And shes far too thin considering she's had two children.

She always looks miserable. Whats wrong with her?
I'd be miserable too if cameras were constantly pointed at my face.

Perhaps money doesn't buy you happiness after all?
Maybe not, but I'd enjoy myself trying to find out for sure!

She can choose not to attend celeb parties and do photoshoots if she wants to.

Thats a good point. Post by: Cherry_Ripe on May 09, 2006, 03:34:59 pm

Agreed, but these days photographers are everywhere, not just at photoshoots and parties. She is photographed all the time so people are bound to focus on the times she looks fed-up!

People who want that lifestyle and get paid as much money cannot suddenly decide they want their privacy.
Don't get me wrong, I can't stand the woman and I am not saying she shouldn't be photographed. All I am saying is that when you have your photograph taken so much, the ones which are published in the tabloids are bound to be the ones which are not so flattering because the papers will sell more if they go with a anorexia / breakdown type of miserable story. If you want to see people's flattering photos then you need to look at a glossy magazine, Hello! or the like.

i agree with you Cherry but personally, I absolutely hate the cult of celebrity following. A celeb only has to fart to get their photo and a story in the newspaper. I read a good daily broadsheet but still get celebs plastered all over the front page and sometimes inside as well. I certainly don't want to read a glossy mag with more celeb stories - there are much more interesting people to read about. there are people out there risking their lives in dangerous situations to help those in need (war-torn countries, famine-torn countries, natural disasters etc) but they get very little help, support or exposure beacuse people are too busy wondering what dress some bimbo is going to wear to the Oscars.

Publishers put what people want to read in the papers - it's as simple as that.QUOTE]I don't think that's strictly true. Buying most things these days is a compromise, you don't get 100% of what you want.
In the case of a newspaper I don't mind spending a few pence if there is a particular article / puzzle / supplement I want if that means I only read half the paper or maybe even less. Sometimes I buy a paper just for the DVD with it. Yes, I have increased their sales for one day but it doesn't mean want to read their paper.

Publishers put what people want to read in the papers - it's as simple as that. If people weren't interested they wouldn't publish it. I remember hearing a Radio 4 programme at the time of Posh and Becks' wedding. A group of pseudo-intellectuals were pontificating about how awful it was that The Sun had featured the wedding on its front page instead of what was happening in Kosovo. I nearly laughed out loud. The Sun is a tabloid, celeb weddings etc. are the sort of story it was designed to cover!
There is some truth in what you say Smurfy. Heat magazine is a top seller every week.
The OK edition which covered the Beckhams wedding was something like their all time biggest selling issue.
But like Oldspice stated, you wouldn't expect to see celeb trash in the Telegraph or the Guardian.
