The Celebrity Beat…
I don’t know anybody who isn’t dreading the day we lose Michael J. Fox. Except perhaps NCS.
They’re so looking forward to it, that they jumped the gun yesterday and posted an article and video titled, “Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox”.
Michael’s rep shortly denied his demise, saying he’s “doing great,” and noting that he was simply at a significant media occasion known as PaleyFest on Tuesday, the place he was giving interviews.
Then NCS issued a press release saying, quote, “The package was published in error; we have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family.”
As morbid because it sounds, media retailers DO get a bounce on producing obits and memorial items for sure celebrities. But in doing so, they run the danger of unintentionally posting them prematurely, as NCS simply did.
