People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" Issue Turns 25, Celebrates With TV Special



People's "Sexiest Man Alive" issue will be celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and ABC will help the publication make the milestone an extra-special occasion.

Kim Kardashian will host an hour-long special on the making of the issue, including an inside look at the selection process.

Mel Gibson was the first man to be featured on an issue which included the "Sexiest Man Alive" phrase, and the issue has been a bestseller ever since.

To date, the issue with John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1988 has been the top seller with Tom Cruise's issue in 1990 coming in a close second.

In a new, charitable twist, People Magazine has partnered with CharityBuzz to let people have the chance to bid on expectations with past finalists.

As the WSJ reported, these experiences include a swimming lesson with Michael Phelps to a polo match with newly engaged Prince William.

In An Absolut World: Vodka Brand Takes Over Bus Shelters



Waiting for a bus is rarely exciting or glamorous, and it can even drive some to hit the bottle after a long day of commuting. And Absolut vodka is going to make sure that doesn't change anytime soon.

The vodka giant launched an outdoor advertising campaign in Chicago recently which included decorating nine bus shelters to promote flavors like "Lemon Drop" and "Bloody."

Sounds like a creative way to catch the attention of potential customers, no? Well get this - one shelter even offers commuters sleek chairs with yellow cushions and is covered with bright yellow neon paint. There is even a lemon tree growing out of the top of the shelter!

Sue Anderson, a creative director at TBWA/Chiat/Day, the agency behind the promotion had this to say about the campaign:

"It's a way to make consumers feel like they are experiencing that cocktail."

Absolut is currently considering an expansion of the program to New York and Los Angeles.
