Motorola attacks iPad in their awesome Xoom teaser ad
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Videos,
Motorola has released a teaser for the forthcoming Xoom tablet.
"2011 Looks a lot like 1984. One Authority. One design. One way to work. It's time for more choices," says the clip.
It seems to be a shot at Apple, with the text of the video appearing over an image of a globe sporting the iPad maker's signature white ear buds.
The preview advertises the Xoom's speed, boasting its dual-core 1GHz processor, 1080p HD video playback, and 3G upgradable to 4G. It also emphasizes the tablet's flexibility. It will run on Android 3.0 Honeycomb and use Adobe Flash Player. The Xoom will also have a five-megapixel rear-facing camera and a two-megapixel front-facing camera. Apple's next-generation iPad is also rumored to include dual-facing cameras.

"Look sharp, not tired. Enough said."
When I think of L'Oreal, I imagine celebrities such Beyonce, Eva Longoria (Parker) and Penelope Cruz fronting the brand -- but Gerard Butler?
In his latest role, the hunky movie star puts his good looks to use in new ads for the cosmetics company.
I don't really care know what he's selling here -- Hydra Energetic Anti-Fatigue Moisturizer?? -- but I like what I'm seeing.
(Be sure to check out the finished commercials after the jump.)

See (Finally!) Taylor Momsen in John Galliano Commercial
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Videos,
Earlier this year, we got to hear Taylor Momsen (sort) of fronting a perfume commercial for John Galliano. Now, we actually get to see her in the ad.
Although we found it strange that she didn’t really appear in the first version, we’re kind of torn now. After watching both videos, let us know what you think. Do you like the Parlez-Moi d'Amour spot better when you’re focusing on her singing – or on her raccoon eyes?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Commercials, Gossip, Video,
Millions have seen the Google TV commercial starring Kevin Bacon as his own biggest fan. The ad left many scratching their heads … but, they were probably laughing when they were doing it. So, how does a one-minute ad spot become the stuff of legendary advertising? Take one actor who won’t compromise, some interesting hair and make-up ideas, and you’ve got commercial history.
“I didn’t know how far [Logitech] wanted to go with the look and the character. If it was just me kind of walking around, people would think it was weird,” Kevin Bacon explained. While people still think it’s a little bit weird, most seem to really “get” the ad -- and we’ve got Kevin Bacon to thank.

Before They Were Stars: Taylor Momsen Shakes Her Chicken
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Commercials, Video,
Before she was collecting tips in her shoes … before she started resembling the Bride of Chucky … before she started shaking things up on Gossip Girl ... Taylor Momsen was shaking her chicken.

VIDEO: Jane Lynch Promotes Members Project
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Commercials, Video,
Somewhere in the midst of all the singing and drama on the second season premiere of Glee, Jane Lynch appeared in full Sue Sylvester mode, via the new Members Project commercial from American Express.
Wearing her now-compulsory tracksuit, Lynch-as-Sue delivered fabulous one-liners like “What do animals do, except poop on your lawn and make you feel guilty about how delicious they are?” and “Sure, I’ll take a stand…for as long as it takes me to find a comfy chair.”
At the end of the ad spot, the image goes dark. The words “Don’t Be a Sue” encourage everyone to take part in the Project, and “do something good.”
