I would have to say my favorite commercial was Google Parisian Love where they managed to show off their powerful search engine in a simple, yet effective way.
Newton’s law of commercials states that for every great commercial there is an equally horrible commercial. And the Super Bowl had it’s fair share of bad, dumb or just plain “What the?” commercials, too. I’d have to say that some of the Doritos commercials, Boost Mobile shuffle, Jack in the Box, and all of the Go Daddy commercials top my list. Although, I can’t blame Doritos directly since the commercials were part of their Crash The Super Bowl promotion.
Jay Leno snagged mostly negative reviews with his entry into prime time as he stuck to familiar ground — just 90 minutes earlier.
Monday’s premiere of “The Jay Leno Show,” which transports the longtime “Tonight Show” host to 10 p.m. EDT weekdays on NBC, was slammed as a “cut-rate, snooze-inducing, rehashed bore” by Robert Bianco of USA Today. And that was even with the presence of Leno’s much-buzzed-about guest Kanye West.
Patrick Swayze, who went from Broadway dancer to Hollywood star in box-office hits like “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost,” died on Monday, he was 57.
Swayze, whose spokesman announced in March 2008 that the actor had pancreatic cancer, died at home with his family at his side, ABC News reported, citing his spokeswoman Annett Wolf.
Eminem told Rap Radar that he was, indeed, in on the MTV Movie Awards stunt, which had Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno character drop from the sky and into his lap. “Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards,” Eminem tells RR. “I’m a big fan of his work, so I agreed to get involved with the gag….After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about three hours. Especially after I saw it on air.”
Rap Radar later asks Eminem, “If it wasn’t planned the way you agreed to, do you hold MTV or Sacha responsible and will you take any kind of action?” To which Em replies, “I’m thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going ‘nuts,’ so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it.”
