"I have this one term for the kind of woman my mother raised me not to be, and I call it a 'Do-Nothing B-tch'. It's the kind of chick that just tries to be pretty and be taken care of by somebody else. That's why I think it's hilarious when people say that my body looks masculine or something. Just because my body was developed for a purpose other than f-cking millionaires, doesn't mean it's masculine. I think it's femininely badass as f-ck because there isn't a single muscle on my body that doesn't have a purpose because I'm not a 'Do-Nothing B-tch'!." When Ronda Rousey made this speech she inspired women everywhere. Beyonce even played a recording on-stage and it went viral. But Rousey has been inspiring others her whole career. The journey to the top for the most dominant mixed-martial-arts fighter in history has been filled with challenges. From a childhood marked by speech problems to the painful loss of her father, she grew up repeatedly pushing her mind and body to the limit in order to win. She battled prejudice to become the first female fighter in UFC. Now she is the biggest name in the sport, breaking attendance levels and re-writing the history books with her astonishing knockout victories, most in under a minute. She has also forged a successful Hollywood career as an actor. In this honest and inspiring book, Rousey relives her greatest fights and shares her secrets for success and mental toughness. She reveals how we can all be at our best, even on our worst days, and how we can turn our limitations into opportunities. It will leave you ready to face your own challenges in life, whatever they may be.
I'm writing a book I wish I would have had on the worst day of my life. I like to think of it as a book someone would have given me when I felt completely destroyed and said, "I know you're not ready, but when you are, you should really read this - and not just because it has valuable life lessons, but because it's also amusing as f*ck." This book is not a story about how sometimes the greatest challenges are blessings in disguise. This book is a story about how sometimes in life everything you have worked for comes crashing down and the only way forward is to rebuild it into something better.
Doug Ellin, creator of the TV show, directs this feature film that follows on from the last season. Adrian Grenier stars as actor Vincent Chase, who, with the financial backing of former agent and newly-appointed studio head Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven), is able to make his directorial debut. Ari encounters problems, however, when the film goes over budget, while Vincent takes his usual carefree approach to the situation. He is supported by his entourage - his half brother Johnny 'Drama' Chase (Kevin Dillon) and friends Salvatore 'Turtle' Assante (Jerry Ferrara) and Eric Murphy (Kevin Connolly), who is also Vincent's manager. The rest of the cast includes Billy Bob Thornton, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Haley Joel Osment with cameo appearances by, among others, Jessica Alba, Liam Neeson, Armie Hammer, Calvin Harris, Ronda Rousey and Mark Wahlberg.
