When they sit down to a "Poker Game," Kevin Garnett and Young Jeezy have already enjoyed a level of success that allows them to bet big. So, in this viral - one of 6 in a star-studded campaign directed by Wayne Holloway of RESTLESS
The internet campaign, a companion effort to a music video style piece helmed by Nima Nourizadeh of Partizan, was recently introduced with a piece that shows Russell Simmons on the phone inviting some of his A-List celebrity friends (Garnett, David Beckham, Missy Elliott, Run DMC, and others) to a "House Party" to celebrate the 60th year anniversary of adidas.
The party in question is the coming-together of stars, past and present, who've helped imprint the adidas brand over the years. The house itself was in Beverly Hills and with all this talent converging over a week's time to participate in the "party," Sid Lee saw a wonderful opportunity to capture the celebs interacting with each other and to craft some dialogue-driven viral films. "This type of collaborative, craft-as-you-go project fits Wayne's talents perfectly. It was exciting and felt very modern" said RESTLESS Co-Founder and Executive Producer Bryan Farhy.
Holloway and Kristian Manchester (Co-founder and CD at Sid Lee) developed 6 viral concepts for the shoot, to be rolled out in coming weeks. The internet films will also begin playing in adidas stores worldwide. Holloway not only got the stars to have fun, he elicited some extremely rare performances, including Simmons rapping "My Adidas." Simmons and Rick Rubin produced the song for Run DMC in 1986, contributing to an adidas craze that swept the nation; this marks the first time in, perhaps, 20 years, that Simmons has performed it.

Hi Everyone,
If you like the song for the Adidas Originals House Party, it was made originally by Frankie Valli and it's called Beggin. The song was remix by Pelooski. Other remix versions where also created by Boogie Studio for the web videos.
If anyone wants to hear the proposed remix created for web videos, feel free to check them out at:

Do you have to include a link directory on your website in order to have the other sites link to you? No, there are paid options that allows you to get the links without linking back. This is known as 'one-way' linking.

I just read that David Beckham was flown to Finland on Monday for surgery on an Achilles tendon injury. I hope not that this could end his playing career.
