Quinta Brunson, the brilliant mind behind “Abbott Elementary,” shines in TurboTax‘s latest Super Bowl commercial, directed by the acclaimed Taika Waititi. This year’s ad not only entertains but also educates viewers on making smart tax-saving moves, with Brunson engaging in a witty exchange with Connie, a TurboTax tax expert.

🌟 A Million-Dollar Question: The commercial takes a humorous turn as Brunson inquires if it’s possible to deduct “like a million nachos,” blending practical tax questions with a dose of her signature humor. This playful interaction highlights the complexities of tax deductions and the value of expert advice in navigating them.

đŸ’” Scan to Win Big: Adding to the Super Bowl excitement, the commercial introduces a unique twist with a QR coat, inviting viewers to enter a “Super Bowl File” for a chance to win a staggering $1 million in a sweepstakes. This innovative approach not only captivates audiences but also offers them a potentially life-changing opportunity.

Quinta Brunson’s TurboTax commercial stands out in the Super Bowl lineup, merging humor, financial wisdom, and a dash of star power to create a memorable viewing experience that goes beyond mere entertainment to offer a shot at a $1 million prize.

Timothée Chalamet Teams Up With Cash App for Heirloom

TimothĂ©e Chalamet has teamed up with Cash App for Heirloom, a new two-minute film that doubles as a meditation on generational friction, the slow acceptance of digital money, and the quiet awkwardness of helping someone’s dad adopt tech he doesn’t trust.

Directed by longtime Chalamet collaborators Elijah Bynum and Aidan Zamiri (Object & Animal), Heirloom follows the Wonka

Judy Reyes Signs with Jill Fritzo Public Relations

Judy Reyes has signed with Jill Fritzo Public Relations, because when you’ve played everything from sitcom royalty to prestige-TV matriarchs, your publicist should be just as adaptable—and just as unmissable.

She continues to be represented by Buchwald and managed by ATA Management, holding onto a team that’s seen her navigate three decades of television with the kind of range most actors only dream about.

Reyes first became a household name as Nurse Carla Espinosa on Scrubs, injecting comedic timing and emotional weight into one of the most beloved medical comedies of its era. But she didn’t stop at sitcom status. Post-Scrubs, she pivoted hard into drama—anchoring Devious Maids, scene-stealing in Jane the Virgin, and proving she could do “complicated matriarch” in her sleep with Claws and HBO’s Succession (yes, she was there too—blinking and you’ll miss it is not her problem).

More recently, Reyes has been turning in quietly devastating work in critically acclaimed

Amy Brenneman Has Signed With Anonymous Content for Management

Amy Brenneman has signed with Anonymous Content for management, a move that pairs one of TV’s most enduring dramatic forces with a firm best known for shaping the prestige-TV-to-film-to-global-streaming crossover pipeline. You know—the good stuff.

Brenneman is probably on your mental IMDb for roles that were either heartbreaking, critically acclaimed, or some hybrid of both. She broke out on NYPD Blue in the ‘90s, created and starred in Judging Amy (based on her own mother, no less), and spent six spiritually chaotic seasons on Private Practice. More recently, she delivered a grief-laced gut punch as Laurie Garvey in The Leftovers, HBO’s existential apocalypse series that started weird and ended sublime.

She currently stars in Amazon’s The Horror of Dolores Roach and is set to appear in the upcoming indie drama Tinkers, alongside an ensemble of festival favorites.

Brenneman continues to be repped by CAA and Apex Public Relations, but Anonymous gives her a new vector: the kind of management firm that gets your drama into a film festival and your memoir optioned by A24 in the same month.

Adidas Taps Missy Elliott, Samuel L. Jackson, GloRilla, Jennie, and More for Its Latest Superstar Campaign

Adidas’ “Superstar” campaign returns with cinematic flair and an all-star cast, highlighting the timeless influence of its iconic sneaker. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, the campaign kicks off with a moody teaser titled “Pyramids,” which compares the shoe’s cultural permanence to, well, actual pyramids. “No Wi-Fi. No food court. But 4,000 years later, people still fly across the world to see ‘em,” Jackson quips.

The full spot, “Clocks,” ups the tempo and the roster. Music legends Missy Elliott, GloRilla, Teezo Touchdown, and BLACKPINK’s Jennie appear alongside NBA star Anthony Edwards, skateboarding icon Mark Gonzales, and model-actress Gabbriette.

The campaign—shot

Mike Epps Signs with Artists First for Management

The Upshaws are in their final season, but Mike Epps isn’t going anywhere.

