Apple’s ‘Planet of the Apps’ Reality Series Adds Jessica Alba
But the list of familiar faces that will be positioned as “mentors” to up-and-coming developers has grown yet again. It’s been reported by Variety that Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four, Sin City) has been added to the cast of mentors, which already includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Will.i.Am, and Gary Vaynerchuk.
“I started The Honest Company because I saw an opportunity in the market for a brand that spoke to conscious consumers and created safe and effective products for every need,” said Alba said in a statement. “As a mentor on ‘Planet of the Apps,’ I’m looking forward to meeting entrepreneurs looking to address a problem with an innovative solution, and to help them realize their vision. I can’t wait to see the ideas the app developers bring to the table.”
Since launching Apple Music, Apple has helped create various projects, like short documentaries, that are meant to promote its on-demand music-streaming service.
For instance, the company partnered with cultural news network Vice on the documentary series “The Voice” about the local music scenes and will bankroll a dark semi-autobiographical drama starring Beats co-founder and its executive Dr. Dre.
