good evening! just before i settle into a new episode of gossip girl - i'm bringing you some gorgeous photos of actress penelope cruz in her new ad campaign for mango's spring 2009 collection - she's so damn stunning & beautiful plus she's super lucky to have escaped the clutches of tom cruise and scientology - and she's got a hot man - her boyfriend & fellow actor javier bardem! i need to catch their film vicky christina barcelona coming soon on DVD (january 27th) which just picked up the golden globe for best comedy or musical - i usually adore director woody allen's films (especially my favorite flick of all-time annie hall) right now she's working on the stage to screen adaptation of the musical nine (directed by rob marshall) i'm very curious to see how that works out! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
hey hey! fergie has been in the news lately because she finally got married to mega hottie josh duhamel - they seem to be a pretty stable couple but let's see how long their hollywood marriage will last! i'm looking forward to hearing some new tracks from her - either solo or with black eyed peas - but right now she's helping to promote mac cosmetics and their viva glam series - of course the ad below is photoshopped to the nines but it came out great! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
Fabulous Fergie struts solo into the VIVA GLAM fold with her Special Edition Lipglass. Our newest Viva Diva, with a voice that bridges cultures, genres, and styles, embodies what it means to be modern now. That's VIVA GLAM VI...Special Edition. In 1994, M·A·C first launched VIVA GLAM, an outspoken deep red that was universal in its appeal and its glamour. In 1997, a second lipstick was created, VIVA GLAM II, a lightly pinked mauve. VIVA GLAM III, a foxy brown plum lipstick was launched in 2000. VIVA GLAM IV, a heartfelt rose charged with gold, was introduced in March 2002. In March 2004, VIVA GLAM V was launched in both a Lipstick and Lipglass - to a tremendous response around the world which has continued to this day, thanks to the dynamic efforts and dedication of all the VIVA GLAM V spokespeople. In September 2006, VIVA GLAM VI Lipstick made its debut, a warm terracotta-plum with pearl finish. This is coordinated with VIVA GLAM VI Lipglass, a warm, shimmering, multi-dimensional plum that is imbued with pearl. Created to be worn over its namesake lipstick. In the spirit of all VIVA GLAM, every cent raised goes to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support the fight against HIV/AIDS. MORE INFO
BONUS PICS FERGIE CELEBRATING NEW YEAR'S EVE! (LAS VEGAS, 12/31/08)
good evening! i suppose if there's any credit card company that actually produces warm & fuzzy feelings - it would have to be american express (even during the recession) just the other day i caught a semi-new one-minute commercial featuring four celebrity cardmembers: musician dave matthews (i'm not a fan at all), producer brian grazer, actress gwyneth paltrow, and legend tina turner (who just turned 69 back in november) i'm very curious about how much they all got paid (i'd imagine tina probably got more than anyone and she should - i freakin' love ms. turner!) i'm sure these types of endorsements don't come cheap - i almost wanted to get myself an AMEX card which i used to have - but sadly my credit is in the toilet and has been for years...oh good times...it's probably better that way - i'm not so great when it comes to dealing with financial things - i totally glaze over - so i doubt i'll be getting one anytime soon! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
BONUS PICS TINA TURNER PEFORMING IN NEW YORK CITY (12/1/08)
hey hey! i guess i never noticed before but adidas has never run any commercials here in the states but that's all about to change - the german company is celebrating sixty years of making kick-ass athletic wear and shoes - and came up with a new campaign in honor of their anniversary called 'house party' - featuring folks from music such as estelle, katy perry and missy elliott - along with sporty types like hottie david beckham and kevin garnett! check out some of the images from the campaign below along with the sixty-second television spot which you should start to see air very soon! i hope everyone is having an excellent evening - i just hit the grocery to get stuff for the big thanksgiving feast tomorrow - thankfully it wasn't too crowded! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
It's Adidas' 60th anniversary and the brand is having a party -- on TV at least -- and the guest of honor is Adidas Originals. The German athletic apparel giant is giving its lifestyle brand, Originals, its first U.S. TV advertising ever: A 30-second spot featuring music stars like Katy Perry, DMC (of Run-DMC) and Method Man cavorting with sports phenoms David Beckham and Kevin Garnett.
