Today in Sh*tty Emails from Publicists Who Don't Read Scanner: Diet Cookies

Posted by Emily Farris

 

If there's one thing we hate more than publicists sending emails to our personal addresses, it's publicists sending emails about celebrity diets to said email addresses.

Today's offender is Danielle Mayer from the repeat-offending firm 5WPR. The subject line: "Story Idea: American Idol Stars Drop the Pounds by Eating Cookies!"

Anyone who actually reads this blog knows that while we do love cookies, we don't give a fuck about American Idol and the only pounds we like to drop are on a Big Mac when we visit London. And the worst part? She didn't even offer us any damn cookies!

Hi Emily,

The newest item to hit the celeb “weight loss” airways is Dr. ******’s C**KIE DIET. Recently seen all over the news, many celebs such as American Idol Stars, Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson have been said to have lost weight on this diet. Now becoming the hottest trend amongst celebrity dieting, and with the recent opening of the first ever C**kie Diet store in ******** *****, celebs are flocking to this diet to drop the extra pounds without ignoring their sweet tooth. 

Just by eating six cookies a day plus a sensible dinner, the diet that has helped over 500,000 people lose weight effectively, helps to suppress hunger and is now widely available to everyone! I would love to offer you an interview with Dr. ****** himself and/or one of his many weight loss success stories (some of who have lost 120lbs!).

Please let me know if you’d like more information on the diet trend that has entered the lives of your favorite celebs and everyday people! Thanks, and I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best,

Danielle


If you really wanted to get our attention, Danielle, you would have done a little more research, gotten our mailing address and sent us some damn cookies. Or how about "please let me know if you'd like some damn cookies!" Publicity FAIL.

I'd like to add that we received an e-mail from a cigar company proudly proclaiming the fact that Monica Lewinsky "used" their cigars. Yes, this was in the year 2 thousand and 9.
