  • The Hazards of Celebrity Photography

    It seems we will forgive celebrities of crimes and mistakes that we would never let even our closest friends live down. Like when Hugh Grant was convicted of “lewd conduct in a public place” with a prostitute while in a serious relationship with Liz Hurley, we forgave him and embraced him once again in an endless number of charming, yet slightly bumbling romantic lead roles.
