Perfect Example of How Hollywood Works

Posted on 30 April 2009   Commercial Break, Disney, Hollywood, Trendy Feature

Yes this will be giving this person the exposure she desperately wanted but it’s a perfect example of how Hollywood works and how people would sell their right arm for fame.  Let’s start from the beginning.

Upcoming actress and waitress Scheana Marie Jancan, who I assume got tired of waiting tables and waiting on that right script that would catapult her into stardom, decided one day to drop some more notable names to get hers out there. Last Wednesday Star Magazine announced that musician John Mayer has a new girlfriend moving on from actress Jennifer Aniston.  In the three days of admitting dropping this story to Star Magazine, Jancan couldn’t help but talk to whoever would listen.

If you were to be one of the fortunates to pick up Star Magazine last week you would have read that not only did Jancan admit to spending time at Mayer’s recording studio home you would have also learned she dropped  more famous Aniston’s name saying all of Mayer’s new songs set to appear on his new album out later this year are about Aniston. Juicy.

Interestingly enough Jancan was not only telling tabloids juicy details she was also dropping them on her twitter. While this was happening suddenly everyone comes to find out that Jancan has a stint on the new Disney show JONAS that premieres this Saturday on the network. Blogs also conveniently acquired pictures and video of her on the show. Coincidence? Of course not. Someone got paid overtime for this publicly stunt. Now everyone knows her name. Expect to see her in more stints soon.

Saturday Mayer decided to have a early work out in Santa Monica picking up some paparazzi on the way where he later told them that he didn’t have a girlfriend. Burn.

I did witness for myself how suddenly the JONAS preview that had been airing for a few weeks on Disney Channel has now changed to feature Jancan as the “Pizza girl”.  Also Buzz Tv today uncovered that a script to the “Pizza girl” episode is available for download if you can find it as it is hidden on the JONAS show official site. Obviously not that hard to find since Buzz Tv found it.

Was this clever pr from Disney or did they just see a open opportunity for free publicity? Even though Jancan’s stint doesn’t air until May 16th, she got what she wanted and Disney got free publicity out of it. Jancan even went as far as deleting previous tweets about what she told tabloids after all was said and done. Unfortunately while Mayer had to play the Hollywood game and deny it all to paparazzi, this had to be a valuable lesson to him; just because you have a mantel full of Grammys doesn’t mean you can’t get played by up and coming actresses. He’ll live through it but Jancan better watch out, she might actual be the one to end up on his new album.

So where is all the visual aid for this? Not to fear follow the link to see what she worked hard on promoting the past few days and check out some of her now deleted tweets. It’s fun to see how the story from admitting she went to Star to denying she did, to deleting the tweets altogether. Also how on the undeleted tweets she is just so exhausted from having to answer to the press. She’s already knows how to act as if she is famous. She even tried to follow Jennifer Aniston on Twitter.  Doesn’t get more Hollywood than that!
