But all the shoes in those ads are really UGLY. I hope they find something better for Cookie.

The more he's out there the better and let me tell you it's damm good money that a person would be hard-pressed to turn down. Cook's style is really different. I mean don't you just love that scarf hanging out of his back pocket?? I especially like the long ones but on anyone else I would say WTF is that??? He just makes everything look cool. Every guy wants to be Cook right now--at least the cool guys. Archie was approached about doing a short bit on HSM3 right after the finale but Disney was shooting it in August and would take about 3 weeks and Archie was going on AI tour. AI stepped in and reminded him of the contract he signed which obliged him to do the tour as all the top 10 were obliged. All the venues were already booked sometime ago and announced they weren't going to let him take off for 3 weeks or postpone it for his little side deal. So Archie didn't "turn it down" because AI told him "no way." Cook's deal will not interfere with the tour at all. Getting an endorsement from Skechers is fantastic.

He entertained us and evolved into a Superstar as we happily watched him each week. We cheered, nutured and voted for him as he endured the hurdles and judges. Every time I watch him do something extraordinary, like wearing the bracelet for the sick girl or honoring his family, I have to stand up and applaud his character. Not many 25 year old Men display that kind of mettle these days. I've already pre-ordered the David Cook CD and can't wait for it to arrive. Layla,

It's a respectable endorsment, and I am happy for him. Seeing him do so well right out of the gate makes me proud in the same way as when my children or family members do well. Does that make sense? It's like and experiencing the making" of a superstar of someone that we "knpw". Now...enough with all the endorsment stuff Cookie and get your pretty ass in the studio and make that record!!

You certainly deserve to reep the big rewards. Can't wait to see you at the mall. Question: How much will Cookie get for the ad campaign? My gutt guess is that DC will be paid at least $1 Million for the Sketchers' endorsement. Also, is the campaign a flat rate or is it tied to sales performance? Personally, I hope it is enough for David to buy a house in LA or Hollywood. He stated in a previous interview that he wanted to find a place to live, a dog and a car. Hope you get your wish!! I tried to search this information online and found an article stating the Sketchers' advertising budget for 2007 was $100 Million. http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-166956193.html Any speculation about the amount? Given the diverse readers on this blog, I am hoping someone will shed some light on my curious question. Cause I can always count on this group to share the information!!

Forehead smack. I srsly just needed to zero in on the pictorial asset. But reading now the earlier comments, will note. Oscar Winner, Emmy Winner, Oscar nominee, general men of hotness. This is nice company! Have a grape. Adding, I can’t believe I fed a thread of eight dozen comments about his shoe deal. Forehead smack. I srsly just needed to zero in on the pictorial asset.

Back in art class, they used to tell us that in images the eye is naturally drawn to point of any triangle. The photographer seems to have decided that the main interest in this photo is . . . somewhat above the feetses. Huh.

They were rushing production to get the movie done before the strike so it's doubtful that they were willing to put everything aside to get Archie a cameo. And it is beyond offensive to claim that every positive benefit that Cook reaps from his Idol win is something that was set aside for Archie or turned down by him first. Cook won the title, came close to breaking Billboard records, and is doing well with his single. There is every reason to prefer him as an advertising candidate over the runner-up.

Carrie's ads were everywhere and if they do the same for DC it'll be a surefire way to keep him in the public consciousness till his album drops. The brand hits the right demo too imo (I own a few pairs, lol). And yes, the money :) Music sales are always a gamble but the endorsement deal is cash in baby's pocket right NOW. I'm impressed that his contract runs till the end of 2009. Nice job by his management getting that kind of commitment. The Skechers deal makes me very very happy for David.
