This ad is at least a year old. It is identical to her video for the song "Upgrade you" from her last album. When this ad was released, it was promotong her song and was a series of Direct TV ads taking movie clips/songs and computer graphics to make it seem as if they were really promoting Direct TV in their product, i.e, the Poltergeist ad and Chevy Chase ad with Christie Brinkley. No harm....no foul. It wasnt just another ad (creative in my opinion) for Direct TV.
Did you see the ad that's a direct rip at the Cialis ads, where the guy says he got satellite to give him a bigger package? Same music, same set up. Pretty funny.
I never thought Beyonce had to resort to "booty shaking;" not in her music, product endorsements, or on Oprah. She is much too blessed, beautiful & talented to have to use her body to sell anything.
Beyonce's ad is the best thing on televison. Makes me look every time.
Jen, are you serious? This is what you decided to write about. Are you being paid for this rubbish?
Jenice....Get over it dear. This commercial is at least a year old. If you are just noticing this commercial, I can see why the DN limits you to writing these nonsense articles to take up space.

Jenice Armstrong: Remember the Miss Black America pageant? Organizers want to bring it back. Should they? Or has the pageant outlived its purpose?

NEWSPAPERS have long enjoyed dueling images - one as bastions of gentlemanlike civility and the other as busy, cluttered places where gruff city editors chain-smoked and cussed out reporters whenever they felt like it.

LIKE THE TITLE character in "Precious," the new Lee Daniels' film, this 14-year-old Philadelphia girl had been raped by a relative and infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Jenice Armstrong: It was kind of like being at a Tupperware party but instead of the focus being on plastic containers, the conversation centered on sex.

FIRST LADY Michelle Obama graces the cover of the December issue of Glamour. What's even more interesting is that in the accompanying article, she gives dating advice. Given that all the single women I know who are searching for their own version of Barack Obama, her advice is worth paying attention to.

Can't we all just get along? Not if one of us is from Philly and the other's from New York, with the Phils and Yankees squaring off tonight. Jenice Armstrong talks about how her house has been divided, and Stu Bykofsky, a Philly institution who grew up in the Bronx, has practically become a house divided against itself. Do you have New York friends, or a Yankees fan at home?
