What with Ashley Cole's vomit and the demise of the Spice Girls it really has been, to quote one of LiS's favourite fellow celebrity columnists (it's not all bitch slapping and hair pulling round here, and y'knows it), the Daily Mirror's Polly Hudson, "literally the worst week ever." But hark! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the Kidd family, and Jemma is the east!
The Kidd family is, of course, one of our favourite dynasties. Hilton, schmilton - until I hear Paris boasting to a tabloid reporter dressed as a sheikh, "Do you know how many dealers I know in a little town called Billinghurst?", as Jodie did last summer, we ain't impressed.
But things have been pretty quiet on the Kidd front since the NoW's exposé of Jodie and her brother Jack's cocaine ring and Jodie being cruelly sacked from her lofty position as the face of M&S car insurance.
Happily, her sister Jemma has apparently emerged from the purdah of family shame and is now maintaining the family's fine reputation for always thinking carefully before speaking to journalists. At a recent event for some crap or another, a gossip columnist from a very downmarket broadsheet asked Jemma, makeup artist to the stars, what she thought of plastic surgery: "I think plastic surgery is acceptable when serious damage has been done to someone's face," Ms Kidd wittered. "It's such a shame that people feel they have to have it done when they're already very beautiful."
Ahhh, bless. What a well-grounded young lady. So presumably she would never consider having it done to her undamaged face, ho ho ho? "I'd never say never. After all, I don't know how I'm going to look in 50 or 60 years."
Well of course. "Serious damage" is, of course, make up artist speech for "getting older." Like, duh! But Jemma, love, a word to the wise: learn from your sister and perhaps stay away from the family wares before opening your trap, yeah?
