Courteney Cox has a new show (the horrifyingly named Cougar Town), and that means she’s doing a whole slew of interviews to promote it. Her interview in the L.A. Times is a pretty classic example of how celebrities try to look endearing. Those steps are below, with appropriate corresponding Cox quotes.
1. Tell some anecdote about how ‘normal’ you are, with bonus points if it relates to being a mom.
“Recently my daughter had lice. OK? Wasn’t fun. Became a big outbreak in the house.”
2. Blame paparazzi and/or “the media” for getting in the way of you trying to be all normal all the time.
When Cox went on a non-picturesque errand to buy anti-lice nit combs at Hair Fairies, a.k.a. “The Head Lice Helpers,” three paparazzi were accompanying her.
3. End by reminding everyone how not normal you are, thus revealing your complete lack of perspective.
“So I stayed in the car, and I called up my assistant, and I said, ‘Dude, I can’t get out of the car.’ So that’s the only problem.”
Great try, Courteney! However, making your assistant buy lice combs for your kid is on par with making him or her (I consider using the word “dude” gender-neutral) take your kid on a tour of the sewer. Also… when you referred to that lice “outbreak” earlier, who exactly were you talking about? Because I know you don’t have any other kids, so was it you who also got lice? The nanny? Or perhaps … the assistant?
