South Park returns with "Dead Celebrities"

Matt and Trey are my heroes and after watching tonight’s mid-season premiere of “South Park” I’m ready to get a shirt made that says just that.The premiere episode entitled, “Dead Celebrities” focuses on Kyle’s little Canadian brother Ike, who is being haunted by the ghost of television infomercial demigod, Billy Mays and a slew of others. Now that seems like an entire world of possibilities but that was only the tip of the iceberg. This episode was entirely devoted to showcasing EVERY celebrity that died this summer, and because they create the episodes so quickly no one is exempt, not even “Point Break’s” own freshly laid to rest Patrick Swayze or MTV’s DJ. AM. However, it was the ghost of Michael Jackson and his shrill cries of “you’re ignorant” and “tee hees” that made my eyes rain.

With a brilliant subplot tying together ‘mexican food to-go superking’s’ Chipotle and Billy Mays’  newest product “Chipotl-Away“, they took no prisoners. I cried with laughter because I can never believe how unbelievably outrageous Matt and Trey are willing to take things. The pop culture commentary is hit on the nose in ways that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will never be able to replicate. It’s gauche and in poor taste and so perfectly executed. Do yourself a favor and head over to southparkstudios.com and see what you’re missing.

J*DaVey

The new single from J*DaVey called ‘Mama’s Back’ is hot. They up for voting on MTV’s I want my Music

Show some love and vote for them now, so they can continue making some great music! More details on the band below. you can listen more on their myspace page or on their website also the single can be purchased in iTunes

With a diverse array of influences, eclectic twosome J*Davey — female vocalist Jack Davey and producer Brook D’Leau — deliberately evade the narrow categories of what urban music should sound like, not to mention that they defy normal conventions of pop music. Drawing equally from neo-soul, new wave, funk, and hip-hop, their melting pot of electronic soul and dance have made music-goers try to classify them somewhere between neo-soulstress Erykah Badu and new wave punks Talking Heads. D’Leau and Davey established the duo in the summer after their high-school graduation in 1999. Born and raised in L.A., D’Leau, whose taste for new wave and funk greatly characterizes the group’s music, learned to produce tinkering with his father’s studio equipment during high school. Davey moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis, MO, when she was eight. She had her fair share of industry woes with a failed stint in a girl group, but when she met D’Leau, the two had a chemistry that they couldn’t ignore. For several years, the self-proclaimed “black Eurythmics” worked the live circuit around the country, steadily building their reputation and a unique following. They made some substantial strides on the recording side of things, scoring music for television shows CSI: New York and Entourage. However, their recording appearances began to accumulate in the mid-2000s with the most interesting being their cover of Frank Zappa’s “Dirty Love” on Ubiquity Records’ Rewind! 5 compilation in 2006. Early the following year, fresh off their stint performing with Prince, J*Davey signed a major-label deal with Warner Bros. ~ Cyril Cordor, All Music Guide

Twilight cast member endorsements!

Dear Twilight Stars-

I’ve been thinking about you lately (shocking, I know) and I’ve thought about some ways you can parlay this popularity into cash money in your pockets! You’re seen daily with a variety of products and all without an endorsement deal! And it struck me, you guys need to be spokeswhores for your favorite products! Talk about making a little mad money on the side and all for doing what you normally do!

I’m sure you’re skeptical of attaching your name and likeness to any product so I’ve drafted up a couple proofs to show you the possibilities!

Now Wolves, you guys are a little less known that the main characters currently but together as a group you have more star power, so when I saw these pics…

Hot men in UGG-ly boots!

I knew you’d be the perfect spokesmen for UGG boots! Over the last few years the boots have gone from must have to must only wear at home but with you guys sporting them you can boost the demand for not only the women’s line but the mens! And you’re already doing it, all you have to do is walk around on set, flash a little chest, look whimsical and presto, instant spokeswhores!

I vant yo suck yo blood

I just saw these pictures of you in dracula/goth/vampire shiz for some MTV show and thought, wow you would be the perfect spokeswhore for America’s favorite psuedo parent scaring (except Moon Mom) store in the mall.  Goth kids everywhere would weep black smudged tears of relief to see someone who really “gets it.” Cure and Joy Division albums not included.

Follow the cut to see more Twilight spokesperson opportunities
You know how the last few weeks we’ve been talking about how Tweed makes Edward VERY serious? Well after this picture from the movie companion was released I knew the deal was sealed…

seriously...

