Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

AGUA DE KEFIR

We had a tumultuous 3 day photo and film shoot (commercials? Instagram?) at my house today for a tasty new product, Agua de Kefir (available at Trader Joe’s) described as “cultured hydration.” Lots of tall gorgeous models of both sexes clad in colorful retro but skimpy pool attire – hotpants and halter tops. They were Continue reading “AGUA DE KEFIR”

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

As more and more accusers come out against Sean Diddy Combs, we are hearing that Jennifer Lopez has now lawyered up as she’s anticipating getting dragged into the legal proceedings. Jennifer has been told to expect a subpoena and she’s quietly retained an attorney who specializes in these matters. We also heard Diddy is terrified Continue reading “HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW”

DUNKIN’ DONUTS MOURNS THE SPLIT OF BEN AND JEN

Casualties are common in divorces and Jennifer Lopez’s split from Ben Affleck is no different. Although Jen and Ben have vowed to keep it friendly specifically for the sake of their kids (who have formed bonds) the unexpected victim in this divorce is Dunkin Donuts! Ben and Jen’s 2024 Super Bowl commercial for the donut Continue reading “DUNKIN’ DONUTS MOURNS THE SPLIT OF BEN AND JEN”

FRIENDS CAST IS COMMITTED TO UBER

  Here’s an interesting gossip update.  Back in November we told you that the cast of Friends were secretly uniting for a Super Bowl ad, but the idea got scrapped after the unexpected passing of Matthew Perry.   The ad agency still liked the idea of a reunion commercial, but felt it would be too sad Continue reading “FRIENDS CAST IS COMMITTED TO UBER”

TAYLOR SWIFT: TWICE AS VALUABLE AS TRAVIS KELCE?

What a difference a year makes. Taylor Swift starred in a cute but hardly memorable 2023 Super Bowl commercial for Capital One, but now she’s being wooed to film ANOTHER Super Bowl commercial and this time she could shatter records for her salary. Taylor‘s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star player Travis Kelce has been appearing Continue reading “TAYLOR SWIFT: TWICE AS VALUABLE AS TRAVIS KELCE?”

LIFETIME COMPANIONS: BEN AFFLECK AND DUNKIN DONUTS

We have to give credit to the Dunkin Donuts company for hiring their most loyal – and probably most famous – fan, Ben Affleck, to appear in ads . They are even cleverly recreating familiar paparazzi shots through the years of Ben enjoying their coffee and donuts. After he and his wife Jennifer Garner split, Continue reading “LIFETIME COMPANIONS: BEN AFFLECK AND DUNKIN DONUTS”

JON HAMM IS NO SNOB WHEN IT COMES TO COMMERCIALS

The first time we saw Jon Hamm in a Progressive Insurance commercial with Flo, we were taken aback for a minute. The Mad Men star (and now Top Gun costar) seemed like TOO BIG a celebrity to appear in those odd little ads. Turned out he’s in a whole series of the ads and he’s Continue reading “JON HAMM IS NO SNOB WHEN IT COMES TO COMMERCIALS”

THE MOST ANNOYING AD ON TV

HGTV’s popular twins Jonathan and Drew Scott, along with Melissa McCarthy, are currently appearing in the most hated ad on TV (for Chase banks) and it seems to be running constantly. In the commercial, Melissa is seen walking around a house, loudly smashing decorative objects on the floor while the twins watch. Viewers (including me) Continue reading “THE MOST ANNOYING AD ON TV”

WHAT DO HALSEY AND PARIS JACKSON HAVE IN COMMON?

Rain or shine, Halsey is more than ready to make a few bucks selling earbuds to her fans. To be specific, she’s in New York filming a commercial for Powerbeats Pro from Beats by Dre – they retail for around $250. We still are fascinated by the fact that Halsey considers herself to be black Continue reading “WHAT DO HALSEY AND PARIS JACKSON HAVE IN COMMON?”

COMMERCIAL OR WORK OF ART?

We are STUNNED every time we see this brilliant commercial for Lacoste sportswear. It’s magnificence makes Dior ads look like chopped liver. Edith Piaf sings while a young couple argue and split apart and eventually reunite with an intensity and passion beyond words. How wonderful to see special effects used for something beautiful instead of Continue reading “COMMERCIAL OR WORK OF ART?”
