Vanity Fair's Funny Women Are Geeky Women
This month's Vanity Fair features a rad cover story on modern comediennes like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, and Kristin Wiig. The photo shoot, snapped by legend Annie Leibovitz, has a few concepts: Greek goddesses, Hollywood trainwrecks, and jet-setting hot chicks. What I really appreciated was the prolific use of gadgets as props — iPhones, Blackberries, and MacBook Pros abound!
Celebrity Viral Videos Are Good For the Image
Trendhunter recently wrote that actors were starting to get hip to the idea of viral videos as a way to boost their image (in response to the Matt Damon/Sarah Silverman instant classic), and I could not agree more. Once I see a celebrity in a viral video parodying themselves, I think they have a fantastic sense of humor and don't take themselves too seriously — that latter quality being something that is normally antithetical to the image of actors, who are generally perceived as egotistical bigheads with a deep need to be taken seriously. Will Ferrell's FunnyOrDie (their original post being the amazing "The Landlord") has helped in this phenomena, and before sites and actors cropped up trying to create virals, YouTube really boosted the idea — would you have seen Justin Timberlake's "D** in a Box" video if it had only aired on SNL?