Edward Cullen (yes, the fictional character) needs to be the official spokesperson for TWEED!!! His people demand it!

keeps all your "herbs" fresh... yea, that's it!

Everyone just thought you were being artsy when you did this shot for Interview magazine, Kristin but little did they know this shoot also could double as your Glad Cling Wrap shoot! You know for keeping all those perishable items fresh…

do you think this is Gil's "O" face?

Fender, if you’ve been wondering what demographic you’ve been missing it’s the illusive TWI MOM demo! These ladies coming to Twicons around the country just might be in the market for a new guitar and Gil’s the perfect man to be your spokeswhore! He’ll tote that thing all over creation as he travels from convention to convention picking up chicks playing his heart out!

So Twilight cast and brands these are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to potential endorsement deals! I hope you’ll think long and hard about which star and which brand would best suit each other. Good luck folks!

Your faithful marketer,
Themoonisdown

PS so what other cast member and brand would make a fab endorsement partnership?

Head over to LTR for some Rob goodness
Discuss it in the forums!
Don’t forget the Imma contest!

*obviously this is all a product of my over active imagination and these folks don’t endorse any of this shiz! Capish?*

Marcelo Adnet nega conversa com a Globo

Apresentador do 15 minutos recusou a proposta da Globo

O comediante da MTV negou estar conversando com a Globo para um poss´pivel contrato. Recentemente a emissora carioca mostrou interesse em coloca-lo no programa Zorra Total. Marcelo ainda criticou o programa: “Se você me perguntar por que o “Zorra Total” está no ar eu não vou saber responder. Eu não gosto. Tenho amigos lá, como atores e roteiristas. Quando eu pergunto, eles me respondem que eu não sou o público alvo”, comenta.

Na entrevista ao jornalista Miguel Arcanjo Prado Adnet mostrou interesse de ficar na MTV por um bom tempo: “A MTV pode não pagar grandes salários, mas nos dá liberdade. Isso amplia a carreira e nos dá outras possibilidades”.

I Want My MTV Back

bye bye bye

There have been millions of articles written about how MTV and VH1 have given up on playing music videos, which isn’t entirely true. If you wake up at the crack of dawn like I did this morning to go to the gym, they show a good chunk of videos for three hours and not all of them are new.  Before I had to leave, they even played Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)!! I was so excited I smiled as I ran up that 8.0 incline (and then promptly suffered a mild case of asthma).

everybody (backstreet’s back)

My enthusiasm for this video got me thinking though–not for the memories of the 90s, but rather for the memories of these videos.  I love everything about the videos cranked out by ‘NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears back in the day.  They were just so ridiculous and fun!  There was a formula to it.  There was a story, usually love was involved in some way with someone, and then they’d dance it out.

And boy, was there dancing.  I would watch these videos just for the choreographed parts and I would get chills each time.  As someone with little to no rhythm, it always boggles my mind how you can get 20 plus people to perform the same complicated moves at the same time to the same beat.  I loved it, and clearly, people still love it.  Some of these videos have over 10 million views on youtube and they aired on TV over 10 years ago.  They had to have done something right.

So, music producers/directors.  Please bring back music videos with choreographed dance numbers.  No, not gyrating hussies on shiny cars–those don’t count.  I want something like Britney in “Drive Me Crazy” or ‘NSYNC in “Bye Bye Bye”.

you drive me crazy

VeMoBunda

Hoje acontece o VMB, VeMoB, VeMoBunda, enfim, deu pra entender que é a premiação da MTV (ou SBT com piercing)…

E como já falamos sobre o assunto, inclusive colocamos publicamente nossos votos, agora só nos resta aguardar os resultados.

Ah, acabamos de lembrar de um dos melhores momentos desse bundalelê da música brasileira: Caetano Veloso no VMB 2004.

Provavelmente nunca ninguém na história da emissora do Sumaré imaginou que justo seu ícone imaculado lhe trataria de forma tão agressiva e — o que é mais lindo — ao vivo!

Mas, voltando aos indicados, quem aí aposta que as coisas/bandas mais óbvias vão ganhar?

Alguém arrisca um palpite? E você Caetano, algo a dizer sobre a emetevê?

Pô, calma aí, também não precisa se exaltar!
