Press Release May 31, 2007

HandHeld Entertainment Begins Online Marketing/Promotion Campaign for Ckrush Entertainment’s Feature Film “LiveMansion: The Movie”

HandHeld launches a LiveMansion channel on its Dorks.com Web site, as well as other advertising and marketing efforts on its other Web properties

SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK – May 31, 2007 – HandHeld Entertainment™ (NASDAQ: ZVUE), a global digital entertainment company, today announced it has begun the initial phase of its online promotional campaign for “LiveMansion: The Movie” with the launch of a LiveMansion Web-channel on Dorks.com™, a HandHeld Entertainment Web site.

“LiveMansion: The Movie” is a breakthrough movie from Ckrush Entertainment, a subsidiary of Ckrush, Inc. (OTCBB: CKRH) that is slated to be the first feature film produced by an online social network. As such, it encourages and allows aspiring actors, filmmakers and movie buffs alike to go online for the opportunity to appear in the film, vote on the selection of cast members and directors, submit plot, character and marketing ideas, with those participating the most actually given ownership in the film.

“We’re leveraging the millions of visitors to HandHeld’s seven Web sites to help us create ‘LiveMansion: The Movie,’” said Jeremy Dallow, president of Ckrush, Inc. “It’s like ‘American Idol’ meets the Internet. Launching a LiveMansion Web-channel on Dorks.com is a great first step, and we believe this entire campaign will allow ‘LiveMansion: The Movie’ to harness the creative energy of HandHeld’s entire online network as visitors compete for roles and influence the making of the movie. Having our online auditions available to be seen on the HandHeld network of Web sites will also help accelerate interest in this exciting project.”

The LiveMansion channel on Dorks.com features

  • News and updates about “LiveMansion: The Movie,”
  • Profiles and videos of the first eight actors cast for the film, as well as
  • Information about the director selected for “LiveMansion: The Movie” (with the winning actors and director selected by popular online vote.)

“This is just the first of many steps we plan to take in our online promotion and marketing campaign for ‘LiveMansion: The Movie’ for Ckrush” said Jeff Oscodar, president and CEO of HandHeld Entertainment. “Such celebrities as Spike Lee, John Leguizamo, Cara Buono and Michael Rapaport have joined Ckrush in various ways to support and promote ‘LiveMansion: The Movie.’ We anticipate leveraging their involvement and the involvement of other celebrities across HandHeld’s expansive network of Web sites to drive greater interest in this feature film through our custom LiveMansion channel. We’ll also give members of HandHeld’s audience the opportunity to audition for a part in the film as unique character. These combined efforts should help us build an attractive advertising and promotional platform for companies all over the world.”

HandHeld’s online advertising/promotional efforts for “LiveMansion: The Movie” are also being deployed on the six other Web sites in HandHeld’s network of Web properties, including

  • Putfile.com™,
  • Holylemon.com™,
  • UnOriginal.co.uk™,
  • YourDailyMedia.com™,
  • FunMansion.com™ and
  • ZVUE.com™.

HandHeld Entertainment also plans to reveal in early June an exclusive character role for “LiveMansion: The Movie” and will allow visitors to its Web sites to create an additional character for the film by submitting audition videos, much like “LiveMansion: The Movie” has already accomplished with the characters “Famous” and “Wasted.”
