NEW YORK Macy’s new celebrity-filled commercial, which made its debut on the Emmys last night, features some amusing performances from the famous faces who sell their branded lines at the national retailer. It’s less than an hour until the store opens and the brand stewards take their places and give their sections last-minute finishing touches. Emeril Lagasse is seen furiously chopping, vegetable bits flying around him; Martha Stewart fusses with the towels; Usher sprays an employee with his perfume (“Your body heat will diffuse it naturally,” he says as he flashes her a flirty smile); and Sean Jean runs through a rehearsal with the sales team, telling them his brand is about strength and detail.
