Ooooo my first "new topic".....was just reading the thread about famous clients and wondered if you've ever been tempted to sell your story; or even if youve never had a famous guy, this is just for fun.....what would you do? And if you did, why?

I personally wouldn't but would love to hear your reasons.......

I wouldn't do a "my sex with Jedward hell" style kiss-and-tell to the papers.    (Look, it's Jedward!)
If I have a long and interesting prossie career, I'd consider doing a book though.

I agree - if you have something genuinely interesting to say about the world, a book is good! But going to the spawn-of-satan tabloids to sell a tedious "scandal" story that just makes you look like an idiot? Er, no thanks. In my perfect, imaginary version of the world, tabloids & crappy media in general just wouldn't exist, so the likelihood of me selling a story that, at the end of the day, some rich tabloid-owning media mogul would profit off far more than I ever would just goes against my very nature. *grumbles*

Er, and yes, I take discretion seriously and even in a book would never mention a client's name! No point - again, it'd just make you look bad (and get sued, possibly!). So making ?20k (if anyone would even pay that much these days?) would be nothing compared to what you'd lose in the long term.

I've never understood the desire to be "famous" (aka bitched about by thousands of people you've never even met) so I don't think I'll ever understand reality TV, tabloids or Jeremy Kyle.

I have very little respect for people who sell their stories  And the tabloids have a long history of being very brutal with kiss'n'tell girls. For instance, Katie Price and others are constantly referred to as 'the tarts.' It just never ends well for anyone involved, and you can kiss goodbye to a decent reputation after the event.

I do know someone who did.

Week one story: "Person we can call famous even though 99% of you wouldn't recognise them pays for sex, shock".

Week two story, from the same paper: "And here's lots of nasty stuff on the escort".

Not in a million years, nor for all the money in the world.

Fortunately, I would say those that would are in the minority.

Not a chance.................... i value my privacy just as much as theirs ..........................
