Celeb endorsements are nothing new. Ever since Pope Leo XIII put his stamp of approval on cocaine, we’ve come to expect the hard sell from our favorite stars, whether it’s Jessica Simpson and her Buffalo wing ad campaign or Paul McCartney’s bajillionaire financial planning spots. Some pairings make sense, but the majority are weird, sad or downright disturbing. A Jimi Hendrix energy drink, people? Hell, we might even buy it: The stuff would have to be danged potent to rouse Hendrix from eternal slumber. And remember when Preparation H was trying to get the rights to Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire”? Nothing like a little countrified rock to help soothe your ‘roids.
In the spirit of analyzing the fine art of celeb-product synchronicity, we’ve put together a list of endorsements we’d like to see.
- The Paula Abdul breathalizer
- My Chemical Romance anti-depressants
- Keith Richards safety helmets
- Britney Spears cotton briefs
- Elvis Presley bacon-flavored peanut butter
Which imaginary pairings would make you more likely to buy something?
