Q&A With Cast

Super Bowl 2011 Commercials

Congrats to the Green Bay Packers for their Super Bowl win. Now here are the commercials that made me smile or gave me a good giggle during the game. What was your favorite ad this year?



First is the commercial for the Pepsi Max called Love Hurts.




Kim Kardashian's commercial for Skechers Shape-up sneakers.




Ozzy Osbourne and Justin Bieber in their commercial for Best Buy.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday

This year Super Bowl XLV will be played in Dallas, TX. The Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers face off tonight at 6:30pm ET on FOX.

I'll be watching for the commercials. What will be the commercial that everyone will be talking about this year? Will it be Justin Bieber for Best Buy or Kim Kardashian for Skechers...I can't wait to see.


Remember this commercial from last year:
Snickers Super Bowl Commercial 2010 with Betty White

The Women:
Brandy - Singer/Actor (Ray J's Sister...never thought I would be saying that)

Bristol Palin - Daughter of Sarah Palin & Teen Mother (Yes...that's makes her a star)
Florence Henderson - Actor (It's Mrs. Brady from The Brady Bunch)

LeBron Goes To Miami - Don't Hate The Player

NBA MVP LeBron James announced his decision to play in Miami on ESPN last night. He will join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat. The money from all the advertising (and it was a lot of commercials) went to the Boys & Girls Club and scholarships for his non-profit. That was a great thing.

Now all the backlash has started. People are burning jerseys in the streets and one of the owners of the CAVS posted a ridicules letter on the teams website about James being a trader. If the CAVS really wanted him to stay...they should have stepped up and gave him what he needed to get him to stay. Or judging from that letter maybe there was too much bitchassness in the front office making it hard from him to stay. If they were really LeBron fans they would be happy for him. I think to many people got caught up with all the hype around the announcement. I hope LeBron gets that ring! Don't hate the PLAYER...Hate the GAME!!

World Cup-Write The Future

This is my favorite commercial from the 2010 World Cup. Of course, it's a Nike commercial. The clip below is the long version of the Write The Future spot.

Love it when Wayne Rooney from England gets all the babies named after him (1:35 mark). For a min I wondered if they were all his kids. Too Funny! I also like the part with Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal and Homer Simpson (2:20 mark)...then he gets a statue in your honor.

Death During Olympic Training

The 2010 Winter Olympics start tonight but there has already been a tragedy.

A luger from the nation of Georgia fatally crashed during a practice run in Vancouver. Nodar Kumaritashvili was 21 years old.

Cutiest Sports Moment Ever!!

This is such a great clip from a Phillies baseball game. A dad catches a foul ball but his little girl throws the ball back. The look in his face is priceless. Of course, the person below them that got the ball didn't return it (dumb move). They did get another ball from the team after the game.

This is one of those moments that PR people love and ad people try to create. If I worked for the Phillies...I would have the dad and the little girl throwing out the opening pitch to one of the home games and give them some great seats.

Asia Nitollano (Pussycat Doll) Dancing Back To The Knicks

Asia Nitollano, winner of The Pussycat Dolls Presents: The Search For The Next Doll, is dancing her way back to the NY Knicks. Asia is one of the 30 semifinalists for the 2009-2010 Knicks City Dancers. Shane Sparks from America's Best Dance Crew and So You Think You Can Dance was one of the judges.

Asia needs your help...Make sure your favorite KCD Top 30 finalist is still in the game after training camp - cast your Knicks City Dancers Immunity Vote now! This isn't the first time Asia has danced for the New York NBA team. She was on the squad before getting selected for the reality show.

She was my pick to win the Pussycat Dolls reality show. I really wanted to see her perform with the group. When it came out that she wasn't joining the Dolls, many of us were upset and confused. Asia was the one that decided to turn down the opportunity to join the Pussycat Dolls in order to pursue a solo career. She signed a record deal with The Inc. (Irv Gotti's record label). I was introduced to Asia a couple years ago thru PR guru Marvet Britto at the BET Awards. She was a very sweet person. I hope things work out with her singing career. Please support Asia by voting!!

Dancers Show Off For Shane Sparks

Shane Sparks from “America’s Best Dance Crew” and “So You Think You Can Dance” judged the Knicks City Dancer auditions last weekend.

He showed the 68 Knicks City Dancer semi-finalists a hip-hop routine. Those dancers were cut down to 30 and will move on to KCD Training Camp (July 7-9).

At the end of camp, 17 dancers and 5 finalists will be selected for an online vote to win the 18th spot on the team, which will be unveiled at the July 10 Team Announcement Event at The Hill.

Check out the clip below to see what Shane had to say about the talented ladies. He looked like he was enjoying himself. Shane...When are you going to hook me up with a dance lesson?

The Quest For G with the JabbaWockeez

You know we love the JabbaWockeez and it is so good to see them doing their thing on such a large scale. In case you haven't seen the Mission G commercial, you need to check it out in the clip below.




The next clip is of the JabbaWockeez, Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade and Kevin Durant at NBA All Star Weekend. Be sure to check out www.missiong.com for more videos and to find out what the "G" is all about.

Top 3 Super Bowl XLIII Commercials

Here are my favorite commercials from the 2009 Super Bowl. I think it's interesting that 2 of my top 3 were ones for getting a new job. What were your favorite commercials?

Cash4Gold.com: Ed McMahon trades in his gold hip and MC Hammer his gold records and pants for cash.

At first I was like...they are wrong for taking advantage of Ed McMahon but when I saw MC Hammer it was funny. I was waiting for Gary Coleman to pop up.



Careerbuilders.com: It's time to find a new job.

After last years commercials, I wasn't sure they would top it but I really enjoyed this one. I felt really connected to the women screaming in the car and the guy crying at the bus stop.



Monster.com: Which end of the moose do you have? Need a new job?

I thought Monster did a great job with his one. It was simple and to the point. I know which end of the moose I usually have. (Hint: It's not the good end)

The High Heel-A-Thon

Yesterday was the Live with Regis and Kelly High Heel-A-Thon in Central Park. The winner was Chioma Aduba from Queens, NY. Chioma took home a check for $25,000 and a very large golden slipper trophy. She works in the marketing department at Sports Illustrated and gave Kelly her very own SI cover. Nice touch!! She should get a raise after this free publicity!

Today, Chioma had another race but with Mark Consuelos. This time in sneakers. She lost the race but Mark gave her his golden stool trophy anyway. Check out the highlights from yesterdays High Heel-A-Thon.
