Sarah Jessica Parker (aka Carrie Bradshaw) leaves "The City" and walks her Manolo Blahniks into a Gap just in time for the store's latest TV ad campaign named, "How Do You Wear It?" Appearing alongside rocker Lenny Kravitz, Parker's image multiplies several times in new outfits dancing to Kravitz's song "Lady," off his new album "Baptism."
In the TV ad for Chevrolet's Corvette named "A Boy's Dream," we see an imaginary depiction of underage drivers taking their cars for a high-speed, high-flying fantasy ride. The ad, directed by Mr. Madonna (aka Guy Ritchie), was pulled by GM after airing for only one week following complaints from several safety groups. The Rolling Stones tune "Jumpin' Jack Flash" was featured during the short-lived ad.
The popular, and controversial, Rockstar Games title Grand Theft Auto is ready for their next release -- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The latest installment, not due for release until October 19, is jam packed with a soundtrack full of 90s tunes from artists such as Salt'n'Pepa, Radiohead and Nirvana. The trailer (available for viewing at the official game site) is backed by the moans found in the song "Jungle Fever" by Chakachas, which can also be found on the BOOGIE NIGHTS Soundtrack.
The WB Network joins forces with retailer K-Mart in a cross promotion TV campaign. Stars from the WB model K-Mart fashions in two TV commercials just in time to promote their network's Fall line-up. In the TV spot named "Route 66," stars from 7th HEAVEN and REBA show off the discount store's exclusive Route 66 clothing line to the song "That Great Love Sound" by the Raveonettes. Cast members from the new show THE MOUNTAIN are featured in the ad named "Thalia," named after the clothing line by Mexican entertainer Thalia Sodi, and are depicted going out for the night in a limo. That ad features the song "Super Bad Girl" by Iffy.
A guy selects a video game over his girlfriend. The cliched scenario is depicted in the new commercial for EA Sport's Madden NFL 2005. After spending a romantic day together, the guy puts the girl into a taxi and sends her on her way in favor of staring at the poster for the latest release of the popular video game. The TV ad for the video game (available on all three platforms: PlayStation 2, XBox and GameCube) uses the song "Question" by Old 97's.
The game, available August 12, will boast a soundtrack full of tracks from artists like Green Day, Franz Ferdinand, Hoobastank and New Found Glory. Green Day packs the fate of their new single "American Idiot" in the video game by having it appear exclusively before the album is even released. Other exclusive tracks include Jazze Pha's "Da Heavy Hittas" and Will.I.Am's (of The Black Eyed Peas) song "Go!"
Heavy Metal musician Alice Cooper is advertising school supplies? In a new "back to school" TV campaign for Staples, the shock rocker is shown shopping with his "daughter." (Ad available for viewing at AliceCoopersWeb.com.) The young girl, who is obviously distraught over the imminent return to school, comments that she thought "school's out forever." Cooper reminds her of his popular anthem's lyrics (which plays over the ad), "No, no, no. The song goes School's Outfor summer." (Despite the fact that the song does mention "forever.")
