Rick Ross Reebok Commerical – “It Takes A Lot To Make A Classic”

I first showed you a behind the scenes look at Rick Ross’ first commerical under his Reebok contract the other day, and the final product was just released early this morning. Peep the visuals below!

ESPN’s “Michael Jordan” Commercial

Great commercial produced by the Weiden + Kennedy team. I wonder how many other “Michael Jordan”s there are in the world and what they look like and what their lives must be like.

How crazy is that cover? With the NFL draft coming up and RG3 expected to be drafted somewhere in the Top 5, his recent NCAA ’13 cover — featuring former Heisman trophy winner and Hall of Fame running back, Barry Sanders — was released today (10 days before the April 26 draft day). The reason Sanders is featured on the cover as well is because EA Sports held a fan voting page to decide who they wanted to see on the this year’s cover. You can read more about the voting, and the decision, after the jump.

Video: Carmelo Anthony Appears On “Nurse Jackie”

Nurse Jackie – played by Eddie Falco aka Mrs. Soprano – is a TV show on Showtime, and although I’ve never watched an episode, the plot has to do with her pill-popping issues. Just aired this past Friday, Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony showed his acting abilities (he was believable) as a professional baseball player.

See Melo’s not-too-shabby acting in the clip below.

Photo: “The Hulk” Covers April Issue of Muscle & Fitness

“The Hulk” will always be my favorite comic book character. And with “The Avengers” hitting theaters next month, it was only right for Muscle & Fitness to throw him on their  April issue. If you have yet to see the trailer for the film, check the video below after the jump.

“The Dark Knight Rises” Covers April Issue Of Entertainment Weekly

July 20 can not come soon enough. Seriously, “The Dark Knight Rises” could end up being better than the sequel that was so beloved with the late-great Heath Ledger in his role as The Joker. But this one? This one is the third, and final, Batman film that will be directed by Christopher Nolan and feature Christian Bale as Batman. As the movie approaches, the folks over at “Entertainment Weekly” decided to throw Batman and the seductive Catwoman (Anne Hathoway) on the cover of their April issue. If the magazine isn’t enough, peep the trailer after the jump.

Matt Groening Reveals Which State “The Simpsons” Reside

I’ve been an avid fan of The Simpsons for as long as I can remember. I’ve seen every episode to date and the show’s nearly a month older than I am (23). I don’t mess with Family Guy, I don’t bother with South Park; It’s the yellow guys or nothin’.

With 23 seasons and 503 episodes under their belt, the biggest mystery that many fans have wondered about the Simpsons is “Where do they live?” Well, we know that the cities name is Springfield, but what state? Is it Illinois? Nevada? Many guessed but there were never any definite answers until today. In a recent interview with Smithsonian Magazine, series creator Matt Groening finally revealed the location of the longest running show in TV history.

Photo: First Look At The Hulk In “Avengers” Film

With Mark Ruffalo playing Bruce Banner in the upcoming Avengers film set to drop on May 4, I’m actually pretty stoked to see how he plays the role. I’ve always like Ruffalo’s acting (especially in Shutter Island), but he will be the third different actor to playing the Hulk in the last near-decade. Eric Bana was the worst in the first film, and I thought Edward Norton did a decent job, but it’s not so much the acting as it is the horrible special effects when Banner turns into the Hulk. But thanks to Complex Magazine (courtesy of Super Hero Hype), we now have the first up-close photo of Ruffalo as the Hulk. (Which I give an A-)

New Clips From “The Amazing Spider-Man” Leak Online

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m ecstatic for the new Spider-Man series to start up. I wasn’t a fan of Tobey Maguire’s films, they were too cheesy and I think Andrew Garfield is perfect for this kind of role. Today, thanks to Complex Magazine, 3 new clips from the movie have surfaced online through the film’s marketing campaign. Now, after watching the clips, I’m pretty sure they’re unfinished judging by the poor quality. But they’re still interesting to see and should give fans a little something to hold onto until the film is debuted in theaters worldwide on July 3.

You can view the clips after the jump. Enjoy!
