Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Mock Split Rumors with Super Bowl PDA



For a couple supposedly on the rocks, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were certainly all over each other while watching the 2010 Super Bowl from an exclusive skybox with adopted son Maddox.

Photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt watching the game show the couple snuggling, manhandling each other and kissing madly – with huge grins plastered on their faces the whole time. Pitt and Jolie shared the excitement of the Super Bowl game with son Maddox, who looked chilled and relaxed in a Drew Brees #9 jersey as his parents cheered on the New Orleans Saints.

Either all those rumors about Pitt and Jolie headed to splits-ville are indeed false, as the couple claims – or these two are even better actors than we give them credit for.

Not only was it fun to watch the Hollywood hottie couple canoodle in their box seats, we just love the total joy on their faces when the Saints blew out the Colts for the win. Pitt and Jolie have dedicated huge amounts of time and money to help New Orleans rebuild after the Hurricane Katrina disaster. They deserve a bit of enjoyment out of seeing their ‘adopted’ home team smash their way to a historic victory.

Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge Split



Jamie Lynn Spears and baby daddy Casey Aldridge have reportedly split up, finally calling it quits on their seemingly never-ending engagement. 18-year-old Spears has reportedly moved back in with mom Lynne Spears and allegedly already has a new man, 28-year-old businessman James Watson.

Nickelodeon star Jamie Lynn Spears and fiancé Casey Aldridge reportedly broke up about six weeks ago when Spears moved out of the couple’s home and back in with her mother. So we’re guessing that wedding they kept talking about forever but never actually had is pretty much permanently off.

Spears famously became a ‘poster child’ for unwed teenage parenthood when she revealed she was pregnant with Aldridge’s child when she was 16. The couple’s now 19-month-old daughter, Maddie, is reportedly living with Spears.

Spears and Aldridge have not commented so far on reports of their breakup, but rumor has it Spears already has a new man in her life. According to People, Spears is now dating James Watson, a businessman from Louisiana.

Well, we can only hope Jamie Lynn will be moving on up to her new beau’s digs sometime soon, because if she has any sense at all, she won’t be keeping her daughter under Lynne Spears’ roof for long. We shudder to think of momma Spears having her hands involved too deeply in raising yet another generation of the family brood.

Top Super Bowl Commercials of 2010 – The Best & Worst



Despite the overblown controversy over the Tim Tebow anti-abortion ad, most of the Super Bowl 2010 commercials kept things light and tried to appeal to the viewer’s sense of humor to sell their shtick. As usual, some were far more successful than others.

Overall, we here at SnarkFood judged this year’s 2010 Super Bowl commercials as rather mediocre overall. None of the ads really slammed us with that ‘wow’ factor we’ve gotten from some previous Super Bowl advertisements. There were, however, a few that did tickle our funny bone or at least make us smile.

One of our top favorites of 2010 was the Betty White Snickers Super Bowl commercial – mostly because we just love Betty White no matter what the hell she’s doing.

 

Another one we were rather fond of was the so-called ‘Green Police’ super bowl commercial from Audi. Of course, we can’t help but love any commercial with a music background from Cheap Trick and lines like” “You picked the wrong day to mess with the ecosystem, plastic boy!”

We wanted to love the Dave Letterman, Jay Leno and Oprah Winfrey Super Bowl commercial ad for The Late Show just because it was pretty cool to have all three of them in the spot. But honestly we felt it fell a little bit flat and could have been so much more…

Budweiser purchased so much ad time during the Super Bowl that we were entirely sick of them by the time the Saints kicked the Colts ass into the ground. The only ad we really kind of liked was the Budweiser Lost commerical, which at least deserved props for its great production value and bravery in trying to take on a parody of such an epic hit show.

Weirdly enough, the Google Super Bowl commercial actually kind of made us feel a bit sappy, which I guess was a success. The search term story of a French romance was a creative way to promote the search engine, not that they really need the marketing.

All in all, we have to give our votes for the best Super Bowl commercials of 2010 to Snickers for the Betty White/Abe Vigoda football ad and Audi for their Green Police commercial.

As for the worst, we hands down pick the Tim Tebow ad for being so pointless it wasn’t even worth the media firestorm over it and GoDaddy.com for boring us yet again with a stupid slutty chick commercial nearly identical to every other commercial they’ve ever aired.

