The AI Davids Do “Risky Business”

I kinda loved these commercials that aired tonight of both David Cook and David Archuleta from American Idol doing an homage to Risky Business–even though it’s an ad for Guitar Hero.
Which one is your fave?
The Creed-ish guyliner David:

or the singing Monchhichi:

Newsflash: Albert Hammond Jr. Watches “Gossip Girl”

Dear Albert hearts him some “Gossip Girl.”

The shocking (?) truth revealed in the New York Magazine cover story on the stars of the hit CW series:
“Did I tell you I met Albert Hammond Jr. the other night?” he [British actor Ed Westwick, aka "Chuck Bass"] asked Leighton one afternoon at the Rose Bar, when she [...]

OMG: Best American Idol Episode Ever

THEATER GEEK’S DREAM:

Crazy Supermodel Sighting of the Day

Just saw Ty Ty (aka Tyra Banks) with a ton of makeup on, Farrah hair, wearing a tan trenchcoat along w/ ANTM winner, Jaslene as well as two other model-y chicks wearing “MODEL CITIZEN” t-shirts w/ Tyra show logos on the back in Union Square.

David Cook: Goodbye Emover!

So I’ve sorta been watching American Idol every week, and I basically hate all the contestants except David Cook, who I lovingly refer to as “the Creed guy” because he totally sings like one of those dudes in some “rock” band from Canada or who loves Jesus. I missed this week but was pleased to [...]

Stellastarr* Gets Coco for Jezebel James

When you watch ads for the new Fox television show starring Parker Posey, “The Return of Jezebel James“, you might recognize one of the tunes playing–”Coco” by New York band Stellastarr*.

Apparently the character that “Six Feet Under” star Lauren Ambrose plays is Parker Posey’s (Sarah) sister–a wacky, carefree spirit named “Coco”–so the marketing department went [...]

Artwork Fit for a Serial Killer?

Tonight on the way home from dinner I walked by the Merge Gallery, which was having an opening reception for their newest show. As I strolled by the window, I got a glimpse of the artwork–and stopped dead in my tracks.
The show was called “New Blood” and the artwork was made of blood.
The pieces instantly [...]

Old Navy Commercial Makes My Brain Hurt, In February

Ok, so has anyone been going absolutely OUT OF THEIR MINDS since Old Navy started airing those ridiculously ANNOYING ads for their spring fashions? You know, the one that has some winsome-sounding girl singing about how her “arms get cold, in February”?

These commercials are so cloying that I end up screaming at them the [...]
