I finally got a response…..I was so thrilled…..lol This is just hilarious….
Here's the response:
Doreen - Hello. Alright, being that you have have called me out; I think I owe an explanation. The thing is, I am not Mr. Dan Aykroyd as you have figured out; however am associated with him and several other Hollywood and sports celebs. My name however happens to be Daniel. I work at Mr. Aykroyd's agency, Creative Artists Agency in L.A. Many film/television, sports, and comedy personalities are managed through this agency. The ones that have myspace accounts have someone from their representation firm run the site for them and reply to fans, directors, writers, or what have you. Mr. Aykroyd has several legit myspace accounts, however does not personally log into any of them.
He does however receive all messages and replies in person to autograph requests that are received. The email address I intended to supply was of course not Mr. Aykroyd's private account linked to his own personal PC, however, that particular account is where he receives the majority of his personal business emails and select fan emails. Fans choosing to contact Mr. Aykroyd, or any other celeb through their business email account must do so abiding by some conditions set by either the celebrity or the agency, or sometimes both. The reason being that many celebs log into their agency email accounts. They set these conditions for fans so that no junk email, hate mail, or anything of that sort reach these people while all they are trying to do is make a living.
As for the misinformation, this was done for two reasons. First, even though various celebrities do business through their chosen agency(s), no one but the studios, the star's direct agent, and the star themselves, or their lawyers are permitted to say anything regarding their upcoming work. It is a liability issue, and we can lose our jobs if we were to comment on anything we are not supposed to. Also, much of the time we are kept out of the loop on their projects to begin with. I hear bits and pieces of the latest not just for Mr. Aykroyd's and Ms. Dixon ( His wife's ) work, but some other stars' as well. Again, I am not permitted to say anything regarding their work.
I mainly run Mr. Aykroyd's myspace page, as well as that of many other Hollywood Celebs.
Sorry for any unintended confusion and or deception. I hope this helped you understand a little bit better why things were done the way they were. Anything further I might be able to help you with, so long as it does not involve direct comment on a star's work or status, I will be happy to assist any way I can.
Thank you for writing and for your steadfast support of Mr. Aykroyd and his work. He greatly appreciates every one of his fans.
Take care and God Bless,
Daniel
