Apple 'It' Girl Breaks Silence
First she turned down David Letterman. Then she said no to Jay Leno.
For months, Ellen Feiss, the mysterious Net celebrity who starred in a popular commercial for Apple Computer's "Switch" campaign, refused all interview requests, including those from the two titans of late-night television.
But Feiss, whose fame continues to grow even as she eschews the media spotlight, has finally granted her first sitdown with a reporter, albeit from an unlikely publication.
The interview with the Brown Daily Herald, the college newspaper of Brown University, will be published Friday.
In that article, Feiss reveals she was, as many of her "fans" had guessed, under the influence of drugs during filming of the infamous commercial that shot her to Internet fame, but exactly what she took, editors at the Herald aren't saying; all is revealed in the interview. The best guess is allergy medication, according to online scuttlebutt.
"It wasn't pot," said Zach Frechette, the Herald editor who conducted the interview.
