WireImage Is Nobody's Friend

A weird little sidenote to the Axl Rose/Tommy Hilfiger beat down on Thursday night: the photo of the two fighting on the cover of the Saturday Post is credited to DMI, an "independent" photo agency owned by MediaVast, which also owns WireImage. Writes a reader in the know:

The Post's cover photo was taken by a Wireimage photographer inside the nightclub Plumm, and marketed under DMI to protect Wireimage's celeb-friendly image. They won't make celebrities look bad, and publicists know that. You won't find passed out, drunken people in the Wireimage archives. Wireimage is known to pull images off their site at a celebrity's request.

So by funneling the less-flattering photos to their sketchy sibling, WireImage stays cozy with the PR gatekeepers.

This concludes today's lesson in celebrity photojournalism. Tomorrow: what's up with Patrick McMullan's hair?

Famous narcissists can now check themselves out on WireImage.com, a site for celebrity party pics. It's the new Google and everyone uses it. The popularity, however, appears to have inflated a few egos at WireImage headquarters. Site photographer Michael Caulfield boasts that the site's shutterbugs now have "different rapports" with their subjects—mingling on a first-name basis, and being treated like insiders. Sure, Mike. Call us when "Jennifer" or "Elton" invite you to hang out without the camera.
