What in the world was comic actress turned filmmaker Charlyne Yi doing on “The Soup” over the weekend?
Pitching her new movie, of course.
Yi, who had a tiny but funny role in “Knocked Up,” created a quasi-documentary called “Paper Heart” which opens Aug. 7. The story follows her attempts to document romantic relationships, and she uses her own romance with actor Michael Cera – they’ve since split – to do just that.
It’s hardly summer movie catnip – no big stars, car crashes or robots – so Yi apparently decided to do a funny appearance on E!’s popular “Soup” program to hawk her film.
She even referred to the so-called indignity of appearing on the notoriously low-brow show. But it’s a safe bet far more people know about her project today than they did a week ago.
