Thought I'd share this remarkable article. Quite long but well worth it.

I was Russell Crowe's stooge...

I certainly don't blame the journalist for writing this article. It is a well written and largely factual article, that I think at times is very brutally honest, but at others he only flirts with his own actual intent. It's the skill of the writing that makes us so easily side with him (not that anyone would side with Crowe, but I'll assume that you get what I mean).
It does make me question the entire media 'circus' though. It will only get worse before it gets better, as the road it is going down will only benefit artists/celebrities/journalist/publishers etc. It is the viewer/reader/audience that has their seemingly unbiased sources of information tarnished by the behind the scenes transactions of favour like the one this article aims to uncover.

I haven't read the whole article but is the journalist the guy who wrote the Stevie Wright book?
Coz that was a fucking top read.
EDIT: Just checked and he is!!! If you want an entertaining book, see if you can track down "Sorry: The wretched tale of Little Stevie Wright" by Jack Marx ... awesome, yet depressing read.
