How does a millionaire get even richer?
By charging his aggrieved friends to have their say.
Entrepreneur Sir David Tang has created a new website called ICorrect.com, which allows the rich and famous to log on and correct false news stories about themselves.
And what a swanky address book Sir David has — it’s a bit like attending a posh drinks party without the need to cram yourself into a cocktail frock!
You can visit the site, but to be a participant it’s ‘by invitation only’ and if you sign up, your references will be checked and then there’s the small matter of an annual fee of £622 — so it’s not exactly cheap justice for the ordinary person in the street.
Since it went live last Thursday Kate Moss and Sienna Miller have posted statements saying they do not use Twitter.
Stephen Fry has complained about an article which said he didn’t care for Catholics.
Multi-millionaire Richard Caring says that a diary story which claimed he snubbed a City lunch was untrue — and, by the way, his tan is real, not fake!
Best of all, Naomi Campbell has corrected a tabloid story which said she was ‘thrilled’ Russia were to host the 2018 football World Cup. Sadly, few of the corrections are concise — and Naomi’s is no exception.
I’m sure you’ll sleep a bit better tonight knowing that secretly, Naomi wanted England’s footballers to succeed.
It will be interesting to see what other stories she decides to correct — perhaps not the ones about chucking phones at staff or being abusive at Heathrow.
