Hi everybody who loves IHOP, college basketball, is a fan of mine, or just wanted to see some pics of a babe.  My Mary Clark IHOP sportscaster character is back with a new commercial titled  ”Final Favorites”  to announce my final pick.

ihop-final-favorites-college-basketball-rebecca-grant

The IHOP commercial was released after last weeks “ Eggstatic 8″  Breakfast Bracketology commercial for IHOP.  I really take over in this new commercial as my co-host is way to busy stuffing his face with IHOP pancakes. People really want to win breakfast for a year at IHOP, so the campaign has been very successful.

We all knew Kentucky was in the finals and would most likely win the college championship game. Kansas was a bit of a surprise if you follow all the sports talking heads and the no it all’s, but if you look at consistency, Kansas is usually on everybodies list and brackets.

ihop brackets

I was kind of rooting for Ohio State, just because Kansas will be losing anyway to Kentucky in the big game, and partly because I wanted to see a change of tempo to that of half court Big 10 style. Ohio State deserved to lose after self destructing in the second half with such a demoralizing lead.

Most people in the country who follow college basketball had Kentucky to win it all, a long long time ago. Do you have them winning, or was your bracket ruined a long long time ago?

Follow me on Twitter and like my facebook fan page. To win breakfast for a year, go to IHOP’s facebook page and play Breakfast Bracketology.

Rebecca Grant Audi commercial for Fletcher Jones Audi of Beverly Hills.

Women are buying cars:

A new study by an automotive industry analyst says: 38.5 percent of all new vehicle registrations in the United States are attributed to women. The analyst added that the rate of women buyers, keeps going up each year. Car dealerships know who is buying their vehicles, and they also know that people who drive Audi are amongst the most beautiful behind the wheel. A new survey brings to light the idea of who’s sexier behind the wheel, and according to a UK firm, Audi drivers are more physical appealing. Confused.com says 21 per cent of men rated women Audi drivers as the sexiest – and women agreed, voting male Audi drivers top with 31 per cent.

Luxiourous travelling is important for when I travel the world exclusively in first class, but is equally important when riding locally near my home. When I found out fletcher jones opened an Audi dealership in Beverly Hills, California, I had to check them out. Audi has always been one of my favorite automobiles, because of their attention to detail and their approach to style, handling and power. The Fletcher Jones commercial came about because I am really into cars with power and style and they wanted someone with the sincerity and honesty to really desire an Audi. I showed up to the video shoot in my St. Johns dress, and they went crazy for it, and told me not to change a thing. The commercial turned out great and I had a great time driving the Audi TT RS around Beverly Hills. Follow me on twitter and make sure to like me on facebook.

Dungeon Siege III and the hot babe heroine Katarina

dungeon-siege-iii-katarina-rebecca-grant

The main differences in Katarina’s character and other video game characters, is the length and depth that Square Enix and Dark Horse Comics took to not only give the origins of Katarina, but actually visit her as a 4 year old child, to show how she used her powers as a child. Not since Superman and Superboy has a comic book and video game gone to such lengths to give the full background story for a larger than life character. Katarina is special because nothing was spared, when it came to the character development of the heroine Katarina, from the video game Dungeon Siege III. (DS3)

While the video game is now on sale, we expect many more images of Katarina in the very near future. Come back to the website to see more photos, screen captures and and wallpaper of the the video game heroine Katarina in ds3

Help Katarina!!!                        Help Rebecca Grant!!!

We are trying to get the word out about how good ds3 is, and about the Katarina character played by Rebecca Grant. If you post links about Rebecca Grant and Katarina and this post to forums, facebook walls, twitter, and any other high traffic sites, and you refer the most visitors, Rebecca will send you an autographed 8 x 10 photo. (this contest will run every week, with a new winner chosen each week) winners will be verified by site traffic analytics, and the top referral will be posted at the bottom of this post, or a new post with winners names, handles or avatar will be published. You can also send a tweet to @rebeccagrants with the link you placed.

Dungeon Siege III (ds3) is also a comic book

katarina-at 4-years-old in the comic book

Three web comic books will be released weekly, each introducing one of the four playable heroes from the upcoming game, making this an absolutely essential experience for players. Then with the release of the video game Dungeon Siege III on June 21, 2011 an all-new, full-color print comic introducing the fourth character will be packaged with Dungeon Siege III exclusively at Wal-mart.

The Dungeon Siege III web comic will deliver three exciting vignettes by writer Jeremy Barlow (Star Wars: Rebellion) and artists Iban Coello (Iron Man: Iron Protocols) and Sergio Abad (Transformers: Prime). This will be the first comic to be available digitally through www.digital.darkhorse.com.

We are looking forward to seeing a square enix display of Dungeon Siege III at  Comic-Con International on July 21-24, 2011 (preview night on the 20th) San Diego, CA

Why do people fantasize about video game characters like Katarina?

While teens and adults fanatasize about video game characters, Rebecca Grant as Katarina will make fanatsies come to life, as the character lives in the same way that Angelina Jolie brought Lara Croft to life. A very important fact is that both Lara Croft and Katarina are designed and developed by the same video game company Square Enix. The book Why We Hate Us: American Discontent in the New Millennium, discusses video game players (gamers) and other peoples’ inability to differentiate real people and objects from fictional people and objects seen in television, films, and video games. The book attempts to explain why so many teenage boys have crushes on video game characters, citing the tagline used for the above-mentioned article which reads “Virtually Sexy: Katarina is there for you when the real babes aren’t.” An editor for a newspaper on college campuses stated that characters like Katarina are cited as primary examples of a character who is in control of her sexuality, but added that this was only due to her “coy desirability”.
People who read the Dungeon Siege III comic book series, will feel like they have known Katarina, her whole life.

