Parisexposed.com is bad PR for Paris Hilton

ParisExposed.com is really shedding a bad light on Paris Hilton's image. She has always been know as a Party Girl but I'm sure she was not expecting to get hit with all the bad press from that website.

I am not going to even comment on what is floating around the internet (it's really bad). I just want to comment about the PR issues associated with this. Ms. Hilton just launched a lawsuit against the creators of the website along with trying to get the website shut down. However, the creators stated that the material was purchased legally from the storage facility. Even if she can get the site shut down, the information is being floated through the internet faster than a forest fire.
There is currently an article on people.com that parisexposed.com has been shut down however, the site is still up.

Unfortunately, this scandal is even bigger than her infamous tape. Can her publicist Elliot Mintz help turn around this bad press that is brewing? Is the best thing for her to lay low until this goes away?

Paris is currently filming the movie The Hottie and the Nottie on location.

Are Skinny Models being discriminated?

Commentary
by Lifestyle Guru

With all the bans on skinny models happening around the world (except the USA at the moment) are they being discrimated against? But what about the models that are naturally thin? The ones that are not doing unhealthy things to remain thin.

I saw an interview on a fashion television show where a runway coordinator made a comment that if the models had eating disorders they would not be able to complete all the shows because they (skinny models) would not have the energy.

In their defense, I am naturally thin and it took several years after graduating from college to reach the triple digits. I would always get asked do you eat (which is so rude) or you must not eat enough (again rude). I do eat. I love food and I love to cook.

Britney Spears: A Publicist's Dream or Nightmare?

By Lifestyle Guru

Everytime you hear about Britney Spears, attached to her name is the latest "gossip". She's been in the news non-stop ever since her quickie marriage and divorce in Las Vegas, her dating, marrying and now divorcing Kevin Federline, her average record sales for her In The Zone album, the pictures of her driving with her child not in a car sit, befriending Paris Hilton, etc.

There is a long list of things that Ms. Spears has been doing lately that doesn't seem to help her image. I also noticed that her publicist has been working non-stop trying to address each incident and try to put her in a better light.

For some in Entertainment PR they would see Britney as a challenge and would love the opportunity to try to change or improve her image with the public. While, I am sure the others would not want to represent her because she might be seen as a train wreck.
Would I represent her? I don't know, she obviously needs an image overhaul. I think it would be a challenge but I would do it. I know one thing I would suggest (as well as other publicist would agree) that she needs to be seen out in public with her children showing that she is a responsible and caring young mother. Yesterday there was a clip of her on ET last night, she was at dance rehearsal and had Sean Preston in her arms as she watched her dancers perform. At least that's a start.

For any PR professor reading, I think Britney Spears would make a terrific case study, because you can point out her problems and then come up with workable solutions that could "fix" them.

Has Jessica Simpson's Stock Gone Down in Hollywood?

by Lifestyle Guru
(photo credit: chinadaily.com)


Is Jessica Simpson still in high demand? With slightly average record sales for her album "A Public Affair" and mediocre box off sales of both Dukes of Hazzard and Employee of the Month. Will her latest movie Blonde Ambition be a hit with her fans?
Does she need to re-create a new image or is there a way to re-market her current image? MTV's The Newlyweds made her a overnight sensation in 2003 before that she was barely mention unless when she was being compared to Britney or Christina.
I don't know if it was the media or her then publicist who marketed her as the ditzy, girl-next-door. She can't continue to be marketed as such if she wanted to continue her career. If 2006 is any consideration, she was barely on any magazine covers and then she made the goof with Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" song.
Three things that are currently doing well for Ms. Simpson are: 1) HairDo, her wigs and hair extensions collection, 2) Jessica Simpson Shoes, which are sold in Nordstrom, zappos.com, Shoes.com, etc and 3) Jessica Simpson Handbags, are available at Nordstrom, zappos.com and amazon.com
What do I think Jessica Simpson should do? I think if she wants to be taken seriously as an actress she should act in a couple of plays and indie films. She should also go back to the studio and work on a really great and strong album, the "A Public Affair" album was not one of her best.
Will she be able to come out on top again or is she over in Hollywood? What do you think?
