Music vs. beauty

The Ideagrove blog may be my favorite PR-related blog.  It's beautifully comprehensive and well-balanced.  Every day there's something to learn -- more there than I can absorb, regrettably.

There's a pointer today to a story from the New Orleans Times-Picayune about Ashlee Simpson.  It's a knee-slapper -- you can't believe the shallow world these celebrities occupy and the lame way their "publicists" run around trying to control images (in this case, waffling between a music story or a "beauty" story).  I would say God help us if this spills over into the business world, but in a lot of ways I think it already has.
