On the heels of learning that in 1978 The Police recorded a Wrigley’s commercial, I found out that in 2008 Chris Brown, Julianne Hough and Ne-Yo will be updating Wrigley’s gum “jingles” for Doublemint®, Juicy
Fruit® and Big Red®. Today Chris and Julianne will perform some of their hit songs and as well as their new jingles, and all three will be on hand to celebrate the partnership and entertain the crowd of lucky fans. Concert hopefuls can line up at the above locations where the first 164 (2 Busloads of 82) fans in line at each location will be taken to the show.

Body Count is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1990. The group was founded by Ice-T, best known for his contributions to the

hip hop genre. Ice-T founded the group out of his interest in heavy metal, and took on the role of vocalist for the group, writing the lyrics for most of the group’s songs,

From NY Post: Pharrell Williams is about to become a daddy. The lead singer of N.E.R.D. and Neptunes producer has impregnated a model type he met with friends in Miami this year. The unidentified woman “is very pregnant and travels with him. She hangs out with the backstage crew when he performs,” said a friend. “Pharrell is extremely private and won’t release any details.” A rep declined to comment.

The Green movement has really taken off big time in the United States. More and more you see less fatty foods on a menu, and more green options. I’ve been noticing more and more that fast food restaurants are changing their ways and putting all the calorie information on their menus. As the American diet is slowly changing from burgers and fries to salads and green veggies you have to wonder how you can go green even more.

One of things you really must do is pick the right source for your food. Shamrock Food Services is just one source of really good and natural foods that you can use in your business. They provide the freshest canned and frozen fruits for the restaurant business. Their brands include Brickfire Bakery, Bountiful Harvest, AspenGold, and many other brands. So if your about to start a food business then you need to check out Shamrock Food Service for your needs.

If your looking for Food Service Phoenix, Food Service Denver, or Food Service Albuquerque then set up an appointment with Shamrock Food Services and have them starting bringing your their quality food products to your business.

Dear New York Area ColorOfChange.org member,

More than half a million people have joined the effort to call on Fox
to end their race-baiting and fear-mongering! It’s an amazing response.
We’re taking the campaign to the next step: at Fox News Headquarters in
Manhattan, hip hop artist Nas–who has a new track calling out Fox’s
racism and fear-mongering–will join ColorOfChange.org members and our
allies to deliver the petitions and our message in front of news
cameras. Click here to RSVP:

http://colorofchange.org/foxdelivery/?id=2244-125725

Where: News Corp. Building (home of Fox News), 1211 Avenue of the Americas (6th Ave), @48th St in Manhattan

When: Wednesday, July 23rd at 2pm, gathering at 1:45pm

Who: Nas with ColorOfChange.org and MoveOn.org members deliver over 620,000 signed petitions to FOX

More Info: We’ll gather in the plaza on 48th St., just north of the Fox building, a couple hundred feet west of 6th Ave.

You can help make history. Never before has Fox or any other
media organization been confronted by this many Black voices and
allies. Participating is easy. Just make your way to 48th St and 6th
Ave.

This won’t be the end of our campaign. If other media outlets
cover us delivering over half-a-million petition signatures, FOX’s
advertisers will get the hint that it’s not a good idea to associate
their products with Fox’s hate-speech. But we need a crowd to make this
event as powerful as possible.

We hope you can join us. To RSVP, click here:

Thanks and Peace,

– James, Gabriel, Clarissa, Andre, Kai and the rest of the ColorOfChange.org team
