Please check out the commercial. It is hilarious.
God bless you Kelly! She says,
"They take young people off the streets and give them a direction. Did I say a direction, I meant they give them a spray tan session absolutely free and once they've applied it they feel a million times better!"
And then we learn about something called a skin finishing expert.
"Hello I'm Fiona Lockwood and I'm a skin finishing expert for St. Tropez." What is that? Who the heck knows, but I am going to use this 'job description' at parties when people ask me what I do. Fiona says, "I've been privileged to work with Kelly on Dancing For the Stars and have loved seeing the most amazing transformation from ugly ducking to swan in her."
Where can I hire someone like this? Is there an agency called Dial a Sycophant? If not I need to start one.
Over to Kelly. "I never appreciated the benefits of a spray tan. And to homeless people I would say, please do yourself a favour and get a spray tan. You might think you know, I'm not like Kelly and I'm not on Dancing on the Stars, I'm just a homeless teenager on the street taking crack but I say hang on, this is about your self esteem here, and being sprayed with brown goo will make you feel like a million bucks. Go book a session with a skin conditioning expert now. You will feel so much better I swear!"
Although Kelly was obviously sincere about her beliefs here (that or just brain dead, the jury is still out) - unsurprisingly parents went ballistic over the campaign saying:
"Telling impressionable young girls that having a spray tan and appearing on a reality TV show is the way to make yourself feel better is about as far off from my understanding of self-esteem as you can get," says Abi Moore of PinkStinks, a group set up by two mothers worried about the impact of marketing on girls.
So now the campaign has been binned. St. Tropez will still donate $15 for every $75 bottle sold, but The Prince's Trust confirmed to the Daily Mail last night that it is no longer supporting the campaign.
Poor Kelly! In a post on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "Heart broken over how the Pinkstinks stops money from going to a charity that really needs it!"
And she also claims the fiasco has knocked her own confidence, adding: "My self esteem has gone down the toilet. Just when you think you are doing something good someone comes along to tell you your (sic) not!
So what next for Kelly? Maybe a series of fake suicides via twitter. We can only watch and wait.
So is it Kelly or Gordo who made the biggest cock up this week? I think Gordo was well within his rights to call that Duffy woman a 'bigot'. She did say "All these Eastern Europeans, where are they flocking from?" did she not? He wasn't even particularly nasty about her. No his problem was apologizing about it afterwards and going round with a bunch of flowers so he came across as wetter than a baby's nappy. Get a backbone Gordo please!
Oh and a big thanks to my fellow Austrian MetropolitanMum for drawing my attention to Kelly's plight.

Bugger, it won't play properly for me...but I must say...
Oh..My..God.
Surely the Princes Trust didn't agree to this in the FIRST place? When I've done fund raising for charity before (British red cross) they wanted to know EVERYTHING, down to the logo we used on paperwork, before letting us raise money for them.
Me thinks somebody from the trust will be raked over hot coals as well!
My pleasure, dear Em. I can only agree on Gordon. Backbone like a jellyfish.
The one thing homeless people on the street don't need is a spray tan. They're outside most of the time in all weathers. They are tanned already. I'm sure what they'd prefer is to be indoors most of the time looking pale and interesting as they wolf down a proper meal for a change.
Don't forget the '10lbs lighter' bit, because that's just what all the street kids want to be along with dayglo orange.
Too funny! I mean, come on? Using a company that promotes vanity and being something you are NOT (i.e. tanned when you are pale) to boost self esteem?! This is just comical. St Tropez were just chasing the dollah and the Princes Trust were thinking out of their buttcracks on this one. Glad it got binned. What a load of pants.
And as for the Gordo comment: Gordo's comment was an overreaction. I'd hardly call the poor old lady a bigot. After all, she just expressed concern over the immigration problem all these peeps keep tiptoeing around. I just think poor old Gordo must be overcome with election campaign fatigue and methinks his comment was just because he was tired and couldn't be arsed talking to voters. Let him have a little rest and a cup of tea and he'll be fine again!
