Celebs Publicity Pt.2

Another example of very good publicity!
Gosh I love find these things around. Kim Kardashian tweeted to her 9,485,192 followers about the book 'Embraced By The Light' by Bettie Eadie. 

No better publicity, right?

Excellent -expensive- publicity idea.

Recently I've noticed a relatively new trend. I'm well aware that product placement is anything but new, the latest, obvious example was Britney Spears' video for Hold it Against Me, where she made $500k for randomly showing various products, while badly pretending to lip-sync.
Anyway I've noticed that more and more celebrities are getting pap'd showing off a book.
I think the way Kate Bosworth is holding the book is quite pretentious, almost like she wanted to show the product off..or just let us know that she's oh! so smart!

Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master & Margarita

Another example is lovely Sandra Bullock, pictured whilst holding her sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, new cooking book Sugar Baby (what a coincidence!)

Here some other examples:

I think that if you manage to get a celebrity pap'd with your book, you're OK with your annual sales targets!
