I wouldn’t call it new exactly, but it does put some good PR out there to distract from whatever horror they said/committed etc….Society is still star struck even in this day and age. Many people refuse to believe that anyone who is pretty or famous and has money could possibly in reality be a horrible person. They believe what they see on the screen, they fall for the charm and the act.

Kind of gives me some respect for Hugh Grant for just fessing up to the whole hooker thing and not blaming booze etc….
