Brilliant self-promotion most people don’t get
Even seasoned media outlets like the Chicago SunTimes were shaking their heads at Carrey’s online profession of love for actress and comedienne Emma Stone.
You’d think they would understand good ol’ fashioned PR.
Who’s the hottest actress on the planet right now? Emma Stone. So if you’re Jim Carrey and you’re trying to draw attention to your TruLife website, who are you gonna target?
Emma Stone
Is the video weird? Sure. Is it funny creepy? Uh, yeah. Is everyone talking about it?
Absolutely.
And that’s exactly what Jim Carrey wanted. So, for the SunTimes to say Carrey’s video love note “falls flat”…
…means the jokes on them.
Momotypes
Everyone loves their Momma on Mother’s Day. And yesterday on Twitter, the tributes were as unique as the women they honored.
But TV moms? Not so much.
They’re all kinda the same. In fact, if you look back at the women who have portrayed moms on TV sitcoms and dramas — at least in my memory — three actresses pop up again and again.
Blythe Danner
Susan Sullivan
Holland Taylor
All three are currently on the small screen playing moms — Danner on Up All Night, Sullivan on Castle, and Taylor on Two and a Half Men.
Heck, Sullivan even played the mom on one episode of Two and a Half Men before Taylor took over. Viewers probably didn’t even notice the switch.
Which is my point. Do the TV powers-that-be really thing that moms everywhere are fair-haired ladies with bob haircuts?
‘Cause that would be a NO.
