The Whole Truth Behind Jessica Stam's "Positive Influence" on Mary-Kate Olsen
The Whole Truth Behind Jessica Stam's "Positive Influence" on Mary-Kate Olsen July 9, 2008 2:39 pm >> So . . . about that Fox News story that's circulating.  It purports that Jessica Stam is "inspiring Mary-Kate Olsen to ban booze and get healthy" and elaborates with a nice little anecdote about how the two pals spent the Fourth of July together at a "private grill-out at the Estate in Sag Harbor," where Mary-Kate drank no alcohol and "stuck totally to Snapple Antioxidant water, which is believed to be another positive influence that the health-conscious Stam has had on her famous friend."  Funny thing is, Fox News forgot to mention one little detail. That barbeque at the Estate in Sag Harbor?  It was sponsored by Snapple Antioxidant.  Maybe Stam is a healthy influence in her friends' lives, but I call PR plant on this story.  *image: source

Gisele Scores Big with Brazilian Volkswagen Ads July 9, 2008 12:24 pm >> Gisele Bundchen is no stranger to TV spots — she's got plenty of Victoria's Secret commercials and an Apple commercial under her belt, to name a few.  Her latest set?  Brazilian Volkswagen ads that aired in her home country for the first time on Sunday.  She stars along with Sylvester Stallone, and pretty much plays the girl you would expect her to; For her time, she rolled in $2.5 million big ones, while Sylvester only got $800,000 — maybe it's because he wasn't so good at lip-syncing Portuguese.