The veteran comic and actor has signed with Artists First for management, joining a roster that leans into multi-hyphenates and comedy heavyweights. He continues to be repped by UTA across film and TV, IAG for comedy touring, and Kovert Creative for publicity.

And while a lot of comedians are going podcast-microphone-in-the-basement, Epps is still a stage guy. He recently headlined the Fireworks in Paradise Comedy Festival in the Bahamas, adding a little sun to his signature brand of grit-and-glam. Before that? He suited up as a guest sideline reporter for the Big 3, casually trading punchlines for play-by-play.

Epps currently stars in and executive produces Netflix’s The Upshaws, which just announced its fifth and final season. He also recently appeared in The Underdoggs alongside Snoop Dogg and can be seen in the docu-special Buying Back the Block on HGTV, a more personal lens into his off-stage mission.

If you forgot that Mike Epps also writes, in 2017

Travis Scott Enters His Smoothie Era with Erewhon Collab

Travis Scott is blending vibes—literally. The rapper and creative polymath has joined the Erewhon smoothie club with the debut of his first-ever signature drink: the “Storm Storm Smoothie,” named after his daughter, Stormi. Equal parts nutrient-dense and brand-aligned, the smoothie is the latest move in Scott’s ever-expanding empire of unexpected partnerships.

Curated by Scott himself (because of course), the drink brings his signature touch to Erewhon’s lineup—a menu already known for turning celebrity collaborations into $20 cultural events. He joins a tight club that includes BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Tyla, and Sabrina Carpenter, all of whom have previously lent their names (and presumably taste preferences) to the upscale grocery chain’s blender.

The Erewhon deal follows a bigger one: Scott was recently named Oakley’s first-ever Chief Visionary, tasked with shaping the brand’s creative future. And if you’re sensing a marketing wave building, you’re not wrong—Scott is also teasing the release

Shania Twain and Clearly Canadian Join Forces For New Campaign

In a campaign that feels like the closest thing to a national holiday for Gen X and elder millennials, Clearly Canadian has made a fizzy comeback—with Shania Twain in tow. The sparkling water brand, dormant in the ad world since 1991, is reintroducing itself with help from another icon who hasn’t aged a day and still knows how to sell a chorus: Twain, now rebranded as Canada’s most glamorous beverage bandit.

The commercial, produced by Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort, plays like a cross between Indiana Jones and a REI fever dream. Shania sprints through the woods, dodges imaginary bears, and commandeers a cooler full of Clearly Canadian with the grace of someone who’s absolutely been here

Jack Harlow and Endrick Appear in New Balance’s Latest Tennis-Inspired Spot

New Balance has a sneaker called the T-500, which is not a robot but a tennis shoe — and in its latest campaign, it turns out that tennis can, in fact, be played inside a shoebox. A real one. With real football phenom Endrick volleying around not with a racket, but a soccer ball, because the rules are flexible in surreal brand worlds.

The new installment in New Balance’s “Quiet Please” series places the Real Madrid-bound striker in the middle of a match that’s less Wimbledon and more meta-sport satire. The kicker? It’s all happening inside an oversized shoebox. Watching from the sidelines of this box-universe are Endrick himself (life-sized this time) and model Gabriely Miranda, lounging at a country

Damson Idris Signs with ID-PR, Expanding His Power Team Behind the Scenes

Damson Idris has signed with ID-PR for public relations, further rounding out a behind-the-scenes team that’s as calculated and polished as his rise to stardom. He continues to be repped by CAA for talent, managed by M88, and represented in the UK by Laraview—a boutique firm helmed by Aira Idris, who, yes, is likely family. Hollywood may be built on relationships, but this one’s literally in the bloodline.

The London-born actor has emerged as one of his generation’s most versatile and magnetic performers, thanks in large part to his breakout role as Franklin Saint on Snowfall—the critically acclaimed FX drama co-created by John Singleton. For fans of the show (and there are many, who knows I might even have it playing in the background while I’m writing this), Idris’ transformation from a bright, entrepreneurial teen into a haunted kingpin was a masterclass in narrative slow burn and emotional precision. It also turned him into a must-watch name for casting directors and streaming platforms alike.

Since Snowfall wrapped its final season in 2023, Idris hasn’t slowed down. He starred opposite Anthony Mackie in Netflix’s sci-fi action film Outside the Wire, executive

Golden Brooks Signs With Industry Entertainment

Golden Brooks, the actress beloved for her breakout role as Maya Wilkes on the seminal UPN/CW series Girlfriends, has signed with Industry Entertainment for management. She’ll be repped by Dana Sims, joining a roster known for guiding talent across both prestige TV and commercial hits.

