Thanks for not biting my head off!
Lou, Philip and Lindyloo – couldn’t agree more with what you’ve said.
Regarding the boy friend (Neil, wasn’t it?), I did have to laugh at the New interview when Michelle says that she ‘dated’ Lee Otway. Good grief. Have her standards dropped that low?
I guess it’s no coincidence that Otway is also represented by UL (and also happens to have a double-page spread in the same magazine). I’m pretty sure that I recall a ‘denial’ about that too at the time.
Back to the boy friend though. If the picture that New have used is supposed to illustrate Michelle and Otway on a ‘date’, then I can only assume that Michelle was ‘dating’ Otway at the same time she was seeing Neil (blog from 19th June states that she and Neil had split ‘recently’, that picture is from much earlier in the year) .
Also the Jamie Foxx mention. The guy was in the country for something ridiculous like 48 hours, and if you believe half of what you read in the papers and on various net sites, then ALL the glamour girls in London ‘caught his eye’, including the atrocious Jodie Marsh.
That’s all I’m saying about that, because otherwise I could get myself into serious trouble.
Christian Slater?
Again, how many women were reported to have ‘caught his eye’ at the opening of ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’? If I remember correctly, one of the Sunday tabloids even ran a kiss and tell a couple of weeks after that with another woman, who’d met him on that opening night. I do recall seeing many posts from the MBO admin on other forums, banging on about how she’d met CS and how wonderful he was – yawn.
As much as I’ve supported Michelle over the past couple of years, and how much I wish to continue supporting her in her future plans, I’ve spent the past 6 months or so, wondering who exactly is benefiting from all this, and I really don’t think it’s Michelle or her old or new fans. UL are doing pretty well off of her back, and so, I believe is the former boy friend.
I’m old enough and ugly enough to realise that PR is all about presenting an image and sometimes bending the truth a bit, but all of this carrying on since January has left a very bad taste in my mouth. I don’t appreciate being treated like an idiot, particularly by somebody who’s wages I am, in effect, paying.
Like you Gill, I hope somebody close to Michelle does read what’s being said, (and by ‘close’ I mean somebody who’s not earning money from their involvement with her) and has a chat with her. If Michelle’s aware of what’s going on and is happy about it, then I’m afraid that means I will no longer be prepared to support her.
