Product placement at its finest

December 7, 2006 /

They have a product. Her need for that product couldn’t possibly be more apparent. And so, behind the scenes, a lucrative deal was clearly struck between a lingerie company and a fallen pop idol.

The result? This quote from Britney Spears, apologizing for frightening small children with her recent, omnipresent crotch shots, and implying (though not promising) that it won’t happen again:

“Every move I make at this point has been magnified more than I expected, and I probably did take my new found freedom a little too far. Anyway, thank God for Victoria’s Secrets’ new underwear line! I look forward to a new year, new music and a new me.”

Subtle, isn’t it? That’s how good product placement works: they slip that brand name right in there nice and casual-like, in a context that makes sense…so that no one in the audience takes the time to stop and wonder why Britney Spears is mentioning a major consumer retailer in her public pronouncements just in time for the holidays.

Tori Spelling, mender of fences

December 5, 2006 /

Since the only item in her father’s estate left to Tori Spelling was apparently “the shaft,” the former Donna Martin is on the lookout for new revenue streams. She’s already got a reality show lined up with the Oxygen Network, and now she’s working on a memoir:

Among the topics she plans to cover in the book are plastic surgery (“I basically want to lay it out in my terms”), past relationships (“I want to clear up that I was never in a physically abusive relationship, but verbal abuse is just as detrimental”), and her treatment in her father’s last will and testament.

Tori indicated that she hopes the book doesn’t cause more damage within her already fractured family…and then went on to say that she had not yet actually discussed the book with her relatives. In other words, she planned to let them find out about it via the press.

Yep, that’s always a smart strategy for resolving tension among family members: talk to them through the media rather than in person or on the phone. Seems to be working out just fine for Jon Voight and his daughter.

Informed of Tori’s plan to publish what will undoubtedly be a tremendously unflattering tell-all, her estranged mother Candy replied, “Tori can write?”

Billboard Music Awards: Now with fewer bimbos!

December 3, 2006 /

Both Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have canceled their scheduled appearances at Monday night’s Billboard Music Awards, according to multiple reports. Though the nightclub-hopping duo were originally scheduled to co-host the event, those plans were changed when Britney abruptly pulled out of her commitment without giving a reason. A few days later, Paris changed her mind as well:

The hotel heiress canceled an appearance at next week’s Billboard Music Awards because she didn’t like the jokes written for her, according to a spokesman.

“It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers,” her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said in a statement. “Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows.”

Uh, yeah. Because when I think Paris Hilton, I think “classy, considerate dame who has no interest in mocking, snubbing, or otherwise seeking to humiliate her peers.” She is instead much more interested in performing every known sex act — as well as several newly invented ones — with her peers’ boyfriends, relatives, and family pets.

Leo: “Diamonds bad. Mommy good.”

November 29, 2006 /

In a recent interview promoting his new film, “Blood Diamond,” which highlights the troubles caused by the mining of “conflict diamonds” in Africa, Leonardo DiCaprio said he feels differently about buying diamonds after making the film, and that his mother is the only person for whom he would ever buy a diamond.

Upon hearing Leo’s comment, his girlfriend (Victoria’s Secret model Bar Rafaeli) was heard to say, “Awww, that’s so sweet. I’m outta here.”

Borat make romance explosion in Pamela Anderson marriage

November 28, 2006 /

Shocking friends, relatives, and celebrity gawkers alike, white trash soulmates Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock have filed for divorce. Though the pair seemed a match made in heaven — what with their mutual interests in rock music, monosyllabic words, and Pamela’s breasts — their union turned rocky as a result of Pam’s recent appearance in comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat” movie.

According to the New York Post, Kid (real name: Bob Richie) blew up at Pam during a private screening of the film at a studio exec’s home. Rather than having a sense of humor about the movie, Richie took exception to his wife’s appearance in it —particularly during the scene involving a certain well-known sex tape:

Her friend tells Page Six, “Bob started screaming at Pam, saying she had humiliated herself and telling her, ‘You’re nothing but a whore! You’re a slut! How could you do that movie?’ – in front of everyone. It was very embarrassing.

Ironically, by capturing the buxom blonde in his wedding sack, Borat seems to have set her free. Anderson’s statements regarding the breakup mention her soon-to-be-ex-husband’s “male insecurity and major anger issues,” and a friend mentions that “Pam is just very happy to not be in the same house with so much passive-aggressive hostility in it.”

In response to the news of Pamela’s imminent split, Borat is reportedly outfitting a cage for his intended with a built-in swing and stripper pole, so she’ll feel right at home.
