Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo will be reprising their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold but it won’t be on the big screen.  Instead, they will be part of a new ad campaign to be launched during the next Superbowl on February, 7 2010.  The commercial will be a throwback to the original 1983 movie and will promote HomeAway vacation rentals (I’ve used that service with great results, by the way!).

“To this day, people ask me, ‘When is the next Vacation movie?” says Chase. “So I’m sure everyone will get a kick out of seeing the Griswolds and their misadventures once again.”

“Clark and Ellen have one of the most enduring marriages ever to come out of Hollywood. I am thrilled that HomeAway is reuniting Chevy and me” added D’Angelo.

I enjoy a good Superbowl commercial so I’m looking forward to this.  I’m glad there aren’t any announcements about an upcoming movie, though!

More “National Lampoon’s Vacations” Coming

Gavin Rossdale was apparently upset that he didn’t get invited to the Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic and tried to sneak in through the back door. He put on his best cat burglar outfit and busted onto the court.

Just kidding. Gavin was invited to the shin dig, along with Chevy Chase:

and everyone’s favorite TV dad and celeb tennis player Alan Thicke:

Is it just me or does Alan Thicke look AWESOME yet? Seriously. He must stay in great shape.

Oh, and Chris Evert was there along with her man Greg Norman:
