curr_paris.jpgHooray for Fraser Ross. "Whos that?" you might ask. He's the clever owner of the gigantic retail success Kitson on Robertson. Has anyone paused to ponder why celebrity studded Kitson is so incredibly successful - above the other cute but forgettable shops on the street. Kitson RULES for a good reason. Because Fraser LOVES publicity and has always courted the press. Countless stars have been photographed shopping at or leaving Kitson and they appear weekly in the celebrity mags. Fraser realized what a boon these pix were to his business and went into the photo business himself. He partnered up with a photo agency so now when he gets a famous shopper, Fraser can call his own fotog to take the picture. When it's published Fraser not only enjoys the free publicity - he gets a cut of the money paid for the photo! It's funny, the stores that chase photographers away and "protect" their celebrity shoppers don't do nearly as well as Kitson. Steady Kitson customer Paris Hilton certainly isn't complaining about paparazzi. So really, isn't Fraser Ross even smarter than we thought?

THIS IS WHAT YOU THINK

Janet, just found your site. I've enjoyed reading you for years.

This looks like the new Hollywood. Kitson teamed up with photographers and stars organizing their own photo ops. Apparently, PR coverage is a whole new game now! Lucrative, too.

Janet Charlton's Hollywood Whodunit

This celebrity made quite an impact on Celebrity Rehab. He was a real challenge for Dr Drew. He and his girlfriend were at a celebrity event when they happened to meet a man and his wife who were huge fans of the rehabbed performer. The couples started chatting and our rehab guy was so flattered that he invited the pair over for dinner. When the admiring couple arrived at the celebrity's house they were startled to see large nude photos of the girlfriend hanging on the walls. The "rehabber" offered the visitors wine and an array of pills! The guests were horrified but before they could leave the celebrity invited them to strip down for a "sexy swing session." The frightened pair ran off without getting a chance to tell the celebrity that the woman was an ordained minister!

Remember When?

A 2001 Hollywood Whodunit: This young man comes from Hollywood royalty - both parents are famous and talented. He's gay but his family learned to accept his sexuality. But they'd never approve of his foolish and risky behavior if they knew what he's been up to. He frequents a West Hollywood supermarket popular with gay men and cruises the aisles looking for quickies. Several times a week he visits the store and scores almost every time, using the store's bathroom for his sexual adventures. Employees know what he's up to, but since his family owns stock in the chain, they're afraid to do anything about it.
