At last! A cure for celebrity photo opportunists.

Cheryl Cole

I’m not usually excited by the faux-glamour of celebrity that bombards Western culture on an hourly basis. I try to avoid it and have been known to look blankly at anyone who tells me about Cheryl Cole’s latest boyfriend.

Tre Holloway

I’m sure dancer Tre Holloway is a lucky guy going out with the photogenic singer who describes their relationship, movingly for some, surprizingly for others, as “genuine love.” Any why not? Good luck to them –  whoever they are.



I’m not that interested in celebrity photo opportunities but this female “photobomber” is a genuine star. I hadn’t been aware of this growing anti-celebrity phenomenon until now but I’m loving it already.

Poor Cheryl and Tre – they’re so upstaged by this brilliant bomber that they might even try to keep their genuine love to themselves in future. Let’s hope so.
