VIDEO: Kobe & LeBron Nike Puppets are back
You either have been waiting for the Kobe and LeBron puppets to make their comeback or you were glad that the TV ad series was done. Regardless, they are back now. After Kobe’s game winner against Miami last week I’m going to have to side with The Black Mamba this time.
VIDEO: Diddy makes $400K in 40 minutes on Home Shopping Network
Talk about a business man. Diddy grossed an average of $10,000 of sales per minute on his recent visit to the Home Shopping Network where he sold out of his fragrance collections I Am King and Unforgiveable Men and Women in a total of 40 minutes. The sell out was a record for the Home Shopping Network where over 5,600 units were sold at an average price of $68 for an estimated gross of almost $400,000 in sales. While this by no means states Diddy pockets all that money, anyone in sales will tell you someone earning $10,000 per minute of gross revenue sales has some serious hustling skills.
After this success you can be sure the the Home Shopping Network will be the new go-to spot for celebrities pushing their products. Word on the street is Dr. Dre and Jimmy might make an appearance to push their Beats by Dre line including the headphones and the HP Envy.
VIDEO: Unboxing of Dr. Dre’s HP Envy 15 Beats
Dr. Dre x HP Envy. In case you don’t want to spend the $2,400 for the Hewlett Packard Envy 15 Beats, our main man Hugh gives us a nice video of the laptop unboxing which includes the Beats by Dre headphones. Taking a bite out of Apple’s playbook, HP goes with a similar sleek and simple packaging that Apple has been known for. Make sure to check out Hugh’s blog for the chance to win your own HP Envy Beats.
ALBUM ART: LL Cool J – “All World 2″ (Greatest Hits album)

VIDEO: 50 Cent’s “Do You Think About Me” teaser w/ Vivica Fox
50 Cent drops this teaser video for his upcoming music video “Do You Think About Me.” His marketing team used a similar strategy for the “Baby By Me” video release which guest starred Kelly Rowland. This time though 50 ups the game by bringing on Vivica A. Fox who was connected to having a relationship with 50 back in the day.
No argument that 50 gets the coverage and hype for his videos….unfortunately it’s not turning into actual sales though as his Before I Self Destruct continues to falter on the Sound Scan numbers. On the other hand, 50′s constant publicity and hype, including these music videos, fuels his brand image and maintains relevancy in order for him to wheel and deal for future business opportunities and supplies his website ThisIs50 with more exclusive content to drop.
