Is Recanting the New Self-Promotion?

In the spirit of Hillary Clinton’s proposal to hit the do-over button on her vote for the Iraq war, soon-to-be-unemployed Jamie-Lynn Sigler denounced her own album Here to Heaven in this month’s issue of Vegas magazine ... six years after the fact.

“There was no creative process at all. It was a very packaged thing, and people were wanting to capitalize on The Sopranos,” she said. “I take responsibility — I was part of it — but I hated every moment of it. I was faking it the whole time.”

Of course, the Vegas article itself is capitalizing on The Sopranos — this is its last season, after all, and Jamie-Lynn isn’t really known for much else — and most any project Jamie-Lynn gets after The Sopranos ends will similarly be capitalizing on her association with the show.

Which begs the question: Can anything Jamie-Lynn does after this be trusted to not be “faking it”?

Next time, she’d do well to take a page from Mandy Moore’s song book and not admit to deceit and cynical money-grabbing while simultaneously denouncing the old and plugging the new.
