Grammy Award wiining rap artist Missy Elliot is promoting a new brand of crunchiness with a cutting edge as sharp as her music–like… hmm, Doritos.
To be more precise, Missy Elliot is the new face of Doritos Collisions - a groundbreaking variation on old fashioned Doritos, which places to flavors all mixed up into one bag of crisps. Currently the available Collisions flavours are: Hot Wings & Blue Cheese and Zesty Nacho & Chipotle Ranch.
In the commercial, Elliott (who is currently working on a new album) is seen working on a new mix with a sound engineer in a recording studio. Momentarily stuck on the beat, she munches on new Doritos Collisions chips and, inspired by their intense flavor combination unexpectedly decides to spin in a country beat.
“The idea of Doritos Collisions mixing those great flavours is an original idea - just how I like my music,” said Elliott. “I’m all about new experiences and new sounds.”
The rapper is also hosting an interactive experience at www.snackstrongproductions.com, where visitors can listen to Missy’s musical “collisions” and customize their own tracks using different music effects and recording their own vocals.
Of course you do–Heroes star Hayden Panettiere, who just turned 18, is the new face of America’s iconic “Got Milk” campaign targeting teenagers to drink milk.
For her ad, Hayden is sporting the famous milk moustache in a skintight red dress as she clutches an exploding glass of the white stuff.
“You don’t have to be a hero to feel invincible. That’s why I drink milk,” she says in the tag line, which, of course, is a reference to Hayden’s character on Heroes, Claire Bennett, who can spontaneously heal herself from almost any injury.
The sexy blonde, who turned 18 on Tuesday (August 21), will appear in new print ads, shot by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. The campaign urges teenagers to drink three glasses of low-fat or fat-free milk a day.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, Hayden made an appearance David Letterman and talked about what turning legal means to her.
“I don’t think much changes when you’re 18 – maybe the way people treat you,” Hayden said.
“But I think the only things I can do is buy cigarettes, porn and, if I get in trouble with the law, I’m kind of screwed.”

As a child, the 62-year-old DeVito used to sell lemonade for five cents a glass in New Jersey. Now he’s ventured out into the beverage industry with his own lemon-flavored liqueur.
Danny DeVito’s Premium Limoncello was unveiled last week at the Wine And Spirits Wholesalers Of America Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida. The liqueur is produced and bottled on an estate of lemon trees on Italy’s Sorrento peninsula. His Limoncello is made from the zest – or the outer, yellow skin – of flavorful Sorrento Lemons.
The lemon zest is mixed with sugar, water and alcohol to create the finished product a luscious, lemony, 60-proof liqueur best served very cold or over ice. The Limoncello is bottled at the estate in a tall bottle with a transparent lemon on the front. The label and decorative lemon are serigraphed onto the bottle and then fired. Italian designer Lorenzo Damiano created the bottle and labels.
“We worked closely with Danny to create a unique Limoncello made from the finest Sorrento Lemons,” said Richard DeCicco, CEO of Harbrew Imports. “The flavor is a perfect balance of tart and sweet. It’s a crisp, refreshing liqueur.”
Danny DeVito’s Premium Limoncello is slated to be available this summer. The product will be available initially in 750ml and 50ml “mini” sizes. Harbrew Imports plans to add a 375ml bottle later. The suggested retail price for the 750ml bottle will be $23.99.

The Man with No Name is set to have his name and face on bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale to celebrate the drink’s upcoming 80th birthday.
Hollywood filmmaker and actor Clint Eastwood is a longtime fan of the British booze and Newcastle Brown chiefs would want his tough guy features to adorn limited addition anniversary bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale.
Known popularly as ‘The greatest of Ales’, ‘The Drink of Gods’ and the drink for those who want a ilttle bit more ‘bang for buck’, Newcastle Brown Ale is famous for its nice initial tastes and after tastes in the beer drinking community. It’s also Clint Eastwood’s favourite beer, who even had crates of it shipped out to Africa when he was on location filming White Hunter, Black Heart.
Newky’s popularity has never waned. A staggering 216 million pints are now produced a year and more than 40 countries import it in bulk, the biggest buyer being the US, where it is the No.1 selling imported ale.
And the list of local devotees include Geordieborn soccer legend Paul Gascoigne and Auf Wiedersehen Pet actor Jimmy Nail. And Daniel Craig was slurping Newcastle Brown long before he sipped vodka martinis as the suave Bond.
Brewery spokesman Doug Cook says, “Clint is a massive fan of the drink. Having his face on the bottle would be a real eye-catcher.”

Aniston, according to Usmagazine.com, Jennifer will promote the ‘pure’ water drink in ads with the slogan “water that’s the envy of all water.”
A source told usmagazine.com told that the 38-year-old star “has a clean image and that’s smartwater’s whole image, so she’s perfect for it.”
While representatives for Aniston and SmartWater have yet confirmed the report, it may be recalled that the ‘Along Came Polly’ actress has starred in advertisements for Heineken beer and Lynx deodorant in the past.
