NEWS: HandHeld Entertainment Selected as Ckrush Partner

HandHeld Entertainment Selected as Internet/Mobile Marketing and Promotional Partner for Ckrush Entertainment's Breakthrough Feature Film, ``LiveMansion: The Movie''

Monday May 7, 5:57 am ET

HandHeld Will Help Ckrush Access the Millions of Individuals Who Visit HandHeld's Seven Web Sites Tens of Millions of Times Each Month to Help Create and Market the "First Feature Film Produced by an Online Community;" HandHeld's Network of Web Properties Called "a Growing Force on the Internet"

SAN FRANCISCO & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

HandHeld Entertainment(TM) (NASDAQ:ZVUE - News), a global digital entertainment company, today announced that it has been selected by Ckrush Entertainment, a subsidiary of Ckrush, Inc. (OTCBB:CKRH - News), as the Internet and direct-to-consumer mobile marketing and promotional launch partner for Ckrush's upcoming feature film, "LiveMansion: The Movie."

Created by Ckrush as the first feature film produced by an online community, "LiveMansion: The Movie" leverages the expertise, experience and celebrity of existing Hollywood stars and talent with the power and passion of an online community of filmmakers/videographers, actors, directors and film fans. As such, online auteurs and movie buffs alike can submit to Ckrush plot and character ideas, script suggestions and casting recommendations for "LiveMansion: The Movie," as well as voting on such decisions as the selection of cast members and directors. For example, between July 2006 and March 2007, more than 600,000 votes had been cast online in Ckrush's Casting Call and Director competition for "LiveMansion: The Movie."

"We're doing something that's never been done before with 'LiveMansion: The Movie' - creating the first feature-length film by taking advantage of the power of Web-based communities," said Jeremy Dallow, president of Ckrush. "We looked at multiple companies as potential launch partners, but in the end we kept coming back to HandHeld Entertainment and its network of Web properties which provide multiple promotional platforms for us. So not only will we benefit by the millions and millions of unique visitors HandHeld delivers across all of its Web sites, but HandHeld's expanding Web presence in Europe is also uniquely equipped to deliver millions of impressions throughout western Europe.

"On top of this, HandHeld brings an entirely different and exciting promotional platform with its value-priced ZVUE(TM) personal media player. Moreover, we foresee the opportunity to pre-load ZVUE players with exclusive content about 'LiveMansion: The Movie' that will then be channeled through more than 2,000 retail stores nationwide in a DTC mobile advertising campaign that we feel will be very attractive from a marketing standpoint. Finally, in the not-too-distant future HandHeld will begin delivering branded-advertising campaigns to millions of prospective new consumers for Ckrush. Thus, the decision to partner with HandHeld Entertainment was an easy one."

In addition to advertising campaigns for "LiveMansion: The Movie," HandHeld Entertainment will also utilize other strategies to promote Ckrush's feature-length film on HandHeld's Web properties:

* Putfile.com(TM);
* HolyLemon.com(TM);
* UnOriginal.co.uk(TM);
* YourDailyMedia.com(TM);
* Dorks.com(TM);
* FunMansion.com(TM); and
* ZVUE.com(TM).

"Ckrush has broken new ground in combining social networking and entertainment and we are excited to be working with them," said Jeff Oscodar, president and chief executive officer of HandHeld Entertainment. "In addition to the power of their vision, great talent is involved with LiveMansion.com - from Spike Lee and John Leguizamo, to such up-and-coming stars as Cara Buono. With young adults making tens of millions of visits to the HandHeld network of Web sites each month, I feel we provide an excellent venue for Ckrush to aggressively and creatively promote 'LiveMansion: The Movie.' I also believe that Ckrush will find our Web properties are a great way to foster and build a community of fans as they make the movie and as they prepare for its premiere."

Very Solid Volume Today of 807k

If we get Positive News and a Great PR soon......might be all the trigger we need to send the shares higher Next Week

[ripster]

Dallas: Key Factor #!(1) the only surprise that took place with the first three movies was that people actually came out of them sober. Beer League hit approx 160 movie houses and lasted at the majority for 3 days and was done within one week.

