Jonah Hill<\/strong><\/p>\n

The unexpected golden-boy of cinema, everything Jonah Hill does makes money and, for the most part, receives critical acclaim. His major rebranding occurred with Moneyball, which established him as a serious actor worthy of dramatic, limelight roles. Hence <\/ins>his recent, excellent performance in the Wolf of Wall Street, which is already generating Oscar buzz.<\/p>\n

Gary Shteyngart<\/strong><\/p>\n

You probably haven\u2019t read his previous book, Super Sad True Love Story<\/em>, but you\u2019ve probably seen the cover:<\/p>\n

\"super-sad-true-love-story1\"<\/p>\n

Either way, the novel was a New York Times best-seller, lauded critically, and was optioned for \u2014\u00a0it\u2019s rumored \u2014 one million dollars. Instead of bemoaning American disinterest in literature, Shteyngart and co. have met America on its own terms to advertise his upcoming memoir, Little Failure<\/em>, with an online video trailer that features, among other celebrities, James Franco and Jonathan Franzen.<\/p>\n

Miley Cyrus<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"miley-cyrus-rolling-stone11\"<\/p>\n

Miley\u2019s new, sexually-expressive image has landed her on the cover of Rolling Stone and made her the subject of media obsession. Long term, she\u2019ll probably require another equally significant stage of brand evolution to remain relevant and exciting. For the moment, though, Miley\u2019s approach has brought her, at the very least, an earning power and level of influence she certainly didn\u2019t have this time last year.<\/p>\n

Bill de Blasio<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bill-de-blasio1\"<\/p>\n

In his recent landslide victory, Bill De Blasio became the first Democrat Mayor of New York City in 20 years. Thanks to a career characterized by pursuit of equality and, as Mayor Bloomberg pointed out to his own demise, De Blasio\u2019s biracial family, the new Mayor successfully positioned himself as the antithesis to Bloomberg (and Guliani), just as Obama came to represent everything that W.\u00a0Bush wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Joaquin Phoenix<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"joaquin-phoenix1\"<\/p>\n

Joaquin Phoenix\u2019s semi-recent staged public breakdown, however intentional and for whatever reason,\u00a0was set to be one of the greatest examples of a self-destructed brand. Since it\u2019s culmination in 2010 with \u201cI\u2019m Still Here\u201d, Joaquin\u2019s personal brand took a full 180 \u2013 from unanimously-forgotten satire (or whatever it was) to unforgettable dramatic performances, beginning with last year\u2019s \u201cThe Master\u201d and this 2013\/2014\u2019s \u201cHer\u201d. These two films have established Phoenix, one can argue, as the go-to\u00a0male lead \u2013 the one who can attract large audiences to serious, artistic films.<\/p>\n

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"nadezhda-tolokonnikova1\"<\/p>\n

On February 21, 2012, Tolokonnikova made headlines with the rest of Pussy Riot, her punk rock band, for holding a \u201cPunk Prayer\u201d in a Moscow cathedral.\u00a0 More controversy followed as two band-members, Tolokno among them, were formally accused of \u201chooliganism\u201d and sentenced to two years imprisonment.\u00a0 Nadya\u2019s letters to family \u2013 written with the public in mind \u2013 detailed the prison system\u2019s horrific conditions and intimidation techniques, and went viral, making international headlines. \u00a0Tolokno became so much of a nuisance that she disappeared mysteriously for two months, entirely cut off from the outside, only to surface again upon her (slightly premature) release last December.\u00a0 Now free, she\u2019s been even more vocal, and with increased legitimacy in the eyes of her followers and naysayers alike, you should expect to hear a lot more from Nadya in 2014.\u00a0 She\u2019s already calling for an international boycott of the Sochi Olympics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
