While this TV Addict certainly appreciates the fact that the CW needs to do everything in its power to actually attract viewers to what’s quickly amounting to one of the most over-hyped/under-watched shows in the history of television. I can’t help but feel that the proverbial powers that be are going about it the wrong way.
Now admittedly, I’m no marketing guru. But releasing fifty plus photos in the hopes of generating buzz for GOSSIP GIRL’s second season premiere just seems like a bad idea. As the saying goes, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”
I mean take a look at these photos [above]. It doesn’t take THE BIG BANG THEORY’s Leonard or Sheldon to piece together the September 1st two-hour premiere’s major plot points. Heck, at this point I’m pretty sure even Penny would get the gist of it! In fact, I’d be willing to bet that if one took the time to print these photos and arrange them into a nifty little flip book, you’d have virtually the entire episode in the palm of your hands! Anyone have a few hours to kill? Let us know.
If Deadline Hollywood Daily is to be believed [and seriously, when has the internet ever led us astray?], you’ve ditched ICM for CAA [The Darth Vader of Hollywood Agencies] in the hopes of snagging a ’substantial raise’ for playing eye candy on the CW’s much talked about, yet little watched show GOSSIP GIRL.
Actions that unfortunately leave this TV Addict with no choice but to pose this obvious and slightly awkward question. Is it possible that Monday’s win for TEEN CHOICE Breakout Star has already gone to your head?
Having made the ‘Choice’ decision to hang out backstage rather than risk permanent hearing impairment courtesy of the thousands of screaming Jonas Brothers/Miley Cyrus fans at last night’s TEEN CHOICE AWARDS 2008. This TV Addict is proud to present this blow-by-blow account of all the behind-the-scenes fun you didn’t see on camera.
Choice Example of America’s Faltering Education System: When asked what the biggest challenge America’s youth is currently facing, Choice Movie Actor Winner Channing Tatum said, “America’s Education system is not doing good.” ‘Nuff said!
Choice Irony: After the adorably radiant Sophia Bush told teen girls everywhere that no matter what you look like or wear, girls should, “own it, and embrace yourself because anyone can feel fabulous.” A reporter who clearly wasn’t listening followed up with, “What are you wearing?”
At this evening’s 2008 TEEN CHOICE Awards, airing tomorrow night at 8PM on FOX — this TV Addict brushed up on his mad paparazzi skillz [how’s that for teen lingo?] by getting up close and personal with some faces you may be familiar with.
For the full report, including more great photos, hilarious moments and interviews, check back tomorrow night following the show. But for now, enjoy these photos of the TV Addict on the red carpet.
Question: What do the TV Addict and GOSSIP GIRL star Chace Crawford have in common? You know, aside from the devastating good looks and millions of fans?
