Jenny McCarthy Signs On To Shill Your Shape

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:40:00 MDT

Hey guys, the list of celebrities endorsing Wii fitness games just a little longer today, as Ubisoft has signed Jenny McCarthy as its Your Shape spokesface, presumably in hopes that people will think she knows something about fitness.

It seems to be a winning formula for Wii fitness games thus far, as Majesco has tapped into the celebrity fitness power and abdominal recognition of Jillian Michaels. As has Sega, with trustworthy fit person Daisy Fuentes endorsing the publisher's Pilates software. EA Sports seems to have done alright with its no-name covergirl, as has Nintendo with its shapely green silhouette woman, but a little fading fame never hurts.

Ubisoft's not afraid to endorse, as My Stop Smoking Coach with Allen Carr has shown. We'll see if Ms. McCarthy enjoys the same success with Your Shape, due out this Holiday.

Maxim's Hottest Video Game Babes of 2008

Jim Reilly — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:20:00 MST

We've already had our fair share of Game of the Year awards, now it's time to find out what everyone has just been dying to know: Who were the hottest video game babes this year?

A crack team of qualified and highly intelligent researchers at Maxim put together their list, which features the likes of Zoey (Left 4 Dead), Celeste (Mirror's Edge), and Elika (Prince of Persia). But while this list isn't ranked per se, if I had to pick just one I would most certainly have to go with Jenny McCarthy from Red Alert 3. Not because she's real or that I've seen her naked, but because she's 36. Yes, 36! I'll even argue she looks better now (in a more mature way) than from her days on MTV's Singled Out.

Anyway, I feel there were a few omitted, like Shanoa (Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia), Kaoru Sayama (Yakuza 2), and any one of the girls from Persona 4.

Any others?

You can view the entire list after the jump.

Jenny McCarthy Talking 'Bout Tanya

Owen Good — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 11:00:00 MDT

So Jenny McCarthy says she already has a little warrior in her. Dammit! There goes my pickup line. In this video up on Gametrailers, the actress and former Playmate explains her approach to playing Tanya in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, and we get a peek at some cutscene footage.

Don't Worry, Red Alert Fans, Jenny McCarthy Is Apparently A "Badass" Tanya

The announcement of Jenny McCarthy as Tanya in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 may have drawn a "uergh" or two from fans of the series. "She's no fucking Kari Wührer," some said, which... well, we're not sure if that's a compliment or an insult. But the guys at EA sure like Jenny.

Chris Corey, executive producer for Red Alert 3, says that McCarthy is a "badass" Tanya, that's she's more than capable to tackle the role of the special ops commando. After co-piloting a two-player coop demo of the PC version of the real-time strategy game, Corey tried to allay fan fears that the former Playboy Playmate wasn't ready to fill the tank top. Corey sounded pretty enthused to have her on board.

Hey, if they're happy, I'm happy.
