Although the 2007 Topps Derek Jeter is probably the best baseball card since the `89 Fleer Billy Ripken, this whole fiasco reeks of a PR stunt. Think about it, when was the last time anyone talked about baseball cards? Probably when Sportflics was still in the bizz. If they REALLY wanted to generate buzz, they would’ve photoshopped The Thighmaster eating corn in the dugout instead of a clearly hung-over Mickey Mantle. She mars.

• Here’s the moment that all Britney watchers have been waiting for … THE SPIN! Granta, your Uncle Grambo’s no expert on post-partum depression (that’s Tom Cruise territory), but somehow I doubt that either rampant use of pure grade MDMA or paranoia onset by Belushi-esque hittins of Bolivian Marching Powder is exactly par for the post-partum course.

• Those in Ad Agency Land who are looking to get the most bang out of their creative buck should look no further than Sausalito’s own Butler, Shine and Stern. Their recent work for the Mini Cooper brand (including WAY rad interactive billboards and the viral Hammer And Coop series) is setting new precedents for integrating technology into the auto industry’s stagnant media planning approach (ie, buy lots of TV commercials). Meanwhile, over in The D™, GM still doesn’t get it (*shocker*, I know). Their heavily hyped blog, I Got Shotgun, hasn’t been updated since February 13. Durst.

While we won’t know until Wednesday whether or not McPheever’s debut LP sold enough copies in its second week to stick in Billboard’s Top Ten, things aren’t looking promising for last year’s American Idol runner-up. As your Uncle Grambo first forewarned back in December, McPhee’s people don’t seem to understand that her appeal on the show was based more on her looks (specifically, her Rack-N-Back) than her pipes. To that end, not only did they fail at getting her record in stores in time to capitalize on the holiday rush, but now that her record has been released, THERE’S NO VIDEO TO SUPPORT IT! For an artist who rose to prominence on television, this is Mr. Bungle level miss by anyone and everyone associated with Miss McPhee.

To that end, I have a suggestion. Why not just loop this clip of McPheever frenching her own kneecaps for the entire three minute and 35 second duration of “Over It”? Giggity!
