I’m not sure you’re pitting the right people. Shouldn’t the photographers who took the pictures and the paper who published them be the object of scorn. BTW, you should include a warning that the link contains nudity. ---

No. The point is that the picture is a set-up BY the whorish couple. Paparazzi with flash couldn’t have got those shots. She smiles in three separate shots. If there had been flashbulbs and she was genuinely caught in an embarassing situation, she would have been scowling the second and third time. The whole thing is a transparent publicity stunt to get them in the newspapers while she has a single fast-falling in the charts, and doubtless another dire album soon on the way. Oops about Jade Jagger, I didn’t originally spot that she had a nip in sight. Still, no jungles or pythons or anything, and what you can see is pretty blurry. Sorry if it crossed the two-links-away line. ---

I don’t think i’ve ever seen that skeletal scrotebag smile. 1: who gives a fuck? 2: I hate them 3: why waste time on these plebs. ones a moron with football skills, the others a glorified council estate pidgeon who really, REALLY can’t tell that her 15 minutes were up about 5 years ago. ‘posh’ (geh!) is possibly the most unattractive mang I ever did see. STOP STOP STOP right now. I don’t want to see your faces anymore. ---

Of course it’s a set up. Once out of their house, these people never do _anything_ without managing it. > [@](#): > > And, as one bystander said: “It was more a case of Nob-out than Nobu, from what we could see.

This should read: And, as one NEWS OF THE WORLD JOURNALIST COMPLETELY MADE UP: “It was more a case of Nob-out etc.” That it was a set up can never be in question, but it is possible to have a true story jazzed up with made up quotes. The London Bus Found On Moon driven by a hamster-cannibalising Freddie Starr has more veracity than this. ---

It’s always nice to see a thread title that’s one hundred per cent accurate … ---

Someone explain to me why anyone actually cares about those two? Hell, I’m an astronomer with nigh upon no life, and my life’s more interesting than theirs.
