Aykroyd's Crystal Head turns 1
million The
makers of Crystal Head Vodka (www.crystalheadvodka.com),
the world’s cleanest, purest vodka, proudly announce the production of the
brand’s one-millionth bottle today.
Created by entertainer Dan Aykroyd and American landscape artist and portraitist
John Alexander, Crystal Head Vodka is quadruple-distilled and triple-filtered
through Herkimer diamond crystals. Made from water from a deep aquifer in
Newfoundland, Canada, it is a Pure Spirit free of any additives such as sugar,
glycerin or citrus oil.
“Crystal Head Vodka began as a 5,000 case project and sold 46,000 cases in our
first year,” said Aykroyd. “Hitting this important milestone just six months
later is a testament to the quality of our product and our ability to carve out
a vibrant niche even in the crowded vodka category.”

The "V" App
The
Visitors are among us … and now the master manipulators are also inside your
iPhone. Fans of Warner Bros. Television’s “V” can transform themselves
into V’s by downloading the show’s new iPhone App from iTunes in
advance of the show’s spring premiere Tuesday, March 30 (10:00–11:00 p.m. ET/PT)
on the ABC Television Network.
The new “V” iPhone App allows users to create and share photos inspired
by the series. Choosing from a collection of “V”-themed backdrops and
overlays, fans can manipulate existing photos or take new ones within the App to
reveal their reptilian selves, add one of the motherships into a personal pic or
make it appear as if they are delivering an address to an entire city (just like
Anna addressing the world). Users can merge their photos with “V”-themed content
using appropriate scaling, positioning and resizing via the intuitive user
interface. After completing an image, these new V’s can share their photos and
passion for “V” with friends through Facebook and Twitter.
On March 30, the “V” story continues with the ‘Welcome to the War’ episode.
Erica (series star Elizabeth Mitchell) finds her life in danger when she’s
attacked at home, and, as the Visitors build up their defenses, a dangerous new
member is recruited for the Resistance. Meanwhile, Anna (series star Morena
Baccarin) wonders why Chad (series star Scott Wolf) hasn’t followed up on his
diagnosed aneurysm, and Ryan’s (series star Morris Chestnut) concern grows over
Val’s (series star Lourdes Benedicto) “abnormal” pregnancy. ‘Welcome to the War’
was written by Scott Rosenbaum and directed by Yves Simoneau.
Read the
inspiration Alice
Penguin Books has released Alice
Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
which is the inspiration for the new Johnny Deeps feature films.
Lewis Carroll's
tale of Alice and her adventures in the nonsensical dream world of Wonderland

sublime make-believe and introducing such unforgettable characters as the Mad
Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, and the Cheshire Cat, the Alice books are full of
anarchic humor and sparkling word play.
Now, with the
release of Tim Burton's much anticipated film remaining, readers will be eager
to read (and reread) this original and experimental masterpiece.
Alice
Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass is in stores now and
retails for $14.00

Marilyn's new Cabernet
A
new vintage of The Velvet Collection has been released, and is sure to
tempt fans of Marilyn Monroe with a stunning image that was once cast aside.
Among the scintillating “Red Velvet” series of nude photo portraits of Marilyn
Monroe taken by Hollywood photographer Tom Kelley, Sr. in 1949 was a double
exposure.
That photo has now been separated
into two distinctive images, one of which – “Pose 8” – appears for the first
time on the label of The Velvet Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2007. The
nude portrait is covered with a discreet overlay, which can be peeled back from
the label, revealing the original, glamorous and previously unseen image.
The new Velvet Collection release is the fourth in the limited-edition
series. The Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 is as generously proportioned as
the legendary Miss Monroe, and will age gracefully for many years to come. This
vintage is being offered in both the magnum (1.5L) bottle and 750ml bottle, each
packaged in a sealed and numbered presentation box. The suggested retail price
of the magnum is $200, while the retail price of the 750ml bottle is $69.

The Chris Farley Show Book
Penguin
Books has released The Chris Farley Show book in paperback (retails
$16.00). The hardback book was a New York Times best seller list and was penned
by his brother Tom Farley and Tanner Colby which gives a personal inside look at
one of Hollywood's funny men.
After three years of sobriety, Chris
Farley’s life was at its creative peak until a string of professional
disappointments chased him back to drugs and alcohol. He fought hard against
them, but it was a fight he would lose in December 1997. Farley’s fans
immediately drew parallels between his death and that of his idol, John Belushi.
Without looking deeper, however, many failed to see that Farley was much more
than just another Hollywood drug overdose. In this officially authorized oral
history, Farley’s friends and family remember his work and life. Along the way,
they tell a remarkable story of boundless energy, determination, and laughter
that could only keep the demons at bay for so long.
