Katarina Van Derham Named Official Bar Wench of St. Pauli Girl - Again

 
Katarina Van Derham has been named the 2010 St. Pauli Girl spokesmodel, marking the first time in the history of the beer company that the same woman has served as the German barmaid icon for two years in a row. 

As my husband would say: "Now that's impressive!"

Van Derham, a native of Slovakia who now makes her home in sunny Los Angeles, beat out the competition in an online vote in 2009, and toured the country as the official spokesmodel for the beer brand.

Van Derham is no stranger to the camera.  She was featured in an episode of Entourage last season playing opposite Bob Saget. She's also appeared on the TV shows Monk and CSI, and in the films Cellular and 15 Minutes.

She's also done ad campains for AT&T, Dodge, Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier.

A Bite of Twilight

 

 Twilight fans are die hard about their love for Robert Pattinson,  their angst for Kristen Stewart, and their crush on Taylor Lautner.  They express their love and adoration through all kinds of creative endeavors - like cake.   

Lots and lots of cakes. 

So many cakes in fact, that I couldn't possibly even begin to fit them all in one post, so here's just a small sample of  Twilight love - all expressed via flour, sugar, eggs, a little creativity and a lot of icing.

Smells Like: Burger King

 

Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan launched Burger King's meat-scented cologne - called Flame - on June 15th at Selfridges in London. 

The ad campaign is a tongue-in-cheek parody on all those underwear ads which feature the oggle-worthy David Beckham. 

The catchphrase for this tomfoolery?

"The scent of seduction. With a hint of flame-grilled meat."