Brooks, a trained dancer and Yale School of Drama alum, has long been celebrated for her sharp comedic timing and emotional depth—traits that made Girlfriends a cultural touchstone and her character a fan favorite during its eight-season run. In recent years, she’s continued to stack credits that showcase her range, from the Starz crime drama Power Book II: Ghost to the Disney Channel series Saturdays.

Beyond acting, Brooks has directed short films and participated in women-focused creative panels and mentorship initiatives. Her move to Industry signals a continued push into new territory—on and off screen—at a time when the original Girlfriends generation is seeing renewed interest from both audiences and Hollywood execs looking to mine nostalgia with purpose.

Jeremy Allen White Joins Louis Vuitton

Jeremy Allen White, the smoldering, stress-smoking soul of FX’s “The Bear,” has traded his chef’s apron for couture suiting as the newest brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton. It’s a move that makes sense if you’ve been watching White’s fashion arc—slowly sautĂ©ed over a few seasons of critical acclaim and served up at increasingly exclusive red carpets, where he’s swapped kitchen whites for pearl-buttoned tailoring and brooches bigger than the steaks Carmy never has time to plate.

This partnership became inevitable the moment he walked into the 2024 Met Gala in a custom Vuitton number designed by Pharrell: a pinstriped three-piece ensemble with just enough

Benson Boone Brings the Heartland to Hi-Fi in New JBL Campaign

Benson Boone—TikTok heartthrob turned chart-climbing crooner—is now adding “audio ambassador” to his rĂ©sumĂ©. The breakout singer has been announced as the new face of JBL’s summer campaign, marking a slick fusion of sound and sentimentality as the brand unveils its latest tech-forward lineup, including the Tour Pro 3 earbuds and the all-new Flip 7.

To kick off the partnership, Boone didn’t just post a selfie or toss up a story. Instead, he arrived at JBL’s SoHo store in a vintage convertible (because of course), blaring “Mystical Magical” from his debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades, while dishing out custom-designed JBL Flip 7 speakers to an eager crowd of fans. It was the kind of flash-mob moment that social strategists dream of—part activation, part love letter to the fandom, all very on-brand for Boone’s dreamy DIY aesthetic.

The collaboration is JBL’s latest swing at Gen Z relevance, and Boone, with his nearly 20 million monthly Spotify listeners and fast-climbing global recognition, is a well-calibrated bet. His debut album—released earlier this year—debuted to strong streaming numbers and fanfare, with hits like “Beautiful Things” and “Slow

Alec Baldwin Switches Agencies, Signs With UTA

In a move that feels half Shakespearean and half SNL cold open, Alec Baldwin has signed with UTA for representation. It’s not a reinvention per se—more like a veteran trading one agency playbook for another. Baldwin continues to be managed by Matt DelPiano, but with UTA now handling the deal flow, it’s clear he’s ready for a new chapter, or at least a tighter script.

Baldwin’s career, after all, doesn’t fit neatly into a single genre or awards category. Over the last four decades, he’s racked up three Emmys, three Golden Globes, and seven straight SAG Awards for transforming NBC’s 30 Rock into the Wall Street Journal of sitcoms. (If you were ever unsure what “vertical integration” meant, Jack Donaghy probably explained it to you, between scotches.)

He also landed an Oscar nomination for The Cooler, proved his stage chops with a Tony-nominated run in A Streetcar Named Desire, and took home an Emmy for impersonating a former president whose name we’ll just gently whisper into the cold void: “Trump.” Add to that a long-running podcast, Here’s the Thing, and a smattering of dramatic turns (The Hunt for Red October, Glengarry Glen

Rauw Alejandro x Buchanan’s: When the Grill Meets the Groove

Rauw Alejandro is back in our feed and this time, he’s not just dropping chart-toppers or flexing choreography sharp enough to slice air—he’s manning the grill. Kind of. The Puerto Rican reggaetonero has partnered with Buchanan’s whisky for its latest culinary-meets-cultura spectacle: the Asados Unidos campaign.

If you’re unfamiliar with the term asado, it’s basically barbecue—but make it Latin American, deeply emotional, and a battleground for generational grilling philosophies. Enter Buchanan’s, the Scotch brand with a Latin soul, whose entire brand identity now seems built around making whisky as comfortable at a backyard cookout as it is on a mahogany bar cart in the Andes.

