Can celebrity scandals actually help a star?

Answers written for a magazine interview 2005, some facts might be outdated.

Q. Can celebrity scandals actually help a star?

I strongly think it depends on gender. Women are judged more rigidly than men, unless it is Paris Hilton. I think there is primitive thinking if man cheats he is macho and if women she is a whore. What has happened to Meg Ryan since her affair with that mischievous Aussie, Russell Crow? She has all but disappeared.

We have forgiven a charming snake like Bill Clinton who had on more then one occasion inappropriate sexual misconduct. Monica Lewinsky and the rest had their few moments of publicity, only to be placed in history as women without morals or any scruples. They tried to cash in on their short-lived celebrity, but where are they today?

While President Clinton is getting approximately $100,000 to $200,000 for public speaking and has earned from 2001 to 2005 according to Hillary’s Senate ethics report in excess of $30 million.

Q. Does a victim being cheated on or have a sex tape leak make you more sympathetic to the public?

We human beings seem to automatically go for the underdog, the victim, but again look what happened with Giuliani and his wife? He is not a particularly attractive male specimen almost became a bigger celebrity, as if cheating gave him a feather in his hat and Donna Hanover, the former first lady of New York City, is hosting tours of elegant homes across the country.

The sex tape leaks, are pure stupidity, or intentional exposure. ☺

Q. Does being in the press all the time, even if it is embarrassing, raise your profile?

Do we need to go any further than look at Paris Hilton? The more embarrassing the more publicity you get, and it seems the more she thrives on it. God know she has no other talents.

Q. What about Sienna Miller, who Jude Law cheated on her and publicly, apologized?

Apology will quiet down the media some and humanize his public persona but maybe he ought to follow in Kobe Bryant’s footsteps and get Sienna a little trinket. At the rate this boy is misbehaving he’ll keep his jeweler very happy and wealthy. What an insecure little man!!!!! That is all the cheating is, a sign of tremendous insecurity.

Q. Elizabeth Hurley, when Hugh Grant was caught with a hooker?

That is the day their relationship ended. His showing up on Leno’s show was a lifesaver. It’s a sort of dichotomy, cheat on your mate but be honest with your public and it seems all is forgiven. He is one of those celebrities whose charm makes us forget all his shenanigans.

Q. Brooke Shields when Tom Cruise attacked her for having postpartum depression?

I think Tom lost his mind. What qualifies him to talk about female issues? I thought Brook was so gracious about it, however he is an outrageous and a huge disappointment. Is this behavior a reflection of the teachings off Scientology?

Q. Paris Hilton with her sex tape released?

This topic is overdone and outdated so why don’t we move on to the next scandalous poor little rich girl, whose family has more money then God. I am sure they have Donny Deutsch is on instant dial, to put words in her mouth and keep her occupied from putting something else in her mouth.

Q. Martha Stewart when she went to prison?

What a farce that was and she went to prison for what? While hard-core criminals are walking the streets of America free, she was imprisoned. She’ll get richer and bigger than we ever thought it possible, she will make most scrimptions lemonade out of this lemon.

Q. Jennifer Aniston on Brad and Angelina, of course!

Jennifer Aniston is America’s sweetheart who will turn this painful experience into a positive one. Unfortunately Angelina has no consciousness and pretending she is innocent is not going to alleviate the scandal. Brad Pitt is already feeling the pain.

Q. Uma Thurman with Ethan Hawke cheating on her?

Water under the bridge, she overcame it and is a much bigger name than he is. It helps that she is an extremely talented and a stunning looking actress; success in itself is a sweet revenge. Ethan Who?

Q. Vanessa Williams when she was dethroned of her Miss America title because she posed for Playboy?

In retrospect that was a joke, but it might have opened many doors for her that otherwise might have stayed unreachable. She became a huge success in spite or because of what happened or she had some very smart advisers and used the opportunity to rise above it all.

Have you ever been on the beaches of Europe? Everyone is naked. There is nothing wrong with a human body; a morality dictated by some hypocritical puritans who attached a stigma of shame and insecurity of our own flesh. Absurd!!!
