Angelina, Ethan, and Joel

A big time for celebrity endorsements. Angelina Jolie has thrown her weight behind BRCA genetic testing and elective mastectomy. Mike Adams in his Natural News was quick to point out that the publicity surrounding Jolie’s surgery comes just ahead of a Supreme Court ruling on whether Myriad Genetics patent on the BRCA1 gene is valid. Meanwhile, Myriad Genetics stock is at a 52 week high. Any testing currently generates royalties for Myriad Genetics.

On the other side of the lens, the Coen brothers now have their name associated with Adobe Premiere. For the film crowd this is big. It signifies the arrival of Adobe in the market once dominated by Apple (Final Cut) and Avid. The Coen brothers endorsement came by way of mention in an NAB press release from Adobe. No word yet as to the effect on Adobe stock prices.
