Caught in a Bad Fauxmance: Understanding Celebrity PR

Summary:

“My name is Ciel Phantomhive. This is my audition tape for the role of The Earl," a boy with dark hair says to the camera. The video shakes a little bit like someone is holding the camera with unsteady hands.

The boy brings a cup of tea to his lips, drinks, and then sets the cup down.

“My name is Ciel Phantomhive. This is my audition tape for the role of ‘The Earl’,” a young boy with dark hair says to the camera. The video shakes a little bit like someone is holding the camera with unsteady hands.

Sebastian Michaelis puts a hand against his chest. “You see, I’m merely one hell of a butler.” He smirks, dark eyes coy at the camera.]

Sebastian Michaelis didn’t audition. He was born to play the part.

Such a shame studios have abandoned the behind the scenes aspect of movies. Stuff like this really makes you appreciate movies and movie making more

Sebastian Michaelis is one of this generation’s best. Not just because he’s obviously gorgeous, but he’s a really talented and thoughtful actor. You can tell he takes his roles seriously and puts everything into them. He’s awesome. Perfect casting for this role.

Heloise and Ciel Phantomhive Wore Matching Jerseys at a Charity Basketball Game

Twinning is winning. 

Published on August 28, 2023

[Photo: Ciel and Heloise sporting jerseys with ‘PHANTOMHIVE’ on the back.]

We love love, and we love it even more when it involves celebrity siblings putting aside their usual red carpet looks for matching ensembles that are anything but haute couture. Heloise Phantomhive and her brother, Ciel Phantomhive, made an appearance at a charity basketball game over the weekend, organized by Hoopbus and Project Backboard. The event coincided with the grand opening of a basketball court that Ciel helped build and for its inaugural match, Heloise spent some time shooting hoops while wearing a jersey that matched her brother’s.

Heloise Phantomhive Updates @Heloise_Updated · Aug 28

Heloise embodies the Goddess of Victory, Nike in the ‘Lancome X Louvre’ campaign, “To me, her posture demonstrates a confident and victorious woman. A powerful symbol of achievement. And that’s what true beauty is, drawing on our own story to give ourselves wings, a way to empower ourselves,” said Heloise.

Angelina Dalles ski crash trial: Dalles testifies that the accident wasn’t her fault. 

Do you really think that the plaintiff would be suing her if she wasn’t rich and famous?

Throwing yourself to the mercy of gravity in an environment littered with trees, rock, tower poles, cliff bands and people is an inherent risk, and when we buy that lift pass we assume that risk. Any one of us could be getting sued like a Hollywood star.

This guy is trying to say he’s permanently injured by a 100 pound woman on a bunny trail. Give me a break. Surprised he didn’t hire Morgan and Morgan as his lawyer. 

Also good for her for taking this guy to trial and not just paying him to go away.

            I imagine that writing a $300K check plus lawyer fees is easy for her. She’s fighting this for all of us on principle.

Notes:

do not kill the part of you that is cringe. kill the part of you that cringes.

the OC is the same character from my other story The King's Gambit. In my head, this Social Media/Actor AU discusses the other fic as the 'Black Butler' show. Idk if that makes sense to anyone other than me lol.
