New ‘Island Fantasy’ Fragrance Promo Features An Old Photo Of Britney Spears

Recyclney
Posted by: Trent on March 13, 2013| 2 Comments

In early February we learned that our dear Britney Spears is readying the release of a new fragrance called Island Fantasy. Today, we get our first look at a new promo image for the perfume … but, as pointed out by Breathe Heavy, the photo is just an old promo photo that is being recycled for use AGAIN. Previously, this promo image of Britney was used in campaign photos for Britney‘s Cosmic Radiance and Fantasy Twist fragrances. It would appear that Britney really loves the photo (or she just really hates posing for new photos) because it’s being used again for Island Fantasy. More »

Watch: Taylor Swift Talks To ‘Entertainment Tonight’ On The Set Of Her Diet Coke Commercial

Pop Star

Behind the Scenes

Diet Coke has selected a new star to be the celebrity spokesperson for their brand of pop and wouldn’t you know it, they selected Country popstar Taylor Swift. Taylor sat down to chat with Entertainment Tonight on the set of her upcoming Diet Coke commercial and while she doesn’t talk much about the commercial itself, she does mention her collab with Diet Coke at the end of the interview. I have to say, I enjoy this side of Taylor rather than the catty side that just never works for her. Check out the video above to see some behind the scenes shots from the commercial shoot. I suspect we’ll be seeing the full commercial shortly.

Beyoncé Goes Blonde For Pepsi

Having More Fun?
Posted by: Trent on March 4, 2013| 7 Comments

Last month we got to see a batch of Beyoncé promo photos from her ad campaign for Pepsi Cola and, as you may recall, those photos gave us a bit of pop art realness. Today, we get to see new images of Beyoncé promoting Pepsi and this time around, homegirl is lookin’ like a bleach blonde bombshell. As you may recall, we learned last year that Bey is being paid a reported $50 million to endorse Pepsi this year … and clearly, part of that $50 mil. went to the acquisition of a new wig. Check out the promo images below. More »

... it would appear
Posted by: Trent on March 3, 2013| 1 Comment
A Tiny Taste

Back in January we learned that Daft Punk is planning the release of a new album reportedly due out this Spring … last night, the band seemingly confirmed the imminent release of a new album with a short promo video that aired during last night’s broadcast of Saturday Night Live. During the commercial breaks, a 20 second clip of new Daft Punk music aired two different times last night … which, it would appear, is a tease of what’s to come. Click above to watch the video embedded above and get your first taste of new Daft Punk music.

Watch: Audrey Hepburn Returns From The Dead To Sell Chocolate

Dead Celebs Don't Stay Dead for Long
Posted by: Trent on February 28, 2013| 6 Comments
Audrey Lives ... for Chocolate

Famed actress Audrey Hepburn, who passed away in 1993, is “alive” and well in digitally resurrected form for a new TV commercial for Galaxy Chocolate. The late icon’s estate (headed by her sons, I believe) licensed her image to be used in the new ad campaign that has been causing a bit of a stir this week. Some maintain that it is sacrilege to use the deceased in this manner to sell products, others maintain that it’s no big deal. I, personally, don’t know how I feel about this ad campaign in particular. While I don’t see a thing wrong with advertising in this manner, I think someone as beloved as Audrey Hepburn shouldn’t be lowered to shilling for candy bars. That said, I’m amazed by the ad agency’s ability to digitally bring Hepburn back from the dead for this new ad … it reminds me of Hologram Tupac, in that respect.

Check out the ad above and see what you think. Is this commercial something that appeals to you, grosses you our or neither?

DRAGON ALERT!
Posted by: Trent on February 26, 2013| 2 Comments

Over the weekend we got to see the first full length trailer for the forthcoming third season of Game of Thrones on HBO and today we get to see a very cool new newspaper ad for the show. HBO ran a 2-page ad for Game of Thrones season 3 in yesterday’s issue of The New York Times and, as you can see below, a dragon is the main attraction. Every once in a while, a clever ad campaign comes along that really stands apart from the banal crowd … this GoT ad is one of those clever surprises. Check it out below. More »

Watch: Sofia Coppola Directs Natalie Portman In A New Miss Dior Fragrance Ad

Featuring Nash Edgerton
Posted by: Shannon on February 23, 2013| 2 Comments
'Je Vois La Vie En Rose'

Yesterday we got to see the new Miss Dior ads featuring Jennifer Lawrence, and they were absolutely gorgeous. But Natalie Portman is also a Miss Dior girl, and I’ve always loved her work for the fragrance line. Critically-acclaimed director Sophia Coppola (The Virgin Suicides, Lost In Translation) teams up with Portman in a sweet new ad, and since I never get tired of these campaigns– and I love me some Coppola– I was psyched to see this one. Grace Jones‘s cover of La Vie En Rose plays in the background as Natalie frolicks about with Nash Edgerton. Peep the video for more!
