Chris Farley And David Spade Direct TV Ad
Posted on 27. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
Direct TV brought back the late Chris Farley in their new ad campaign and has viewers in a twist citing that it is tasteless and insensitive. But this won’t be the first time the company has used dead celebrities to hype their products. Last year, the company was under attack after featuring Heather O’ Rourke in ‘The Poltergeist’ — she died in 1988 at the age of 12.
I’m not bothered by the ad- I think that it was done with the right person, David Spade. Spade was clearly closer to Farley than any of us and if he thought it was a fitting tribute then so do I. He says at the end of the commercial laughing at Farley, ‘never gets old’ which I thought was a great way for a friend to acknowledgment the hilarity that was Chris Farley.
Spades rep released this statement on behalf of David:
“When DIRECT TV came to me and the Farley family with this idea about ‘Tommy Boy,’ we talked and thought it would be a cool way to remind people just how funny Chris was. It is a clever homage to my friend and a movie that we loved doing, ” he says.

Lizzie McGuire’s a real big spender.
Actress Hilary Duff, who famously feuded with her Bonnie And Clyde predecessor Faye Dunaway earlier this year, is earning a reputation as one of Tinseltown’s biggest tippers.
Hils never tips fives, tens, or even twenties–oh no–nothing but hundreds will do for the 21-year-old daughter of a former makeup artist, who was often on the receiving end of lousy tips.
Star Magazine spies dish:
After getting her hair dyed and styled at the Byron and Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills, the singer left an extra $200 on top of a $250 bil.
“She slips hundreds to everyone, from valets and restroom attendants to Starbucks cashiers,” says a pal.
Way to go Hilary! I always like to hear about generosity from stars!

David Spade $100,000 Donation to Phoenix Police Department

This is very cool.
David Spade is one Hollywood star who still remembers that the holidays are really all about the spirit of giving. And with that spirit in mind, after hearing that some local cops had to pay for their guns out of their own pockets, the Rules of Engagement star opened up his wallet and donated $100,000 to the Phoenix Police Department to go toward the purchase of about 50 AR-15 rifles.
“These guys need to be able to do their jobs, and I am just happy I could help,” David, who grew up in Scottsdale and graduated from Arizona State University, said in a statment Monday.
A police spokesman said the department was very grateful for the helping hand.
