  • Katy Perry Re-Ignites Romance With John Mayer, Invites Lenny Kravitz to Superbowl Stage

    Katy Perry is having a very good start to 2015.

    Not only are Perry, 30, and John Mayer, 37, officially a couple once again, she also is preparing to wow the world, along with Lenny Kravitz, at this year’s Superbowl halftime show.

    Nearly a year after breaking up, the Firework singer and Mayer stunned A-list stars when they made a dramatic entrance together on Thursday at Hollywood hot spot the Tower Bar, according to Page Six.

    “Katy Perry and John Mayer walked in together, arm in arm, and the whole room literally fell silent,” an insider told the newspaper, which reported that the couple frequented the restaurant on a regular basis when they were previously dating.

    “Even Dimitri Dimitrov — Hollywood’s most famous maitre d’, who has seen everything — and Sunset Tower owner Jeff Klein both stopped mid-sentence when John and Katy arrived, as if they wanted to announce to everyone in Hollywood they are back together,” said the source.

    It was a busy night at the Tower Bar, according to Page Six. Director and producer Lee Daniels was having dinner at a nearby table with Naomi Campbell. At another table were American Sniper director Clint Eastwood, with a table of powerful Hollywood producers. Liz Goldwyn was spotted with Dita Von Teese, and Kid Cudi was dining with Bryan Greenberg and Jamie Chung.

    Meanwhile, on Saturday, Perry announced via Twitter that Kravitz will join Perry on stage during next month’s Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show.

  • Stephen Colbert Is The New Face Of Pistachios

    Comedy Central’s resident satirical republican will make his Superbowl ad debut next Sunday when he stars in Wonderful Pistachio’s new 30 second spot. The ad will kick off a new year-long partnership between Colbert and Wonderful Pistachios, under the campaign slogan “Get Crackin’, America.” Wonderful Pistachios’ in-house creative team will collaborate with Colbert to create several TV spots throughout 2014 that highlight the “Get Crackin’” catch-phrase. The collaboration will also be supported by in-store promotion and social media campaigns throughout the US and Canada.

    “Since I was a child, I’ve dreamed of working with America’s premier nut company,” Colbert said. “The fact that it turns out to be the good folks at Wonderful Pistachios is just the pistachio on top of the ice cream sundae.”

    The famous Pistachio company is excited about what the new partnership can bring to their brand. “Last year’s Super Bowl spot featuring PSY drove significant brand awareness and incredible buzz among consumers,” said Marc Seguin, VP of marketing for Wonderful Pistachios. “This year, we wanted to extend that enthusiasm beyond Super Bowl with talent that resonates with our core consumer target over the full year. Mr. Colbert is the perfect fit for our brand and for this campaign.” In an official press release, Wonderful Pistachios also added that, “utilizing his unique persona and extraordinary platform, Colbert has impacted the cultural discourse in profound ways.”

    Colbert obviously isn’t the only celebrity we’ll see featured in ads during Sunday’s game (which reportedly, Fox charged $4 million for every 30-second ad). This year’s Bud Light ad will star Arnold Schwarzenegger, Don Cheadle, and Reggie Watts. Scarlett Johansson will be the face of SodaStream, David Beckham will be representing H&M, and Full House alums John Stamos, Dave Coulier, and Bob Saget will reunite for a Dannon yogurt commercial.

    You can watch all the celebrity-ad goodness, along with a bit of football between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos, on February 2nd. The big game is taking place at the Metlife stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey; it’s also the first outdoor, cold-weather Super Bowl.

  • Dave Coulier, Stamos and Saget Team Up for Yogurt Ad

    Who says you can’t go home? Certainly not the men of the 1980s sitcom Full House.

    Dave Coulier and former cast members Bob Saget and John Stamos joined forces for a yogurt commercial, to be aired during this year’s Superbowl.

    The trio starred as Uncle Joey (Coulier), Danny Tanner (Saget) and Uncle Jesse (Stamos) in the sit-com that aired from 1987 to 1995. The show also featured Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as Saget’s adorable on-screen daughters.

    The three had a reunion of sorts coming together to promote Dannon Oikos yogurt, which Stamos has been a spokesperson for since 2011.

    In the commercial, viewers see Stamos enjoying a container of the yogurt in his kitchen while watching sports on the television. The camera then pans out a bit, and picks up Saget and Coulier sitting with Stamos, while in their PJs.

    Stamos then says, “What do you say boys? Time to go to bed?” Saget responds with “Don’t you think it’s time we all get our own places?” After Coulier yawns, the three in unison say “Nah.”

    Watch a clip of the commercial for yourself:

    Members of the cast have kept in touch since the show ended 18 years ago, and the three boys are often photographed together. With the exception of the Olson twins, the cast got together in 2012 for an event.

    Although no official word has been given, there could be a Full House reunion in the works. Candace Cameron Bure, who played DJ Tanner in the show, has previously said she would be willing to participate.

