Publicist

ELLIOT MINTZ CLAIMS THIS WOMAN IS HIS FITNESS COACH

Media consultant/Publicist Elliot Mintz enjoys keeping company with some spectacular women – like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Shauna Sand, in spite of the fact that he carries a man-purse. Consequently, he surprised no one when he showed up at Craig’s restaurant with the voluptuous woman above. (As we recall Eliot spent so much time ushering Paris Hilton around that they started to LOOK ALIKE with the same color spray tan and coordinated clothes.) His latest “discovery” is fitness coach/ model Elina Shaffy, whom he claims whipped him into shape.

REPS ARE DESERTING CHARLIE SHEEN’S SINKING SHIP!

Anger Management star Charlie Sheen’s manager and publicist have thrown in the towel! Charlie’s manager of 16 years, Mark Burg, and his publicist Larry Solters both gave Charlie their resignations last week. They just can’t take it any more. Solters has worked for Sheen since 2011- during Charlie’s Two and a Half Men meltdown. The latest histrionics involving Charlie’s two ex-wives, Brooke Mueller and Denise Richards, and custody problems, along with Charlie’s recent nonsensical proclamations have driven the reps away. The Hollywood Reporter states that Charlie is surrounded by an entourage of yes-men and has no one to reason with him.

JOHNNY DEPP IS KISSING THE PUBLICIST WHO ANNOUNCED HIS SPLIT WITH VANESSA PARADIS

This is the photo that launched all the rumors that Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis had gone their separate ways. Johnny was photographed last year kissing his publicist Robin Baum on the lips and the pair seemed very chummy. Keep in mind, Robin had been traveling with Johnny on all his movie promotion tours and appearances world wide. Vanessa had stopped appearing at red carpet events with Johnny and vice versa. Robin’s job kept her very close to Johnny so it was easy to cover up a romance. Robin in said to be in her late 30’s, divorced, and mother of two. She is also rumored to have been romantically involved with her former client Stephen Dorff. So how WEIRD is it that ROBIN is the spokesperson who today announced that Johnny and Vanessa ARE split up after all?

JENNIFER ANISTON AND BRAD PITT WON’T BE BUMPING INTO EACH OTHER AT AWARD SHOWS

Don’t think for a minute that it’s an accident that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt (with their respective mates) don’t run into each other at an award show. There are several award shows a week at this time of year and Brad and Jen are both in demand to add their star power to the events. They don’t communicate with each other, but their publicists MAKE SURE they never turn up at the same event and create an awkward situation. Since Brad is nominated for many awards, he takes precedence, and Jen will only appear at shows that he skips. It’s all carefully orchestrated so Jen and Justin Theroux were able to enjoy the DGA awards.