Your label of 'Celeb Twats' is enough for me hahaha.
Anyone so long as it's not Peaches Geldoff.
I thought a person had to have done something before they got famous. It seems not nowadays.
(I like Kelly's spray-on clothes better than her spray-on tan btw.)
How could homeless people use spray tan anyway? Not enough room in a cardboard box to spray from the required 12 inches away! Doh, Kelly!
electro-kevin....hey Kelly is very talented she 'danced' on Dancing with the Stars and she is also an ex Vicodin addict. She is not just a talentless nobody ;)
I expect that sort of garbage from Kelly Osbourne, Emmak...but you're an intelligent, influential published author. You have a responsibilty to see that the facts in your posts are correct because I know that hundreds of your readers (like me) often pass your views off at dinner parties as their own.
So, I am bitterly, bitterly disappointed to see you perpetuating that silly Marie-Antoinette myth; Qu'ils mangent de la brioche...
That quote is from a book by some garlic-eater whose name escapes me and was written when little M-A was just ten years old.
I know the French are a rude, arrogant bunch of connards but that is just a little too precocious even for them...
fingers... I take umbrage at your assumption that Kelly is a philistine. She has written an autobiography called Fierce which has got some brilliant reviews. I just read this one on amazon: "ANY GOOD parent should give [sic] thier daughter this book cuz it acts as an anti drink and drugs campaign, has really good tips on how to just be yourself as well as make up and fasion advice."
As for the French they are just plain rude. I remember staying in Paris when I was sixteen in a motel on one of those narrow streets and watching a naked couple opposite wandering around and making l'amour. Quite put me off my ham baguette let me tell you as well as traumatizing me for life (this was back in the day when frog ladies did not shave their pits)
So are both the women in those photos Kelly? Cause if so I don't think dancing is what made her transformation happen. I mean, not entirely. Somewhere in the mix there is a surgeon. Just saying'.
Gordo's problem is that most of the the UK feels as that woman does, and his statement reveals his view that he is above them and better than them, which is precisely what everyone has suspected about all of Labour all along. Now that he has confirmed it he has royally fucked his party.
OMG, this campaign was just ridiculous. I can't even begin - wrong on so many levels...
*Off to get spray tan to better self and life chances*
memphis steve....Just because many people in Britain feel immigration is 'out of control' does not make Mrs Duffy's opinion valid though does it? For example here in the US do the 'views' of the Tea Party or the tards who follow Sarah Palin or god help us those misguided people in Arizona who will now arrest undocumented mexicans on the street - does it make those kinds of jingoistic opinions okay? I think people in the UK get all bent out of shape about 'too many people speaking foreign languages and taking our jobs' about the time there is a recession. Like it or not the EU exists in the form that EU citizens can travel freely between countries - the UK has always felt it is not part of Europe and many feel outrage that these 'foreigners' are in the UK but they have a right to be there. Maybe there is a case for immigration reform but right now they are just following EU directives, no?
EmmaK, I don't think we here in the States can say whether the woman's views are valid or not. She merely expressed a concern that the majority in her country have, to which her elected representative responded by dismissing her and her views. This is not how an elected representative represents. If he holds such a bigoted view of his constituents, then surely he does not represent them well and should be replaced.
I also don't think you can say that people who follow Sarah Palin are misguided beyond the fact that Fox News still calls her "Governor Palin" even though she resigned her position last year. For one thing, Sarah is now just a news correspondent and no longer a respresentative, so following her is no different than following Jon Stewart at this point.
