this thing looks like that thing
Maybe I'm still dealing with residual Chris Martin-on-the-brain after seeing not one, but two new Coldplay videos yesterday, but the first thing I thought of when I saw Chris Brown's commercial for Wrigley's Doublemint gum—which uses the hook from the teen heartthrob's secretly sponsored by Wrigley top-ten track "Forever"—was the iTunes ad that used "Viva La Vida" and a lot of similar flashing-light tricks. Sure, there are differences (the color schemes, Brown's infinitely superior dance moves), but some enterprising YouTuber could probably cut together the two clips and come up with something neat. Especially since I just played the two ads simultaneously and Martin's vocals actually sounded kinda decent over the Brown track's sinuous, Polow Da Don-assisted keyboards. Coldplay ad afer the jump.

On the left: The inexplicable winner of last night's episode of Project Runway, which I found really ill-fitting and not as worthy of last night's title as Kenley's gorgeous design. On the right: Eddie Van Halen's "Frankenstein" guitar, which I didn't realize was the designer's unconscious inspiration for the frock until MTV's blog pointed out that fact. (NB: That doesn't make me like it much more.) [MTV Newsroom / Dress pic via Jezebel]

So the 50 Cent/Kanye West Rolling Stone cover is out, and for all its pre-release hype, it's kind of meh. What, no boxing gloves? No gobs of money being flung around? But our eagle-eyed chart obsessive Chris "dennisobell" Molanphy noted that the cover could be seen as a slightly less sweaty homage to an iconic album of years gone by:
