(Originally released on February 10, 2020)

Here again is the Guardian interview where Max Martin talks about the difficulties of fame.

Here are Blue, 5ive and S Club 7.

Lainey from Lainey Gossip (our fav!) has lots of examples of celebrities cherry picking when they demand privacy and when they use personal stuff to promote projects/distract from other things:

• Here’s an example of a staged pap shoot at a time when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were trying to distract from divorce rumors.

• Here’s an example of Mila Kunis talking about when her and Ashton Kutcher first hooked up and another example of her talking about being pregnant on Ellen.

• Here’s an example of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s children drawing more coverage to his walk of fame ceremony.

• And read here, here, here and here about Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard’s anti-pap campaign.

Thank you for listening!
