The whole CGI-enabled "babies talking and/or acting like adults" thing kinda creeps me out, and this ad for Evian, in which babies are doing rollerskate stunts and breakdancing to "Rapper's Delight," is no exception. That said, it's pretty seamless, definitely hilarious (love the cocky "What?" stance at 0:43), and a marked improvement on the ho-hum synchronized swimming Evian ad from a couple months ago. Plus, they toss in a few giggles, coos, and toddles to help cute it up a bit. Definitely a clever way to hammer home Evian's "Live Young" slogan and help bring a hip-hop coolness to a brand that could still benefit from anything that helps shed its lingering Yuppie-Water stigma. What think ye?

Farewell, Ed McMahon: I'm melting a cufflink for ya
Life in show business was pretty good for most of Ed McMahon‘s long, full life. That financial snag he hit recently — the one that almost forced him to lose his home — kinda mucked it up for him a bit. So what’s a late-night vet to do when his personal woes become fodder for late-night jokes? Mine it for comedy (and cash), of course. McMahon proved he kept his sense of humor right up to the end, hawking everythingfrom his gold hip replacement to his giant gold toilet (“good-bye,old friend”) in that very funny Cash4Gold Super Bowl commercial. No matter what private difficulties he may have been suffering, he was still an old-school showman and a first-rate ham who needed attention, no matter what his circumstances. And you best believe he was getting paid right up ’til the end, too. “Heeeeeeere’s Money!” BOOM!
Say hi to Johnny for us, Ed.

Adam Lambert on '20/20': Still gay, but he has made out with girls
We already got the shocking, NO-WAY! reveal in Rolling Stone — American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is gay. Still, as Chris Connolly points out in the video embedded here, last night on 20/20 was the first time he talked about it on TV. Oh! Well that is an event. The seven-plus-minute segment didn't unearth much — he's gay, he didn't want to put it all out there during the Idol competition, he played dress-up as a kid. There is a sentimental-piano-backed moment where his mom lovingly and casually talks about supporting her son throughout his life. I guess if I had to pick one highlight from the interview, it was the moment he provided hope for all the swooning tween girls unbothered by the fact that Adam likes boys: "I wouldn't ever give myself the label bisexual, but bi-ciurous, yeah. I've been known to make out with girls from time to time. Couple drinks invovled, you know, it's fun. And who knows, maybe it'll go further someday, I dunno. Who's the lucky woman…" Keep those gals-a-gushin'. Smart move, Glambert.

Megan Fox and her little black dress: Hotter than Angelina Jolie?
Well, this week, now that Fox has titilated the entire planet, I'm starting to wonder if Fox was right. First, she showed up at the Tokyo premiere for Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen showing a whole lotta gams in this purple dress, then yesterday, at the Seoul premiere, she popped my eyes out yet again rocking the black dress pictured here. Jolie can certainly pull it off physically, but I'm not sure she could wear that sheer dress without it coming off as somehow beneath a woman of her Oscar-winning stature. Jolie is elegant, classy, Hollywood royalty, which his precisely why I bristled when Angie-Come-Lately Megan Fox dissed her. But at the same time, in terms of pure, unadulterated "hot" factor, Fox has definitely taken hold of a certain je ne sais quoi that Jolie may have left behind. Certainly, we all want to gawk at post-event red carpet photos of Angie looking fabulous with Brad, but she doesn’t generate the same kind of in-the-moment buzz that Fox gets sporting that black number last night. Looked at another way, Changeling may have been a better movie than Transformers, but it’s pretty obvious which of the two made more "hot" lists. I’m still not giving Fox “hotter than Angelina” status just yet. But yeah, I’m getting there…
So what of it, PopWatchers? Is Megan Fox hotter than Angelina Jolie? Which do we like better, the purple or the black dress?
