Dean Martin - Forever Cool: Pollard Banknote acquires licensing rights from the Dean Martin family trust
WINNIPEG, Oct. 30 /CNW/ - In a deal with the Dean Martin Family Trust,
Pollard Banknote has secured the U.S. and Canadian licensing rights to market
instant games based on the broad appeal of Dean Martin, the King of Cool.
No other entertainment superstar brings together easygoing charm, playful
wit, and gracious humility as seamlessly as the media-acclaimed "coolest man
who ever lived." Sixty-five years after his debut at New York's Riobamba Club,
Dean Martin's contributions to modern entertainment via his legendary music,
stage, film, and television career are evidenced by his popularity with over
50 million records sold worldwide, 35 top-ten singles, 250 magazine-cover
appearances, 55 films, and 61 TV shows.
"Music's powerful ability to trigger emotions and attract players makes
it the ultimate marketing tool. And no one tops Dean Martin when it comes to
class, recognition, and staying power," said Sina Aiello, Director, Licensed
Products, Pollard Banknote. "From his career breakthrough in 1943 to his Las
Vegas Rat Pack heydays in the 1960s, Dean Martin's influence on the
entertainment world is legendary. Today, with an iTunes Top 5 CD, he remains
just as relevant as he was nearly 45 years ago when he outsold The Beatles at
the height of Beatlemania."
As hip as ever, his music is featured in many popular films, such as
Swingers, Return To Me, and Mickey Blue Eyes, hit TV shows like "Friends,"
"ER," and "Las Vegas," and in numerous commercials. 'Dean Martin - Forever
Cool,' 2007's posthumous hit CD/DVD, includes diverse new duets with
contemporary hit-makers, among them Martina McBride, Joss Stone, and
Robbie Williams.
The Dean Martin brand fits perfectly with Pollard Banknote's array of
nostalgia-inspired properties and offers an abundance of promotional options -
from CD collections and DVDs to grand prize and second chance draw
possibilities incorporating home theatre packages and exclusive VIP trips to
Las Vegas.
Pollard Banknote offers a completely integrated marketing solution for
licensed games, including ticket design and manufacturing, prize structure
consultation, merchandise selection and fulfillment, publicity and promotional
opportunities, and second chance draw process management (including all
customer service, Internet marketing, and post-game analysis).

Writing Dean Martin book cathartic, funnyman Lewis says
Posted Tue Oct 28, 2008 12:07pm AEDT


Veteran funnyman Jerry Lewis says writing a book dedicated to former partner Dean Martin was important.

Lewis, 82, is on the Gold Coast as part of Australian concert tour.

He and Martin ended their stormy partnership in the 1950s.

Lewis says his book, Dean And Me, was a chance to demonstrate his respect for the singer.

"It was important enough to sit there and grind out the time and battle the memory to find and remember and do," he said.

"It was a tremendous cathartic [experience] for me."

Lewis, meanwhile, says people should be honoured while they are alive.

"I have been for most of my life dead-set against funerals. I think it's uncivilised," he said.

"If you want to pay respect to someone, don't wait until they croak. Do it while they're here, that's what I believe and that's what I do.

"So if I hear someone's gonna die, right away I run over and tell them nice stuff fast while they're here."

ME & MY NEW BFF REGIS PHILBIN
WHAT A COOL DAY TUESDAY WAS!

So we get our tickets to LIVE with Regis and Kelly, and Jeff has this big idea that I should get my picture taken with the big Dean Martin stand-up that Bert sent to Regis as a thank you for mentioning The Bert Show on LIVE a few months back. He called the show publicist and shared his idea, but as it was a last-minute request, we didn't expect anything to come of it.

My friend and I get to the studio before 8, as instructed. I give my name to the attendant, and he asks us to stand to the side. A few minutes later, the publicist for LIVE (hi, Barbara!) comes down and tells us that we can take the picture with Dean - in Regis' office! - after the show. Of course, we asked about a pictures with Regis and Kelly and she said that wouldn't happen, as they had a post-show event as soon as the broadcast ends. Then she walked us over to the line and put us right at the front, and when we got in the studio (which is much smaller in person, by the way) they sat us front-row center.

The music starts and Regis and Kelly come out and LIVE begins. We were only about 5 feet from them and it was awesome. During the first commercial break, Regis and Kelly get out of their seats and come right up to audience and talk to everyone. Then we are back on and Vanessa Hudgens comes out and she is REALLY pretty in person.

And then, it starts to get REALLY fun. After Vanessa, Regis and Kelly get up from their seats and come right over to ME. Regis introduces himself and then says something about the Dean Martin thing. Kelly introduces herself and says something about the High-Heel-A-Thon (that was the reason Regis was on with the Bert Show, that started the whole Dean Martin thing.) I have to be honest ... I was starstruck! Don't know why, because normally I don't get that way! Maybe it was the live show, or that they were taking time out DURING the show to talk to only me, but I don't remember the particulars of what we said. They were totally nice, and I was able to introduce them to my friend, and then the break was over and they went back to the desk and the show continued.

