IUC Exclusive: His Highness gets Royal Review from Famous New York Writer

HisHighness — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 19:32:32 +0000

Bestselling author Gwen Cooper has contributed to Variety, People and Harper’s Bazaar. Her most famous work is the provocative book, “Diary of a South Beach Party Girl”. Here’s what Gwen wrote about my film His Highness Hollywood (available for only $14.99 with free shipping -order now for Christmas):

His Highness Hollywood

SupaDupa!!! Productions
Director/Star: Ian Halperin
Retail: $14.99 US

In an era when “undercover journalism” and “gotcha documentary” are so frequently synonymous terms, Ian Halperin’s behind-the-scenes Hollywood dishfest, His Highness Hollywood, is a refreshing—and highly welcome—change of pace. The New York Times best-selling author poses as a gay wannabe actor, who also happens to be “Israeli royalty,” who goes by the moniker “His Highness” and arrives in Hollywood ready for his close-up—and guaranteed stardom. Unlike most undercover expose documentaries, however, there is real humanity in Halperin’s quest to examine the bizarre inner workings and broken dreams that keep the Tinseltown machinery running. Halperin never descends to cheap stunts, eyebrow-waggling innuendo, or the goading of his hapless subjects to ever-greater heights of ludicrousness, unlike so many others of his ilk—including Borat, to which this film will inevitably be compared. The result is a genuinely thoughtful, journalistic, and substantive documentary, one that entertains even as it informs.

The roll call of characters is central-casting colorful: the actress-cum-stripper who takes to the pole when her dreams of stardom (or even a reasonable payday) don’t quite pan out; the strident publicist who takes “His Highness” on as a pet project; the celebrity personal trainer who gives him a body makeover; the fawning retail clerks, casting directors, and questionable nutritionists who can barely contain their glee at the prospect of a new client/protégé who’s genuine “royalty.” Several A-listers make cameo appearances, including Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and George Clooney. Halperin also lands thought-provoking interviews with industry legends including Bill Paxton and Ron Jeremy. He even gets Janice Dickerson herself to photograph him for headshots, with the promise that “we’re going to make magic together!”

Halperin also manages to infiltrate the inner recesses of the Church of Scientology, and do what perhaps no other documentary filmmaker has ever been able to do—get recorded footage of their indoctrination process. The Church assures Halperin in no uncertain terms that, for the right price, they can “cure” him of his homosexuality. These clips, and the bonus Scientology interviews and recordings on the DVD extras, are worth the price of admission all on their own.

For its intelligence, humor, and unflinching candor mixed with surprising warmth, His Highness Hollywood is sure to find a wide, mainstream audience. Recommended for all mainstream and/or mass-market retailers.

Shooting Erupts at Scientology Celebrity Center

HisHighness — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:25:41 +0000

The same place where I filmed much of my undercover film His Highness Hollywood was rocked by a shooting spree yesterday. Hope my flick ain’t pissing off folks enough to make them pull up at Scientology with guns. (Dlist)

Check out this clip from the film of the instructor at Scientology hooking me up to their notorious Emeter

IUC Sunday Soup: Oyvama, Does Prince Philip have warts on his dick?, Lindsay Lohan seeing new guy, Charlotte Dawson hits sack with professional con, Madonna goes Nuts

HisHighness — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 18:37:10 +0000

- A lot of Yids were worried about Barack’s position toward Israel. Seems he has tons of friends who are Yids, including his new Chief of Staff – IUC predicts he’ll be the President to finally resolve the MidEast crisis.
- The London escort who opened up to IUC about her high profile clients will reveal in her new book Prince Philip has warts on his private parts and that Mohammad Al Fayed paid her extra to dress up as Sporty Spice – apparently he’s a huge fan of the all female pop group.
- Friends close to wild child Lindsay Lohan insist to me she is bonking a guy behind Samantha Ronson’s back. “Lindsay is seeing an older man, he’s around 50,” one of her pals wrote me. “She’s out of control. Samantha knows it but she’s hanging on for dear life, hoping Lindsay will marry her.”
- First Anne Hathaway, now Charlotte Dawson. Seems Hollywood’s leading ladies love to hit the sack with fraudsters. Read This
- Madonna has gone crazy – literally, with ex hubby Guy Ritchie. READ THIS-

His Highness Goes Back To School; Returns to EMSB Roots

HisHighness — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:18:59 +0000

Had an amazing time yesterday speaking to packed audiences at Lauren Hill (formerly Sir Winston) and Gardenview School. Special thanks to the incomparable, amazing and dynamic team of EMSB P.R. Chief Mike Cohen and Stuart Nulman for putting it all together. The students asked questions that were better than some of the top media dogs I’ve been interviewed by over the years, a list that includes Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric, Paula Zahn and Maury Povich. Bravo class!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Sorry for the Inconvenience – But We’re not exactly sure What Happened…YET!

HisHighness — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 02:31:05 +0000

The site was overflowing all morning with record traffic. Thank You! But it turns out that was not the problem for the mysterious eight hour shutdown. Once we investigate further and find out the real cause we’ll let you know. Unfortunately, we probably would have had a few million hits today – c’est la vie! Again, IUC shouts out thanks to everyone for their unwavering support.
Brings back memories of what happened at my film premiere at National Arts Club several months ago. Ironically, just like the Will Smith story that was sabotaged, my film dealt with Scientology. Maybe Xenu does have extraterrestrial powers after all! READ THIS
