It's about damn time!

Finally, some good examples of effective public relations in Hollywood. Everyone knows that the bee in my bonnet lately has been malnourished starlets and stupid public relations decisions. I was extremely pleased to see two women have the balls to fess up to a problem and take control of their own message. Instead of pretending that they didn’t have the nose job or dumped by their movie star lover (even though they spent months denying they were even a couple), they fessed up to the truth or at least their version of the truth. The jig is up.

Who would have known that it would come from the perpetually drunk party girl Tara Reid and country cutie Sara Evans?

Tara Reid

She went from slush (a slut mixed with a lush) to lady in one well-placed tabloid article. Tara shared a painful story about a plastic surgery nightmare and low self-esteem. She came clean that she had a botched breast augmentation and liposuction that left her with deformed nipples with bumps and rippling on her stomach. TMI, Tara but it made a lot of sense and explained her behavior.

She explains that the implants were too big for her and stretched out her breasts to the point where boyfriends commented on them. Her self-esteem plummeted and she just recently got smaller reconstructed implants. She also said Lindsey Lohan reminded her of herself which should scare the shit out of little Lindsey. They even talked to the surgeon who did her reconstruction. They turned it around into a cautious piece to help women who consider plastic surgery. This was a great PR piece because she got to tell her story in her words and the pictures were lovely. Gone were the red blurry eyes. She looks clear and cheery.

Sara Evans

This meek country mouse sent shock waves through America when she pulled out of Dancing with the Stars. Okay, maybe no one else carried but I was shocked. Then we found out the ugly rumors of hard drives, nudity and divorce. She took the initiative and sat down with quirky host Tom Bergeron to discuss the matter. I was surprised she held it together so well. I would have been a sniveling mess. She explained that she was in the process of separating when allegations came forward about her husband. She decided to stay home and take care of her children. Kudos to Sara! Her paso doble was pretty week anyway.
