More Funny Super Bowl Ads with Justin Timberlake and Naomi Campbell

Pepsi came up with two terrific Super Bowl ads that are both clever and funny, although recommending the product they are touting in the first ad would be a challenge. The ad is pushing Diet Pepsi Max, which includes ginseng extract and an increased amount of caffeine, all of which is designed to keep you awake.

Basically they are selling uppers, which is not illegal, but is it ethical for Pepsi to advertise that its product gets you slightly high?

But then again, do most of us care? Nah! What the hey! Life is short. Drink Diet Pepsi Max and get high.

Diet Pepsi Max is featured in the first video.



The second video is also a Pepsi commercial and features Justin Timberlake. There are some very funny moments in this one.

I especially like the part where Justin's crotch is repeatedly bashed into the mail box post. Watch.



Naomi Campbell is the star of the third ad, and that alone makes it worth watching. The music is a take off on Michael Jackson's Thriller, which is somewhat of a surprise because Jackson is not exactly a welcome name in many US households lately.

The ad seems to work though, is very entertaining and was one of the higher rated ads aired during the Super Bowl. The cosmetic teeth job on the one lizard is especially good.

Britney Spears Pays Off K-fed, Linsay Lohan Quits Showbiz

Britney Spears will or will not lose her child custody battle on Monday: take your pick. The predictions are all over the map on this one. Australia's Herald Sun newspaper is reporting that a "secret witness" is scheduled to testify on Monday about Ms. Spears' drug use in front of her children.

That type of testimony would surely sway most courts. However, other reports state that Britney and Kevin have already reached an out of court agreement that would allow Britney to retain her current custody rights of 70/30 (Britney gets custody 70% of the time). All she has to do is pay K-fed a mere $2 million to drop the custody case.

Those reports indicate that Kevin has already agreed to the deal although the ink on the contract is barely dry.

The Associated Press is running with the story that K-fed's lawyer has petitioned the court to permanently seal all custody court documents to keep the prying media away from the truth.

My money is on the money aspect of this case. The $2 million settlement is probably the most likely because that is the way it is with the American judicial system.

Anyone who has been to court in the US knows that the party spending the most money usually wins. Keven may see the dollar signs and give it all up for the 2 mil.

What? Me? Cynical? Why would you think that?

The latest on Lindsay Lohan is provided by her father, an admitted alcoholic and drug abuser himself. Michael Lohan, who had been estranged from his daughter, Lindsay, for three years, has now reconciled with Lindsay.

He is reporting that she intends to stay in rehab for another two-three months to be sure that she has the monkey off her back permanently this time.

Michael also says that Lindsay intends to give up show business and her Mercedes for the time being and concentrate on her current hobbies like mucking up horse manure and gardening. The elder Lohan stated that Lindsay wants to move away from the Hollywood types that influenced her into drinking and drugging too much--the type of people who are bad for her.

If Lindsay is still blaming her addictions on her choice of friends, do you really think she is cured? I had heard that an important part of rehab was the willingness to take responsibility for your actions rather than blaming your addiction on others.

But what do I know?

I know that I would have a hard time opting for manure mucking and gardening over a Mercedes. It sounds like ol' Lindsay could really use some extra time in rehab because she still does not seem to be placing the blame for her troubles where the blame really lies--with herself and the choices she makes.

But she can afford to take another 2-3 months off. She earns just a tad above the minimum wage, doesn't she?

Zac Efron to Vanessa Hudgens: I Will Stand By You

Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens’ co-star in “High School Musical 2” and also her real life boyfriend, has promised her his support and is quoted in Life & Style Weekly magazine as telling Vanessa “I’ll stand by you.”

Vanessa has been the object of media and blogosphere derision since a nude photo of her was leaked on the Internet last week. The Disney Channel, which is where HSM 2 has been playing since this summer, has promised that the photo was not a deal killing problem, has dismissed the photo leaking incident as water over the dam and is sticking by Vanessa.

Once the media pounced on the photo leak story, Vanessa fled to Australia to be with Zac, who was there promoting the movie “Hairspray.” Vanessa reportedly “freaked out” about the photos and looked “shell shocked” according to a Melborne, Australia, resident who spotted the couple together.

Read more about Vanessa’s photo leak.

Now the New York Daily News is reporting that additional photos were leaked onto the Internet this week showing Vanessa touching another girl’s breast and kissing a third girl.

Vanessa has been so embarrassed about the photos that she canceled an appearance on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show on Thursday night.

Because both Vanessa and Zac are tween mega stars, the pre-teen set are reportedly even more enamored with the couple because Zac has promised to stand by his girl. How romantic is that?

The real question here is who hates the 18-year-old Vanessa so much that he or she would resort to leaking these photos onto the Internet? There has been little speculation about the source of the photos, but after thorough investigation, the patrons at McCafferty’s Pub have come up with a few possibilities:

Here are the top ten possible sources of the Vanessa Hudgens photo leaks:

10) The George Bush administration. It is rumored that Karl Rove set this plan into action prior to his recent resignation from the White House. The logic is that any news that draws attention away from the Iraq war is worthwhile.

9) Osama Bin Laden. Osama’s faulty logic is that nude photos of movie stars will undermine the world’s devotion to anything Hollywood. Obviously, Bin Laden doesn’t know much about Hollywood.

8) Britney Spears. Britney felt that getting another star into trouble would draw attention away from her foolish behavior.

6 & 7) Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton for the same reasons Britney had.

5) The Disney Channel. The Disney folks supposedly still believe that even bad publicity is good publicity in Hollywood.

4) Vanessa herself. It is possible that Vanessa also believes the any publicity theory.

3) Zac Efron. Zac is looking like a hero because he has promised to stand by his gal. What better reason is there to leak the photos?

2) Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband Frederic Van Anhalt because it is said that Frederic intends to claim that he is Vanessa’s real father. He reportedly wants to come to Vanessa’s rescue, and claiming to be her father will give him the publicity he so desperately seeks.

1) Michael Vick. It is theorized that the suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback has been staging fights between 18-year-old starlets and thought that releasing the photos might help promote his starlet fights.

Michael Jackson and the Troops

Here's the latest on Michael Jackson. Did you hear that he was recently in Japan entertaining the troops. Of course, they were Cub Scout troops.
