Starsuckers is one movie the tabloid film crits won't be reviewing this week because it reveals how easy it is to sell fake celebrity tales to the redtops. My favourite is the Sun's Bizarre column running a story about Sarah Harding and her interest in astronomy - all made up by the movie stooges. Celebrity obsession lies at the heart of the problem as more and more former showbiz editors and journalists move into politics, PR and other areas of life, importing their dimwitted preoccupations with names. The tabs may be desperately gullible but all media - upscale included - are similarly infected. Go watch. It's a laugh and an education.
