...The One-Minute Pundit

If we weren't talking supermillionaires we'd almost sympathize with Jennifer. It isn't her fault she gets the kind of exposure MM got in her day, and which clearly she doesn't deserve. True the studios were in control then, and no one is now, meaning when vaguely attractive (or in some cases unattractive) actresses wear outfits they shouldn't be wearing, the whole world knows it. And there's no place for Avedon even if he existed, which might deflect the paparazzi; besides modern photography is vastly unforgiving. That said, there'd be no market for such unflattering photos if fatuous editors lacked the desire to run them, and especially if they hadn't coached their readers to demand every last idiotic factoid about uninteresting people who happen to be overexposed, in more ways than one.
