Kodak's Attempt To Reconnect Fox With Yellow Rose Boy Failed
Remember that story I wrote a few days ago saying that Kodak was offering $5,000 to anyone who could find the yellow rose boy that was snubbed by Megan Fox? Well, guess what? He was FOUND - by Gawker.
The company flew the 11 year old out to NYC in an attempt to get him on the Today Show the same day that Megan was supposed to get interviewed. However, with the news of Michael Jackson's death, the actress was bumped and flown back to LA before ever getting a chance to meet Harvey Kindlon.
If you talk to the people over at 'The Today Show', they say this was never scheduled and are calling it all a p.r. stunt.
"Harvey was never scheduled to appear and we don't plan to have him on."
A source tells Page Six,
"Kodak basically put this kid on a plane on the off-chance that he'd get to meet her. They never even confirmed with 'Today.' Now they're offering him around for interviews. It's exploitative and creepy."
What do you think about this whole thing? Do you find it odd that Kodak would just fly this kid to NY without really having a plan once he landed? How did they think they would just "get to meet her"? Millions of people would love to get to meet Megan right? And then what about the fact that the company is shopping him around for interviews?

It seems to all be about PR .. which is sad for the kid really!! I hope the family catches on to it all and deals with it appropriately. It seems kind of creepy that Kodak is "shopping him around for interviews!" Just trying to make a buck!!

Kodak needs to butt out. Megan wants to meet him, you can tell from the interview she did when she talked about the whole situation. He will get to meet her, I just hope it's not through Kodak. Strange situation.

He is an 11 yr old kid trying to get famous for hanging out and meeting celebs. Why do we continue to support this? This boys parents need to be more responsible with him and give him somthing more positive to do.

I don't think he's trying to get famous. He probably just thinks it's cool to meet famous people and it's his little hobby.
this all because americans hate to "WORK" for their money and love to share B*LLSH*T about thousends, millions and BILLIONS of dollars, folks.
STRANGE THE COUNTRY IS BANKRUPT?

It was an one time incident, and Kodak shouldn't use this poor kid for making money.

Maybe he wasn't necessarily supposed to be on the show. Maybe Kodak flew him in to NY so he could give Megan the rose when she leaves the studio, as he tried to do before. That would make more sense. I don't think scouting around at other talk shows to see if they would like to talk to him is "exploitive". This "anonymous source" for Page Six acts like Kodak is trafficking him. The kid is in town for a short period of time, why not use his time wisely since Megan had to jet back to LA. Diane Sawyer does a lot with "internet sensations" on her online broadcast. I thought for sure he would be on that!
If he wants to chase celebrities around and have his picture with them, I don't see the harm in that. He's ELEVEN! He looks up and admires these people. What's wrong with meeting your idols??? I wish I could meet some of mine!

I saw on another site the kid has had many photos taken with celebrities, Lady GaGa comes to mind. He looks a little like Wolfie Van Halen :)

This girl is very pretty, but the crap and stupidity that comes outta her mouth are serious garbage. just sit there and look pretty Megan!
Ok- I thought this was stupid idea for the get go- but now it's even worse! They tell this kid that he is going to -for sure- meet Megan Fox and so they will fly him across the county so they can have this wonderful moment- but they don't even try to contact Megan to make sure it can happen? Poor Kid

I hope he still gets to meet her! This just makes Kodak look badddd.
Megan Fox is so blah. From head to two. In interviews, she annoys me she can't even speak. Ugh enough of her..
Follow me!
for all the Good Old Los Angeles Drama***

All this effort for nothing. Well, at least the boy got a free trip to New York.
...and what a interesting story! :-)

My family and I will be moving to the Great Yarmouth, England area....Yarmouth is beautiful, but coming from Southern Louisiana, USA we are a little concerned with flooding. We don't want a long commute to work, does anyone have any recommendations about where in the area is more suitable?