    “It’s been thought about for a long time,” said Bure in an interview. “A lot of things would have to work out for that to happen. I keep saying, never say never.”

    Fingers crossed!

  • Erin Andrews Interview With Richard Sherman [Video]

    After the NFC championship game on Sunday night, Erin Andrews, a veteran broadcaster, made her way to Richard Sherman, the Seattle Seahawks cornerback, for an interview. Andrews expected Sherman to be excited, considering they had just won their way to the Super Bowl, however all Sherman could talk, or yell rather, about was the San Francisco 49ers Michael Crabtree.

    “I’m the best corner in the game! When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that’s the result you’re going to get,” Sherman said, obviously upset. Andrews made the effort to calm Sherman down by asking him, “Who was talking about you?” However, despite her efforts, Sherman remained upset and continued his rant about Crabtree. “Crabtree. Don’t you ever talk about me. Don’t you open your mouth about the best, or I’ll shut it for you real quick,” he yelled at the camera.

    Andrews didn’t appear to get intimidate by Sherman’s behavior, and later took to Twitter to talk about the interview. “Richard Sherman gave a candid response seconds after an emotional game..looking forward to a great Super Bowl matchup,” she tweeted.

    Many other Twitter users took to their accounts to react to Sherman’s interview, including Sherman. “A lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of a sheep,” he tweeted, and then later added: “There was a lot of talk before the game…. Now I’m the bad guy lol…. Well if u judge my character on the field ….So many glass houses.”

  • NFL Playoff Schedule Set and Ready to Go

    NFL Playoff Schedule Set and Ready to Go

    It’s down to the final four teams in the NFL. Two squads will earn the right to represent their respective divisions at Superbowl XLVIII on February 2nd in New Jersey. No one is surprised that the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks are the last teams standing. All four have dominated in their division and each have strong quarterbacks with solid head coaches.

    Let’s take a look at the matchups for next Sunday.

    AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME:
    New England Patriots @ Denver Broncos
    Kick off: 3 pm
    Opening Vegas Line: Denver -4.5

    Here we go again, another Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning matchup. No doubt that the rivalry has become one of the best in all of sports. The two quarterbacks have squared off a total of 15 times in the regular and post season. This will be the third time that they have faced off in an AFC Championship Game. They each have one win.

    It’s been nine yeas since Brady won his third Super Bowl ring. He doesn’t have the key receivers he’s had in the past but Terrific Tom usually seems to find a way to make due. In the last Manning/Brady Bowl in November of this year, Brady pulled off a Houdini Act for the ages when he erased a 24 point half-time deficit over the Broncos in New England. Meanwhile, Manning has not played in a Super Bowl since 2007 when his Colts beat the Bears 29-17.

    NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME:
    San Francisco 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks
    Kickoff: 6:30 pm
    Opening Vegas Line: Seattle -3.5

    Two heated division rivals will go head to head on Sunday evening. San Francisco will have to find a way to score points against one of the best defenses in the league and the dreaded “12th man.” No doubt that Seattle holds one of the best homefield advantages in all of sports. The Seahawks only had one loss at home this year against the Arizona Cardinals, so the 49ers will certainly study that game to see how an average Cardinal team was able to come away with a victory.

    If Seattle wins, it will only be the second time in their franchise history that they’ve gone to the Superbowl. They lost in 2005 to the Steelers. The 49ers, on the other hand, will look for a return trip to the big game after losing a heart breaker to the Baltimore Ravens last year.

  • Denver Broncos – Are They Super Bowl Bound?

    Denver Broncos – Are They Super Bowl Bound?

    The big AFC playoff game is coming up, Sunday, between the Denver Broncos and The San Diego Chargers. Although the Broncos lead the AFC, with much better stats and standings (Broncos 13-3 – Chargers 10-7), the Charger’s have proved to be a challenge to the Broncos.

    The Broncos though, start out as a 9 point favorite but that isn’t saying much.

    Their previous match ups with the Chargers have been unpredictable to say the least. The two AFC West teams are split, with the Broncos taking the first game in San Diego by a score of 28-20 and the Chargers winning the second game, 27-20.

    It’s anybody’s game on Sunday, but lets not forget the game is being played at Denver’s Mile High Stadium. The Bronco’s are known for winning at home even though the last meeting at Mile High with the Chargers proved that theory wrong. But between the crowd noise and the altitude, it makes sense that they are favored to win this game, and to move onto their next challenge which will be just a couple of games away from the big game…Superbowl 2014.

    Manning and the Denver Broncos are predicted to make it all the way to the Super Bowl in February. If you’re a gambler, best to put your money on them.

    If you ask Don Banks of Sports Illustrated – they think so too.

    The Broncos will be heavy favorites in all four of their remaining games: Tennessee (5-7), San Diego (5-7), at Houston (2-10) and at Oakland (4-8). If there’s a surprise loss lurking in there somewhere, I don’t see it. The Titans and Chargers basically eliminated themselves from AFC wild-card contention with Week 13 losses, while the Texans just find a new way to lose every week.
