Celebrity Sell Out: Oscar would have loved this one

One glance at this picture is going to raise a number of thoughts. But chief among them must be this, thank god that girl on the left was awarded that sash. Yes the recession is not only with us it’s with the triple z-listers as well, so thank for freebie events such as the ‘Oscars’ party run by Inanch (it’s a hairdressing salon and a real person apparently).
In line with the glitz and glamour of the Hollywood jamboree, the event had a picture of the Oscars printed on the invite. Sadly the resemblance halted there. The only celebs it managed to pull in where Celebrity Big Brother person Michelle Heaton, a Page 3 type (do they count as celebs outside the 80s?) and a lady called Naomi Milbank-Smith who does not even have a wikipedia entry. Cameron Diaz this ain’t.
The problem with comparing something to the Oscars is you’ve got to stack it up. For example if they had run this at the same time as that goddawful soap awards thing on ITV I would never have been writing this. Still whoever was writing the post-event blurb hadn’t heard this and gave it a damn fine shot at lifting it among the stars.
Apparently the first celeb to arrive was Naomi, who ‘worked the red carpet’ in a ‘twinkling’ red dress. Working the carpet? What was she doing hoovering it? One aspect that did follow the Oscars was an obligatory boring-sounding speech by the Inach MD about how great it was. One look at the pictures and you see the desperation of the girls to get him out of the way and tuck into the canapes.
