So many people, myself included, likely follow their favorite celebrities to see what they are doing right now. “I'm making some eggs, I wonder if Eric McCormick is doing the same thing?”, or something like that. Oh course, these people aren't stupid. They realize that their fan base will hang on their every word, and what better time to advertise an upcoming project! For every Busy Phillips, who tweets about her daughter, cast members on Cougar Town, and just general goings on during the day, there's an Alyssa Milano, who is CONSTANTLY hawking the new movie she's doing, or the TV show she just taped a guest spot for. Don't get me wrong, it makes is a lot easier to catch her few and far between guest stints on this week's Castle, but still, I'd like to hear more about her daily activites than what she's working on. Of course, I just proved the point. By seeing what she'll be on this week, I make a concious decsion to watch that episode of Castle, giving that show a boost in ratings, and showing Alyssa that its a great idea to advertise via Twitter.
As a person who hates to see someone pandering for an audience, I should stop following celebrities that do such things......Oh, shoot, Alyssa just posted about a new television movie she's starring in....Do as I say, not as I do, OK??
