Full Scope PR is making moves.

The West Hollywood-based firm, which launched earlier this year as a partnership between veteran reps Jack Ketsoyan and Pia Malihi, has hired publicist Jennifer Curran as managing director and struck a partnership with digital talent manager Chelsea Durgin to help build Full Scope’s digital talent management department. Both execs will be based at the firm’s West Hollywood office.

Curran, who started her career at Summit Entertainment working on projects like the Twilight franchise, segued to the firm formerly known as Rogers & Cowan in 2014. She focused on talent relations and award strategies working with the likes of Rob Lowe, Jeff Daniels, Riz Ahmed, Kelly Marie Tran, Jacob Elordi, Emily Ratajkowski, Sam Levinson and Vince Vaughn, and on projects like Room, Straight Outta Compton, Hacksaw Ridge, The Night Of, Game of Thrones and Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird.

I am hurting too." She hopes...

OnlyFans, which allows creators to earn a monthly fee in exchange for their posts, has spurred press attention in recent years as a result of the adult content available on the site and the growing list of celebrity creators.  "Um @gabcake you better make a statement Asap about this onlyfans s--t," one critic tweeted at her on...
