I have been sent this in the post – an ingenious new device – a paper mask from the cuddly scorpions at Holy Moly. The blurred mask is part of a great campaign from Holy Moly reiterating their distaste for the current climate in celebrity photography. Holy Moly being the first “sleb missive” to announce…
She’s just another chav with a cheating boyfriend so I shouldn’t really give a **** but I find Cheryl Cole’s situation astounding. Her ritual humiliation at finding out her partner Cashley Cole, had ended up with an old Premier Football team groupie has led her to lose lots of weight, go to Thailand, get a…
I notice the Guardian has picked up on my blog over the weekend about Tom Cruise, Scientology and the web community. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/feb/04/news
2008 is a bad PR year for Tom Cruise. “Being a scientologist, when you drive past an accident, it’s not like anyone else when you drive past. You know you have to do something about it because you know you’re the only one that can really help”. http://gawker.com/5002269/the-cruise-indoctrination-video-scientology-tried-to-suppress.
Whoops what a celebrity slip up this morning. The unguarded comments made by Martin Amis appear in the Independent . The flak who policed the interview needs to be shot. The following extract might just cause the author a few problems. “And he has always loved this multiracialism, he says.” At that time, I had a Pakistani girlfriend,…
The media’s feeding frenzy on poor old Britney’s latest crisis has suggested that further slips into the pit of despair, have actually been a boon to her record sales. Clearly the media who feed from her problems balance it out by suggesting that they can gaup and plunder column inches and that somehow it does…
2007 will go down in history as an extremely busy year for the humble spin meisters in mediaville. There were plenty of things to occupy the media that had a PR overtone, beginning with the meltdown over celebrity Big Brother’s racist poppadom gate which gave Channel 4 a lot to think about and threatened the…
Out of the jungle and into the spotlight for Cerys Matthews Cerys Matthews might have sung “It’s all over the front page” in trademark song Road Rage, but the same could not be said of her in recent years. Until three weeks ago, that is, when the former Catatonia singer joined the gaggle of famous…
The last 48 hours have been very odd for me, not only because I have the flu, but I’ve been taking calls from Malcolm McLaren from Brisbane, the location for yet another series of “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here”. He’s not a client of mine but a friend asking for advice. Clearly…
Forensically picking through the PR damage that is left after Heather Mills McCartney’s Halloween PR onslaught, I can only conclude that it was an emotionally crude crusade of her own design. The harm inflicted on her tattered brand after sweeping across media Ville was nothing short of catasphrophic. The screaming banshee is now a textbook…
