PR
” Sometimes PRs unwittingly give you a clue as to the story – ‘Whatever you do, don’t ask about her sister.’ ‘Of course,’ you say gravely, while mentally shrieking, ‘Her sister? What about her sister?’ You go haring back to the cuttings to find whether her sister is an axe murderess – what it usually means is that the sister has made some disobliging comments about the star. But sometimes it’s odder than that. Tina Brown recently claimed that a PR rang her at Talk magazine demanding a letter ‘with assurances that nowhere in our story about a particular star will we include the detail that the celebrity “bleaches her asshole”‘. Of course, being Tina Brown, she didn’t reveal who the star was – so now I can’t look at a picture of a celeb without wondering, ‘Does she bleach her asshole? “
