By ELIZABETH OLSON, New York Times
- THERE are certain Bruce Willis signatures — the bald head, the self-deprecating humor and the cockiness — and he brings them all to a new campaign for Sobieski vodka. Mr. Willis serves as the brand’s celebrity spokesman, and he owns a small percentage of the Polish vodka maker’s parent company.
In a series of “Bruce Has Ideas” commercials, which began appearing online this week, he makes it clear he has a stake in the company. At the same time, he pokes fun at himself, saying, in one ad, “No, I’m not just an action hero with rugged good looks and some |

Kim Kardashian Nude in Un-Retouched Photo: See, It's Me! |

Celebrity Health & Fitness
- Kim Kardashian, who has been the subject of dozens of photoshopped pictorials, is the latest celebrity to bare all in an un-retouched nude photo to show what she’s really like. And it ain’t bad.
Kardashian, 29, took her clothes off for the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
As a side note, it’s interesting how many mainstream magazines are resorting to nudity, however tasteful, to sell magazines in the tough economy, which has been particularly hard on the media industry.
Kardashian is comfortable in front of cameras without her clothes. She launched her career in 2007 by leaking a raunchy X-rated sex tape |

7 Reasons Why "American Idol" Needs Paula Abdul |
Newsweek - USA
- American Idol without Paula Abdul is like Christmas without presents, summer without sunshine, Three's Company without Suzanne Somers. Simon Cowell might be the mastermind at the judges' table, but Paula is the show's No. 1 star. When she's at her best—the cleavage, the tears, the dancing—who cares about any of the contestants on stage? When she's at her worst—the slurring, the crazy talk, the bickering with Simon—she's even better.
But it looks like Paula's job might be on the line. In an interview Sunday with the Los Angeles Times, her manager David Sonenberg said: "Very sadly, it does not appear she's | Read More |

Big laughs: Ralphie May gets a new life after 'Last Comic' fame |

In addition from his socio-economic move -- from a four-plex at Crenshaw and Adams in Los Angeles to a house in the Hollywood Hills -- May also obtained the financial stability to tend to his health. He's still a big guy, but he's not the morbidly obese funny man that Americans fell for.

Chris Brown, Rihanna and the image problem |
Los Angeles Times - CA,USA
- Until someone dialed 911 on Feb. 8 to report a disturbance in Hancock Park, the pop star Rihanna and her R&B-singer boyfriend, Chris Brown, enjoyed relatively wholesome reputations. Attractive and talented, the couple were known as sexy but not oversexed, fun-loving but not reckless. The two seemed unlikely to be involved in anything more shocking than an all-night dance party.
That image opened the door to a host of commercial endorsements. Brown appeared in ads for Doublemint gum and milk while Rihanna hawked more than a dozen products, including Nike sportswear, Totes umbrellas, Venus razors and Fuze beverages.
