Eliza Dushku served as the official celebrity ambassador for the Entertainment Matters program at the Consumer Electronics Show this week.
We caught up with the actress — known for playing Faith on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and roles in movies including “Bring It On” — at the Wynn in Las Vegas, where she was hosting Spike TV’s VIP CES party at Tryst nightclub. Her gig as ambassador was intended to promote the relationship between the tech and entertainment industries.
“You’re seeing kids that watch all their programming on iPhones or whatever smartphones they have,” Dushku said. “So it’s important that we’re on top of that.”
Dushku said she planned to walk the show floor with her boyfriend, former Laker Rick Fox, and wanted to check out the 4K and 8K televisions. “I remember last year going home [from CES] and looking at my own televisions and feeling like it was completely Stone Age,” she said.
Calling herself a bit of a techie, Dushku, who has done voice work for video games in the past, rattled off a long list of her favorite tech products, including her BlackBerry and iPad. But her No. 1 item is her Bug Vac, the kind you buy from those SkyMall airline shopping magazines, she said.
“If a bug’s on the wall, you extend the telescope-y thing and you suck the bug and it pulls it in and it fries it on a little metal plate,” she said. “I love that thing. I can’t live without it.”
And it works?
“Oh, full on, you smell the bugs burning on the plate,” she said. “Sorry, but better than crawling up my face.”
