Perhaps in an effort to dispel their dowdy look and to get fashion critic Richard Blackwell to lay off dissing the pair, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have signed a deal with designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka to represent the label in an upcoming ad campaign. The ads, photographed by Gilles Bensimon in the Presidential Suite of the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan,, will grace the pages of Vanity Fair, Vogue, Elle and InStyle beginning with April issues. The collection is said to be a bit more colorful then the sister's usually drab outerwear.
Earlier, we reported food-challenged Nicole Richie would be handing out cans of Dr. Pepper on Valentine's Day in New York. Yesterday she did just that and our roving man of all things important, Bucky Turco, got his can of Dr. Pepper from Richie, handed her a "Save Krucoff, Fuck Conde Nast" pin and filmed the whole thing. Take a look at the video over at Gawker and a video of photographers celebu-lusting for a perfect shot.
To celebrate the launch of its PUMA Suede, the company has partnered with Disturbing Tha Peace Records and Blender magazine to host a party this Friday night in Houston at Houston Studios. Co-CEO of Disturbing Tha Peace Records, musician and star of PUMA new commercial Ludacris will get together with former basketball player Walt "Clyde" Frasier to highlight the hot/red and cold/blue versions of the shoe. As part of the evening, Ludacris will give guests a preview of his limited edition PUMA Clydes, which will launch later this summer.
In a perfect tie-in with the movie's likely audience, American Pie wannabe Date Movie is getting comical promotion with Pimp My Profile a site on which visitors can have Tony Cox review one's MySpace profile, receive wise-ass criticism and have Tony give it a makeover worthy of a blinged-out Geocities site complete with a brace-faced Allison Hannigan. Interestingly, it appears you gave have Tony pimp any MySpace users profile simply by entering their MySPace ID. While some of Tony's comments are specific to an individual's profile, it seems, sadly, the end result is the same in all cases. We tried quite a few. We did, however, get a big kick out of the promotion's brazen acknowledgment of the site's tantalizing attraction to stalkers, currently a hot item in the news.

Elizabeth Hurley is said to be the next in the long line of celebrities to appear in the American Dairy Association's Got Milk campaign according to Contact Music. In the ad, Hurley will appear a white T-shirt and bikini bottoms accompanied by copy, "Shocked Im a mom? You should know by now that milks nine essential nutrients make for one irresistible body." AdPunch has a larger image of the ad here.
These new posters shot by Bucky Turco for Diddy/P. Diddy/Sean Combs/Sean John or whatever the hell he calls himself promoting his fragrance "Unforgiveable" are just that. Who exactly aspires to become the multi-chained, tongue-wagging, multi-female bedding man portrayed in this ad. Oh wait. Sorry. Every guy does. Carry on.
Today, with Valentine's Day quickly approaching, Pitney Bowes, along with actress Virginia Madsen and romance writers turned Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central Terminal in New York into Valentine's Day headquarters. Commuters were able to select and write Valentine's Day cards and send them to loved ones. Romance writers provided tips on how to write the perfect Valentine's Day card and those that wanted had the opportunity to send Valentine's Day cards to soldiers serving overseas through a partnership with Anysoldier, Inc.
AdFreak points to a release that announces skin-on-bones celebrity Nicole Ritchie will, on Valentine's Day in New York, hand out flyers for, humorously, Diet Dr. Pepper. While one wonders if Dr. Pepper isn't trying to kill the poor girl surrounding her with all this diet pressure, AdFreak properly asks, in reaction the company's claim there's nothing diet about Diet Dr. Pepper, "If you don't want people thinking diet, why hire a skeleton?"
Perhaps making the most insightful comment about their appearance during the Half Time show, Mick Jagger said, "We could have done Super Bowl One but everything comes to he who waits." They might be old but they are good. And for all you youngsters out there who might think Mick could have sounded better, that's what actual, non-lip synched stadium singing sounded like back in the day. That said, it was not the most stellar of Half Time shows. Maybe Bob Garfield was on to something after all.
Is it just us or are the creative folks behind the Jessica Simpson Pizza Hut ad pulling one over on us? The copy, "These bites are gonna pop right into you" uttered by Simpson as she lears into the eyes of that horned up kid just can't help is feel there's some sort of sexual overtone going on here. Just what bites is she talking about putting into his mouth?
