Red Carpet Crimes and Misdemeanors
The absolute best commentary on le monde noir of celebrity appearances and endorsements was an episode a few seasons back on The Sopranos, when Christopher kept getting dissed at a celebrity gifting suite while he was in Beverly Hills pitching his Godfather knockoff. So incensed that he wasn't granted access to the free electronic gizmos and leather goods, he belted Betty Bacall (that's Lauren, please, if you don't know her personally) in the kisser and made off with her haul bag. Since no amount of embarrassing media coverage has dimmed the shameless behavior of greedy celebrities and the sycophants who surround them, I thought it was time to create this little primer. Hope this helps.

How do I decide which celebrity is best for my event?
Good news! It apparently makes no difference at all who you get, which saves lots of tedious brainstorming. My favorite pairing: Tara Reid, at the height of her falling-down-drunk/baring-breasts period, promoting a Colin Cowie J.C. Penney line. Seems to me the proverbial bull in the china shop would have been safer. MORE >>
