good evening! i've talked about this issue before - adopting pets rather than purchasing them! there are so many animals (literally on the brink of death) in shelters that need a good and loving home - it's insane to think people would still go to the shop and buy a (pricey) pet rather than rescue! super cutie kellan lutz (of twilight fame but he was also on the comeback with my darling valerie cherish - sadly canceled before her time) is the latest celebrity (along with his rescue dog kola) to join forces with the folks from PETA for a new campaign - helping to urge everyone to adopt! just a few weeks ago the city of west hollywood passed an ordinance banning the sale of cats and dogs in pet stores - i seriously hope other cities will consider doing the same thing! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
Each year, more than 7 million dogs and cats are left at animal shelters in the U.S.--and nearly half of those must be euthanized because of a lack of good homes. Kellan explains, "It's our job to take [animals] under our wing and take care of them and give them a place to live."
Animals sold in pet shops often come from "puppy mills," where they are housed in cramped, filthy, and unhealthy conditions and lack proper veterinary care. And in light of the current animal overpopulation crisis, it's clear that there's no such thing as a responsible breeder. Kellan tells PETA, "Kola is my best friend." If you're thinking about bringing an animal into your home, be sure always to adopt and never to buy. SOURCE
good evening! a few months ago i posted london fog's ad campaign starring pregnant supermodel gisele bündchen - and now the brand has two new faces for their upcoming holiday campaign - married couple eva longoria and hottie basketball player tony parker (this is their first fashion shoot together) both of 'em look incredibly sexy ... they certainly do make an amazing looking couple! plus they're not too annoying - i like eva - she's great on desperate housewives as 'gabby'! the ads are below along with some shots & video of the photo shoot! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
hey hey! here's the latest got milk? ad featuring jordin sparks - i'm still loving her latest album battlefield - when she won the sixth season of american idol (cutie blake lewis was the runner-up) i didn't see ms. sparks getting very far within the music industry but she's definitely proved me wrong ... she's a force to be reckoned with plus she looks totally fabulous these days! (yet i'm sure a little photoshop was involved in the ad below) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

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

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
good evening! i just got back in from seeing dog sees god which was really great - i can't recommend it enough - it's playing here in los angeles down at the hudson theatre and featured andrea bowen from 'desperate housewives' and the hilariouschristine lakin (who had to deal w/ starring alongside paris hilton in 'the hottie and the nottie') many thanks to my pal willam belli for taking me - it was fun to see him and catch up (if you're a nip/tuck fan he played 'cherry peck' - when the show was actually good...)
anyways right now i've got some gorgeous new shots of the always unpredictable and sassy sharon stone who has signed on to represent damiani - the famous italian jewelry house which makes stunning pieces - with diamonds - no one can resist diamonds (hey joey!) the new ads were unveiled last night at the company's launch party - celebrating the opening of their first los angeles boutique located on fancy shmancy rodeo drive - many thanks to my pals at the reel ross group for sending me the new shots (inspired by eve & amelia earhart and today's 'modern woman') of ms. stone rocking those shiny luxurious diamonds! popbytes over & out for tonight - xxoo (thankfully i can sleep in a little tomorrow!)
hey kids! of course i'm anxiously awaiting (like many of you) the release of the sure-fire summer blockbuster smash hit the dark knight (releasing july 18th) the follow-up film to 2005's batman begins and reunites incredibly talented director christopher nolan (i was so freakin' obsessed with memento back in the day) and super hottie christian bale who dons the bat suit once again - last time kat(i)e holmes played love interest 'rachel dawes' and since she's all off busy being (programmed) mrs. tom cruise - her part was passed off this time around to maggie gyllenhaal (who i do generally like but sometimes she's a bit boring...) although it's going to be a drop odd & disturbing to see heath ledger up on the big screen again playing 'the joker' - his untimely passing was such a damn shame - it's still hard to believe he's really gone! the film's promotion has been kicking for quite some time now and it's just going to grow exponentially as the july release date draws near - case in point - the latest body by milk ad is featuring mr. bale as batman rockin' a milk moustache! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
others reload. batman refuels. research suggests that milk's unique mix of nutrients can help athletes recover after exercise. and its protein can help build muscle. so train hard and drink lowfat or fat free milk, because the batmobile isn't the only thing that needs to refuel.
