Publicity stunt beyond all publicity stunts

This could be the publicity stunt beyond all publicity stunts – are we really to believe that Jade Goody is going to undergo a life changing experience after news that she will visit India to apologise for her supposed racist remarks against Shilpa Shetty.

An unattributable source has given this nuggest of information to the media, but is someone just testing the water? Something far more creative could have been thought up to cleanse the soiled image of Jade Goody.

Another newspaper suggests that she’s actually been invited to India. It’s interesting to note that all this stemmed from The Matthew Wright show on Channel 5. I love Lovely Matthew whom I adore, just happens to be another client of John Noel. John Noel acts as representative for Jade Goody, Davina McCall, Russell Brand and Dermot O’Leary.

This is a classic old school studio stunt. In the Hollywood studio days, if a star got themselves into some trouble, all their fellow stable mates would rally around to give suport to the beleagured individual. If you have talent on your books, you can occupy the high ground. But I’d like to go to Ladbrokes to see what the real odds are for Jade going to the sub continent. Five minutes is a lifetime in the 24 hour news agenda, and judging by what’s happened over the last week, anything could happen.
