It’s no joke — Vienna has landed a REAL job and HollywoodLife.com spoke with her new boss!
The Bachelor‘s Vienna Girardi isn’t messing around with her life anymore. Just a week after her breakup with fiance Bachelor Jake Pavelka on June 21, Vienna tweeted that she landed a new REAL job in marketing and philanthropy working for Biolustré, a company that sells reconstructive hair products — and we confirmed the big news with Vienna’s new boss! “She will be working with our polymer scientists, with charities like the American Cancer Society and working with cancer centers all over the United States” to help launch the company’s non-profit foundation, Chief Operating Officer Leonard Buchanan told HollywoodLife.com exclusively!
“She seems to be a good, hard worker who wants to dig into this project,” Leonard says. And he’s not worried that this is just a temporary gig: “She wants a career she can dig her feet into. She wants to have a job that will last. She wants to be apart of something that she believes in.”
Wow! This comes as a complete surprise to Bachelor fans who have criticized Vienna over the past week for selling her break-up story to Star magazine. People called the whole situation a publicity stunt and believed Vienna to only be chasing a career in Hollywood.
But Vienna actually seems committed to and eligible for her new job. “She really is someone who is really concerned with charities” and has worked with them in the past, Leonard tells us. And he says her past employees “all love her to death!”
Vienna joined Biolustré to work on efforts of the Biolustré Foundation that will be “providing free hair treatments to women who have gone through cancer.” She will be based out of LA under the guidance of the company’s director of training, Nancy Daring. “Nancy is working very close with Vienna and she’s based out of LA,” Leonard tells us.
Biolustré is a hair repair system that focuses on a non-keratin non-protein synthetic bio-identical polymers that reconstruct the hair follicles from the inside out. The technology penetrates the hair and bonds the inner cortex of the hair, leaving it “200 percent stronger.” People see massive change after one use!
Congrats to Vienna for getting such a meaningful job! She’s proving all of her haters wrong — the girl’s got more go than any of us ever expected.
Jake, it looks like Vienna may be your loss and not the other way around! … Wow — did I actually just say that?

The old adage about there being good in all of us rings true here. Girardi has proved she can get a meaningful job; now let us see how long she can keep it and return to Planet Earth. Her past life has certainly been on the wild side and she does have some serious proving to do. As far as Pavelka is concerned, he would prove his worth if he sat himself down in a 727 again.

The problem I have with reality shows is that they are scripted. These bachlors have had acting background and they are so into getting themselves on TV that they will sink to the level of reality TV. As far as Vienna I thought they would never make it, good for her getting a job I guess. Jake has made himself so ugly chasing his hollywood dream….he is a loser. Why does not Star do a cover story on the oil spill? That is what reality is!

Seriously! Im not trying to be rude but I can’t beleive there are still people who hate her…im sure yall don’t even know her personally, yall only know her from TV. Im sure most of you are still in high school because it looks like yall haven’t grown up and matured yet. Yall need to get into any church and get Jesus in your life. This is just sad how yall feel towards Vienna. I don’t know her personally but I wish her the best.

Look, let’s face it Vienna isn’t too bright. But she does need to work. Clearly she has no acting ability, so forget her going into anything with real potential.

Well that’s good, it is about time that she starts making money in a non-stripping, non-selling out someone else, non-sugar daddy way. Even if I am still confused about what she is actually doing..coordinating fundraisers? Making the fundraising calls? Being a spokesperson? But Jake and Vienna are both still well rid of each other. I think it is more than apparent that there was never any love to be lost on either side.

Hiring Vienna will help market this product.

You all are pretty clueless. A company reaches out to her to capitalize on her 15 minutes of fame in order to help them launch this new foundation, and you think she’s ambitious about working.. LOL!

@differentperspective
I think you may be right. Claims of the product making a 200% difference after one use sounds pretty fishy to me. Vienna working with polymer scientists also registers as strange.
It seems they are trying to market/sell their product under the guise of charity work with cancer patients, and they approached Vienna to get the publicity (free). I hope I’m wrong but I’ve seen it done before. Hate that I’ve become such a skeptic…

I don’t like Jake or Vienna, but at least she got herself a real nine to five job and loser Jake is still trying to stay a celebrity. Maybe he should follow her lead…get a real job, you know something you may be good at–because acting is not for you.

Good luck with not having money given to you on a silver platter, and some people work for a living and still want a better life.

Yea, yea, yea – whatever…..Vienna is still a gold digger and a pretty girl looking for fame, fortune and a good time. Ok, so she’s going to be working with a charity organization – she’ll probably be some kind of tv spokesperson or something. Frankly, I think Jake became a loser when he chose her anyway – not just for the break up, but from the “hook up” with her. Come on, Jake – she’s 8 years younger, spoiled (by your own admisssion -except you called it “overprotected”) and apparently quite immature. Both of you are losers!!!

Vienna is beautiful young and naive…Jake was cheap, I guess he did not realize that he would have to support his young fiancee until she got on her feet. That seemed to be his major complaint in his people interview. It is his own damn fault. Hello she was a 21 year old girl, naive and accompanying your fame whoring ASS all over the country. Jake should have known she could not be into a career immediately bc she was there supporting his FAMEWHORE career. I think she can do better, Jake was cheap and never had sex with her. He took advantage of her heart. Just my view from an outsider looking and and watching the show. Oh and yes he should have married TENLEY, bc they could have both gone through life not having SEX together LOL

She actually graduated from college about 1 month before going on the Bachelor. She’s qualified and what the hell’s wrong with waiting tables ANYWHERE when you’re trying to get through school? UNBELIEVABLE! You know nothing about her and not only do you judge her, you do so in ignorance about her.

For someone who is in hiding, she sure got her info out there in the news. Maybe Jake is right, she is the fame whore. Oh Vienna just a tip. You might want to start using some of that shampoo on your own head.

I don’t think I like her, but I can’t evaluate my thoughts by what TV and the media projects. On the other hand she has accomplished a lot more than many others her age. College,non profit work, and misc other jobs.

No! She’s 21, just finished her undergraduate degree before ‘The Bachelor’. A case of too much, too soon…no time to process and absorb everything going on in her life. As for Jake he knows better. Who helped him become a commercial pilot? What ever thoughts ran through his mind were ridiculous. She was going to need financial help for a while. ‘DWTS’ is a whole other deal. I bet Vienna didn’t bargain for that. Hind sight is 20/20. I never liked her fairly aggrasive tone on the show. Now,I hope she atleast takes sometime to raise all the ‘tabloids’ and do something to prove to herself, Vienna is great on her own.
