, which had a major impact in pressuring the state for the release of the WM3.

Digital versions of West of Memphis: Voices For Justice will include the bonus track "Road to Nowhere" an Ozzy Osbourne cover recorded by Bill Carter. Ozzy's original was one of Damien's favorite songs to pass the time on death row.

The competition invited viewers to submit pizza topping ideas to create the People's
Pizza, which will be on sale at Domino's next year. The tastiest pizza ideas were whittled
down to just three by a panel of experts including This Morning's Phil Vickery, star of
The Only Way is Essex, Mario Falcone and Domino's new product development chef, Chris
Denoven. Maria Tyrrell was announced as the winner with her 'Chimi Chicken' pizza today
[Thursday 29, 2012] in a public vote live on This Morning.



Featuring a combination of chicken in an Argentinean style chimichurri marinade with
yellow and red peppers, Maria's Chimi Chicken pizza uses her family's very own authentic
chimichurri sauce recipe.



Maria Tyrrell, winner of This Morning People's Pizza competition, said: "I am so
overwhelmed, and absolutely thrilled! I'm so excited that my Mum and Dad's sauce is going
on a pizza. Food is a massive part of my family - my grandmother was a cordon bleu chef
and my parents and brother run an Argentine restaurant in Middlesex so I've always loved
cooking and using my Argentinean heritage in recipes. When I saw this competition, I just
had to enter."



Back in the studio, Phillip Schofield said; "Absolutely brilliant, well done! They
were all brilliant and very tasty pizzas... So when the doorbell rings, it'll be our
pizza!"



Holly Willoughby added; "Well done Maria! I would've been happy with any of them, but
I did like that one I have to say - that was the one I thought was the nicest."



Simon Wallis, sales and marketing director for Domino's Pizza, said: "We are delighted
to be supporting this competition on ITV's most iconic daytime TV show and look forward to
launching the winning entry, the People's Pizza, in our stores next year."
