On Thursday night a young woman by the name of Katherine Keating attended a Halloween party in Sydney which was hosted by Absolut Vodka. She was dressed as Any Winehouse. And she seemed to be channelling Amy’s attitude as well.
Now, I don’t expect anyone to know who Katherine Keating is. But here in Australia she has a very minor celebrity status. I don’t really know what she does for a living. But her dad is former Australian Prime Minister, Paul Keating.
At this Halloween party, a photograph was taken of Katherine for the Sunday Telegraph’s social pages. Katherine lost her temper with the photographer, grabbing her arm and threatening to throw her down the stairs.
“That’s an illegal photo – you have to delete it,” she said.
“Do you want me to throw you down the stairs and kill you?
“I’m going to make your life a living hell if you don’t delete it, and you will regret it forever.”
As the photographer turned away, Katherine kicked her in the shins.
Here’s the full article just so you can see I’m not making this up.
Katherine has been a bit of a regular on the social scene over the last 10 years. And in the past few months she’s been happy as a clam to pose for photos at other social events.
Here’s where it starts to get more intersting. And here’s where Miranda might end up with egg on her face.
After the story about his daughter broke, former Prime Minister Paul Keating issued a statement suggesting that privacy laws in Australia should be changed so that media organisations would have to gain a person’s permission before publishing a photograph or a story deemed to involve their private life.
All well and good.
Except for Australia’s favourite supermodel. Everytime she is interviewed, Miranda Kerr cannot help but open her big, fat, trap and comment about her truly loving relationship with Orlando Bloom, even though she proclaims to be a private person who doesn’t like to talk about her private life. And they appear together regularly in photographs. And whether he’s in the photos with her or she’s by herself, she still seems to be referred to mainly as Orlando Bloom’s girlfriend (or more recently, my most favourite yet, the place where Orlando Bloom parks his penis). So technically just about everything that is printed (articles or photos) about Miranda Kerr is alluding to her private life.
Which means, of course, that should these new laws be passed, Miranda would have to give permission to the media to print articles and photos of herself. This in turn would shatter the image she has tried to build for herself as an honest, down to earth, country girl who is fiercely protective of her privacy.
But it also puts her in a quandry. Because if she doesn’t give her permission in order to maintain the allusion of privacy, then there’ll be no more articles on Miranda in Australia. No more photos of her either.
Oh my God! No more papp set ups in Australia, no more publicity! It would just about kill her if the Australian media didn’t fawn all over her like she’s some sort of superstar.
I’ll leave you with the “immortalised in writing” words of commenter James from Sydney….
Pass the law now so as we can stop being bombarded by pictures of so called “celebrities”. I try to avoid seeing them but every time you turn on the telly, pick up the paper or purchase a piece of news related literature you have these people staring back at you banging on about one thing or another. Most of them are extremely dull and the balance are dim witted.
I just can’t decide if Miranda Kerr is extremely dull or dimwitted