Will Katarina become an action figure collectible?

In the world of action figures, we see the need for the Katarina character to come to life as a toy action figure, complete with two removable pistols and a diorama display base.

Who is Katarina?
Katarina is the illegitimate daughter of Hugh Montbarron – the former Grand Master of the Legion – and a Lescanzi witch. Her mother’s people are nomads and wanderers, distrusted by many people in Ehb… but they are skilled in both warfare and magic, and Katarina has been trained in their ways.

Katarina takes a thoroughly practical approach to conflict resolution: stay out of sword’s reach, and settle your problems with firearms. With her rifle in hand, she can fell distant foes, and even the most resilient enemy can be brought down by her ensorcelled bullets and debilitating curses. When forced into close combat, Katarina uses sorcery and a pair of short-range shotguns to repel attackers.

Dungeon Siege III, developed by Obsidian Entertainment, Inc., arrives on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and on Windows-based PCs on June 21, 2011. The three Dungeon Siege III comics are now available for free download on DungeonSiege.com at the Dark Horse Digital Store www.digital.darkhorse.com

Will Katarina become the next Lara Croft?

When you hear the name Lara Croft, you might think “what a babe”, “what a body” This is what a woman of action is supposed to look like. Perfect proportion. In the book “The Art of Virtual Seduction” by Mark Cohen, he describes Lara Croft as much more than a virtual heroine of a video game series. Lara Croft is a role model, industry spokesperson, actress, and seductress. Take an in-depth look at the making of this digital celebrity and her world-wide rise to stardom. Everyone knows how to make this tomb raider jump, shimmy, and swim, but do you know what makes her tick? We think that Dungeon Siege III’s heroine Katarina, is equal in many ways to Lara Croft.

In the book: Lara’s Book – Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider Phenomenon by Kip Ward and Douglas Coupland, they explore the digital love affair people have with the character.

Lara_Croft_Sex_Appeal

Lara Croft is much more than the sum of her 38,000 polygons. Having jumped out of her virtual 3D environment and into the real world saturated with magazines and rock concerts, Lara has taken on a life of her own. With countless Web sites, fan letters, merchandise, TV commercials, and comic books dedicated to the worship of the world’s digital Diva, Lara’s fandom has swept the globe. Get to know the real Lara Croft-a fearless, tough, and completely loveable femme fatale!

Douglas Coupland turns his keen eye to the world’s love affair with pop culture icon Lara Croft of the fabulously successful Tomb Raider video games.

In another book about the sexy phenom Lara Croft intitled: Lara Croft: Cyber Heroine (Electronic Mediations) by Sue-Ellen Case, she describes Lara Croft as an international celebrity.

In Sue-Ellen’s book, The virtual archaeologist-adventuress has been featured in various sequels to the original game, a line of action figures, two Hollywood films starring Angelina Jolie, forty comic books, a series of novels, and a variety of clothing, merchandise, and ephemera. She has appeared on the covers of Time and Newsweek, spawned innumerable Internet fan sites and a library of adulatory fan fiction, become a pornographic sex symbol, and even inspired a look-alike beauty pageant. Astrid Deuber-Mankowsky’s groundbreaking study examines Lara Croft as a cyber heroine – a female body ubiquitously inhabited by game players, an icon of both female strength and male objectification, and the virtual future of fame. Despite Croft’s prominence there have been few critical inquiries into her bridging of the boundary between virtual and real worlds or the extent to which she reflects and influences the image of women in digital media.

Lara_Croft_by_Laciboj

What were the marketing strategies and frenzy that precipitated the Lara Croft phenomenon? For girls and women, Croft is a symbol of empowerment, a tough and self-assured riot grrl who has opened up the overwhelmingly masculinized world of computer gaming to female participants. At the same time, she personifies both heterosexual male fantasies and the twinned processes of globalization and cultural imperialism. Drawing on feminist and cultural studies, Deuber-Mankowsky sees Croft as symptomatic of the new media environment and its tendency to erase all qualitative difference, even sexual difference.

The Academy Awards always manages to be one big fashion show, with the top designers fighting to be seen. Fashion houses such as Valentino, Lanvin, Chole, Dolce Gabana, Chanel and Dior always manage to have some A lister in their gowns.

The celebrity women, don’t just stop at wearing top designers gowns. Their on a fucking mission to find the perfect shoes, jewelry, and handbag to make their jaw dropping entrance on the red carpet.

Lets talk about Designer Shoes.
I can’t wait to see the shoes, from Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Miu Miu and of course YSl make them look perfect.

Diamonds are a girls best friend.
Necklaces with diamonds make the star sparkle and adding Harry Winston, Bulgari, Cartier, Asprey will make them look like a million bucks.

Whats in your bag?
Jeweled hand bags and clutches finish off the ensemble . Hand bags from Katherine Baumann, Chanel, Anya Heindrike are beautiful and just big enough for a lipstick, ID,  mirror, pills and maybe a tampon.

Who was the stylist behind the look?
Celebrity stylists like Rachel Zoe, Jessica Paster and others who make the perfect look.

Can’t wait to see who shows up on the worst dress list. Do they do that on purpose?
