Like Pascal points out, marrying a Hollywood celebrity is not exactly a long term investment of time and effort.
And one more risk: tabloids and color weeklies (what's the generic terms for those? Mostly consisting of photos and gossip?) (Maybe those mags are a European phenomenon.) I could think of few crueler fates than being featured regularly in such rags. Except becoming president. Man, you have to be an idiot or a glutton for punishment to want that.
bush is both.
ReplyDeleteHa! I'd remain anonymous too, before I made a comment like that one. You can never be too careful in these "war on terror" times. ;-)
ReplyDeleteFunny thing : in France, tabloids are considered an anglo-saxon cultural quirk, originating from the U.S. and the U.K.!

ReplyDeleteAs I believe they do - I've never seen as many of these celebrity magazines before I moved to Australia. Seems to be an anglo-saxon thing, and it seems to have an impact on people, too - never seen so many "streamlined" people/opinions before, either - kind of scary, really...
Ronald,
ReplyDeleteIf you think THIS is scary, just think about the people who are getting skinned alive in these rags! (Yikes!)
Yes, poor buggers...
ReplyDeleteAlso seems as if there's no way out for them - makes me think I understand what the text of "Hotel California" actually refers to...
