Celebrities May Have the Genes, But You Can Own Their Jeans

Special K(R) Helps Women Get into Celebrity Jeans While Helping United Way

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Long and lean, fit and
flared, dark or distressed ... jeans come in endless styles and shapes, much
like the women who wear them. Each pair is exceptional in its own way, but
perhaps the most admired of all jeans are the ones worn by our favorite
celebrities. Now, Kellogg's(R) Special K(R) is giving consumers a chance to
own the ultimate in denim apparel: a pair of autographed, celebrity jeans.
Special K(R) recruited some of the hottest, most stylish celebrities to
auction a favorite pair of jeans including jeans from Courtney Cox-Arquette,
Virginia Madsen, Samantha Harris, Stacy Keibler, Trista Sutter, Gabrielle
Anwar, Diane Neal, Kathy Griffin, Eva Longoria, Kimora Lee Simmons and Marcia
Cross! All proceeds from the Special K(R) Celebrity Jeans Charity Online
Auction will benefit United Way. Special K(R) is hosting the Celebrity Jeans
Charity Online Auction in conjunction with its Special K(R) Drop a Jeans Size
Challenge. Log on soon, the charity auction starts on eBay at 4 p.m. EDT,
Sept. 2 and ends 10 days later at 4 p.m. EDT on Sept. 12, 2008. The URL for
the auction is: www.ebay.com/specialk.
Keep It Simple with Special K(R)
By participating in the Special K(R) Drop a Jeans Size Challenge, women
can lose a jean size in just two weeks and get ready for fall fashions(1).
The Special K Challenge(TM) is a simple, great-tasting way to drop a jean
size in two weeks. The Special K Challenge(TM) was developed in 2003 as a
simple way to take the guesswork out of dieting by telling consumers to
replace two meals with Special K(R) cereal followed by a sensible, balanced
third meal for a period of two weeks.
"The simple Special K Drop a Jean Size Challenge is designed to meet
women's active, busy lifestyles while taking the guesswork out of losing
weight," said Jennifer Garrett Ph.D., director, nutrition marketing, Kellogg
Company. "The broad variety of Special K products included in the Challenge
helps prevent boredom and monotony normally associated with managing weight
loss."
Looking Fabulous for a Good Cause
"We all see the pictures of Courtney Cox-Arquette and Stacy Keibler
strutting their stuff in the hottest new denim and secretly we long for their
jeans. Long no more -- the jeans can be yours," said Robert Verdi, style
aficionado and Style Network star who has teamed up with Special K(R) as part
of the charity auction and Special K Challenge(R) promotion. "Not only will
you have a slimmer figure, thanks to the Special K Challenge(R), and
autographed celebrity jeans, but you can feel great knowing that 100 percent
of the proceeds from your celebrity jeans purchase are benefiting United Way."
Special K(R) offers participants a chance to have their weight loss be
someone else's gain -- after dropping a jean size they can donate their old
jeans to benefit United Way. Participants can donate their jeans in specially
marked Special K(R) cereal boxes that convert into convenient mailers. By also
including five Special K(R) tokens -- available for a limited time on
specially marked Special K(R) products and a completed official order form,
participants will receive a fashion t-shirt in Special K(R) "red" to
complement their new, smaller jeans and fab figure. Losing weight and giving
back, can it get any better?
"Kellogg is an incredible supporter of communities and local United Ways
across the country," said Brian Gallagher, president and CEO, United Way of
America. "We share their commitment to improving people's health and are proud
to consider Kellogg one of our leading corporate partners."
