It’s not news that the 22-year-old daughter of Jim Carrey, frontwoman of the Jane Carrey Band, is expecting a baby soon with a musician fiancé relieved that he won’t have to quit his night job. What’s new is that Jim is on Twitter, and now that he’s winding down promotional duties for A Christmas Carol, the birth is the main thing on his 47-year-old brain — or, you know, it was yesterday: “can’t wait! i will build him a tree house in my beard.” (A statement followed, like many of his tweets, by a cryptic emoticon code.) Fear not, man-children of the universe! Jim is looking out for you with a social media strategy no celeb has bothered with in a decade: a vanity website. Which is blowing everybody’s mind, because the design by Flash-happy Hollywood webmakers 65 Media is likely hiding so many surprises, it’s impossible to leave feeling that you haven’t missed something. A click on the “Origins” section leads one down a rabbit hole that crashes into a clothesline of images — both Carrey family snapshots, and unexpected video clips like his impression of Henry Fonda in On Golden Pond on the CBC, while tweets fly over the Toronto skyline. Grandpa, this is too confusing!
