GIL TV

We’ve all seen the wonderful Gilbert Arenas ‘Impossible is Nothing’ commercial, and for me, it never gets old. Now, as the Wizards babe gets ready to debut his new Gil II Zero shoe Friday against the Warriors, adidas will launch GilTV.com. The Web site will host various vignettes featuring Gilbert Arenas as some of his of well-known personas: Agent Zero, Black President, Cuba and Hibachi. And if you want the shoes, they will be visible on the site only on the days that Arenas wears them on court. Beware though, if you have trouble making decisions, these shoes may not be for you- they will be 20 variations of the Gil II Zero. (adidas). For more on Agent Zero, check out his blog and you’ll understand why it’s difficult not to love Arenas.

WARRIORS BEARD

Speaking of the Warriors, I found this photo of Baron Davis and his family. Obviously his grandma, mother, sisters and nieces or nephews…either way, I want that baby in the red-hat and was hoping I could get the Beard to make a ferocious donation. Note to B-Diddy- thanks to the other magnificent beards in the world, I’ve been schooled on how to properly groom a beard. Because once again, the good peeps at Fear the Beard are killing me with their blog.

CADDY FOR A CURE
The Caddy for a Cure season will kick off at the FBR Open in Phoenix on January 29th and 30th, where some of the world’s top ranked players in skill and “fan-appeal” will partake. Expect to see our usual hotties: Aaron are-you-kidding-me Baddeley, Adam Scott, and Camilo Villegas among others.

Caddy For A Cure was created by PGA TOUR caddie Russ Holden to raise money for the families and children afflicted by Fanconi anemia, and since its inception, the program has donated nearly $100,000 to charities, including donations to the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund. It’s a great program, where fans get to bid on the opportunity to caddy for a hottie. Check out all the details at PGA news.

GILLETTE HOME MOVIES

Gillette is starting to roll out a new holiday-themed spot featuring Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Thierry Henry. The ad begins with grainy footage of each athlete as a child opening a present, followed by actual youth highlight clips. In the voiceover, Woods describes how some gifts bring out the best in people. The ad ends with all three holding the Gillette Fusion razor. “Home Movies” begins airing this week in France, Portugal, Belgium and Holland. It will start airing in the U.S. on Monday, and roll out in Spain, Canada and other Latin American markets in the weeks that follow. While Federer and Henry combined fluently speak at least three languages other than English, actors will do the voiceovers in all non-English versions. The best snub of this campaign? The ad will not air in Federer’s native Switzerland. Ha-ha.

RED BULL EXPERIMENT
This New Year’s Eve at the Rio in Las Vegas, the Red Bull Experiment will take place. Two babes from the world of motor sports, Robbie Maddison and Rhys Millen, will be performing two insane feats. One Experiment will take place at the stroke of midnight on the East Coast, and the second will take place when the clock strikes “12″ on the West Coast.

Maddison, a freestyle motocross ‘star’ from Australia, will attempt to jump the length of a football field (more than 300 feet) to set a new motorcycle distance jumping world record. Millen, a champion drifter and movie stunt driver hailing from New Zealand, will attempt the first-ever back flip of an off-road racing truck. “I have ridden dirt bikes for over 20 years - this is what I do!” said Maddison. “All the success and injuries over the years have molded me into someone who wants to achieve the biggest feat on a motorcycle ever.” Peeps from the Guinness Book of World Records will there to validate each jump. “In my extreme world of motor sports and stunts, pushing the limits is a way of life,” added Millen. “Being the first to back flip a truck ramp to ramp is the ultimate high.” Tickets for the public to witness the Red Bull Experiment can be purchased for $12, starting on Monday, December 3, at http://www.newyearnolimits.com and at the Rio Box Office.

LADAINIAN & MAMA T WEIGH IN FOR CHUNKY

On Tuesday, LaDainian Tomlinson and his mama weighed-in for Campbell’s Chunky Soup in an effort to tackle hunger in San Diego. LaDainian and his mama sat on an oversized scale and the reigning NFL MVP/ Chunky soup spokesman and his mama weighed enough for 456 cans of Campbell’s Chunky soup to be donated to the San Diego Food Bank. And for that, LT and mama T earn a mighty-mighty-good-family nod.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Ya wonder why I don’t like Eva Longoria? This was just sent to me via email…
While picking up Koo Koo Roo mashed potatoes today I witnessed a fine example of Los Angeles kindness. A woman who short-changed the parking attending by only giving him half of the required two dollars to leave the lot, yelled at him. (This was happening while she was trying to navigate her SUV and talk on the cell phone): Attendant: “You only gave me a dollar?” Shrew: “Jesus! It’s Thanksgiving. Be nice. FUCK!” And she drove off. Yes. I swear it was… I kid you not…Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria.

As always, thanks for reading.
