George Clooney Ad For Lancelot Whisky in Korea

As we've shown in the past, and as was portrayed in movies like Lost In Translation, many Hollywood stars appear in advertisements overseas that you would never see here in the United States.

Above is an older ad for Lancelot Whisky that ran in Korea.

It's not a bad advertisement, just strange to see someone so famous in a context that you've never witnessed before.

Last time I was in Japan I saw ads with both Tommy Lee Jones and Brad Pitt that you would never see here in America.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Have A Hit With Miraval Rosé

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie recently purchased a vineyard estate - the legendary Chateau Miraval in Provence. There were many skeptics - would the wine be worth drinking? Would Jolie and Pitt simply be dabblers or not involved in any meaningful way?

Well, Wine Spectator says the couple was very much involved in working out the key decisions of flavor, look and branding.

The wine itself is a bouquet of fruit - raspberries, strawberries...a refreshing treat for a warm afternoon. Priced at a reasonable $23, this wine is an excellent value. And it has been selling out everywhere.

All of this bodes well for future wines from Miraval.
