G: You hear about it all the time: American celebrities shilling for foreign companies, and the advertisements never come to the states (like Richard Gere's Lancia car commercial-- Lancia left the states in 1983!!). Anyways, I spotted this at the Marktauf supermarket this past week, a point-of-purchase display for "Rich" brand Prosecco featuring everybody's favorite celebutard, Ms. Paris Hilton. Prosecco is Italy's take on Champagne, and if it's anything like the gag-awful Sofia sparkling wine in a can (from the usually solid Coppola winery), the "bubbles" are injected into standard wine, like soda pop. Ewwww.
