| Adele to join in Hollywood's Golden Globe party Posted: 09 Jan 2013 08:26 PM PST LOS ANGELES: Pop star Adele is set to attend the Golden Globes ceremony in Beverly Hills on Sunday in what will be her first public appearance since giving birth to a boy in October. Golden Globe organizers said the 24-year-old British singer would be attending as a nominee, rather than a performer. Her "Skyfall" theme song for the latest James Bond movie is in the running for best original song at the Golden Globes - one of Hollywood's biggest awards shows. The "Someone Like You" singer gave birth to her first child in October with her partner, Simon Konecki, but has since kept out of the public eye. She performed and co-wrote the theme song for "Skyfall," a US$1bil box office hit, while her Grammy-winning heartbreak album "21" scored the rare feat in December of topping all US album sales for a second straight year. Adele will find herself mingling with some of Hollywood's biggest movie and TV stars on January 13, including Golden Globe presenters George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez and Meryl Streep, and nominees such as Jon Hamm, Ben Affleck, Daniel Day-Lewis, Helen Mirren, Leonardo DiCaprio, Anne Hathaway and Kevin Costner. - Reuters |
| Psy goes nuts for pistachios in Super Bowl ad Posted: 09 Jan 2013 05:30 PM PST LOS ANGELES: South Korean rapper Psy is going nuts. Not content with starring in the most-watched video in YouTube history, the man behind viral hit "Gangnam Style" is to appear in a Super Bowl commercial for... pistachios. "The Wonderful Pistachios brand is fun, just like me," Psy said Wednesday by way of a press release from Paramount Farms, which owns the upmarket California snack label. "Also, I love pistachios and I look good in green." It will be Wonderful Pistachios' first spot ever during the Super Bowl, the annual American football classic, set for February 3 this year, that is also the most coveted showcase for commercials on US television. Psy made Internet history shortly before Christmas when "Gangnam Style" - featuring his signature horse-riding dance - clocked more than one billion views on YouTube. CBS television has been selling Super Bowl advertising at record prices this year, with 30 seconds going for more than $4 million dollars, USA Today reported Wednesday, quoting network executives. Last month, Wonderful Pistachios featured Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao in its ongoing "Get Crackin'" series of commercials and sponsored his Las Vegas bout with Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez.-AFP |
