On Don't You Wish You Looked Just Like Cheryl Tweedy?
Emma,
Erm when was the last time you were in the UK? You do realise that the amounts she's worth is BS? Because how did she get that? Really..
And 'national treasure'? Really? Just spend one hour, no, spend one minute on the Daily Mail comments about her. In fact spend any minutes on any UK site about her.
Sigh. I hate the way this country has gone. It's like we have one frigging PR agency that has all the media in her pockets (she also looks after Alexa Chung) and looks after every blimming UK star, creating this warped sense of reality about who is actually popular or who sells or who has money. It's all BS but you Americans always buy it.
Surely you get that you guys do the same with Jennifer Aniston (pr agent Stephen Huvane who also reps Ann Hathaway as well as Gwenyth Paltrow)? I mean is the American population really that desperate to see her all the time?
Sigh.

On Celebrities And The "Rape" Of Photography
I won't even waste my breath to try go academic on this, even though I was an art student. I will say a few things though.
1, Susan S is full of .... And I dont agree in the least about Arbus's images. She purposefully made them staged and stiff to show the absurdity in taking an image of someone at the first place. Life is staged after all, photograph or no photograph.
2. Your whole article is so biased that it becomes mute and simple some sort of sycophantic ode to celebrities. Did you research about paparazzi's? Did you even research about what a publicist actually does?
3. Ahhh The master manipulators. They ain't that bright but human beings are so insanely irrational that they have the ability to make their uneducated client-few celebs have gone to higher education-believe that the Paps are psychic (who do you think called them my little narcissist?) and the ability to make the sheep like celeb obsessed public believe that it's those big bad Paps chasing your favorite STAR!!! Ahhhh!!!
Please look up the great and blimming honest publicist Max Clifford, an English man always talking about the absurdity of celebrities and how his clients know a helluva lot more then they let on. Look up Mr Paparrazzi an Australian man based in London who did a string of docs explaining who, ahem, tips them. You may not like it... And lastly, Stephen Huvane publicist to most starlets from Jennifer Aniston to Anne Hathaway. Just google his shennagins. Oh and ever wonder why we EVERYTHING that Aniston does but NOTHING that Hathaway does? I mean, could it be, cough, that you can control, cough, the amount of public coverage that you get?
5. Google hilarious happenings with Tom and Katie orchestrating their 'just taken in the street photos' and the Paps tatting on them, lol. "why are they going back and forth in the same place waiting for us to ake their picture?"
6. Everything about Johnny Depp is fake. But I guess now that your over it? Zzzz...