hey hey! the posters recently went up at NYC's gerald schoenfeld theatre - touting the revival of arthur miller's award-winning 1947 play all my sons starring katie holmes, cutie patrick wilson, dianne wiest, and john lithgow which goes into previews on september 18th! when i was in high school 'all my sons' was one of the plays 'the players' put on (i always did backstage stuff) and i must say the material is excellent - i'd be curious to see the new production (directed by simon mcburney) just because of all the press surrounding ms. holmes (stepford wife of tom cruise) she's certainly not a broadway box office draw on her talent alone (however i'd LOVE to see ms. wiest live on stage - she's incredible - along with mr. lithgow of course)
katie (or shall we call her kate?) is currently rehearsing daily and has been spotted all over new york city with daughter suri cruise in tow (pictures from tonight are posted below) who is seriously so damn adorable - those pictures of suri playing with her dolly are simply precious (yet her parents need to get her off the bottle...) i wonder how long all my sons will run and more importantly - what are the theater critics going to say about katie's broadway debut?!? (i have a sinking feeling she won't be doing anymore broadway after this...) popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo
as timely today as the day it was written, the play 'all my sons' was inspired by a true story about a successful businessman who knowingly sold the government defective airplane parts during world war II. a middle-class couple, joe and kate keller, have lost their older son in the war, but kate cannot give up believing that he is still alive. chris, their surviving son, falls in love with his brother's fiancee ann and brings her home to tell them of their new relationship and their plans to marry. in the confrontations that follow, cracks begin to appear in everyone' stories, lies are exposed, and a secret is revealed that could destroy them all...
hey hey! PETA released a brand new advertisement in support of spaying/neutering cats & dogs (sometimes too much sex can be a bad thing...) the animal loving organization scored retired porn actress jenna jameson once again to strip down for the cause! (she was also in PETA's pleather campaign) word broke earlier this week that she's probably pregnant with professional fighter boyfriend tito ortiz's baby - congratulations to the happy couple (pictured below on the red carpet this past june) jenna will definitely make a very interesting & colorful mother - at least she's not doing porn anymore! (remember when she was scary skinny? thankfully ms. jameson is looking better and is apparently healthy) popbytes over & out for now - xxoo
"until dogs and cats can go on the pill or wear condoms, we need to help them practice safe sex--by spaying and neutering," says jenna. "millions of homeless animals are turned in to shelters every year because there simply aren't enough good homes for them all. the answer is as easy as abc: animal birth control, which means get your fido or fluffy fixed!"
good morning! here's one of my favorite up & coming singers ms. duffy (who i've had a thing for ever since i first heard her hit single mercy) girlfriend just landed her first advertising campaign here in the states for nivea skincare & beauty products - her first spread will appear in the fashion rocks magazine supplement going out with 16 publications including vanity fair, glamour, and vogue plus she'll be performing at the fashion rocks '08 show taping on september 5th over in NYC (other performers include justin timberlake, beyonce, and mariah carey - the show will air on september 9th on CBS) she's totally gorgeous and supremely talented - just yesterday duffy's new video dropped for her next single stepping stone - one of the best tracks off her debut album rockferry - watch it for yourself below! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
good evening! here's legendary drag queen (and blogger!) lady bunny (a sassy staple on the NYC scene) unveiling a brand new billboard in manhattan's soho neighborhood (very close to my old apartment on grand & thompson) featuring her bad self and PETA - both saying no to kentucky fried chicken (along with pamela anderson) which i haven't personally ate in years and i highly doubt i'll be going there anytime soon...that nasty dead chicken hanging out of colonel sanders' bucket is a complete turn-off (read more about KFC's policy of cruelty) i do love fried chicken but certainly not at the expense of cruelty towards animals - i swear i could become a vegetarian if it wasn't for bacon - hands down the best thing to ever come off a pig! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
hey hey! i swear this new ad for paris hilton's hair extension line dream catchers (that appears to be targeted to hookers & strippers) has got to be the worst ad i've ever seen (i think it actually beat's beyonce's awful 'house of dereon' ad that i posted last year - it's so funny if you search 'house of dereon' on google - popbytes comes right up at the top - i love it!) everything about this ad is just terrible - ms. hilton looks cheaper than usual - the fonts - the colors - the copy - the whole thing is awful along with the actual name of the line - dream catchers - ugh! (who would buy this crap?!?) the people responsible for the making of this ad (design & copy) should all be ashamed of themselves! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
hey hey! today is one of those busy days - i just got back from my good pal mary's wedding which went off without a hitch - she looked beautiful - i wish mary and her new hubby estill the best of luck! now i've got a few hours to chill out before heading down to see george michael who just kicked off his US tour a few days ago in san diego - i've been a huge fan for years - i can't wait to finally hear some of his classics sung live! anyways below is a brand new advertising campaign called just ask the locals helping to inform tourists of some of the best things to do in new york city (check out nycvisit.com) and features a bunch of a famous NYC faces including jimmy fallon, debbie harry, ivanka trump, julianne moore, and p. diddy to name just a few - you'll find a bunch of the adverts below - gosh the ads all make me miss living in the big apple a lot - hands down the best city in the world! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
