Liz Jones normally writes rather amusing pieces about fashion or her own life, and the pieces about her own life invite a lot of criticisms from people who see that as narcissistic and self-absorbed. A lot of readers don't pick up on Liz's humour, which is a shame, because she's rather clever and witty. She won a prestigious industry award recently, because she ' divides opinion as a good columnist should'.
The most inflammatory article (IMO) was one which criticised Rhianna for being a bad role model for youngsters (citing promo photos of her posing with giant spliffs, displaying a gun tattoo and a gun phone cover, swigging champagne out of a bottle, a birthday cake shaped like a giant marijuana leaf, etc). She also lamented the fact that Rihanna returned to an abusive relationship after being badly beaten up by her boyfriend, thus missing an opportunity to be a positive role model for victims of abuse.

I like her columns generally - they're chatty, self-deprecating and amusing. The Rihanna one seemed a bit harsh, given that she's so young and people like Madonna have been doing similar stuff for years.. but she made some valid points.
