Mr. Chow Reps Adidas

For the new Adidas shoe campaign, actor Ken Jeong partnered up with athletes Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose to promote their new signature shoes in this hysterical commercial/ music video

Dwight Howard sings and plays the piano in the commercial while Ken Jeong, or “Slim Chin” as he refers to himself in the video, dances and raps. Their song is called “Fast Don’t Lie” because the individuals lucky enough to wear the shoe become that much faster. This humorous video not only  showcases Howard’s Beast shoe and Rose’s adiZero Rose shoe, but how personable and funny Rose and Howard really are.

The Social Network, See It To Believe It

With the release of the movie The Social Network, the networking site Facebook jumps off of the computer screen and onto the big screen. The Social Network debuted with much fanfare, as the entertainment giant sought to make a buck off the latest social networking craze.

In The Social Network, Director David Fincher walks a fine line between villainizing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg (played by Jesse Eisenberg) and conveying the history of Facebook accurately. I’m sure they wouldn’t want to have to deal with Facebook in the courtroom. Even so, I heard Facebook has spurned the movie and CEO Zuckerburg refuses to see it.

Could portraying Zuckerburg as a villain have any negative effect on the social-networking giant’s popularity? Doubtful, very doubtful.

Galifianakis Protests A Protest

Did he really get Mel fired?

Actor Zach Galifianakis stopped by the “Today Show” to promote his upcoming comedy Due Date directed by Todd Phillips. He was then asked about his other comedy in the works with Phillips, The Hangover 2. It has been alleged that Galifianakis had a role in the firing of Mel Gibson from making a cameo appearance in the new sequel.

Galifianakis said in a radio interview recently that he “was in a deep protest” about a movie he was working on. Everyone assumed that it was The Hangover 2, and then news of Gibson being fired surfaced. Galifianakis denied any involvement in the casting of his films and shifted the topic to another Gibson - Debbie Gibson.
It has been rumored that with Gibson’s departure, Liam Neeson has stepped in to play a tattoo artist in the film.
