Does this really sell newspapers?

grandetanteJE65 How can we even pretend to talk about the equality of the sexes, when women in show business have to bare as much of their body as they possible can to get publicity and parts aand the same is not demanded of men?

It’s not just females in the media who are dressing like this. It’s a popular look with many females at the moment.

I don’t buy newspapers and the online versions are full of adverts (really annoying) so I don’t read those either. I watch tv news or listen to radio news instead.

Babs03 I believe you’re thinking about Kanye West’s latest Bianca Censori whose outfit or lack of should be censored

I don’t know the name of the 2 celebrities but I am truly shocked at the male who parades his wife/girlfriend in virtually no clothes, a lot of them see through. She never smiles and must have been coerced into parading around like this. It is some form of mental and physical cruelty. What must her poor family think?

It is going that way at the RSC men perform in their underpants, and have you seen the exhibitionists at the Pride parades.

8Crossstitchfan* That is a quite unnecessary and unwarranted personal attack on Ilovedogs22 . Why on earth should she be remotely jealous of the woman in the picture?

I often look at pictures like this and realise that once you have taken the expensive presentation away from show business celebrities, male and female, underneath is a very ordinary looking person, and, yes, lacking charisma, once the trappings re taken away.

If you do not think so, have a look at some of the off duty unexpected paparazzi shots you get of the same people when out shopping in their own dress down clothes. It is amazing what stylists, top make=up artists and hairdressers can do to even the most unpreposing individuals, again, male and female.

She's not doing any harm, poor girl. If you ask me there are too many images in general, taking up paper unnecessarily as well as internet bandwidth. If I had my way pictures would only be shown if they add detail to a story that is hard to describe in words. I hate the "file photo" habit, where a story about the NHS has some generic nurse, in case you're not sure what nurses look like in general. Or a stethoscope and syringe.

Funny, but I have noticed you take great delight in putting people down. You have done it many times before.We are entitled to our opinions! How dare you tell me what I should and shouldn’t say!
Please keep your nose out of my comments. If you don’t like them, don’t read them, but please back off!!

Oops! I seem to have rubbed someone on a sore spot, so sorry.

9 times out of 10 we get yet another "revelation" involving some obscure half-celebrity who's involved in some Strictly Come Dancing scandal. Again.

The DT isn't a serious newspaper anymore. It concentrates on Tory scaremongering, bashing Starmer and badmouthing the BBC in my opinion.
