About This Site 

This site will feature entertainment news, interviews and commentary with an emphasis on events in the NJ, NYC, CT and Philadelphia area. We will cover #femalesinentertainement and other women doing big things.  Think a  little bit of Ms. Magazine and People. We especially enjoy writing about rom coms, films featuring women, Hallmark movies and comedies. 

This is not a gossip site, and even if I am sent information that would make headlines, I won't share it.  I like to focus on what people have accomplished in their lives and what they do for charity. You will also see articles about charitable organizations on this site.

New writers are always welcome. Contact info@WIPRandProducing.com.
