Blog CemeteryThe celebrity PR machine - Paris, Nicole, Britney et al
December 13th 2006 05:44
I find celebrity PR really confusing.
So, Britney Spears is supposedly hanging around Paris Hilton to lose her “frumpy mum” image and look like more of a party girl (through the company she’s keeping) – and thus, sell more records in the future??
And, further, by going knickerless when getting out of cabs at nightclubs, she’s hoping a little of Paris’s magic will rub off on her? Er, nooooooo, not going to work, Brits.
The prob is for Britney is that when SHE gets out of cab without knickers it’s enough to make you sick – not buy her sappy records, unlike her skinny, hairless pal, Paris, who ordinary lads appear to want to do anything for… Britney really has lost her all youthful charm…
Oh, yeah and there’s also new shots of the gal pals with Lindsay Lohan. Quite the, er, surprising – and a little insincere - party team, Lindsay, Paris and Britney. I thought Lindsay and Paris had had a fight over a friend (yup, that oil heir Elvis Presley-looking dude) calling Lindsay a smelly fire crotch or some such? Must have patched – or “snatched” – things up!!
Nicole Richie is also apparently hanging around with Paris Hilton again – just in time for the launch of their latest Simple Life series. Funny that. Though it seems to have had a negative effect on Nicole, who has just been caught for “drug driving”. (I thought she’d got rid of all of her problems – eating, drugs and otherwise - by dumping her celebrity stylist, Rachel Zoe. Paris is back on the scene now, however – apparently.)
Then, there’s Posh Spice – ahem, Victoria Beckham – hanging out with Tom Cruise’s woman, Katie Holmes. Probably to make Katie seem more interesting and boost Victoria’s desired “fashion icon” status, by parading outfits in the international paparazzi glare.
Yup, the friends you keep in Planet Hollywood are somewhat dubious - more about publicity, and thus $$$, than true sincerity.
But when you’re commanding six-figure appearance fees to front at parties – a la Paris – who needs real friends?
