MTV Networks is teaming with Cadbury and DISH Network to launch an interactive TV ad campaign. iTV voting and polling presented by Cadbury's Sour Patch Kids candy will be featured and active during in The N's new reality series Queen Bees, which premieres this Friday, July 11 at 9p. The campaign is available exclusively to DISH Network subscribers. Here is how it will work - throughout the show, viewers will be prompted with three sets of questions Fill in the Blank, Sour or Sweet and Star Chart Play Along, with the results appearing on the lower third of the screen. The questions will run before commercial breaks and the voting results will appear leading back in from the break, with Sour Patch Kids' branding featured throughout the ad segments. Additionally, The N will incorporate Sour Patch Kids' product information into one question each episode. NEW PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT Japanese publisher Shinchosha says that an animated version of author Budge Wilson's book Before Green Gables has gotten the go ahead, according to Anime News Network. Before Green Gables (known in Japan as Konnichiwa Anne) is a prequel to the author Lucy Maud Montgomery's books about Anne Shirley, the first of which is Anne of Green Gables that celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. Before Green Gables was published by Puffin earlier this year. You may recall we reported that a new live-action 3-hour TV movie Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning, also described as a prequel to Anne of Green Gables, is currently in production in Canada for air on CTV.

Additional Hasbro games are currently being developed for launch on social networking sites later this year. Mobile phones and the iPod versions of Scrabble are also available. Scrabulous, the knock-off version of Scrabble that has been causing Hasbro legal woes here in North America where it holds the rights to the game, is still available on Facebook. STONE SOUP We've got an ABBA museum, so why not a Bruce Lee museum? And in fact that will be the case, a two-story house (5,699 square feet) where Bruce Lee lived in Kowloon, a suburb of Hong Kong, will be converted into a museum celebrating the martial arts movie icon, per Reuters. Hotel/real estate tycoon/philanthropist Yu Panglin, the current owner of the house where Lee lived in the home (aka the crow's nest) until his untimely death in 1973, had put the property up for sale but changed his mind after an outcry by Lee fans. Panglin, who is donating the property for the museum to the Hong Kong government, hopes to create an attraction that includes a library, martial arts center and movie theater all supporting Lee's martial arts philosophy with profits going to charity. EXECUTIVE MOVES American Greetings Properties upps Carla Silva to VP/International Licensing. Based in the NYC office, Silva will continue to report to Tamra Knepfer, SVP/Consumer Products. Silva had been Director/International Licensing, she previously spent 13-years with United Media Licensing.
