Unwitting, Unpaid Extras (Who Are They?)
When Kim Kardashian, star of the popular reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians goes shopping on uber-trendy Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles followed by the invited cameras of Entertainment Tonight and throngs of paparazzi, the sales clerks who work in these stores end up being unwitting, unpaid extras in Kardashian’s publicity campaign.
Do they get paid? No way. But if you want to be close to top stars, and appear on TV regularly (as an unpaid prop), get a job in a top celebrity hangout. What can beat the thrill of helping Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus or Kim Kardashian pick out clothes and see yourself regularly on national TV?
