Rose Kennedy Schlossberg’s wedding was officiated by Tim Shriver, according to a Tumblir post about the ceremony.
In 2008, Tim Shriver and supporters called for a boycott of the movie Tropic Thunder, claiming that it mocks people with mental disabilities.
Tim Shriver was the executive producer on The Ringer, a co-producer on Amistad and the Disney movie The Loretta Claiborne Story, and has served as a producer or co-producer on shows for the American Broadcasting Company, the National Broadcasting Corporation, and the TNT cable
channel. He is currently a board member of Malaria No More, a New York-based nonprofit that was launched at the 2006 White House Summit with the goal of ending all deaths caused by malaria.
Peter Chernin is chairman and co-founder of Malaria No More and a trustee of
Malaria No More UK, non-profits dedicated to ending deaths due to malaria.
Prior to starting TCG, Chernin served as president and chief operating officer of News Corporation and chairman and CEO of the Fox Group from 1996 to 2009.
Fox Entertainment Group formed in the 1980s
after the purchase of the Metromedia-owned independent stations by the 20th Century Fox film studio, at the time jointly owned by Australian-American media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, and Denver billionaire Marvin Davis.
In 1981, Marvin Davis acquired
20th Century Fox for $722 million with financier Marc Rich.
Friend Aaron Spelling loosely based the Carrington family of his TV series Dynasty on the Davises, even filming an episode at their Colorado home.
Jason Davis was a cast member on the fourth season of VH1's Celebrity
Rehab with Dr. Drew.
It all began in 2006 when Linday Lohan was reportedly linked to Hilton’s ex-boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos, a Greek shipping heir.
Shortly after a video went viral wherein Paris Hilton was seen audibly laughing as her friend, Brandon Davis, went on to insult
Lindsay Lohan to the paparazzi. As reported by E!, Davis said, “I think she’s worth about $7 million, which means she’s really poor. It’s disgusting. She lives in a motel.”
By November of the same year, Linday Lohan allegedly called Hilton a C*nt on camera but when she was
asked to clarify her statement, she said, “I never said that. I love Paris. Paris is my friend.” Only a week later, Lohan claimed that Hilton hit her in the arm with a drink at a party.
Stavros Spyrou Niarchos (3 July 1909 – 15 April 1996) was a Greek billionaire shipping
tycoon. Starting in 1952, he had the world's biggest supertankers built for his fleet. Propelled by both the Suez Crisis and increasing demand for oil, he and rival Aristotle Onassis became giants in global petroleum shipping.
Stavros Niarchos married Charlotte Ford in 1965,
daughter of tycoon automaker Henry Ford II, in Mexico. Their daughter Elena Anne Ford was born six months later. When the marriage ended in divorce the following year Niarchos returned to his former wife, Eugenia. No remarriage was necessary, since the couple's 1965 Mexican
divorce had not been recognised by Greek law.
He notably excluded from his will Elena Ford, his daughter by his ex-wife Charlotte. She sued the estate in both Swiss and Greek courts for her 1/10th share, estimated to be worth £700 million.
He married Eugenia Livanos in 1947, a
daughter of shipping magnate Stavros G. Livanos. They divorced in 1965; she died in 1970 at the age of 44, after an overdose of barbiturates.
◦During this marriage he had an affair with Pamela Churchill (later Pamela Harriman).
At the age of seventeen, Pamela Churchill was
sent to a Munich boarding school for six months. While there she was introduced to Adolf Hitler by Unity Mitford.
Beside two additional marriages, Pamela Harriman had numerous affairs with men of prominence and wealth. When her marriage to Randolph Churchill started to fall
apart, she became romantically involved with Averell Harriman, who later became her third husband; Edward R. Murrow; and John Hay "Jock" Whitney.[citation needed] After her divorce from Churchill she was involved with Prince Aly Khan, Alfonso de Portago, Gianni Agnelli, and
Baron Elie de Rothschild.
William S. Paley, briefly a consort during WWII, said: "She is the greatest courtesan of the century", meaning it as a compliment.
SHORTLY before Pamela Harriman's death at 76 in Paris on Feb. 5, 1997 the world got a searing portrait of the American Ambassador to France with the publication of ''Reflected Glory,'' a biography by Sally Bedell Smith. Deep in the book, discussing Mrs. Harriman's manipulations
of the press, Ms. Smith writes that late in 1992, just before Bill Clinton's inauguration, Mrs. Harriman agreed to talk to me for New York magazine ''on condition that her quotes be attributed to an 'intimate.' ''
On 7 October 1950, Truman selected Walter Bedell Smith as
Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), the head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Since the post had been established in 1946, there had been three directors, none of whom had wanted the position.
The 1949 Intelligence Survey Group had produced the
Dulles-Jackson-Correa Report, which found that the CIA had failed in its responsibilities in both the coordination and production of intelligence.
In 1953, Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán threatened to nationalize land belonging to the United Fruit Company. Smith
ordered the American ambassador in Guatemala to put a CIA plan for a Guatemalan coup into effect, which was accomplished by the following year. Smith left the State Department on 1 October 1954 and took up a position with the United Fruit Company. He also served as president and
chairman of the board of the Associated Missile Products Company and AMF Atomics Incorporated, vice chairman of American Machine and Foundry (AMF) and a director of RCA and Corning Incorporated.
One of AMF's post-World War II ventures was AMF Atomics: a division that made
"low-dose irradiation equipment" for "the US Army Quartermaster Corps' bulk-food irradiation program".
In a masterstroke of top executive recruitment, Patterson hired top US government cold warrior Walter Bedell Smith, whose leadership positions at the Pentagon,
US State Department and CIA made AMF one of the pillars of the US military-industrial complex during the 1950s and 1960s. In the late 1950s, the company won a contract for designing and constructing "a small 1 MW swimming pool-type reactor" at the Soreq Nuclear Research Center in
Israel, which for a short time helped the Israelis conceal the fact that they were also building the Negev Nuclear Research Center for military purposes elsewhere in the country with French assistance.
Following the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, during.
the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Marc Rich used his special relationship with Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of the revolution, to buy oil from Iran despite the American embargo. According to Forbes Magazine, Asadollah Asgaroladi was also the secret business partner of Rich in
helping bypass U.S. sanctions against Iran after the Iranian revolution.
Iran would become Rich's most important supplier of crude oil for more than 15 years. Rich sold Iranian oil to Israel through a secret pipeline.
Due to his good relationship with Iran and
Ayatollah Khomeini, Rich helped give Mossad's agents contacts in Iran.
After a management buyout, Marc Rich + Co was renamed Glencore on 1 September 1994. Ivan Glasenberg was appointed chief executive in 2002. Glencore merged in 2013 with Xstrata (formerly
Südelektra Holding AG) to become Glencore Xstrata, headquartered in Baar, Switzerland.
Nicole Richie came to prominence after appearing in the reality show The Simple Life (2003–2007), in which she starred alongside her childhood friend and fellow socialite Paris Hilton.
