In a world where we are constantly bombarded with
information about every single aspect of celebrities lives, the most alluring and intriguing people have become the ones who say very little, or indeed
nothing at all.
Kate Moss is probably one of the most iconic women of our generation, yet how many of us have heard her speak? We may have poured over images of her in various magazines since she was 16, but you can probably count on one hand the number of times she’s allowed these same publications to interview her. And it certainly seems to be paying off. People are beginning to revolt against these so called “celebrities” who insist on showing us every aspect of their daily lives. Take the Kardashians for example. Over the last
few years since they launched themselves into the media we’ve seen them get married, divorced, fight, make up, get dressed, work out, eat, even in the case of Kim, have sex. And although this has helped them to build a billion dollar brand out of various endorsements and sponsorship deals, they are now facing a public backlash. After her much publicised 72 day, $10 million marriage, Kim, and indeed the Kardashian brand in general, is facing a much more cynical public, who are beginning to come round to the idea that it is possible to know too much about these public figures.
So is Kate on to something with her silence? It seems so, after all it has helped her to weather a cocaine scandal, her ill-fated romance with Pete Doherty, and her often raucous partying. By remaining silent, and keeping her private life private, Kate has become a legend, proving that there really is such a thing as too much information when it comes to the private lives of the rich and famous.
