Headline: You’re going to need taller heels! Mel B’s daughter Phoenix is almost taller than her as pair celebrate her 15th birthday

Summary: The Scary Ginger Baby (or whatever she was known as in the 70’s) was celebrating her daughter’s birthday. Nothing of note happened so the Daily Mail pointed out the similarity in their height. Journalistic integrity intact. That’s the important thing about working for celeb-jizz columns, you really have to have an eye for the details that no one else cares about.
Quote To Note: “She added a splash of colour with some eye-catching sky-blue nail varnish”.
Favourite Reader’s Comments: “She looks fine to me” and “She’s lovely. She looks like a really nice kid”.
Had enough now? Horrible isn’t it? Why are we subjected to this on a daily basis. I mean, I’m not subjected to it myself, I actively searched it out just to make a point, but you see what I’m saying? It’s the people who read the Daily Mail and think it really is news that worry me the most.
Oh well, plenty more guff where that came from… tune in next week.
