  "account": "Pop music sensation Role Model, born Tucker Pillsbury, discussed whether he holds the title of the most famous person from Maine during an appearance on the final season premiere of Amelia Dimoldenberg's \"Chicken Shop Date\" show. The host noted that both Stephen King, the renowned horror author, and Anna Kendrick, a popular actress, are also from the Pine Tree State. Pillsbury conceded that King has sold more books and made more money, but claimed that he, too, has achieved success in his own right, with his latest album \"Chuck Timely & The Hourglass\" debuting in the top 10 on six Billboard charts. Indeed, the album sold 24,000 copies in its first week in the United States. Dimoldenberg prodded Pillsbury about his celebrity preferences, leading to a playful exchange about his type—specifically, his attraction to brunettes.",
