Which is to say they know must live with a double bind: they have to be completely uncontroversial and leaders with bold vision and great creativity. It would be interesting to know how the PR people grapple with this contradiction. thanks, Grant Michelle, thanks for the detail, the word is that Cruise fired all his publicists and is now flying solo.

(I needed a laugh this morning after the news...) Interesting observation about celebrities -- do you think it applies to other kinds of stars (e.g. business celebs?)
