As Scary As Hell...

This has got to be inner-circle material, in anyone's book:

The New York Post reports the publicist's email read, "We are pleased to announce Amy Adams carrying the Valentino Garavany [sic] Rockstud Duble [sic] bag from the Spring/Summer 2014 collection on Feb. 6 in New York."

A USA Today entertainment reporter tweeted her response after receiving the email, using the hashtags "tasteless" and "ew."

ABC reports a representative for Adams calls the publicity stunt "truly appalling" and confirms the actress was not aware of her name being used for this purpose.

But Valentino might not be the only one in hot water for seemingly using Hoffman's wake as a publicity venture.

As the New York Post reports, UGG Australia sent boots as gifts to celebrities attending the wake and funeral, hoping they would wear them for publicity purposes.*

W.W.P.T/S/M?

* UGH -- a gift bag at a funeral?
That's a new one to me...
