Sitting in a chauffeured SUV, the country singer watched as paparazzi snapped photos of his arrival for a taping last week at “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” A bottle of his favorite whiskey awaited him in his dressing room, where a representative of the late-night show soon turned up bearing more gifts: a stack of mint-condition vinyl records by the likes of George Jones and Johnny Cash. “Very cool,” Church said, inspecting the cover of the Cash album. “He’s so young here.” At 36, this North Carolina native is inching closer to country music’s power center. His third studio disc, 2011’s “Chief,” sold 1.7 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and was named album of the year by both the Country Music Assn. and the Academy of Country Music. It even spawned a top 20 pop hit with “Springsteen,” a plaintive midtempo cut about reminiscing to the sound of the Boss’ “I’m on Fire.” “Historians may not have him on their radar yet,” said ACM head Bob Romeo. “But if we’re looking back 10 or 15 years from now, it’s clear that Eric is making an indelible mark on the genre.” What kind of mark, though? In spite of his recent success, Church insists he’s a country music fringe-dweller — that “it’s a different kind of cloth that we’re cut from,” as he puts it in the new album’s freak flag of a title track. And even more than “Chief,” which brought an ornery rock ‘n’ roll energy to songwriting steeped in country tradition, “The Outsiders” backs him up. “The Outsiders” opens with that title cut, a heavygauge guitar stomp about owning one’s individuality that climaxes with an explosive instrumental section as intense as anything by Metallica or Pantera, both of which the singer said he listened to growing up. (In 2012 Metallica invited Church to play its Orion Music Festival.) “The last minute and a half of the song, I had never, ever, ever heard anything like that on country radio,” he said as he nursed a Jack and Coke at a Beverly Hills hotel before heading to Kimmel’s show. “I’ve not heard anything like that on rock radio for a while. And that’s what I love about it.” The song isn’t the only rave-up on the album, which also contains the AC/DC-ish “That’s Damn Rock & Roll” and a multipart screed against the music business called — oh, yes — “Devil, Devil (Prelude: Princess of Darkness).” Yet Church, who’s married with a 2-year-old son, can be disarmingly delicate too, as in the hushed “A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young,” about finding stability in a committed relationship. And the album has hard-todefine numbers such as “The Joint,” which Church referred to as a cross between JJ Cale and “Rock On” by David Essex, and the disco-streaked “Roller Coaster Ride.” “I don’t know what the hell that one is,” he said with a laugh, crediting his longtime producer, Jay Joyce, with helping to create an atmosphere of open experimentation during the album’s recording. A couple of songs, including “Cold One,” even make prominent use of trombone — a rarity on modern pop, rock or country radio. “I went to this jazz club in San Francisco and just fell in love with that sound,” Church explained. “When I went back to Jay, every song I’d be like, ‘Trombone!’ It became a joke in the studio.” 8 ( WSEC ATT CHANNELS 37 A&E 32 AMC 46 ANPL 29 BET 39 CNBC 26 CNN 45 COM 43 DISN 31 DSC 27 ESPN 59 FAM 50 FNC 48 FOOD 56 FSMW 54 FX 57 HGTV 51 HALL 20 ION 42 LIFE 40 MSNBC 25 NICK 33 SPIKE 67 SYFY 38 TBS 52 TLC 34 TNT 63 TRUTV 30 USA 24 VH1 9 WGN-A 6:00 www.herald-review.com Decatur, Illinois 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 3 News at Six Inside Edition Blue Bloods The Reagan fam- Blue Bloods Someone close Blue Bloods Erin releases a (N) (N) ’ ily suffers a loss. to the Reagans is slain. ’ suspected cop killer.

