So the Enty Lawyer thing is about Zendaya getting into trouble with D.A.R.E reaction to Euphoria glorifying using drugs, or Sam Levinson on set behavior or does this pertains to her fake relationship with Tom Holland??

Both. Euphoria shows been getting some so-so press and she’s been getting bad press because her contract with HBO won’t let them prompt any other actors for awards that aren’t her.

They went out on 4 outings in the public (and she didn’t even go in to the theater for the screening thing with Tom so the walk out was for show). The Prada all over his body too in every photo. She already commented a 😍 on his Instagram which essentially starts them back in to phase one of “hiding”. It’s a pretty predictable cycle

If anyone is interested I totally forgot about this article from the New York Times I read way back at the beginning of the year but it’s a really good read to see how the publicity/marketing atmosphere shifted because of covid and it’s restrictions

What should we be looking for after the movie or show hits success to indicate the relationship was used to make the movie a big hit? Meaning will the couple continue being photograph together still or will we see them less and less together and possibly be seen with someone else???

Disclaimer that this isn’t how it always goes but there is generally a pattern:

1) look for the fizzle: once the big event is over (the show/movie premieres, interviews are done, press tour is over, album is released, show gets renewed for a new season) a celebrity’s team will stop pushing the personal narrative and start focusing solely on their clients connection to their work. Media will still name drop the couple to continue with momentum and to keep getting clicks but the celebrity’s team will not actively look to make headlines with the relationship as the sole driving point like before

2) They’ll try and build/keep a connection between the celebrity and their work rather than with their relationship: No one wants their clients work to be over shadowed by their relationship (especially their client- nothing worse then being the supporting role in a film or the lead and being only addressed in media like “Jane Doe’s boyfriend stars in” or “John Smith’s girlfriend shines in”)

3) Back away from the limelight: now this one is optional but usually the number of “candid” and regular pap photos you see diminishes for a few weeks and they begin to again form separate identities (now this is all dependent on the client- some very narcissistic or attention seeking clients will try and squeeze every last drop from a set up so you may see one half of the pair get constantly papped while the other half disappears)

4) Rumor mill of he said she said: teams will slowly start to drop hints here and there regarding relationship status and “trouble in paradise”. “Sources” will tell tabloids (or Deuxmoi and Blind item) about busy schedules or different plans for the future. They book more gigs or get more attention based on previous exposure from said relationship that they’ll be to busy and will break up. If they’re looking to stay in the news longer they’ll make it nasty but otherwise it’s “mutual” and they go they’re separate ways, be brought up at a red carpet here and there or award show/event they both attend where people think they’re getting back together but no it’s the end

Keep in mind that a majority of the media is just looking for clicks when it comes to articles which is why they always feel like they’re all saying the same thing to try and get you to read an “exclusive” or “inside knowledge” that is just a sentence of maybe a new opinion or quote and then the same article 50 other people wrote. They’re trying just as hard to stay relevant as the stars are (social media really is killing the tabloid/journalism game in someways). Depending on the creditability of the paper/magazine they’ll print stuff they know is false but will get them impressions and views on their site.

It’s all a money game in the end and everyone on all ends is profiting.

If the media has to continuously remind you that a celebrity couple is a “couple” and put out nonsense click bait articles everyday just to get your attention. Does that not make you question a bit:

1) why they feel the need to continuously throw a relationship down your throat that has already been announced across every platform to the gp

2) celebrities relationship with the media and their ability to use it to stay relevant and make money (indirectly and directly off of the attention)

What's your roommate saying about Zendaya red carpet look?

My roommate was obsessed with zendaya’s Dune press tour looks (like obsessed were we have the tan Venice film festival dress photo hanging on our fridge)

She said “I get what she was going for with the spider theme but the dress looks like it’s falling off of her, it’s not tailored to her body and the design makes it look cheap, it needed to be a different color I think”

She also said that the dress she wore to the soccer award thing was stunning and would have looked beautiful on the carpet

She also said the top of tom suit fits him weird and then left to go call her coworker to gossip about it so idk haha

#zendaya #she’s very picky #but I king of agree on the fittting situation it does give the vibe it could fall at any moment

Hi h my dudes!! If you’re sending paragraphs in my asks I promise I read them I just can’t respond to all of them! Y’all are pretty much saying the same thing over and over again which isn’t a bad thing it’s just very repetitive on my end since I’ve essentially already answered y’all’s rambles/comments so yeah. But if you have a question and not just a comment feel free to send that over

for a blog that claims to know the ins and outs of the entertainment industry, you seem to only focus on these so called PR relationships. care to elaborate on other types of PR? PR activism? PR political engagement? PR friendships? anyone sold their souls to the Illuminati to further their careers?

