Revenge!

Emily Van Camp is one of the loveliest actresses around - but unfortunately, her publicist is not.  We all know that publicists are glued to their celebrity clients as they walk the red carpet or make appearances to promote their latest project, protecting them from awkward questions and making sure they get where they need to be on time, but this nasty bulldog also gets off on blocking any interaction with the fans.  Case in point: my friend Pavan and I caught Emily leaving Sirius Thursday.  We're both huge fans of Revenge (season four premieres tonight at 10PM on ABC) and it was just the two of us - no graphers, no paparazzi - a golden moment!  Emily happily posed for photos and talked about the show and an indie movie she's hoping to take on the festival circuit while the publicist fumed in the background, finally announcing 'We have to go!' and hustling her off like a goddamn Chinese lady selling illegal Louis Vuitton on Canal street.  If this was the first time she had done this, or if Emily really had somewhere to be, I'd understand.  But it wasn't.  And she didn't.

Note to publicists: It is your responsibility to get press for your clients.  You are not their bodyguards.  If there's fan interest, you are doing your job.  But we are fickle, and if you turn us off it leaves a bad taste in our mouths, one that we will likely remember when we reach for the remote, choose what film to see, book to buy or music to listen to.  Your job depends on the fans.  Cunt.
