The infamous Good Girl Gone Bad has been swooped up by Circuit City to star in its new back to school campaign.

Rihanna signed a deal with the electronics retail chain to be the face and sound of new ads that will begin running next week, reports Billboard.com. Commercials will include her latest single “Disturbia” along with clips from the music video, while her image will be featured in online ads for the Richmond Va.-based company.

In addition, a mobile offering, available on circuitcity.com, will let users download a free voice tone of the singer and exclusive wallpaper images. Rihanna will also participate in an online chat on Aug. 20.

“This time tends to be a stressful time for parents. The idea of leveraging technology to stay in touch with friends and family while away at school is in line with how Rihanna does things on her tours.”

-Troy Yenser, category marketing manager, Circuit City.

Well, that would be nice, wouldn’t it? I’m afraid I can’t arrange for you to actually shower with Brad Pitt (and besides, Angelina Jolie might not appreciate that!). But you can help him while you’re in the shower.

Brad is teaming up with Kiehl’s for their new Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser. Not only is the cleanser good for the environment, something that’s important to Brad, what with all the eco-friendly details of the homes he’s having built in New Orleans. Aside from that, proceeds from the sales of the $16 product will benefit the JPF Eco Systems Charity - a foundation that was created by Brad and Kiehl’s for the sake of global environmental initiatives.

We won’t be seeing any steamy photos of Brad Pitt in the shower, unfortunately. He has no plans to endorse the product with his face (or anything else) in commercials, but the bottle does feature a handwritten note from Brad on the label. Almost good enough for me!

Will you try the product out?

Here’s the official Kohl’s promo video for their new Fall 2008 Fashion Line, which includes Avril Lavigne’s clothing line, Abbey Dawn! Now we know that one of your fellow fans reported back yesterday that Avril wasn’t being very nice about letting her fans take pictures, so we’ll be keeping an eye out for anything that does pop up around these parts about Avril’s in-store appearance at Kohl’s yesterday to launch Abbey Dawn. In the meantime, here’s the video, featuring Avril, Lenny Kravitz, Vanessa Carlton, & more!

It seems there are celeb fragrances everywhere now, but once upon a time, Jennifer Lopez was the first to make it really big with her own perfume. One source says all those celebrity scents “started with the launch of Glow by J.Lo in 2002, which sold $78 million before 2003.”

Now it seems like everybody and their mother have scents. Even so, J-Lo’s “Glow” is still one of the best selling fragrances around. Jen worked on everything from the scent to the packaging. (And yes, that curved bottle is inspired by her amazing bod.) The J-Lo Beauty site recently made a clip honoring the five year anniversary of Glow.

Here’s a behind the scenes look at the original J-Lo Glow Commercial:

And here’s an added benefit, you can get a free sample of Jen’s Deseo by filling out the form here. I did it (and the fragrance smells great, btw.)

Here is the newest commercial for Sharpie starring David Beckham. In this one, he realizes how awesome Sharpies are and even goes as far as to fight with a little girl over one. It’s pretty cute.

This video is a cute behind the scene look at the Sharpie commercial. David tries to balance a Sharpie on the back of his neck and he chats with the girl from the commerical above.

The commercial is supposed to hit American airwaves mid-July.

Hot on the heels of California’s gay marriage bonanza, England has hopped on the bandwagon with this weird commercial for mayonnaise, or, gayonnaise:

Best Foods would never have the balls for that!

PS - Can someone explain this commercial to us?? Also, we’d like to just say “gayonnaise” one more time. That was fun.

Below is a video clip of a commercial Hayden Panettiere did when she was just a tiny little thing. I can’t tell who’s cuter…Hayden, or the grandma who wants the cookies. Either way, it’s a cute commercial, and it’s awesome to see Hayden’s reaction to it at the bottom of the screen while you watch. Enjoy!

Academy accolade winning director Woody Allen filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan seeking $10 Million from American Apparel for use of his image without permission. The lawsuit states that the actor and director does not endorse commercial products or services in the United States.

Allen’s image (shown at right courtesy of Frillr.com), appeared on two billboards in New York and Los Angeles for one week in May 2007. Allen appears as a Hasidic Jew, a character from his movie “Annie Hall”. The lawsuit calls the billboards “especially egregious and damaging.”

In a statement, American Apparel defended their use of Allen’s image as “Social Parody” protected by the First Amendment. They also stated “We had no intention of selling garments through the use of Mr. Allen’s image … We will make every effort to resolve this with Mr. Allen in an amicable way.”

In addition to its clothing line, American Apparel, based in Los Angeles is known for its colorful CEO Dov Charney and its political efforts in favor of immigration reform.

Was this “Social Parody”, infringement or just an effort to generate publicity? While we may never know for sure, I predict it will go away quietly with a monetary settlement.

I love this Destiny’s Child song and this video for “Girl” has a complete Sex and the City vibe.  With that movie being released this past weekend, it made me think of this.  Beyoncé’s Dreamgirls co-star, Jennifer Hudson, is in the Sex movie.  Did anyone see it???

The only drawback to this song is Michelle Williams‘ singing.  I don’t mind her usually but her voice just did not go well with these chords.  Did anyone else get a “hair commercial” vibe from this, by the way?  Every time I see Beyoncé sitting at the table, I think L’Oréal, lol.

The Ting Tings are looking a strong bet to debut at number one on the artist albums chart this coming weekend, but are facing a close battle with Rihanna to retain their singles crown.

The Manchester duo’s Columbia album debut We Started Nothing is presently around 50% ahead of its closest rival, fellow Columbia signing Neil Diamond’s Home Before Dark, which became the veteran star’s first studio album number one last Sunday.

However, on the singles chart The Ting Tings’ That’s Not My Name, which entered at number one last week, is under threat from Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna with Take A Bow, which previously debuted at number two and is now only a few hundred sales off the top spot.

Two other albums look poised for Top 10 debuts in this Sunday’s chart, both Universal Classics releases: Beth Rowley’s Little Dreamer and the Cistercian Monks’ Chant – Music For Paradise.

Mick Hucknall’s first album outside Simply Red, the Simplyred.com-issued Tribute To Bobby Bland, which comprises his interpretations of Bobby Bland songs, is heading for a Top 20 debut, while Neil Diamond is looking likely to have two albums in the 20 with the MCA-issued The Best Of set to make a steep climb from its current position of 194.

Other new entries are expected this Sunday from Sparks, Foxboro Hot Tubs, the Osmonds,Thea Gilmore and Scarlett Johansson, while John Williams’ soundtrack to the new Indiana Jones movie is also poised to debut.

Against three expected new entries in the Top 10 of the albums chart, the upper places in the singles chart are looking fairly static with early sales indications suggesting only one release will move into the Top 10: A&M/Polydor’s Duffy with Warwick Avenue.

Lower down, the Top 40 could welcome brand new entries to the chart from Kristen, Fratellis and The Zutons, while Snap’s 1992 chart-topper Rhythm Is A Dancer is looking likely to return to the 40 following its use in a TV commercial for Drench spring water.
