The Simpsons Game, Loud's Energy Drink and Jigga's DVD

Attention Simpsons fans: The folks over at EA have just announced that The Simpsons Game demo is now available on Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Home. Here's the info:

In this full episode demo entitled Shadow of the Colossal Donut, one of Springfield's creepiest enemies from the Treehouse of Horror VI comes back to life. After being shot by Kang and Kodos' Halloween ray, the giant Lard Lad statue has come to life and run amuck through the industrial center of Springfield. With Kent Brockman providing play-by-play commentary from Chopper 7, it is up to our heroes Homer and Bart to work together, use their unique abilities, and bring this monstrous mechanical man to his knees.

The official release date for the game is October 30, 2007 but you can get your pre-order on at Amazon or at www.ea.com/simpsons.

Steve Rifkind of the legendary hip-hop label Loud Records has a new hustle... energy drinks. Through the newly formed Loud Beverage Corp. Rifkind has launched the first two flavors of Loud Energy Drinks (Classic Mix and Sitrus Stunner).

In addition to traditional beverage marketing, Rifkind intends to use his music background to "break" his drinks in the same way he broke records in the past. "We utilize radio, DJs, mix tapes, club nights and promotions with non-traditional entertainment and lifestyle accounts," says Rifkind. "This company's rich musical history has its roots in marketing, and that's the same approach we are taking with Loud Energy Drinks."

I'm kind of a traditionalist when it comes to energy drinks so I think I'll be sticking to Redbull but with all of the promotions they have planned (The Loud Energy 2008 Tour kicks off in January) and the interesting future products (Loud Shotz, a two-ounce sugar-free energy/vitamin/antioxidant shot and Loud Sex Shotz) it just might pop.

Did you catch "Classic Albums: Reasonable Doubt" on VH1 this week? Jay walks us through the making of and classic lines from his first (and possibly his best) album Reasonable Doubt. It's definitely a must see. If not (or even if you did), you might want to pick up the DVD which features additional interviews and demonstrations not included in the broadcast version plus, the original videos for "Ain't No Nigga" (with Foxy Brown) and "Can't Knock The Hustle" (with Mary J Blige). The DVD is scheduled for release October 30th.