However, if you'll go to post 134 you'll see that they might be getting ready to make movies that people will actually see.

A point that you might have included was the hiring of two execs who have real experience with Internet based enterprise and that is a real plus.

One has been on board for over half a year and I'd expect that we'll begin hearing of their efforts in the near future. It doesn't take a year to negotiate deals and they weren't brought on board to take up space.

The last item that might be worth mentioning is that both BMW and EBay have advertised on the site - that's a bigger endorsement of their direction than the Trashiest Trailer" award!! lol...

[Dallastock]

The Company Appears to have a Solid Foundation

Three key factors are fueling its Success:

!) It has a seasoned team of managers who surprised industry insiders when their very first films came in on time and on budget and sparked cult-like, word-of-mouth buzz. In fact, “Artie Lange’s Beer League,” confirmed that Ckrush had mastered the low-budget, youth-oriented, comedy genre when demand for tickets at the 8th Annual CineVegas Film Festival in Last Vegas forced organizers to arrange an additional screening. The movie’s trailer won the Special Audience Award for “Trashiest Trailer” at the 7th Annual Golden Trailer Awards in New York City.

2) Its principals have positioned the company as an aggressive, cross-platform distribution engine. Ckrush is advancing the merger of digital and entertainment content by exploring and capitalizing on innovative ways to broadcast, stream, and download its content. It is reaching its audience through virtually every type of video- and audio-enabled communication device.

3) While other online communities, like YouTube and FaceBook, are still talking about “social media,” Ckrush sites – LiveMansion, AudioStreet, and MixStreet – are breaking new ground in “social content” by rallying users to work creatively together. No wonder the sites’ rising stickiness numbers now exceed those of bolt.com, facebook.com, classmates.com, and yahoo360.com, and even The New York Times and CNBC, among many others, are impressed.

[jonesieatl]

Okay.

"Source" sounded much different from "trading buddies".

Good luck.

[Dallastock]

I have trading buddies, I trust their advice.....usually pans out good in the long run.......

[Bowty]

Down goes Frazier again. Mr Dallas has no source for anything. Just likes to pump this.

[jonesieatl]

A source?

You have inside info? Your source does?

[Dallastock]

CKRH – Up a tad early today……….

Heard from a source of mine that “great things are forthcoming for CKRH...” perhaps new news in a PR will trigger a strong advance here soon……………

[Bowty]

Its starting to move all right. To the down side. More down today than up yesterday. What do you base your assumptions on MrD?

[Dallastock]

Bowty, I think today is the day......

CKRH – Up Nearly 12% Today at Mid-Day on Good Volume of 250k

This one is starting to move……The fundamental Business Model of their Entertainment Product Lines Seems Right on Target………..

[Bowty]

This is a joke. When is it going up Mr Dallas? Only 2000 shares traded so far. 360 dollars wow. Why did sharpeyed think this was going anywhere?

[Dallastock]

CKRH - Ckrush, Inc. Production Gaining Added Value via TV is a Big Deal!

Comedy Central Acquiring the TV Rights to “Artie Lange’s Bear League” is a Huge Victory for the Company. The uproarious Film Comedy will have its World Television Premiere on America's # 1 Comedy Network in the fall of 2007.

"There is no more perfect television home for 'Artie Lange's Beer League' than Comedy Central," commented Jeremy Dallow, President of Ckrush, Inc. "We are thrilled the film will have its television premiere on this network."

[Dallastock]

CKRH – Ckrush, Inc. - Shares Headed North Today – Up 2.70% on Good Volume

The Company has a solid array of Product Offerings in its Market Niche. Its subsidiary Ckrush Digital Media, Inc. reported recently that its United Kingdom audience for its social networking website MixStreet.net, an online community for dj's, music mixologists, and music fans, has reached over 75,000 active members.

The site as a whole has over 150,000 registered users who spend an average of 11 minutes per session each time they sign on to the site, a significant amount of time in the social networking category.

