Adam Sandler

Getting down to business on their new film, Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler were spotted on location in Maui, Hawaii yesterday (April 20).

The “Bounty Hunter” babe and the “Billy Madison” man looked to be enjoying themselves as they shot scenes for “Just Go With It.”

Taking a short break from filming “Just Go With It,” Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler were spotted on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday (March 23).

The usual smiling actors both looked rather serious as they met up outside a spa where Aniston had been while Sandler did some shopping at Gucci and Barney’s.

It’s one of the most anticipated comedies of the summer, and last night Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen premiered “Funny People” in Hollywood.

The “Billy Madison” funnyman looked to be in good spirits as he arrived at the Arclight Theatre along with costar Rogen as well as Jonah Hill and writer/director Judd Apatow.

As we all know, celebrities commonly endorse their own products: TV shows, movies, apparel lines, even bottles of overpriced fragrances that smell like rubbing alcohol. But probably my favorite strain of celebrity endorsements, simply because I take an absurd amount of pleasure in eating (particularly around the holidays), is that related to the food and beverage industry.

Sometimes these endorsements are very literal, as in the case of a commercial or billboard, but other times they take shape in more subtle ways, such as a reoccurring storyline in a television series. With the holiday eating season upon us, I thought it’d be appropriate to take a look at some of the most memorable celebrity food endorsements, as components of larger trends, from the past 30 years.

Campy

Surveying the past 30 years, it’s clear that celebrity food endorsements were once significantly campier than they are today, no longer as wrought with clichés, overacting, and corny jokes. The celebrities in these endorsements hammed up every moment of their on-camera time, as though audiences would be at a complete loss without their comically exaggerated speech and actions. Oh yes, the 80s were a magical time.

A leader in campy food endorsements was the great Bill Cosby, whose love for Jell-o will not escape our memories anytime soon. Just thinking about his commercials makes me want to run to the market and buy some pudding pops.
