Oscar Mayer offers deal to help during down economy


QUAD CITIES, Iowa/Ill. - Oscar Mayer is joining the ranks of offering freebies during these economic times.

Until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday May 20, you can go to oscarmayer.com to enter for a free coupon. The Kraft Company, which owns Oscar Mayer, is doing the campaign to celebrate a recent nationwide taste test that put Oscar Mayer wieners above those made by Ball Park and Hebrew National. The company says it will give away up to $1 million worth of hot dogs.

Unlike the KFC coupon campaign that Oprah Winfrey launched a few weeks ago. That campaign overtook the company with requests at restaurants for free meals. The Oscar Mayer campaign will ask for your address and says it will send you a coupon in the mail 4-6 weeks after you submit your information.

A disclaimer on Oscar Mayer's website says it will not accept P.O. Box addresses. The campaign limits coupons to one per household...



Kids go to bat for ailing brother of classmate
With glitter sticking to her tiny fingers and dress, 5-year-old Tova Kaplan took a break from her work at Oscar Mayer Magnet School on Friday to urge people to help the brother of one of her classmates.

"Could you really help this boy Jasper because he's very sick?" the 3-foot-tall preschooler said. "You can give me a little money or a lot of money. It's up to you."

In the coming days, Chicagoans will see the fruit of Tova's work -- and that of hundreds of other students at schools throughout the city -- in the shape of brightly decorated fund-raising cans displayed in businesses across Chicago.

It's all to help raise $2.5 million for 4-year-old Jasper Duinstra, of Chicago, and up to four more children suffering from a rare neurological illness that usually is fatal by age 12.

Jasper's family and friends are pinning their hopes on the promising results of some recent gene therapy clinical trials in New York that appeared to slow the progression of Jasper's sickness, Batten disease. The Duinstras -- who moved here from the Netherlands in 2007 -- say government funding won't become available soon enough to fund Jasper's participation in the trials. So they have to rely on private donations....



Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reunite for dinner in Cannes... after flying in separately
They haven't been photographed together in three months and were rumoured to be on the rocks.

But last night Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie showed the world they were still in love as they dined out in Cannes last night.

Angelina arrived on the French Riviera on Tuesday evening after spending the day attending a trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
The Oscar winner, 33, joined Brad, 45, and director Quentin Tarantino at a dinner for the cast and crew of Inglourious Basterds at the Michelangelo restaurant in Antibes, seven miles down the coast from Cannes.

Angelina was wearing her a dark Salvatore Ferragamo animal-print gown with her glossy brown hair loose, while Brad went for the smart/casual look in a grey shirt.

Their meal came ahead of a screening of the Inglourious Basterds at the Cannes Film Festival tonight, where Brad and Angelina are set to make their first public appearance together since the Oscars on February 22.

Brad arrived on the French Riviera earlier this week and checked into a private villa at the exclusive Hotel Du Cap....