good evening! i've got two new commercials for macy's featuring mariah carey (hawking her fragranceM which of course is on sale at macy's), martha stewart (plates), donald trump (arch nemesis of martha and now a tie guy), carlos santana (shoes) and mega hottie gabriel aubry (for calvin klein) who is halle berry's baby daddy and oh my word he's so damn fine - she totally scored with him plus she's not so bad herself - little nahla ariela aubry is going to be gorgeous unless she has the same bad luck as rumer willis (although she isn't as awful as everyone makes her out to be - i give her credit for trying plus she's young still) as for ms. carey she's still gearing up for her new album E=MC2 out on april 15th (tax day!) today her single touch my body was released on itunes - although i've calmed down a bit over it - i still think it's a great track! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo! (and yes i'm looking forward to brand new episodes of the hills which kick off tonight - another total guilty pleasure!)
good morning! here's model kate moss posing as the new face of yves saint laurent - she was selected by stefano pilati - creative director of YSL to represent the new spring/summer line! at age 34 (we share the same birthday - january 16th...yes capricorns rule!) ms. moss shows no signs of slowing down - and why should she - she still looks great! thank heavens she finally ditched her one time josie grossie crackhead boyfriend pete doherty - and is now dating jamie hince (guitarist for the kills) in september it will be three years since her now infamous cocaine scandal - at first i thought it would kill her career but actually the opposite happened! hopefully ms. moss learned her lesson - to be more careful with who she does drugs in front of - i'm sure she still dabbles in good times! although after her 34th birthday celebration (with rumors of a drug fueled orgy taking place which she sued a tabloid over and won a retraction along with damages) she asked her mom lindato move in with her - to help her provide some stability for kate's daughter lila grace (who turns 6 in september) so maybe ms. moss has put her partying & messy ways behind her finally! besides the pictures below - there's a short video 'mainfesto' tied into the new YSL campaign! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
hey hey! there's a new got milk? advert out - this one with rihanna - who seems to be just about everywhere these days - i just posted aboutH&M's fashion against AIDS campaign - also featuring rihanna! she's so darn adorable - and i'm still digging on her album good girl gone bad which has spawned a number of hits...right now don't stop the music is climbing its way to the top - it's such a hot track! below is the new ad along with a video featuring ms. fenty talking about the importance of eating healthy, exercising - and of course drinking milk! (i'm still not a big fan of milk - i do enjoy it chocolate style though!) popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
Drink it in. Pop star? Not exactly. Milk is more my move. Some studies suggest that teens who choose milk instead of sugary drinks tend to be leaner and the protein helps build muscle. So shut up and drink.
hey hey! i hope everyone is enjoying their weekend - i picked up an awesome leather bag at diesel today - which i've had my eye on for a while - plus it was 50% off! i also got in some more time with assassin's creed which i'm totally addicted to at the moment! (i've assassinated 4 of the 9 main targets!) anyways yesterday there were more photos released in support of disney's year of a million dreams - you might remember when the campaign first started with david beckham, beyonce, and scarlett johannson...now they've added jennifer lopez and her hubby marc anthony, whoopi goldberg, jessica biel, gisele bündchen, mikhail baryshnikov, and last but never least tina fey (as tinkerbell!) the photos were snapped by legendary photographer annie leibowitz again - the pictures (posted below) came out looking simply splendid & magical - the shoots must have been a ton of fun for all involved! i'll check you all tomorrow - popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
good evening! i just got in from an awesome & intimate showcase performance here in hollywood featuring idina menzel (the tony award-winning actress from wicked) ms. menzel (who is married to hottie taye diggs) has an album coming out at the end of the month called i stand - and damn - girlfriend can really sing - she kicked ass! i had a swell time and i'll be posting some videos & pictures very soon...
right now i've got legendary actress glenn close starring in the latest ad from the whole got milk? campaign! when i first saw the ad - i was like oh my gosh - who poisoned glenn?!? she looks dead - i'm usually a fan of the mustached ads but this one simply doesn't work at all! (you must agree with me?) people should be vibrant, upbeat and alive after drinking cow juice...certainly not passed out cold - maybe somebody slipped something in her milk! (her character patty hughes on damages could certainly be a candidate for foul play!) of course you win some - you lose some and this ad is for sure on the losing side - the next celebrity up at bat needs to have their eyes open! (i'm sure this composition wasn't her idea!) popbytes over & out for tonight - tomorrow is friday - woo hoo - xxoo!
look close. to perform my best, i need to give my body the attention it deserves. that's why i eat right, exercise and drink milk. studies suggest the nutrients in 3 glasses of lowfat or fat free milk a day can help you maintain a healthy weight. and the protein helps build muscle for a lean body. you'll see.
