Work for a Star

Here are 10 stars whose companies are currently hiring.
Kate Hudson
The market for fitness gear and active wear is booming right now as consumers become increasingly interested in healthier lifestyles.

Justin Timberlake
This former NSYNC heartthrob and current actor/musician has his hand in a few business endeavors. While Timberlake's best-known corporate property, MySpace, isn't currently hiring, there's bound to be plenty of room for hosts, servers and bartenders at Southern Hospitality, a New York City barbecue joint he co-created and opened in 2013.

Will Ferrell
It makes sense that an actor known for his "Saturday Night Live" sketches and off-the-wall comedies is one of the people behind comedy video site FunnyOrDie.com. The Web startup has a few full-time positions available right now, including a mobile engineer, a Rails engineer and a growth hacker.

Ellen DeGeneres
Anyone with aspirations of working in television can apply to be an intern on one of today's most popular daytime talk shows. Details about the program are pretty vague, but evidently it's not hard to apply: You just need to provide your name, contact information and your "story" in 1,500 characters or less. Former intern Julie Kogura shared her experience on <a href="http://www.lmu.edu/Page85236.aspx">Loyola Marymount University's</a> website for anyone interested in learning more about the program.

Billionaire media mogul Turner owns CNN, Turner Entertainment and TNT, among other major entertainment and news networks. His companies have so many available positions that there's an entire website, <a href="http://turnerjobs.com/#/careers/job-search" target="_blank">turnerjobs.com</a>, dedicated to helping you work for the Turner businesses.
Bobby Flay
The Food Network star and grill master owns several restaurant chains with locations across the country, including Mesa Grill, Bar Americain and Bobby's Burger Palace. If you want a restaurant job with a little more prestige than server or line cook, apply for a chef or managerial position through the restaurants' parent company, <a href="http://boldfood.net">Bold Food</a>. <p><p> <em>Originally published on Jun. 4, 2013.
