Blind Items Revealed #4

January 28, 2014

This reporter who has a pretty big name works for a big news company that doesn't have a magazine but seems to have everything else gossip and entertainment related told publicists he would trade interviews with celebrities for positive remarks about whatever they were wearing no matter how hideous it actually was. Lots of publicists took him up on it. He had nothing negative to say about anyone. Real journalism being practiced over there.

E! has zero to do with journalism and nobody who works there is a journalist.

And he hasn't interviewed shlumpy Lena Dunham or boring granny Maggie Gyllenhall has he?

Oh, Enty - as if this is a startlingly new concept. Tsk tsk. You do know that mega stars only appear on late night TV to plug movies, right? Have you ever seen one show up out of the blue because they felt like hanging out?
"If you let me plug my movie, I'll pretend this is an interview and that I can stand being in your presence for 7 minutes" has been standard operating procedure for a VERY long time.
If you truly believed E! had anything to do with journalism ever, I'm worried about you.

I thought that was the way "things" were done at E!.
Give them money or products and Guilianna (formerly) and her crew would be sure to say really nice things about the paying celebrities!

Just wondering, but would not this already come out, because it allegedly happen all the time?

They DID found out that someone else was lying about his experience on 9/11 and that guy who made up news. If you know what I mean.
