Over the last few months, the Old Spice Guy has become the most popular commercial pitchperson since the “Where’s The Beef?” lady. That’s why we’re so excited that he decided to reply to our inquiry about whether or not he does community service wearing just a towel in video form. So, the question remains: Will he actually be attending the 2010 VH1 Do Something Awards next week? You’ll have to tune in on Monday, July 19 at 9/8c to find out!

The final five nominees and grant recipients to be honored during the show were also announced.

VH1′s pace is set to prove unrelenting this year with the launch of a slew of new shows, events, Behind the Music entries and Rock Docs. Info on it all — from the second seasons of Fantasia for Real and Scream Queens to new series starring Dr. Drew and Eva Longoria to specials featuring Christina Aguilera and 50 Cent to new VH1 Divas and Hip Hop Honors concerts — can be found in the press release below.
VH1 will produce a record 44 original series in 2010 to further build on the network’s connection to young adults and their hunger for programming centered around music, celebrity and real life stories.
Year-to-date, VH1 has launched 18 series – eight of those projects are brand new original franchises featuring such new faces to the channel as Jessica Simpson, Grammy Award-nominated Fantasia Barrino, and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas from TLC, one of the biggest-selling groups of all time, and Grammy Award-winning artist Brandy. Later in the year, VH1 will introduce more new faces such as NFL player Chad Ocho Cinco as well as shows demonstrating additional formats including VH1 Dad Camp and The OCD Project. VH1 also continues to develop the previously announced scripted movie from Academy Award-nominated and Grammy and Golden Globe winner Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit Entertainment.
VH1’s programming build-out reflects the network’s commitment to its adult audience and what they want to see now on the network. To understand the “core of its core” audience, the network did an extensive study focusing on what VH1 calls “Gen Mix” – the young adults who make up the tail-end of Generation X and the very beginning of Gen Y or the Millennials, covering the ages between 25 and 34.
VH1′s Save The Music Foundation and DoSomething.org have partnered together in an attempt to raise the awareness of music education in our schools. As part of this cause, we have put together a Battle Of The Bands contest. Over 850 bands from all over the country have already entered to win a the $5,000 grand prize and the opportunity to perform live at the legendary Apollo Theater. The deadline for entering this contest is next Friday, April 16th — that’s one week from today! — so get your friends together this weekend and be sure to enter the contest.
Above, watch the video submitted by one of this year’s contest entrants, Hover! These rockers might not be old enough to have their driver’s licenses, but these Owego (NY) Apalachin Middle School students have been writing their own blend of catchy pop songs since the sixth grade. And below, please follow along and check out a sampling of some of the other bands that have already submitted their videos.
