Today a swarm of celebrities came together in a Back to the Future-themed ad campaign for a real-life hoverboard. Just 30 years after the movie that made us fall in love with flying skateboards, they're here! ... Except they're not.
If you think that Stevie Nicks is a bizarre person to weigh in on the Mariah Carey/Nicki Minaj American Idol feud, she'll see your bizarreness and raise you a murderous impulse. Pop music's most cherished witch figure seems to be the last person in the world who doesn't think Mariah and Nicki's public squabbling is a…
Is Nicki Minaj for real?
Domino's Pizza Japan has a $31,000-an-hour one-hour job opening, no experience necessary. They won't say what it entails, but it's probably not a job coming up with wacky P.R. stunts, as that position seems to be filled.
So. It's apparently "Take Your Daughter to Work Day." Or "Take Your Child To Work Day" if you're one of those parents who makes their son wear dresses and pigtails. We are hearing reports of dozens of children terrorizing offices across Manhattan, interrupting work with shrieking and face-painting and possibly pony…
Do people still actually go to the post office to mail their taxes in? If so, the NY-Style Bagel Chip Co. (from, perhaps, the minds that brought us "Brooklyn-style Pizza" and "DC STYLE" magazine) will ensure, next week, that no one ever does again. They plan on sending 30 people dressed as Uncle Sam to six Manhattan…
After giving away their album to people too crass to support art and then encouraging saps to buy their free album, Radiohead has another crazy plan to drum free publicity for their music. The band is holding a contest to find an animator to create a video for the band. Radiohead is going to save the music industry;…
Can we go back for just one sec to the Kevin Federline PR stunt in Times Square today? Yes, it's your rare chance to see The Impregnator out at a public event, and, yes, it's amusing — if expected — that the flacks won't let any reporters actually, you know, talk to him. But we must stop to highlight the allegedly…
Just dying to spend the day outdoors, frolicking in the chilly rain? Have we got the event for you, then. It's exciting, it's suspenseful, it's something you've always wanted to see! At 12:30 p.m., in Madison Square Park, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! — and, for the record, we can't believe it still exists! —…
So, extremely expensive promotional mints, you've just been stolen from the mailroom at The New York Sun, prompting a frantic these-were-in-no-way-meant-for-staffers email from PR manager Maggie Shnayerson. Where are you going?
Well, OK, maybe the second biggest danger. After having everyone think you're a cheesy self-promoting tool.
We received a tip this morning that the staff of Marie Claire was gathered in Times Square, clad only in bathing suits. A Hearst spokeswoman confirms this is true — the bathing beauties were doing a fundraiser for the Skin Cancer Foundation, she explained — but won't release any photos. (Apparently they want to save…
Never mind the not- actually-visible-from-space enormous Maxim cover that may or may not be in Las Vegas desert. An intrepid Maxim reader (looker? scanner? admirer? lecher?) has picked up the actual issue and noticed something interesting about the big gatefold feature:
Maxim has reached its 100th issue. To mark that achievement, the ur-lad mag has created an enormous version of its milestone cover, featuring Housewife Eva Longoria, and splayed it across the desert outside Las Vegas. The ginormous cover is 75 feet wide by 110 feet long, and the press release brags that it's visible…
