Brad Pitt (Photo contributed)
I’m all for celebrity privacy, but this story (and corresponding video), where the paparazzi triumphs over Brad Pitt, is just too funny.
Yesterday in LA, Pitt was riding his motorcycle to an important meeting when it broke down. Concerned he was going to be late, Brad accepted a ride from a group of video paparazzo from X17. The pappers drove him to his desired location safely and on time, but throughout the short drive insisted on filming him and attempted to get an exclusive interview.
Hey, can’t blame them for trying, right? I mean, really Brad, what did you expect when you jumped into a car full of Paparazzi? That’s like a papper jumping into a car with Kanye West, Sean Penn and Hugh Grant.
TMZ has the video of it all going down. You know that as soon as Brad stepped in the car, he realized he would have been better off walking and being late. Where was Quween when he needed her?
ABBA to reunite and replace Michael Jackson?
They said it would never happen. ABBA, who has been enjoying a huge resurgence of their music brought on by the success of Mamma Mia!, split up in 1983 and swore they would never get back together. But if AEG Live – the team behind Michael Jackson’s planned 50-night residency at London’s O2 – has their way, we may soon see the Swedish pop sensations together again.
With Jackson’s death, AEG Live faces a multi-million pound black hole if they cannot fill the venue. A source tells the UK’s Sun: “There are millions on the table, but there are many hurdles to overcome.”
Can Money, Money, Money sing loud enough to bring Benny, Bjorn, Agnetha and Anni back together? I Have A Dream that says yes, it can.
So much going on in this Jessica Simpson video
Jessica Simpson was called upon to sing the National Anthem at the AT&T National golf tournament in Bethesda, MD on Wednesday and it was all captured on video by Fox. I guess she got the gig due to boyfriend Tony Romo being a participant in the tourney.
So what’s new with Jessica since we last saw her? First thing that comes to mind: the twins. How can you not miss these? Seems like aunt Dolly Parton was babysitting those puppies, because they’re starting to look a lot like her. And what’s with the singing? She’s utilizing the vocal stylings of a two-bit lounge singer with the facial expressions of Joe Cocker. And is that a baby bump?
It’s Friday, but Jessica is giving us too much to ponder here.
The Microsoft ad that lasted only one day
Microsoft and advertising do not mix. Each failed attempt is an exercise in futility, and even those “I got a PC for less than $1000” ads really don’t work.
Microsoft latest failure was an ad for Internet Explorer 8, which featured former Superman Dean Cain, a wife discovering her husband’s porn-surfing habits, and an overabundance of puke. Yes, lots of projectile vomiting – exactly what viewers want to see in their tech commercials.
The ad has been pulled from the IE8videos channel on YouTube, and has been removed from the BrowsefortheBetter.com site, which is part of the ad campaign.
You’ve gotta check this out. Epic fail.
Another awesome MJ-related Youtube video
Ahhh, Las Vegas. Where public drunkenness is acceptable 24/7. Which doesn’t bode too well for man-on-the-street interviews, when you’re bound to get lots of camera-hogging losers like the drunk guy in this video, who gets bitch-slapped by the TV reporter.
Watch for the reactions from the network anchors when they cut back to the studio. Priceless.
