The
Eye Of the Tiger: The eye network is
bypassing the conventional, 30 second ad selling game
plan and asking advertisers for $12 million apiece for
the 13 week run of 'Survivor: The Australian Outback'. In
return for  buying these
'sponsorship packages,' companies like GM, Target, Pepsi,
Visa, and Reebok would get ad time, product placement,
and links on the show’s webpage. When all is said
and done, CBS expects to rake in more than $450,000 per
30 second ad on the series, which premieres following the
Super Bowl. Speaking of which, CBS is also expecting to
pull in a record $2.35 million per 30 second ad for that
other big event (including a reported six hours of
pregame programming), bringing the night’s total to
a whopping $150 million (roughly $12.6m of which comes
from ''Survivor''). Can you say cashcow? Get to know the

Jamaican
me curious: In her best island accent, Miss
Cleo sez: "Call me now for your free reading!".
In a recent abundance of cable commercials,  this tarot-reading psychic promises to
explore your love life. Naturally, in every commercial,
she is right on the money. Pun intended. That's right,
only the first 3 minutes of every call is free, then it's
$3/minute there after. Even though I won't call, I still
can't help watching these commercials. I think they are
very well (witch) crafted. There is a certain chemistry
about this woman, she is sheer entertainment. The Fox
network should give Miss Cleo her own one hour special.

To
infinity and Beyonce: Members of
Destiny's Child have reached a settlement with the former
members who sued them. MTV News reported that Beyonce
Knowles and Kelly Roland have resolved the lawsuit former
members LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson brought
against them after they went their separate ways. In the
suit, the R&B singers claimed the other two ladies
forced them out of the group and tried to ruin their
careers. Lawyers on both sides of the case say the
dispute ended "amicably." In a related story,
Beyonce is considering suing the person who named her.

up and coming diva group.
On Thin Ice: A 65-city U.S. tour has been set
for Target's Stars On Ice. Now entering its 15th year as
America's premier skating show, the production will
feature 12 of the most notable stars in figure skating.
The new season is particularly distinguished as it marks
Olympic Champion Scott Hamilton's farewell to the
production. He really hung around longer than his hair
did, didn't he? Visit www.starsonice.com for the tour
schedule.
The
postman always rings twice: For these kind of
rates, he better. As of January 7th, the new rate for a
first class stamp was raised to 34 cents. There is just
one thing I don't understand, where do you place the
stamp on email? Visit www.usps.gov for current
postage rates.
