Mike Rowe tries to sell a bag - VIDEO

mike roweVia the AOL viral video site This Just In (AOL also owns TV Squad) comes a video featuring a very young-looking Mike Rowe (currently the host of Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel) selling a cat toy on QVC. Rowe was a presenter on the channel in the early '90s.

Give Rowe credit, because he's trying his best to sell a product that is, for all intents and purposes, a glorified grocery bag, but how enthusiastic can the poor guy get about a bag that even QVC's resident cat doesn't seem to care about?

Eureka inventions available online

eurekaIf you've never seen the SciFi series Eureka, you're missing one of the best new shows of the season. Actually, I've never seen a single episode, I just thought for a change of pace I would lionize things I've never actually seen or experienced. Have you ever put ranch dressing on a jelly donut? It's absolutely delicious, I'm telling you. Sorry, I'll get to the point: as a way to promote the series a faux shopping channel has been set up where people can "purchase" some of the cool and weird inventions that appear on the show. I'm thinking of getting myself a TemporalVision Monitor so I can get a jump on the next book Oprah wants everyone to read. When you try to buy the non-existent products, you're actually entered into a sweepstakes to win a Sony HDTV and Blu-ray player. All in all, a clever bit of marketing for the show. The site is MadeInEureka.com.

Buy Paula's jewels

paula abdulAmerican Idol judge Paula Abdul, who is known for making pieces of jewelry to give contestants in order to inspire them, plans to actually launch her own line of jewelry through QVC. The new line will be called the Paula Abdul Jewelry Collection. That sounds rather generic, if you ask me. They couldn't have gone with "Forever Your Girl" or something similar? Abdul will introduce the line before a live audience on QVC on April 21. Her signature jewelry will consist of charms, bracelets, earrings, and similar items. Like the jewelry she creates for the Idol contestants, these will also be adorned with words of inspiration. Twenty-six pieces will be introduced initially, with more set to be launched in the month of May.
