The Greatest Spin Job Of All Time


Stephen Huvane has always been good. I mean you have to be with Jennifer Aniston as your client. Trying to show her off in a good light should get you the Academy Award for publicists. But, despite all that he has done for Jennifer, I still think that his greatest accomplishment has occurred within the past two weeks.

As you know, or as you may not know, especially if you skim right by certain portions of the blog, I talked about Anne Hathaway and her ex-boyfriend the criminal. When I spoke about them though I said they were still together and I say they are still together. The rest of the world though just bit down hard on the breakup story so this is what today's headlines say when the criminal was arrested.

Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend, or some formulation of that. Now, imagine if Stephen hadn't released that story what the headlines would look like today. The headlines wouldn't vary much, but do you think the cameras would be all over Anne as she tried to promote Get Smart? Do you think anyone in the world would care about the film or would they take her very public appearances for the film and just ask question after question about what she knew or didn't know and whether or not she supported her man and on and on and on.

Instead, she doesn't know anything and can just go on with her life. Uh huh. The ex has been getting arrested and facing pissed off investors since before they started dating and it has not let up. Has it bothered her before? Nope. But when you know you are going to get arrested by the feds, and believe me he would have known in advance, and your girlfriend is a lead in a popcorn flick and is going to be going all over the world doing publicity for it, you need to come up with a plan. Stephen Huvane came up with that plan.

In about a month or so it will be safe for Anne and the criminal to start right back up again.

That is genius!

Agreed. Genius. I do believe that there are a couple of other Huvane productions that could qualify for the greatest spin jobs.

This arrest was not a short notice thing.

That is if he's not at Camp Muffin or wherever it was that Martha Stewart spent 6 months.

Uh I thought this site said Anne Hathaway was a lesbian who got caught in a frolick by her "boyfriend" and that he had been blackmailing her to stay together or he would out her. I wish whoever writes this site would keep their stories straight. I miss the old days when the original writer was here. As someone mentioned in the last couple of weeks the orignal writer, "entertainment lawyer", if you will would never have used the word peen. I don't know a single straight man that uses that word.

littleoleme...give it up. its the same damn guy get over it already.
the only time we see you here is to bitch and im over it.

i personally can vouch that it is the same fuckin writer.

Unknown said...

Yup, same writer. The (ahem) grammar is living proof of that.

littleoleme said...

Actually Jax I've been here several times when I haven't "bitched". I thank you to not run this site as your personal party blog and if I want to comment, I will.
Cheerio!
