Story Highlight
From Tea Towels to Pasta Shapes, we list the Oddest Merchandise from the biggest stars.
Merchandise from your favourite artist can be amazing if it’s the right item. Here we list selection that’s a little more unusual than what you might be used to seeing…
Justin Bieber Toothbrush
It appears Justin Bieber doesn’t only have a song called ‘U Smile’ but he also cares about YOUR smile as his official website has a selection of Toothbrushes! With kids and adults versions available, the top of the range is a toothbrush that plays a Bieber hit every time you brush. A choice of hits, ‘Baby’ and ‘U Smile’, is played for 2 minutes, the recommended length of time by Dentists according to his website. Maybe if the singing career doesn’t work out he can get his own Dental Surgery!
LMFAO Party Funnel Adele Tea Towel
To have the true ‘Party Rock’ experience, LMFAO have released a party funnel for when you’re ‘shufflin’’ at home. Simply referred to as ‘Everyday I’m Funnelin’’ on their website, the party funnel is used by the Party Rock duo on stage at gigs and you too can act like the LMFAO boys with this bit of official merchandise.
Steps Heinz Pasta Shapes
STEPS and Pasta fans take note; Heinz Pasta shapes genuinely released a STEPS version in the shops. The shapes spelt out the pop groups name and also depicted the ‘Tragedy’ and ‘One For Sorrow’ dance moves. These aren’t available anymore and will not be making a comeback, unlike the group who reformed last year and are on tour during 2012.
One Direction Hot Water Bottle
The boys from One Direction shot to stardom last year but don’t be thinking they’re too glamorous for some home comforts every now and then. The 2010 X-Factor finalists have an official Hot Water Bottle available on their website for fans to snuggle up with One Direction. It won’t be ‘What Makes You Beautiful’, but it will keep you warm at night!
Nick Minaj Pink Wig
Ever wanted to look like your favourite pop stars? Well on Nicki Minaj’s online store you can buy the singers official Pink Wig, as seen in her video for ‘Superbass’, and act like the Chart Topper herself! The video for ‘Superbass’ won her an MTV Video Music Award in 2011, so fans of Ms’ Minaj could see this as a start for an award winning career, or could just wear it when you nip down to the shops!
If you have ever been cooking your dinner and thought that the experience needs more soul? If so, then you’re in luck! Adele has a selection of Tea Towels on her Official Website. Unfortunately, they aren’t electronic and don’t play any hits from her 2 UK Number 1 Albums, so you’re going to have to sing ‘Someone Like You’ to yourself while you’re cooking!
JLS Condoms
Probably the strangest endorsement on our list is the boys from JLS bringing out their own range of condoms. The campaign behind them uses the slogan ‘Just Love Safe’ and the band worked hard encouraging their fans to perform safe sex. There are four different choices, each being a different colour for each band member’s individual colour. They were brought out as part of JLS’ Charitable foundation and all the money made goes towards that.
