Draw near, for there has been a great disturbance in the Can Associates ecosystem. As detailed previously, Can Associates is the management company helmed by Claire Powell, whose clients – from Peter Andre to Kerry Katona to the vajazzler off The Only Way is Essex – exist in a sort of self-supporting publicity structure. They're papped together, they write columns about each other, and they appear on each other's reality shows.
But now, Katona has been cast from the Can firmament, shortly after being pictured slumped on a hotel lobby floor with her head in her handbag. Or as Kerry puts it: "Contrary to recent press reports, I was not 'dumped' by Can Associates. It was my decision to leave, as on a professional level my career was taking a direction that I did not want, nor did I feel was appropriate. Furthermore, on a personal level, I felt that my integrity had been compromised."
What can it all mean? I imagine it must have felt like this in the Greek age of gods and men, when mortals would hear angry rumblings from Mount Olympus and wonder in what hideous ways the fallout would be visited upon them. When Lost in Showbiz knows more, so will you.
