People’s best and worst of 2007
In today’s video, People’s Ericka Souter discusses her magazine’s end-of-year double issue featuring the best and worst of 2007. Patrick Dempsey is the stand-out celebrity, and makes the cover as ‘Star of the Year’. Inside, there’s an interview with President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush. In addition, People pays tribute to […]
The Sarkozy–Bruni romance is in the Zeitgeist
Nicolas Sarkozy, the President of France, is enjoying a heck of a publicity honeymoon. First, he won the election. Then, he went to the US and gave a speech to the Joint Houses that had everyone from Dubya to Hillary applauding. His speech citing Israeli–Palestinian peace a few days ago was largely well received. And now, […]

We’ve noted that the nice folks at StyleInn have started including Lucire: Insider as part of their coverage, as have others, and welcome them. A Feedburner link is at the top right […]
Eva Mendes shows cheeky PETA campaign
On the Lucire site today: the glamorous and very curvy actress Eva Mendes stars in the new PETA ‘I’d rather go naked than wear fur’ campaign. Lucire is known to many animal cruelty campaigners and to PETA for its continual support of their causes, so unlike some publications covering the story, we practise what […]
We’re so used to Doug being the guy with the camera that at his own farewell at Wellington Airport, no one had one. Except those cameras on those newfangled cellphones. Alas, here is Mr Rimington heading to the gate in a less than stellar photograph—probably the way he prefers it since he doesn’t like […]
Times of India runs phony Victoria’s Secret story
Spotted at the Times of India on December 1: Australian model Miranda Kerr has revealed Hilton acted like a princess backstage at a lingerie range fashion show and stole her gorgeous runway out?t. The 24-year-old model has revealed the whole incident on a blog, which ultimately left the hotel heiress humiliated when she had an […]
The Delta Goodrem–Brian McFadden about-face
[Cross-posted] I spotted the below on Ninemsn today and thought, ‘Poor Brian.’ I clicked on the ?rst link and found quite the opposite: It’s not as embarrassing as the network, and the Murdoch Press, reporting on the Miranda Kerr incident two years late and getting the venue wrong, but it’s still an about-face. Netizens will […]
San Francisco Chronicle reports Miranda Kerr–Paris Hilton incident
Fascinating: after our post exposing the Miranda Kerr v. Paris Hilton incident at Victoria’s Secret to be false—or at least ridiculously inaccurate, with media outlets getting the year and the venue wrong—the Chronicle’s SFGate.com still reported it. It has taken the post down now, but not before Google News found it: Yes, we are […]
The Miranda Kerr v. Paris Hilton incident actually happened in 2005
Quite a few people will have caught the gossip that Miranda Kerr, the Australian model, was upset when Paris Hilton waltzed in to a Heatherette show in 2005 and chose a pink dress that Kerr was scheduled to wear on the catwalk. The organizers obliged and Kerr decided she would leave the matter to karma. […]
It’s not ‘Volante’, but I still read it
I spotted the Australian Travel & Leisure when in Sydney and I’ve noticed now the word Australia has become the words Australia & New Zealand very quietly. And being an American Express card member here (wank factor time: Platinum) I am going to be getting these babies free for the next year. The funny thing […]
