Paper Monitor
A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.
Bad news for Keira Knightley… the Daily Telegraph's posh pin-up seems to have migrated downmarket to the Daily Mail, which is claiming she has lost weight. Don't believe Paper Monitor? To assist your judgement, the Mail does its readers the service of publishing before and after pictures of the Hollywood star in a bikini to make its point. What Paper Monitor finds remarkable is how unchanged she appears.
Elsewhere, though, Keira risks being eclipsed in the classy crumpet stakes by Mrs Prince William to be (at least, that's the speculation) Kate Middleton.
The Guardian manages a sideways look, assessing comparisons between Miss Middleton and the late Diana, Princess of Wales (who, incidentally, is more than just a Daily Express phenomenon today, thanks to Monday's preliminary inquest hearing).
To the Times, meanwhile, Miss Middleton is a piece of cake that warrants devouring. The paper's front page features a snatched shot of her in the street, to highlight, get this, a developing row about press intrusion in her life. There's another shot inside, although Paper Monitor senses these could be the last for a while, after the news on today's Guardian website that News International (publishers of the Times, the Sun and the News of the World) is banning the use of paparazzi photos of Miss M.
Wasn't there supposed to be just such a self-imposed ban, across the tabloid press, in the wake of Diana's death almost 10 years ago?