Hello aggressive anon! I just got off of work but I work for a publicity agency and the team I work onmainly works on the talent relations side. I just answer the questions that come in but yes PR comes in all forms. PR friendship are big for tv (Disney channel was hugeeeee in the early - mid 2000s) and PR activism is pretty easy to spot now a days. If there’s a specific celebrity/question I’m happy to give an answer or ask around

So what your saying is the more press for Tom and Zendaya the more successful Spiderman will be??

Yes, just like anything the more attention it gets the more intriguing it is for the gp. Marvel is big on its own sure but after the avengers ended and they finished with most of the “OG” characters they had to rebrand and build. Spider-Man already has a built in audience (Marvel and then Tom and Zendaya fans) so they need to capitalize on that to help propel sales.

I think Sony is very smart to use the “it couple” from the film and bring it to real life. Capitalizing on the relationship now makes them more profitable and since none of them have signed contracts yet for new Spider-Man films (officially) they can figure out what course of action to take. (People love exes colliding so even if they “breakup” people will be invested every time they’re within 50ft of each other)

What’s the deal with Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson?

Ok so I’ll admit I am not big follower of Kim K and the Kardashian crew but I think timing is always key for these things. I think with the Travis Scott fiasco being linked to them because if Kylie it’s very likely they’re just friends and just milking it for attention. From what I know she hasn’t finalized her divorce from Kanye yet, so I think if it is real it’s at most a fling.

Can celebrities blacklist questions? Also I thought it too was odd he say he wants privacy but start talking about the relationship in wild popular global magazine like gq! Make it make since. I believe Zendaya probably was hesitant to talk a bit that she did do on the phone to satisfy both teams and their fan base whom they follow fan pages. Because I've never read her speak on any relationship she has had currently or the past before.

Hi!! Sorry I’m getting to this so late, very busy few weeks. So celebrities can absolutely blacklist questions and is usually what we (publicist/publicity teams) do is we inform whatever radio show or tv show etc. that the artist/actor/celebrity appears on what questions they can’t ask a head of time (usually in an email sometime in person). If someone tries to ask a question usually a publicist will cut in and shut it down quickly or threaten to cut the interview (we’ve had a few close calls with that recently).

The role of a publicist is to both protect the celebrity’s image and the celebrity themselves, making sure they’re always comfortable in all settings and are prepared to answer question with clarity.

Fun facts a lot of studios will actually give actors scripts for press tours of various phrases they need to use during interviews so that they know nothing will be spoiled (if you ever watch interview compilations and and actor describes their film vary vaguely and the same ish all the time it’s probably from the script). It’s all planned out so there’s no room for error. I personally have not worked with GQ for interviews yet but if there’s something included in a cover story featured approved by the celebrity (so not tabloids) then it was reviewed by a publicist/manager and a bunch of other groups (studio teams, record labels, etc). Hope that helps!!!

To anyone that didn’t understand why Sony was invested in Tom and Zendaya “relationship” this is why

$35+ millions in presale and nobody has seen anything but a 2 minute trailer and it’s not just Marvel fans cause neither Black Widow or Eternals had the same level of presale numbers and it’s been 1 day

This blog is full of it. Being openly supportive of your partner and not wanting paps chasing you down in traffic are two different things. This must be that new age PR where people have to dig for fan encounters and random interactions through obscure SM accounts. They don’t even get spotted as much as some of these other so called celeb couples. T and Z have to be the worst PR couple. They’re just trying to live their lives. They can’t help they’re famous and naturally draw attention so why not show support for each other’s projects while everyone’s analyzing their every move?

Hi see my last post if you’re so inclined. Again I go to work every day in the industry in this exact field so I don’t need to convince myself of anything or y’all. You can believe whatever you like I just want to help y’all understand how some pieces work (without giving it all away)

Y’all I’m sorry I can’t keep repeating the same answers over and over. I’m not asking you to believe and if you don’t hey that’s cool you do you. I’m explaining to you what I know from being in the industry and working in publicity now. Does a public relationship mean it can’t be real? No. Publicity isn’t a bad thing despite the negative connotation people have around it. You need to be in the public eye in order to stay relevant and get roles/ make money and being in a relationship or allowing the public to believe you’re in a relationship are simple ways of building that exposure. Not everything shown to the public is fake either but it would pretty naive to believe that the average celebrity would share their personal relationship with the general public in an interview if they didn’t have something to gain as privacy is always important to most.

You have to understand that Covid-19 has really shifted the way people connect with celebrities. When everyone was locked at home in 2020 and no films were coming out/everything shut down many people turned to celebrities and celebrity gossip for entertainment out of boredom (look at Deuxmoi - a whole thing). PR and Marketing teams noticed that and have capitalized on that concept to help push people to the box office and to buy stuff and it’s worked. At the end of the day it’s business and whether or not someone mixed business with pleasure that’s on them