The campaign’s core thesis is one part sociology seminar and one part travel ad: despite our differences in spice level, smoke preference, and playlist choices (Merengue or Bomba? Discuss), it’s Buchanan’s that brings us together. Rauw, of course, plays the cultural diplomat here—grilling with friends from Puerto Rico, Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico across a four-part video series that’s basically Anthony

Fuerza Regida and Dos Equis Want You to Stop Asking for Permission (or Forgiveness)

The name of the campaign is Ni Perdón Ni Permiso, which roughly translates to “No Forgiveness, No Permission.” And just in case that didn’t tip you off, the vibe here is: live loudly, unapologetically, and ideally with a Dos Equis in hand while Fuerza Regida blasts from the speakers.

Yes, Fuerza Regida, the chart-torching, genre-bending ambassadors of MĂșsica Mexicana’s new wave, have teamed up with Dos Equis for a full-throttle, confidence-as-a-lifestyle campaign aimed at turning everyday rebellion into branded content. And frankly, it’s kind of perfect. If any band can sell audacity, it’s the guys who just made Billboard history with a Spanish-language corrido album cracking the Billboard 200 at No. 2—before climbing to No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart days later. Oh, and did we mention they also topped Apple Music’s All-Genre and Latin Albums charts simultaneously? Casual.

The campaign isn’t just a vibe—it’s also an interactive talent search. Starting June 9, Dos Equis

Dakota Johnson Is Roberto Coin’s Newest Muse

Dakota Johnson has been named the global brand ambassador for Italian luxury jewelry house Roberto Coin, in a deal that runs through May 2027. Which is perfect, because if there’s anyone who knows how to stretch a campaign across award seasons, it’s the woman who made press tours for “Madame Web” feel like they deserved their own red carpet circuit.

The new campaign, lensed by fashion photography titan Craig McDean, features Johnson wrapped in Coin’s signature designs and the seductive, shimmering backdrops of Venice—a city that, like Dakota, knows how to do drama, glamour, and quiet prestige without needing to shout.

This isn’t Johnson’s first foray into luxury sparkle—she’s previously aligned herself with Gucci and Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi—but this marks her deepest dive yet into fine jewelry. Beyond print spreads and moody gondola shots, the partnership will also see her

Paige Bueckers Just Made Radiant Lilac Feel Like a Championship Ring.

In its quest to reclaim the misunderstood corners of the paint wheel, Sherwin-Williams has crowned Radiant Lilac SW 0074 as the Loneliest Color of 2025. Which is poetic branding for “no one’s buying this.” But instead of slapping it on an accent wall and hoping for the best, the company leaned all the way in — painting a broader message about visibility, marginalization, and of course, women’s basketball.

Enter Paige Bueckers, the No. 1 pick in this year’s WNBA Draft, rising star

Gemma Chan Joins Cartier as Its Latest Brand Ambassador

Yes, Gemma Chan is now officially a brand ambassador for Cartier. Though let’s be honest: this was less of a surprise and more of a coronation. The Crazy Rich Asians and Captain Marvel star has been wearing Cartier’s pieces for years like she had tenure — from the Grand Düner du Louvre (aka Paris’ fanciest dinner flex) to the opening of the Cartier exhibition at the V&A, where diamonds and museum lighting do the heavy lifting together.

But now, she’s not just a guest. She’s the face.

Cartier doesn’t just pick ambassadors. It appoints them, like royalty, or permanent members of the UN Security Council. Which is why the maison’s newest announcement lands with the kind of sparkle that can only come from two high jewelry rings in an official portrait and a Hollywood star who’s always made elegance look easy.

The campaign she fronts draws on the “En Équilibre” concept — which roughly translates to “in balance,” and also happens to describe Gemma Chan’s whole aesthetic: poised

Pamela Anderson Signs New Endorsement Deal with Biolage

Pamela Anderson is now officially your hair’s spiritual advisor.

In what might be the most unexpected brand-first-meets-career-second-act alignment of 2024, Biolage has named the 57-year-old icon its first-ever global ambassador—a sentence that somehow feels both overdue and perfectly timed. It’s the first ambassador deal of this scale for Biolage in 30 years, and also Anderson’s first foray into the haircare ad space. Which, when you think about it, is kind of wild. The woman defined beach hair.

The debut campaign—titled “The BS Campaign (Biolage Science)” because subtlety is dead—drops June 2 and will spotlight the brand’s bestselling Hydra Source collection, because if there’s one thing Pamela Anderson has taught us, it’s that you can survive literal tidal waves and still come out with glossy, frizz-free ends.

But make no mistake: this isn’t just a nostalgic play. Anderson’s post-documentary renaissance has become a masterclass in reclaimed narrative.
