LONDON – Dragon’s Den entrepreneur Levi Roots is planning to move into the chilled foods market following the success of his Reggae Reggae Sauce.

Puff Daddy is releasing a new fragrance, “I Am King.” He’s kicking off the launch of this egocentric fragrance with a billboard in Times Square. Meanwhile, perfumers are pissed that Diddy keeps ripping of his scents. Still, consumers loved his women’s fragrance, Unforgivable, stolen or not.

“The billboard portrays Sean “Diddy” Combs dressed in a sleek, white tuxedo, with an image of his new men’s fragrance, I Am King. Impeccably put together, he is the ultimate man of power. He is daring and mysterious, refined and sexy.”

Oh my god. Barf and barfier. The billboard is located at Broadway and 47th Street in New York City if you must go see it. He is tying this image of a high rolling, James Bond casino style mogul to Obama.

“When you see Barack Obama, you see a strong, elegant black man and when people see my ad, it’s almost like that’s the trend,” he said in an interview.

Diddy is so Sarah Palin. That sentence barely makes sense. Neither do many of his videos on YouTube. How he manages all these businesses? No idea, but you know – bully to him for keeping the money pump pumping.

Sean is now also pursuing an acting career. Did we learn nothing from DMX? Just because you can rap does not mean that you’re going to be the next Will Smith, the next mega-star. Take it slow Seany. Real slow.

Two key players shaping Detroit’s social media strategy, Ford’s Scott Monty and GM’s Christopher Barger, appeared on The BeanCast, this week to talk about their social media efforts for the auto industry, the proposed bailout and that private jet fiasco.

Ah,
those wacky, progressive Swedes. The Stockholm-based fashion house
Bjorn Borg, which makes clothing, shoes, eyeglasses and such, has
released a commercial in which two male priests are married in a church by a female priest.
At one point, the men of the cloth swap some spit. The theme of the
campaign is “Love for all.” The swingin’ firm has launched a dating
site (I’m guessing Anna Kournikova’s not using it) and plans to
introduce “Lucky Underwear” in the near future. The impious effort
comes as the company’s namesake is generating some press by playing in big-money exhibitions
in Asia this week with ’80s nemesis John McEnroe and current racquet
kings Roger Federer and James Blake. None of them smooched after their
matches, in case you were wondering. Also, since I’m almost certainly
going to hell just for watching the spot, I’d like to add one more
thing: That lady priest is kinda hot.

First off, I was surprised to see that Japan imports 64%…

Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide has named Tham Khai Meng as its Worldwide Creative Director and Chairman of its World Wide Creative Council. Meng is a big ass baller with awards and juries snug beneath his belt.

Khai has been running Ogilvy Asia Pacific since 1999. Shelly Lazarus, Chairman and CEO of Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide, said,
“Khai’s record speaks for itself. He gets results. He believes in great work that works. And above all, he is an Ogilvy ‘gentleman with brains’ to his bones.”

How poetic. Still, what the hell is an Ogilvy gentleman? Is he opening doors for the ladies of the office? Serving stiff brandies to potential clients? Simply, not following the Dentsu mold of client services? What? What does that mean?
