NYTimes.com: Floating around the Internet is a video of a pre-”Clueless” Paul Rudd hard at work as a bat mitzvah D.J. in the San Fernando Valley in 1992. In shorts, Dr. Martens, a baseball cap, a canary yellow sport jacket and canary yellow tuxedo shirt, Rudd plays air guitar to “Hound Dog” and helps the 13-year-old belle of the ball, in all her pink-ruffled glory, to cheat at limbo, raising one end of the bar so she can slip under it. When a child off camera protests — “Not fair!” — Rudd half-croons, “Hey, pal, it’s her gig.”

I clicked on this article expecting the typical New York Times fascinating, long profile on an up and coming actor. I was quite disappointed. This was a very brief article, offering little information about Rudd, but more information about "Grace", they play he will be starring in. It makes me wonder then, how the NYT goes about choosing people to profile, in particular for their culture section. It always seems to be people who are just about to open a new project, and who are less well known nationally. If they are approached to do those stories as a form of advertisement, could they be limited the amount of time put into them in order to focus on other things?
