Tom Cruise


Tom Cruise arrives at the Ed Sullivan Theater to film the CelebriGum Super Bowl commercial, which will air during the second quarter of the game on February 5th.  

I paid NBC $3.5 million for the 30 second spot, plus about a million more to hire Tom and shoot the commercial.  It now occurs to me that this may have been a terrible idea, since CelebriGum doesn't sell anything.

Oh well.  Live and learn.

COMPLETELY SERIOUS P.S.: During halftime of the Super Bowl, I will reveal the answer to the question that has been asked ever since the dawn of CelebriGum: who chewed the gum? I thought it would be a mystery forever, but new information recently came to light, and it checks out.  Watch this space.

    2. Had to Google "humint." For a second, I thought maybe it was a flavor like "pep-o-mint" or "wint-o-green."

    3. I thought it was a Soylent Green after dinner mint.

    1. Special lenses that cost thousands of dollars. More ill-conceived CelebriGum spending.

  5. Las Vegas bookies are betting that Sarah Palin will be joining Dave, Oprah, and Jay Leno in this year's CBS super bowl commercial. Is there anyone else the LS has pissed off since the last CBS super bowl commercial? I need to place my own bet.

  6. I'd like to see Dave somehow bring back Johnny Carson. That would be a good commercial.

  7. This is simply not true. This is of course an impossible explanation, because astronomically a Solar eclipse can never take place at or around Passover. Passover always occurs around the time of a full moon as it is the 14th day of the lunar month Nissan/Aviv, or fourteen days after the New Moon.

    [jump] The show started off smoothly, with Raw Villa affiliate Shioneas hosting everything. Opener Tyga from Young Money had some great energy, the kind you need as a young and hungry rapper who's opening for a big name.

  8. Year I saw Kevin Roberts (new Cricket Australia CEO) at the Gabba. I said, you got the players back on this one don you? He put his right hand on my shoulder and said, you know me. I got the players back. (Michael Kors Love Bag Black And Gold)

    People in the Republican Club don share their toys. They have a lot more toys than the Democrats but tell the Democrats to work harder if they want more toys. The Republicans buy their toys with the money that they save by not chipping in to help people who can afford toys.. (Michael Kors Pink White And Black Purse)

    Look at it from the wealthy point of view. They need less taxes and interference from government. Except for protection by the police and armed forces.

    A play later, Foles dumped to running back Jay Ajayi, but linebacker Jordan Hickswas Johnny on the spot.

    Between the present position of the Dawlish Warren sand spit and Langstone Rock the railway line curves fairly abruptly to run westward along the cliff to Dawlish. There is insufficient natural protection by beach material here and it is mainly a large quantity of rock armour is preventing sea erosion of the railway line. There is a sea wall but it is probably inadequate without the additional use of rock armour. (Michael Kors Purse Crossbody Black)