Members played 400,000 songs on the site in the first quarter of 2007. MixStreet currently has over 20,000 DJ's registered on the site that uses MixStreet to showcase their creations to fans and as a platform to interact with each other.

[Dallastock]

Company has Lots Going for It, Including IRS Rules that Benefit

CKRH Entertainment Has Potential to Benefit Greatly from IRS Rules

CKRUSH ENTERTAINMENT — Full Featured Independent Film Production -- As the company’s premier division, Ckrush Entertainment is on its way to becoming a player In the world of independent film. Following the model of other successful production companies like Lions Gate Entertainment, Ckrush Entertainment is building out the development, production, and distribution of independent films.
The Ckrush filmmaking operations, as well as its efforts to develop programming for television, will benefit from the new Sections 181 and 199 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 181 permits qualified films or television productions with aggregate costs of less than $15 million to expense all production costs in the year incurred, and Section 199 allows taxpayers to deduct up to 9% of “qualified production activities income” for the taxable year.

[jonesieatl]

Oscar ...

... after the entertainment of last week, the PPS seems to be back at where it closed the previous week?

Hard to know exactly what's going on. If I was going to be consistent with most of my previously stated thoughts, I'd say buying interest was enthusiastically met with selling by all of the principals, managers, consultants and other insiders who have been given cheap shares and options for quite a long time now.

It IS possible to squelch buying interest with selling like that LOL and I have said for quite a while that insider greed could prove to be a worthy adversary to the actual monetization of "assets" and the rewarding of retail shareholders.

However, I don't HAVE to be consistent and I try to modify my perception of what is going on when new evidence presents itself.

The things that catch my eye are those two big green volume days, they say volume precedes price, although sometimes there's a bit of a delay. That was certainly some anomalous volume for CKRH last week so, while obviously it was buys AND sells, perhaps we'll see a positive change from the old status quo of decline or.

JMHO -jonesie (p.s. I'm still out, having made the money from low teens to .30's and .40's already, now I'm giving myself the luxury of not getting interested again until CKRH gets thru what should be strong resistance in the .26 area, and maybe even over .30, we'll see.)

[jonesieatl]

I doubt much in the 10K was a surprise.

It just confirmed a lot of the dilution PR'd in the past, and the company said they are a 'going concern' and basically have no experience in some of their new fields of endeavor.

But, that's just boilerplate ;)

jonesie

p.s. Disclosure: I am OUT of this stock and have been for quite some time while watching to see if any of this new stuff they're throwing on the wall sticks.

=================================
Our independent accountants have raised substantial doubts regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have incurred net losses of $11.8 million and $7.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition, we are not in compliance with the payment terms for $2.1 million of our outstanding notes and loans payable including unpaid interest. Further, we had a stockholders’ deficiency of $15.7 million at December 31, 2006. Historically, we have successfully obtained external financing through short-term borrowings and private placements of equity and convertible debt and thus, we hope to remedy these defaults through additional borrowings, conversion of existing debt to equity, ownership contributions, and/or renegotiation of existing terms and conditions of the notes and loans payable in default.
=========================================
We have exposure to pending litigation.

We are currently involved in several legal disputes concerning contractual rights and breaches of contracts principally related to the sports promotion business, certain service providers, and other issues.

We have limited experience in the media industry.

Recent Issuances of Unregistered Securities.

The issuances described in this Item 5 were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act relating to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering. None of the foregoing transactions involved a distribution or public offering.

During the three months ended December 31, 2006, we sold in private placements (i) 350,000 shares of common stock at $.20 per share together with 175,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $.30 per share; (ii) 433,333 shares of common stock at $.15 per share and (iii) 12,050,000 shares (to be issued upon approval of an increase in the authorized number of shares by the stockholders) at $.10 per share together with 12,300,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $.10 per share.

During this period we issued 255,534 shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of $25,563 of notes payable including accrued interest; 20,000 shares in settlement of a dispute; and 128,333 shares upon the ‘‘cashless’’ exercise of warrants. In addition we issued 60,000 shares upon the conversion of 60 shares of Series E preferred stock.

