Microsoft and Dell have pledged to donate a portion of the proceeds sold for each (Product) RED item to HIV-prevention and treatment initiatives for kids and adults in the form of Global Fund grants. From Dell’s side, we get the (Product) RED XPS M1530 and XPS M1330 notebooks, the XPS One All-in-One PC, and a 948 all-in-one printer. They won’t run on just any version of Windows - no sir, these will be using a special version of Windows Vista Ultimate that comes with special gadgets, screen backgrounds and screen savers. Each laptop sold will see $50 being donated, although the XPS One gives out $30 more on top of that. Go ahead - buy one of these today and feel good knowing you have helped in some way to join the fight against HIV.

Vaseline has a new marketing campaign.  They’re challenging customers to guess the identity of the mystery celebrity in their new campaign.

Any guesses?  The answer is after the jump.

It’s Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Gellar, who reportedly has had no nudity clauses written into film contracts, shows off her flawless skin in the ad, but not her face.

The masseuse who found Heath Ledger’s body called Mary-Kate Olsen (a friend of his) before calling 911.

“Heath is unconscious, I don’t know what to do!” Diane Lee Wolozin screamed to Olsen during her first phone call to her.

Moments later, Wolozin realized he might be dead, so she calls Olsen AGAIN.

Her third call was to 911.

Genius!

Have no fear — Vincent Gallo isn’t going to become the next Tim Allen — one of those unlikely men whose interesting past is buried as they become a bright and shiny Disney name. And no, this new project is not a big-screen version of the Canadian TV drama. Metropia is gearing up to be adult fare with a Swedish twist, and Variety reports that Gallo and Juliette Lewis are leading the film’s voice cast.

According to ATMO… “Metropia is taking place in a not-so-distant, terrifying Europe. The world is running out of oil, and the net of undergrounds has been connected, creating a gigantic web underneath Europe. Roger from Farsta (a suburb of Stockholm) tries to stay away from the underground. He think it’s unpleasant and he sometimes hears strange voices in his head.” Then, this dude finds out that every detail of his life is being controlled. (But I ask, if every detail was controlled, could you actually discover that and change it?) The best part: “To succeed, he needs supermodel Nina to help him. Or, is it maybe Nina that needs Roger?” The best way to survive the scary future: supermodels!

Since Gallo and Lewis are leading the voice cast, I imagine they will be Roger and Nina. Are they the people you would pick for a guy suffering from strange voices and a future-saving supermodel? Joining them — Udo Kier, Stellan Skarsgard, Sofia Helin, Shanti Roney, and Alexander Skarsgard. In the works for a handful of years now, this project should be pretty interesting — the plan is to blend live action with animation, and Tarik Saleh, the film’s director, says: “The border between animation and regular fiction film is blurring. In the future, the audience will not categorize films in the way we tend to do today. Metropia is steps ahead.” Well, we’ll find out fairly soon — the film’s release is slated for Spring 2009.

We’re always excited when a new studio forms and plots its plan of attack for the video game industry. We’re a couple of years late, though. nDreams formed in 2006 thanks to former SCi/Eidos creative director, Patrick O’Luanaigh, but hasn’t really done anything yet. However, they’ve wrapped up a deal with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and we have no idea what to expect.

nDreams was listed in Develop magazine as one of the hot companies to look for in 2008. Apparently they craft stories and games in ways that push the envelope, or go against the formula, or something. But what caught our eye is their ability to work with advertisers. Maybe SCEE wants a game or two, but maybe Sony itself wants to get some help in attracting advertisers to the PlayStation Network, particularly Home. It’s anyone’s guess until we get more information.

Doesn’t this sound familiar? The oft-delayed Haze allows us to almost copy-paste a story we ran last year.

Looks like the somewhat-exclusive PS3 shooter Haze is delayed again. According to a statement by Ubisoft today, they revealed that the game will arrive Q4 of their fiscal calendar some time during their 2008-2009 fiscal year. Ubisoft fans can look forward to Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Lost instead.

We haven’t seen much of Free Radical’s shooter in the past few months, which has us wondering what’s going on with the game. While we’re assuming the game will still release this year (the next fiscal year begins in April), we’re certain that many PS3 fans are quite upset to hear this news.
