Likeable action-oriented film star, and wrestler, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson brings his brand to TV in the TNT reality competition show, “The Hero.” Set to premier in the summer of 2013, “The Hero,” (a working title), pits 10 housemates against one another in missions that will “test their brains, their brawn and even their morality,” TNT says. Johnson will serve as mentor and executive producer along with Dany Garcia, his production partner. The network has ordered eight episodes from Ben Silverman’s multimedia entertainment studio, Electus and 5×5 Media, and the show plans to use social media extensively, seizing on Johnson’s 10 million fans on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Viewers will vote each week for the contestant they consider to be the most heroic. “The Rock is the embodiment of ‘The Hero’ and an inspirational superstar with an unwavering moral compass,” said Ben Silverman, founder and chairman of Electus. “‘The Hero’ will deliver on his brand as an incredible action-filled series that test the limits of real people in extraordinary circumstances while also activating the Rock and Turner’s audience with seamless digital and social media tie-ins. “Dany and I couldn’t be more excited to enter into our first official foray in TV production,” said Rock. “The Hero speaks to everything I believe in when it comes to challenging ourselves, to becoming better people every day and to making the right choices while growing from the wrong ones. Bridging the digital and physical world on the small screen in a way that’s never been done before will enable fans to use social media and on-screen decision making to determine the fate of the show’s contestants, and our goal is to make each TV moment impactful and exciting.” The premise of Hero is bringing together ten "ordinary people" in one house and then assigning them "various missions that will test their brains, their brawn, and even their morality." Social media will be a strong component of the show. TNT described the social media aspect. "In a unique twist on the reality-competition format, The Hero will incorporate social media into every facet of the show, from pre-production and casting to on-location shooting and live broadcasts. Through the show’s interactive digital platform, viewers will be able to vote each week for the contestant they consider to be the most heroic. The series will also leverage the power of Johnson’s enormous social-media following, which includes more than 10 million fans through Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube."

'No color policy' sign outside Las Vegas casino sends mixed messages
Las Vegas
A picture of a sign on Binion’s Hotel & Casino floor along Fremont Street Experience has sparked uproar.
The three words in large print “No color policy” get people's attention first.
“Is that about people not being allowed to wear color shirts or colored skin, what is that about?” said a mom and daughter from Canada.
“Let’s say I’ve got $200 of red; they’ll give me to blacks and you say, ‘color in’ I don’t know what this means though,” said Jim, visiting from North Carolina.
“That’s up-front racists,” said Bryan visiting from Chicago.
The sign goes on to say, “No person while on the Fremont Street Experience properties shall exhibit apparel, accessories, or decal or endorsement of any motorcycle club, gang, association or organization.”
“If you’re in a motorcycle club and you wear your colors. You can wear them anywhere. You should be able to,” said one man from Idaho.
Still confusing to those who take the time to read it completely.
Josh, an avid motorcycle rider says in most bars the ‘no-color policy’ signs are meant to cut down the tension that sometimes builds between rival motorcycle clubs inside establishments. He thinks the sign is fair.
“I do to an aspect they don’t want the club colors there because it's like a gang. You don’t want Bloods and Crips in the same vicinity with one another,” said Josh.
There was a shootout between two rival biker gangs last May on a local freeway.
Henderson Police say members of the Hells Angels targeted Vagos Motorcycle club members 6 people were wounded.
But Josh isn’t affiliated with any groups and says the sign in Binion’s Casino stereotypes all bikers.
“There’s always going to be that stigma of anybody that rides a motorcycle is in that group and that’s not true. It's just grouping us all together,” said the biker.
KSNV left a message for Binion’s manager but did not receive a callback, however, Fremont Street Experience sent us this statement:
“Fremont Street Experience does not influence or dictate policies for individual private properties. Each property has its policies in place. Fremont Street Experience does not have a restriction on “colors” today.”
