Just a while back Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett passed away on the same day. This coincidence caused something of a dilemma for journalists and reporters worldwide, “Which icon do we report about first or the most?” Obviously, Michael Jackson being the legitimate “King of Pop”, received the bulk of coverage. Now, Vanity Fair has come up with a publicity stunt to garner attention from both of these popular celebrities’ demises. I would call it shameless, but it will September’s cover will no doubt the most popular in the magazine’s recent history. But first we should probably talk about Farrah’s “fragmented” inner circle, namely Ryan O’Neil and his daughter Tatum. Why? Read on.
Ryan is obviously the long time companion of the late Farrah Fawcett. And, just like all the skeletons coming out of the Jacko closet, there are many in Farrah’s as well. Without getting into the “fantasy land” frivolities of Hollywood too much, one “pitch” going around the gossip merry go round is that Ryan flirted with his own daughter at Farrah’s funeral no less. If the story (the interview of O’Neil will be in one version of Vanity Fair), not only is O’Neil the worst pond scum I ever heard of, but there is no wonder Farrah had some messed up times. Vanity Fair, intends to let the public vote on whether or not to feature Farrah and her dubious clan of followers, or Michael Jackson and his already infamous entourage of idiots, in their upcoming issue. As far as publicity stunts go, it is not altogether a terrible idea, it is the the subjects that make the ensuing backlash so mediocre. I wonder when Vanity Fair became a tabloid?
