Lost Producers Not Aware of Bud Light Super Bowl Commercial


Jay Leno and David Letterman’s Super Bowl commercial wasn’t the only spot yesterday to mock some television drama. ABC’s Lost also became the focus of one of Bud Light’s many ads.

Given the similarities between the actual show and the clip, you’d have thought executive producers and Damon Lindelof were somehow involved. Well, they weren’t—but that doesn’t mean they didn’t enjoy the commercial.

Conan Envisioned for Letterman, Leno Super Bowl Commercial


If Jay Leno is willing to share his program with Jimmy Kimmel, we shouldn’t be surprised to see him in a Late Show spot…right?

Those not distracted during last night’s game were probably caught off guard by a commercial that only lasted 15 seconds. David Letterman, Oprah and Leno all on the same couch together? WTF?

According to Late Show producer Rob Burnett, the idea for the promo came from Letterman himself. The shoot, which was done in secret at the Ed Sullivan Theatre, came together quickly within the past two weeks. Sadly, audiences missed on a possible fourth guest.

Katy Perry

Finally, something to get those Jessica Simpson commercials out of our heads— is to be the new face of an acne medication.

The “I Kissed A Girl” singer will promote the anti-spot cream Proactiv Solution alongside Canadian singer and The Office‘s Jenna Fischer. Adverts filmed by the stars will begin airing in the US next month before a worldwide release. Ben Van de Bunt, the company’s executive, said all of the representatives would be paid a significant amount of money.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Commercials, Gossip, Video,


Hanes won’t be making any more commercials with anytime soon.

The advertising campaign featuring the actor has ended, which a spokesman for the company says is “pretty standard, straightforward” when “somebody who’s in your commercial is arrested on suspicion of something of this magnitude.” He’s referring of course to the recent domestic disturbance between Sheen and his current wife, a highly-publicized and very messy bit of scandal.

VIDEO: A Lady Gaga Christmas Album?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Videos, Pop,


“If I’m good, I’ll get my gift. I wanna take a ride with old St. Nick…”

If she’s willing to write songs for Michael Bolton, is a holiday CD really such a ridiculous thought?

In this commercial for her Ra-Ga-Ga Christmas album, you can hear “Lady Gaga” perform several new tracks including “Bad Snowmans,” “Love Sleigh” and “Ho Ho Ho-ker Face.”

Those who pre-order will also get a special Hanukkah offering from “Taylor Swift.”

VIDEO: Michael Bay Helms Victoria’s Secret Spot

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Models, Videos, Women,


I’ve just seen ‘s future—and it involves far less than tank tops and shorts.

In this new spot for Victoria’s Secret, Transformers director Michael Bay asked a bevy of beauties to do far more “insane things” than he’s probably ever asked Fox to do. Play pool while kneeling on the table? (Ouch! Rug burns!) Walk through the desert while wearing black and heels? Stand in front of an explosion with very little protective clothing?

If Megan doesn’t start appreciating her boss soon, I’m sure there are plenty of other women who could easily do her job.

The gloves are off: Verizon iPhone attack commercials go full swing

iPhone Verizon ad

Oh man, you’ve got to love how Verizon Wireless has gotten so bold now that they’ve finally got a killer device in the to brag about. You’ve also got to love how Apple is getting a taste of their own medicine, after running the “I’m a Mac” ads for years now. Verizon is aiming to highlight their phone offerings, as well as their huge 3G network, in their holiday commercials that dump on the iPhone and AT&T. There are three so far, and we must admit, they’re pretty clever. You can watch all three commercials, one of which sees the iPhone banished to the Land of Misfit Toys, after the break.

Taylor Swift, Pete Wentz, Rivers Cuomo, and Travis Barker appear in new Band Hero commercial

Continuing with its string of Risky Business-inspired commercials, Activision’s latest TV spot stars Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, and Blink-182’s Travis Barker. With a quartet like that, how could any marketing exec not feel accomplished at what she does?

Shot last week in Los Angeles by director Brett Ratner, the four musicians rock out to Taylor’s song, “Love Story” (seen after the jump). It’s cute how the guys are slightly dwarfed by Taylor’s model-esque height. The game is out in stores now.

I want to play Band Hero with Rivers Cuomo!
