Snoop Dogg x Adidas. We mentioned a couple weeks back the unlikely duo of Snoop Dogg and Darth Vader teaming up to push Adidas’ new Origianls Star Wars sneaker & track suit collection. You thought the above TV ad with the two of them was crazy, now check out their latest promotion where Snoop, Darth Vader and an army of Storm Troopers invaded New York. Pics after the jump…

Pharrell x Super Mario. Gamers take note. Wearing this Super Mario Bros. jewelry will not get you chicks…unless you are the actual guy who invented Super Mario Bros. or you are Pharrell. Too bad I am neither because I like these. Luckily for Pharrell he can pretty much do whatever he wants and proves it rockin them loud and proud. Brand awareness at its finest.

Kid Cudi x How To Make It In America. Cudi gets his first acting reoccurring role in the HBO scripted drama “How To Make It In America.” In this video he talks about his role in the show and his future in acting.

From what we have seen, Cudi has a legit shot at a real acting career here. Of course he plays a struggling musician trying to break it to the big time so it’s not too much a stretch role for him. Via: RR

Diddy x Ciroc. Associate a product with celebrities and watch it sell! Check out the new Cîroc online commercial which features Diddy, Rick Ross, Meagan Good, Cassie, will.i.am, Clinton Sparks, and Lupe Fiasco.

Common x Gatorade. Common is the voice of Gatorade’s new Super Bowl commercial. We’re pretty sure they are not going to pay for a minute and a half spot during Sunday’s game since a 30 second commercial already starts at $2 million. I guess we’ll see the final version and final length on game day.

Common On Working With Gatorade:

I’ve worked with Gatorade before, but not on a commercial. This time me being part of a commercial is really exciting for me me. I’ve seen a lot of their spots lately and I’ve really been intrigued by them, they’ve really been creative… I like that whole “What’s G” and “That’s G.” It feels authentic and pure to me…

They contacted me about this particular commercial just this weekend. Because we already built a relationship they felt I’d be great for this spot they have. It’s really a soulful spot that’s gonna be shown before the Superbowl… It has a soul to it that really depicts what football is about and playing and competing with heart and soul. The visual of it shows the heart and soul of what athletes experience, specifically the football players that were in the playoffs. It shows their experience. The music behind it has a drama to it and a heart to it. When I watched the spot before I even did the recording. I was like Man! It brought emotion to me. That’s what made it soulful. I think it’s the soul of the athletes that bring out the soul of the whole piece.

Diddy has been making recent headlines for his recent interview with Wolf Blitzer in which Diddy states he wants to give back to the community by launching a business school/academy aimed at shaping the future leaders of tomorrow. Never mind Diddy’s countless run-ins with the law during his youth…it’s great to see Diddy maturing and realizing the power and influence he has in the business world. With that said, as Diddy sheds his Bad Boy image here are our Top 5 names for Diddy’s new Business School:

1. C.C.C. – Ciroc Community College – Success is just a bottle away.
2. University of B.I.G. – Enroll in our “Crack Dealer to Millionaire” advanced courses now!
3. P Twitty Online University – Let’s go! Lock it up!!!!
4. P.S.O.B.H. – Puffy’s School of Bidnass and Hoes – There’s no bidnass like hoe bidnass.
5. The Mason Betha School for Kids Who Can’t Read Good – Can’t nobody hold you down…unless you can’t read good.

Let us know which school name you think is the best. Or perhaps you have a better one yourself. We will definitely suggest the top recommended ones to Diddy. And by Diddy we really mean his online intern who won’t even return our e-mails because he is too busy Twittering to his effin Facebook.

Damon Dash x Dash Gallery. Talk about starving artist. If only Dame had some of his ex’s Rachel Roy clothing money. Nope. Instead Dame is getting into the art business like every other rapper these days with the launch of the Dash Gallery. The gallery will be located in Dash’s current building in the Tribeca neighborhood and is set to open to the public on Feb. 19.

Opening night is set to feature works by contemporary artists like Bobby Castaneda, Jeremy Wagner, and Hector Ruiz….none of which we are too hip to know about. No word on who the DJs will be or more important what type of appetizers they will serve. My bet is on the crab cakes. Dame loves crab cakes.

Pharrell x BBC/ Ice Cream. Hard to imagine that Pharrell’s BBC / Ice Cream clothing lines are going on ten seasons. That’s four more seasons than Lost but BBC/Ice Cream is a lot less confusing…that’s because the clothing line doesn’t go into the past, then go into the future, then get blown up by a hydrogen bomb and split into two alternate realities forever changing life as we know it. I hate Lost. But I sure love BBC/Ice Cream. Check out the behind-the-scenes preview of their next Look Book.
