10 Weirdest Celebrity Food Commercials



Some celebrities are perfect for the food they promote -- Florence Henderson and Wesson Oil seemed made for each other like Popeye and spinach.

But not all stars are a natural match for the products they endorse. (Like that former Soviet premier who went on to do Pizza Hut ads?) Here are Slashfood's picks for the 10 Weirdest Celebrity Food Commercials of All Time.

Angelina Jolie loves Reese's

Pregnancy can affect you in weird ways. Cravings - including the famous pickles and ice cream combination - are not uncommon, though they are frequently for ordinary things, like candy bars. Candy bar cravings aren't a problem when you can dash out to 7-11, but when you live in Namibia, it can be a lot more difficult to get a Reese's.

Angelina Jolie reportedly had a crate of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups flown to her in Namibia, straight from the Hershey's factory in Pennsylvania, when she was unable to obtain any locally. Reese's are good, but are they that good? It must have been some craving - either that or she's planning to share with Maddox, Zahara and Brad.

Brad Pitt buying an Italian vineyard

Brad Pitt is planning on buying a vineyard in Italy; just outside Turin, which is a short distance from his pal George Clooney's Lake Como hut.

The Daily Telegraph claims the 42 year-old actor paid a secretive visit to three wine estates, all in the Barolo region, 35 miles south of Turin. The actor stayed at the Fontanafredda estate in Serralunga, once a royal domain and 35 miles south of Turin. He visited other producers in the area including Cascina Cucco and Poderi Aldo Conterno. All three estates produce quality Barolo and Dolcetto d'Alba.

"He seemed to be interested in buying," Monica Tavella from Fontanafredda told the Telegraph.

Pitt is not the first celebrity to eye an Italian vineyard. Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall owns an estate in Sicily and Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich recently visited Tuscany, also with an eye to acquiring an estate. 

Chocolate and Brad Pitt - combined!

Somehow, we missed the 176-pound solid chocolate Brad Pitt that was put on display in a department store in South Korea over Valentine's Day. According to Best Week Ever, the near life-size model was a response to the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il's commission of a 200-pound model of Leslie Nielsen made out of olives. The likeness of Brad does not look exactly like him, but there is a resemblance and no doubt the effort was greatly appreciated by fans of the actor. Brad Pitt sounds a lot more appetizing, generally speaking, but it seems safe to say that chocolate will win over more people than a 200-pound pile of olives.

No word on what was done with the chocolate when the display was taken down. It didn't turn up on eBay, so it is safe to assume that it was either eaten or melted down and recast.

Serious bidders only: Brangelinadilla

brangelinadilla on ebayIt's the relic of the new age: an image of the baby Brangelina in a quesadilla. Is it real? Do we care? It's pretty funny, either way. Serious bidders only, please.

"Could this silhouette that was burned onto my tortilla actually be the first image of Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitts' baby??" Blares the eBay post. And it's at a whopping $6 so far. I got way more for a case of Lemon Zest Luna Bars (which I don't recommend, in case you were wondering). [via Daddy Types]

Tip of the Day

Drying fruit is easy, mostly hands-off and yields a sweet and healthy snack.