Dear John Finally Ends Avatar Box Office Reign



After seven straight weeks at the top of the box office, James Cameron’s sci-fi epic Avatar was finally pushed out of the number one spot this past weekend. Avatar fell to number two in the weekend box office, pushed aside by the romantic drama Dear John.

We hate to stereotype, but we don’t find it all that surprising that Avatar got bumped off its box office throne on Super Bowl weekend and replaced in the top spot by a chick flick. After all, the ladies had to have something to do while their men were going all caveman for a bunch of guys pounding on each other in the modern gladiator event known as the Super Bowl.

Avatar raked in another $23.6 million at the weekend box office, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the somewhat surprisingly robust ticket sales of Dear John, starring Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum. The movie soared to the top of the box office with $32.4 million in sales – with a hefty 84 percent female audience, according to MTV.com. That’s good news for Screen Gems, which made enough in the film’s first weekend to pay for the movie’s entire production budget.

Avatar has managed to top nearly every record at the box office made by James Cameron’s previous epic drama, Titanic, but at least one will remain standing for now. Titanic held number one at the box office for 17 straight weeks.

With a total of over $2 billion at the box office so far, we’re sure the powers-that-be behind Avatar aren’t feeling all that bummed about losing out on conquering another record. We’re sure they are happily consoled with all those fat piles of crisp, green bills to roll around in.

The Who Super Bowl Halftime Show Foreshadows New Orleans Win



The Who lead singer Roger Daltrey, lead guitarist Peter Townsend and the rest of the band rocked the Super Bowl XLIV halftime show, an apt foreshadowing of the Saints victory over the Colts. Considering the New Orleans Saints ‘motto’ of the night was Who Dat? – what other band besides The Who could have been more apropos?

The New Orleans Saints slammed to a win in Super Bowl XLIV after a rousing comeback in the second half of the game. Despite being 10 down, the Saints blew the Colts out of the water to take the team’s first Super Bowl win. We thought it was kind of a karmic foreshadowing with The Who was announced as the lead halftime performers. Who Dat? The Who that’s who!

As always, we’re always curious how the halftime entertainment will come off, especially since that whole Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake fiasco a while back. This year we needed no ‘nip slip’ to spice up the halftime show. The Who rocked it out hard, despite the fact that half the band looked like a bunch of nursing home escapees crashing the Super Bowl stage with stolen guitars.

Check out some of the fabulous video of The Who at the Super Bowl halftime show below. And congrats to the Saints for a blow-out victory. New Orleans is partying hard tonight!

Disgraced Beauty Queen Carrie Prejean Engaged



Despite scandal, sex tapes, nude photos and the loss of her former Miss California crown, disgraced beauty queen Carrie Prejean seems to have finally found her man. Carrie Prejean and Rams quarterback Kyle Boller reportedly got engaged this past weekend in San Diego.

Carrie Prejean, 22, and Kyle Boller, 28, began dating last summer. At the time, Prejean was embroiled in a media firestorm over alleged sex tapes, nude photos, anti-gay marriage activities and a controversial showdown on Larry King Live.

We can only say it must have been quite the interesting first leg of a romance for Kyle Boller. Wonder if Carrie Prejean has him watch the mysterious solo sex tape yet?

Maybe she’s saving that for the honeymoon…

BTW, for those who are just dying to see that Carrie Prejean sextape video out there on the Net somewhere, keep waiting. The video has not yet been leaked as far as the pro gossip mongers know, which means all those ads out there promising a free download of it are out to bite you in the ass. Just saying.

Sheryl Crow New Resident of Cougar Town



Grammy Award-winning singer Sheryl Crow will shortly be joining gal pal Courteney Cox as a new resident of the ABC comedy series Cougar Town. No, Sheryl will not be playing herself this time, although we certainly think she qualifies for the ‘cougar’ title regardless.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Sheryl Crow will guest star in multiple episodes of Cougar Town as the new girlfriend of Grayson, played by Josh Hopkins. We think it’s a pretty hot casting move. Crow and Hopkins look like they’d be a smoking couple, as long as they can drum up some believable chemistry.

The real question is whether or not Crow can pull it off successfully. Sure, she’s actually appeared in quite a few episodes of various series, but most of the time she’s been on a stage behind a guitar. There was that Minus Man movie a decade ago, but Sheryl Crow basically kind of played herself in that too.

It’ll be interesting to see if Crow can actually play something different in an acting capacity, or if her Cougar Town character will be just another knock-off of the singer herself.
