Recording artists Chris Brown, Julianne Hough and Ne-Yo have partnered with Wrigley’s gum to update the traditional Wrigley’s gum “jingles” for Doublemint®, Juicy Fruit® and Big Red®, and attended an event in NYC on Tuesday night to promote the brand.

Chris updated the Doublemint jingle. Ne-Yo did a song that is an ad on the “kiss a little longer” slogan for Big Red gum while country star Julianne Hough did a song/ad for Juicy Fruit. Commercials for the new jingles are expected to start running next month.

MUSIC NEWS: ALICIA KEYS TO RECORD BOND THEME / SOLANGE VIDEO BLOGS / CIARA COVERS BILLBOARD

Alicia Keys along with Jack White of the band, White Stripes are teaming up for the coveted James Bond theme for the upcoming film, which will hit theaters November 7th.

The song, “Another Way To Die,” will be the first duet in Bond soundtrack history. White wrote and produced the song, and also will play drums. The soundtrack to the movie will be released Oct. 28.

This is pretty interesting news considering that Beyonce, Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis had previously been rumored as the vocalists for the latest Bond theme. I’m interested to see what Alicia Keys comes up with. I think her latest album, As I Am was a good effort for her musically and artistically, but there’s just something about Alicia’s voice that just doesn’t cut it for me sometimes (I think it’s the fact that she doesn’t show much vocal range). I’m eager to see what they come up with, though!

POLITICAL ROUNDUP: AN OBAMA-CLINTON TICKET? / MCCAIN COULD SUPPORT 16-MONTH IRAQ TIMETABLE / W. TRAILER

When Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton dropped out of the presidential race last month, I’m sure she anticipated getting something out of it from Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Obama has mentioned, numerous times, that Clinton would be on anyone’s shortlist. According to published reports, though, anyone but Obama’s.

When Obama appeared on Sunday’s Meet the Press, he hinted that his vice president would be someone not closely identified with Washington, which could possibly rule out Clinton.

More telling is that in recent days, Clinton has said that she believes there’s little chance that Obama will choose her and the mention of her being under consideration is but a courtesy.

Obama’s aides and associates even say that, for various reasons, he is not looking at Clinton to run and serve with him.

An announcement of his VP choice may be made a week before the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 25, Obama has said. Aides to the Illinois senator, however, say it could be sooner.