Fast-forward past the other guests (Gavin Rossdale totally hot) and now it's the end of the show. We stand where we were told to stand, and an intern comes to take us to Regis' office and Dean! We walk down a back hallway, and standing at the elevator is REGIS! He asked if we were on way to his office, and told us HE would take us! We hop in the elevator WITH REGIS and he was SO NICE and SO FRIENDLY and is talking to us like we are old friends. We get off the elevator and start weaving through the cubicles to Regis' office. Sure enough, Dean was waiting for us!

Regis couldn't have been nicer. He posed for pictures, told us funny stories, asked about our visit to NY, and was as nice as can be.


After about 15 minutes, we thanked him and headed out ... where we ran into Kelly! She, too, was AWESOME. She asked about the pic with Dean and thanked us for coming to the show. BUT WE FORGOT TO GET A PICTURE WITH KELLY RIPA! Arrrrrgh!

But the excitement didn't end there.

After we left the studio, we wanted to find a Starbucks to sit and review the great morning. So we started walking, and I was calling Jeff and friends to share the experience. I was standing in front of Starbucks when I saw David Muir. I hung up on the person I was talking with.

Who is David Muir, you ask? Well, he's a reporter and anchor for ABC News. He was also Jeff's best friend in high school. Jeff's parents have kept us both in the loop on all of the steps of David's awesome career, from local Syracuse reporter to anchor to Boston local to national ABC stuff to doing GMA and filling in for Charles Gibson. One important note: Jeff's graduating class was only 60 people or so! Talk about small world!

"DAVID!" I screamed.

One other important note: I've never met David!

He looked surprised and scared all at once. I was still on the high from Regis & Kelly, so I was talking a mile a minute. I finally got out that I was Jeff Dauler's wife, and David realized I was 'safe.' He bought us our coffee and we talked for a bit. I congratulated him on his success, he asked a ton of questions about Jeff and Jeff's family. I made David pose for a camera phone picture with me, that I knew would blow Jeff away. (I found out later I was right.)

The inaugural Delhi Fashion Week kicks off in the city — sans a ramp
Possibly one of a handful of female designers making menswear, Rajvi Mohan, 27, kicked off the maiden Delhi Fashion Week that started at the DLF Centre, adjacent to Emporio Mall, on Tuesday. The Delhi Fashion Week is small in scale, with less than 30 designers participating (at last count, the Wills India Fashion Week had over 70). However, on Day 1, things went off as they should — right from efficient valet parking to well-spaced out show area to food options, you can pick between AD Singh’s new Japanese restaurant Ai and a more familiar Costa Coffee counter. There are teething issues, of course. Late starts apart, the ramp here is a flat strip of white cardboard (diligently covered with a white sheet at other times and guarded by a pack of ushers). “The idea was to make the shows compact and closer to the audience, so we decided to do away with the conventional ramp,” says Geetanjali Kashyap of the Fashion Foundation of India (FFI).

Mohan made her first ever participation at a fashion week in the country with “Rat Pack Nirvana”, a tribute to her fashion icon, Dean Martin. The Delhiite comes with impressive credentials, having trained with the famed Vivienne Westwood and studied at the Parson’s School of Design, New York. Her collection, which has a hint of Indian prints, is otherwise inspired by the grunge look of the Forties and the Fifties and a generation of entertainers like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Martin. “I wanted to do a line that would look at Martin’s sense of dressing in an Indian context. This is what I felt it would be like,” she said. There were front pleats and generous layering, intelligent panelling that highlighted the contrasts and an interplay of summer hues, from bright yellows to aster blues and wild limes.

Akshay Kumar and his costume designer Shabinaa Khan can pat themselves on the back for sparking off a trend. Mohan’s show had a liberal sprinkling of trousers cut to the knee for more formal capris, a look that Kumar has made famous in his movie Singh is Kinng. We liked the jackets in particular, with their streamlined lapels and play on essential summer textiles like linen and stretch cotton. The only patchy part of the show was the fittings of some of the ensembles — a few sherwani bottoms looked like a cross between zoaves and fitted pajamas.

Abhijeet Khanna’s collection, which came next, focussed on all things luxurious, even in these times of near-recession. His collection — an assortment of shift dresses, harem pants and tops, inspired by the Indian styling of French Rococo — was embellished with sequins and incorporated Indian embroidery in otherwise western silhouettes. Khanna had been design assistant to Manish Arora for over four years, and the affinity to Arora’s sensibilities clearly shows. The fish-scale-patterned dress that ended the show was reminiscent of Arora’s warrior collection.

The day also saw a fair presence of buyers. “We have commitments from 160 buyers and nobody has cancelled so far. It should be a fair turnout,” said Sumeet Nair of FFI. While Khanna’s show had quite a few buyers, the second half of the day was expected to have a stronger buyer presence. Those expected include Isetan from Tokyo, Ovo Studio from Madrid, Design Best from Bordeaux and Seibu from Hong Kong.
