He's Not Fried, He's Toasted

George Hamilton is cashing in his chips, spending what limited time he may have awaiting certain diagnosis of melanoma hocking low-fat chips. Nice, George, you're saving the arteries of millions of people.

In just another quirky ... er... ironic, ok, gross turn of advertising genius, Nabisco has tapped sun worshipper George Hamilton as spokesman for its newest product toasted-and-not-fried chip. On June 27, George appeared in the "No-Fry Zone" clad in a fluffy robe and kicking off the low-fat ad campaign to onlookers in southern California's Hermosa Beach. 


In typical one-up-manship, Nabisco challenged Maxim magazine's egomaniac cover-seen-from-space publicity stunt, as he unveiled the World's Largest Beach Towel.

Towel

Measuring 125 x 75 feet and officially recognized in the Guiness Book of World Records, the towel won't be soaking up all the attention.  At Nabisco.com, the Human Ember is featured prominently in typical lap-of-luxuryness, lounging in a beach chair and popping the brown chips.  Viewers are encouraged to ask George's Magic Golf Ball a question.  When asked, "George, how do you stay so brown and so healthy?," the magic ball replies, "Try putting some tin foil around yourself and your odds may increase."  So there you have it - George is helping keep America beautiful and healthy by encouraging baked potato behavior.

Sources say Hamilton is currently being considered for the "World's Most Toasted Man." (Just kidding.)

1. I just love George Hamilton. Besides being incredibly handsome and amazingly hot at 60-something he has a wonderful sense of humor and the ability to poke fun at himself.

4. i agree with darlene and barbara. at 60 something, he certainly has aged gracefully...still handsome and debonair! and he has retained that wonderful sense of humor! get off his case, tmz...what cynicism from people who probably are only half his age and have only accomplished a small percentage of what he has accomplished. he's paid his dues...at his age, he deserves respect. and if he's escaped skin cancer after all these years...good for him...

6. Why do white people think that looks good? So many stars do the fake tanning and end up looking orange. it's not cute, sexy or anything good. It's just weird!

8. Who's up for some lobster? Seriously, might as well just install tanning lights instead of flourescent ones, which he probably already did.

10. I don't like the tan, never have. I do, however like George. He is always smiling and having a good time. On Dancing With the Stars, his self-depricating humor and charm were refreshing in an era when most "stars" don't know how to address the public and come across as fake.

12. The failed NBC sitcom 'Jenny' (1997) w/ (genital mutilator) Jenny McCarthy, wasn't that bad of a concept and George was good in it.