As for Arizona, you are taking the CNN distortions about what they actually passed as fact. Dig a little deeper. I'm no fan of Arizona, but what they passed merely instructs law enforcement to do its already existing job, one which the PC government, both under Bush and now Obama, has refused to do, throwing law and order to the wind in order to gain political advantage. If sex offenders were a large segment of our population and illegally voting in large numbers, would you object if the Feds refused to enforce the laws relating to them for fear of political retaliation and simply let them do as they pleased, or would you prefer that SOMEONE in authority enforce the law and jail them whenever they came across one during a legal and normal traffic stop and discovered that they were not registered as the law requires, violating parole, or in possession of weapons which are illegal? Is it fair to compare the illegals in Arizona with sex offenders? Yes, because the reason for the crackdown is the out-of-control gang crime that is occurring as a direct result of the illegals bringing drug and gang violence and crime into Arizona neighborhoods. That's who they are looking for and that's who they are dealing with - murderers and kidnappers and rapists. If you lived with what they are living with in Arizona you'd be screaming for someone to enforce the law, too. It is existing law that they are enforcing, because our very PC and worthless Federal Government has refused to do its job. The problem isn't Arizona. The problem is the Federal Government's refusal to enforce the law.
memphis steve....Regarding illegal workers in Arizona and other places surely the best thing to do would be to issue one year work visas to people rather than criminalizing them. Secondly I have observed that all the jobs done say here in Baltimore by illegal S American workers are jobs no American would do and also any Mexican contractor I have used was at least four times better and more efficient than the equivalent American - one of whom was an alcoholic who disappeared in the middle of the job.
The issue is not whether illegals in Arizona should be arrested or not the issue is why are they not allowed to be here legally in the first place since they are working and mostly they are not even in the system using people's taxes.
I was just talking about the Tea Party, Palin etc because it seems to me a lot of people here are living in cloud cuckoo land saying 'let's take our country back to how it was' well it's never going to happen. This is a global economy and I'm not even sure we should be encouraging people to think in terms of this is 'my country' and 'my race' because these values have become somewhat anachronistic not to mention reactionary. Just my 2 cents!!
The problem with illegals in Arizona is not like what you have in Baltimore. They have entire gangs coming across the border and kidnapping or killing Americans, taking over their homes, committing gang crimes out in the open without fear of the law, and the citizens are the ones living in fear.
They have not crimiinalized anything. All they've said is that law enforcement must check people's ID when stopping them for any reason to make sure they aren't here illegally. If you or I enter Mexico illegally, we get no Visa or pat on the head. We get 2 years in Mexican prison. Mexico doesn't have ANY tolerance for illegals and yet we are supposed to be upset that Arizona is simply enforcing the law as it has always been written?
You may not think in terms of 'my country', but the majority of the world does. Mexico most definitely does. And as for 'my race', the only race not allowed to think of its own interests is the one rather vaguely defined as 'white' while all other races are openly encouraged to not only think in terms of 'my race' or 'my people', but to be hostile towards the others, too.
memphis steve....okay the situation in Arizona is different but I was simply saying that they should give S Americans work visas to work in this country since they are already working here. Just because the minority of illegals are pillaging does not mean most of them are.
As far as I am aware there is not much movement from rich countries to poorer ones ie attempting to be an illegal in Mexico by coming there from the US - what would be the point since you would earn a quarter of the wages?
Someone already here, albeit illegally, who is working should still be checked out to make sure they're not a serial killer or rapist on the run hiding amongst the rest of the population, but then if they are clean I should think your work visa idea would work. The biggest problems are from the criminals on the run who are here with them and the gang members. They are already known criminals, but because it is politically incorrect to ask for their IDs we don't discover who they are and what they've done until they do it again. They're not entitled to that and we as a society don't have any obligation to assume that kind of risk for ourselves.
I don't think the number of Americans going illegally into Mexico is the point. It's that illegals in America are complaining about their 'rights' while Americans going to Mexico have no rights and are treated 100 times worse if they lose their papers for any reason. If Mexico can treat us as badly as they do, then Mexicans here illegally don't have much room to complain that we ask for their papers and deport them if they are illegal. Fair is fair. If we can't do it there then why should we feel bad about them not being able to do it here? That's equality.
