Is this for real?

This is probably the most awkward thing I have ever seen in my life, yet so funny and so entertaining that I cannot turn away.

Is this girl a real singer or a comedian?  Does anybody know?  Please tell me!

Video of the Day: Miranda’s Single Ladies

image: Sony Pictures

In the film, Sharon (Beyoncé) has a perfect life – she has a beautiful son and her hardworking husband, Derek (Idris Elba, just got a huge promotion at work.  Sounds fantastic to me!  Unfortunately, Lisa, a temp (Ali Larter) in the office, is not only hot but she’s smart and Derek finds himself drawn to her.  Being nice to Lisa was his biggest mistake because the girl is actually nuts and becomes obsessed with being with him.  Of course, Sharon isn’t going to let go of her husband without a fight (which is exactly why I’m going to watch this film – I wanna see them fight!).

Critics were not kind to this movie but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun.  Check out the trailer:

Beyoncé’s “Obsessed” Out on DVD

Credit: Sony Pictures

The movie stars Beyoncé Knowles, Idris Elba, Ali Larter and Jerry O’Connell and tells the story of a couple who suddenly fear for their safety when the husband (played by Elba) realizes he’s being stalked by a temp (Larter) at work.   I’m happy to see Jerry O’Connell getting some work too but he looks like he’s seen better days.  Maybe he’s jogging too much because he looks thin and less cool to me.   Moving on…

Judging from the previews, this movie has a The Hand That Rocks the Cradle meets Fatal Attraction vibe to it and I’m not sure that Beyoncé has the acting chops to pull the role off.  You know there’s going to be a serious girl-on-girl fight at the end of this where the husband somehow becomes physically unable to save his wife.   Bad acting can really make that climactic scene turn into a comical one so I hope they did that part right.  Major kudos to the production team for making her look like a “regular” woman, though.

I found this trailer on the Sony Pictures YouTube Channel but I think it gives too much away.  I suppose the storyline should be obvious anyway but I hate when studios put too much out there.

Now in Theaters: “Obsessed”

image: Amazon.com

The game, which is set to be released on April 5, 2009, allows you to use your stylus to “capture the beat of the music in a variety of mini games.”  You can also turn your system sideways and hold it like a book and then slide, tap and/or flick the stylus to the beat of the rhythm.  The game sort of reminds of me Wii Music but I haven’t actually played it so I can’t really compare.

In the commercial, Beyoncé is shown sitting on a couch having fun but imagine if she couldn’t keep the beat?  That would have been HILARIOUS.

The video of the commercial can be seen below but, if you’re interested, you can watch another video that provides a behind-the-scenes look at how the commercial was made.  She even brings out her little nephew, Julez (the son of her younger sister, Solange).  Very cute!

Beyoncé Plays “Rhythm Heaven” on DS

It’s the wildly popular follow-up to the Gameboy Advance game-Rhythm Tengoku-and is set to hit American soil on April 5th along with Nintendo’s DSi.

And now, apparently Beyonce is getting in on the gaming action.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Beyonce confesses to being a fan of Guitar Hero [who knew?] and that she “make[s] time” for gaming.

No one can deny the “star power” that Beyonce [and her song] brings to the DSi and Rythym Heaven’s US launch and since Rythym Heaven [I keep wanting to type Rythym Nation!] is a very “Japanese” game, maybe the endorsement of sorts will expose a larger market to funky/cool little game.

Then again, I was hooked after watching a couple of Japanese trailers on YouTube.com. Seriosly. Who can’t love the game after watching someone toss some turnips? Love it!

Beyonce Lends Street Cred to Rythym Heaven

All good things must come to an end, I guess. David Beckham has announced that he and Pepsi are no longer affiliated.

***sniff snifff***

Okay, I admit, I LOVED the David Beckham commercials with Pepsi. Loved the creativity and variety of them. David himself said, “I have nothing but good memories of my association with Pepsi. I’ve played a gladiator, a cowboy, a surfer, and worked alongside Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez as well as some of the biggest names in world football.”

I think the Pepsi commercials showed us that David would be great in a little feature flick. (Or perhaps they just showed me that!)

Anywho, this little “breakup” with Pepsi seems very amicable. They were together TEN YEARS though so I’m sure David is grieving the loss a little bit. At least he has the warmth of his loving wife Victoria to help him out. (She won’t be smiling, but she’ll be supportive. She might even give him a hug. Who knows.)

To commemorate the end of the Beckham/Pepsi era, here are my favorite commercials featuring the hunky soccer dude.

This one showed Beckham walking to the locker room and drinking a Pepsi. A little boy follows him and then asks for his shirt. It’s a touching scene, and then turns to humor as the kid takes the shirt, wipes off the can of Pepsi, and gives the shirt back. It’s funny and sweet – how could we resist?

This commercial shows Beckham as part of a fuse ball game. Haven’t we all wondered what it would be like to be one of the little fuse ball dudes? After a few beers? When we’ve been really bored?

This is the infamous surfing commercial, with some very cool scenes of Beckham surfing and playing soccer. (With a little help from some special effects, of course.)

This commercial, however, has to the best one ever. It features Beckham with Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez. The commercial just begs for a J-Lo and Beyonce team up somehow, either in a music video, duet, or movie. (Wouldn’t that be great.) Beckham really isn’t even a factor in this commerical – it’s all about the ladies!
