Celebrity public relations! There are so many things that celebrities have to do to help keep up with their image. In many cases it’s very easy to see how the celebrities public relations agents are helping with how the public views them.
Lets start our discussion by talking about Paris Hilton, and how the public views her. She has been a major story in the tabloids for so many years. Her first biggest public relations disaster was when she filmed the infamous movie, “A Night in Paris”. It took a lot for her public relations agent to help get her through that one. I have to admit that I had forgotten about that for a while.
Her next big disaster was when she was sentence to go to jail. She got through that disaster too. The main public relations move I remember out of that situation was when Paris Hilton started carrying around a Christian Bible. I also remember her saying that it was her favorite book. All through Paris Hilton’s career, her public relations agent has been working hard to help her with her image.
The next person I want to focus on is Britney Spears. Another big tabloid star, Britney Spears has been through so many public relations disasters. During her past, she has been married and divorced within a short 55 hours; she has been married again to Kevin Kederline, who the media was never impressed with; she has shaved her head, to the shock of everyone; she went through rough patches in getting custody of her children; and she has gone to several rehabilitation centers.
Now, since this years MTV Video Music Awards, the press is saying, “Britney is back”. She even walked away with a few of the awards. Her public relations agent had to have been working overtime to get her back on top.
Lastly I want to talk about Lindsay Lohan, the third and final tabloid star of this blog. We have all seen Lindsay Lohan grow up. From a sweet twin in the “Parent Trap” to a stripper in “I Know Who Killed Me”. Unlike the previous two stars, not much has been done to improve her image lately. Her last movie, “I Know Who Killed Me”, plummeted at the box office. If the public does not like a certain star, then their careers, money wise, seem to dwindle. When Lindsay Lohan was in trouble for drug abuse, she was checked into a rehabilitation center. This helped her image out for maybe two seconds until she was busted for the same thing again. Lindsay has not done too much, career wise, within the last couple of months; but do not think that her public relations agent is doing nothing to enhance her image. I would not be surprised if in a couple of months, the public is singing their praises for Lindsay again.
We can learn a lot from the previous stories. No matter how bad things get for a celebrity, there is no job big enough that a public relations agent cannot do to make it better.