In February 2007, as a result of the approval to increase our authorized number of common shares, we issued 12,050,000 shares sold in connection with a private placement during the fourth quarter of 2006 and an additional 2,250,000 shares sold in January 2007 as part of the same placement.

Also in February 2007, in accordance with a consulting agreement entered into in 2006, the first quarterly installment of 500,000 shares were issued to the consultant’s designees and in accordance with a consulting agreement entered into in January 2007 we issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock to another consultant. The Company also issued 786,306 shares to holders of notes payable aggregating $163,000, including accrued interest, and issued 849,060 shares in settlement of the Company’s guarantee of an obligation of Pledge This Holding, LLC. Further, as a result of a ‘‘cashless’’ exercise of warrants we issued 142,105 shares of common stock.

===========================
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.9 million, to $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, from $5.7 million in the prior year. The increase was attributable to the increase in non-cash compensation charges of $6.4 million as a result of the issuances of stock options to the new management team and new Board of Directors, as well as the implementation of FASB 123 (R). The balance of the increase is principally the result of increase in compensation expense for the new management team which for certain members was accrued and not paid in 2006.
=============================
Cash Flows

At December 31, 2006, the Company’s cash position reflected a balance of $1.5 million, exclusive of a restricted deposit required by our consent decree with the SEC to cover the cost of a special consultant, compared to $57,000 in the prior year.

Operating Cash Flows. In 2006, our principal operating source of cash was from media entertainment sales and related advance receipts. For the 2006 year, we used cash of $2.9 million in operating activities principally to fund the cash loss of $5.2 million, the net loss of $11.8 million, exclusive of non cash charges of $10.8 million and gains which did not provide cash of $4.3 million. Cash generated from the liquidation of net working capital items of $2.3 million was utilized in funding the balance of the net loss.

Comedy Central Acquires Television Rights to "Artie Lange's Beer League"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Market Wire
10:00 a.m. 04/05/2007


Uproarious Film Comedy to Have World Television Premiere on America's # 1 Comedy Network
NEW YORK, NY, Apr 05, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Ckrush Entertainment, Inc., a subsidiary of Ckrush, Inc. (CKRH) and Echo Bridge Entertainment, LLC, announced today that Comedy Central has acquired the exclusive U.S. television rights to the feature film comedy "Artie Lange's Beer League." Comedy Central, television's only all-comedy network, will premier "Beer League" for television audiences in the fall of 2007. The uproarious film, starring Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange, was released theatrically in September 2006 by Echo Bridge Entertainment. The film was produced by Ckrush Entertainment and Identity Films.

"There is no more perfect television home for 'Artie Lange's Beer League' than Comedy Central," commented Jeremy Dallow, President of Ckrush, Inc. "We are thrilled the film will have its television premiere on this network."

"Artie Lange's Beer League" mixes beer, broads and softball to hilarious results in the over-the-top comedy about a group of adult misfits. Artie (Artie Lange) is an unemployed underachiever who still lives with his mother and plays in a small town softball league in New Jersey with his rag-tag group of friends. After Artie's team is threatened with permanent expulsion from their softball league after being jailed for yet another fight on the field, they must rally and move from last place to first to stay in the league. Artie meanwhile has fallen for a local girl with a bit of a past. With everything on the line, Artie and his teammates go for the wins and try to survive the comedy and chaos along the way.

Along with Artie Lange, the film's cast includes Ralph Macchio ("Karate Kid"), Anthony De Sando ("Hysterical Blindness"), Cara Buono ("Hulk," HBO's "Sopranos"), Jimmy Palumbo, Jerry Minor, Laurie Metcalf and Seymour Cassel ("The Life Aquatic"). The film was co-written by Lange and Frank Sebastiano, who makes his directing debut. The film was produced by Anthony Mastromauro and Executive Produced by Gregory Cohen, Jeremy Dallow, Jonathan Gilbert, Steven Angel and Jim DiLorenzo.