And in Portuguese. She had to undress in front of her uncle, others informed her on Twitter. She is pregnant, but the identity of the father is unclear, according to another tweet. “@helena, you did a blood pact with your boyfriend (who’s also your cousin) and then went swimming and nearly died,” tweeted someone with the handle @gacta. “I do not remember this” @helena dead-panned in reply. She had a good reason not to: None of those things really happened to Helena Price, a 26-year-old North Carolina State University grad. But Price has become an instant cultural phenomenon in Brazil, famous, essentially, for not being someone else. And for having a sense of humor about it. It started Feb. 3 when a serialized Brazilian soap opera called “Em Familia” (In Family) debuted, featuring a character named Helena. Instantly, Price began getting hundreds of tweets, as Brazilian fans of the show tried to connect with the real star, or accidentally typed Price’s Twitter username, @helena, rather than the topic #helena as they shared their thoughts on the show. At first, Price thought little of it. “I’ve had this before, just from people who don’t know how to use Twitter,” she said in a recent interview by phone from her home in San Birthdays Feb. 21 Helena Price’s acknowledgment of her world status. Francisco. “I could be mentioned in a tweet intended for Helena Bonham Carter, or a DJ named Helena or someone’s best friend Helena. But I’ve been everyone’s Helena at some point on Twitter, so at first it didn’t strike me as that weird. “But then,” said Price, “it blew up.” Initially, Price wasn’t sure what was going on. Then she ran a couple of the tweets through Google Translate and began to figure it out. She quickly adjusted her Twitter profile: “Tall, pale, and half-Norwegian. Full-time photographer who occasionally dabbles in tech. Not the actress, DJ, Brazilian soap opera star, or state capital.” Her good-humored responses led to an almost instantaneous explosion of Actor Gary Lockwood, 77; Actor Peter McEnery, 74; Record company executive David Geffen, 71; Actress Tyne Daly, 68; Actor Anthony Daniels (C3P0 in “Star Wars” films), 68; Actor Alan Rickman, 68; Keyboardist Carpenter Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads, 65; Actor William Petersen (“C;S;I;”), 61; Actor Kelsey © Twitter‌ popularity. Within hours, she had more than 6,000 new followers on Twitter, most of them clearly in on the joke that she really wasn’t connected with the show. Brazilians began circulating photos of her face digitally swapped into scenes from the show, and onto the covers of Brazilian tabloids, or Brazilian icons such as a dancer at Carnival. “Omg, I think I’ve become a meme,” she tweeted. Hundreds of her new followers begged her to come to their country. Others professed their love. Then it spilled out of Twitter. The day after the debut show, her story began popping up all over major Brazilian print and digital media. “American is confused with Helena of ‘Em Familia’ and turns meme on Twitter,” trumpeted a headline on the weekly news magazine “Veja.” A Brazilian TV crew showed up on her doorstep to film this mystery Helena, and a British tabloid reporter and a New York Times tech blogger called. Her new kind of fame was, of course, not even possible before the advent of social media, and she doesn’t know quite what to call it or quite what to think about it. “It went from @replies to the entirety of Brazil being in on the joke, basically, and I became a meme,” Price said. “It’s all really hard to explain.” Price is a serious citizen of the online world. She does photo shoots and creates marketing campaigns for tech companies, promotes her work and theirs via a network of social media channels such as Twitter, Instagram, Vimeo, LinkedIn and Facebook and, of course, on her own website. Even before the Brazilian phenomenon, she had 14,000 Twitter followers. As Price sees it, her odd adventure says as much about Brazilians as it does about social media. “Brazil really has a good sense of humor as a culture, and I have never seen an Internet culture specific to a country that’s so coordinated and focused,” she said. “Someone finds a gem, and the whole country descends on it at once. “It’s clear to me in watching them that this is a form of entertainment that is as significant to them as watching television or watching movies,” she said. “They’re on the Internet and they’re watching Grammer, 59; Singer Mary Chapin Carpenter, 56; Actor Jack Coleman, 56; Actor Christopher Atkins, 53; Singer Ranking Roger of General Public and of English Beat, 53; Actor William Baldwin, 51; Country singer Eric Heatherly, 44; Bleu Bassist Eric Wilson (Sublime), 44; Bassist Tad Kinchla of Blues Traveler, 41; Actress very carefully what the rest of Brazilian Twitter is tweeting about and it’s like this giant organism that ebbs and flows.” Price diligently recorded the presence of the TV crew, shooting selfies for Twitter showing the Brazilians behind her with their video camera, another mirror-image-ofa-mirror-image moment in this saga of odd fame. She still tweets about some of the odder twists in the saga. But her new kind of fame has created a new kind of etiquette problem: she’s struggling to figure out how to balance her more than 10,000 new Brazilian followers with her 14,000 old ones, who presumably will still be around after this surreal bout with international fame is over. “This thing is only superrelevant in Brazil, and Brazil is just all over it, but I’m sure a majority of people in my network are like, ‘Oookaaay, we get it,’ and I don’t want to annoy them,” she said. “So I have to be careful about how much I engage with the Brazilians. But at the same time I don’t want to tick them off and have them be like, ‘Why don’t you reply to us?’ “So I’m in this funny position here, and I think the easiest solution for me it to not tweet very much,” she said It’s also unclear how long her unusual role in Brazilian culture will last. It could be a tad more than the standard 15 minutes. “You know, being a meme you kind of die as quickly as you grow,” she said. “So, it could be something that just fades away. But the show is on another eight months, after all.” Jennifer Love Hewitt, 35; Opera/pop singer Charlotte Church, 28; Actress Ashley Green (“Twilight”), 27; Actress Ellen Page (“Juno”), 27; Actor Corbin Bleu (“High School Musical,” ‘’Jump In!”), 25; Actress Hayley Orrantia (“The Goldbergs”/ former contestant “The X Factor”), 20.
