The Big with a Voice

Image is a very big thing in the music industry, where it is unlikely to find an unattractive artist at the top, especially female. It is all about looks, which would have to compliment the musical talent.
For the past two years I have come across Adelle, who I believe is one of the greatest musical talents of our day, not only for her amazing voice, but because she's the 'big girl with the voice'.
Adele is far from the slim Britney or 'bootilicious' Beyonce, but that does not seem to faze her. She herself has spoken about how she would like people to focus on her voice rather than her physical appearance. I think people should pay attention to her physically, because she is BEAUTIFUL!

Recently Jennifer Hudson has made a come back, looking amazingly thin after giving birth to her son. Now i don't dispute that Jennifer looks stunning with her new figure,  but what happened to the confident 'big girl' with a voice?
What do you think about Adele's approach on just focusing on her voice, or do you think that your image is also important when one plays a part in the music industry?
I think the PR around both singers has shown them in the way that the artist is happiest, for both of them seem content with their appearance and the promotion around them shows it!

The Kardashians Make Money

Kim Kardashian is famously known as big reality T.V star alongside her two sisters, brother, two half sisters, mother and step father. They have been named as the perfect Hollywood family, but things having been so perfect for them.
Kim was first recognised whilst partying with then BFF, Paris Hiltion. From then on Kim found herself in the middle of a media whirlwind. In 2006, a sex tape was release of Kim and boyfriend at the time, Ray J. This situation could potentially ruin the reputation of any celebrity, but in the long run boosted her career to make her the amazing business woman she is today.
Although he sex tape was bad publicity on her family name, her mother, Kris Jenner reached out to Ryan Seacrest, T.V producer to create a reality show on the family's day to day life style, giving the public more insight on how they were dealing with the crisis.
A good family friend, Jonathan Cheban, owns PR agency Command PR, and has played a great part in building a positive image for not only Kim, but her whole family. I think all the good publicity they have received has raised their profile greatly, Kris Jenner has turned a crisis in to a money maker, with the family earning $65 million dollars in 2010.
From perfumes to clothing lines, the Kardashian family are laughing all the way to the bank, showing how a crisis doesn't always have to be the breaking of a person.
