Megastars lose glitter for paparazzi

SPARE A thought, in this straitened era, for one group of toiling tradesmen who have seen the rates they can charge slump more than 30% in the past two years. Yes, it's a putrid financial time in paparazzi land (according to detailed research by Tina Brown's Daily Beast). Brad and Angelina can't cut it any longer. Britney has fallen on her spears.

Filed under: News , Electronic , Exclusive , Canada Peaches has always known how to push buttons. She started out on small, sweaty Canadian stages with strap-on dildos and stage blood. She let her pubic hair run really wild in her 2001 video for 'Set It Off,' donned a full beard for her 2003 'Fatherf---er' album cover and now she performs on stage with a, quote-unquote, " pussy light ." "I'm breaking down the rock cliches and breaking down the fashion cliches, breaking down the stereotypical sexual cliches," Peaches tells Spinner. "I'm breaking down what you're used to seeing a woman onstage doing -- and for that matter, used to anyone onstage doing." In the near-decade since she released her first album, 'The Teaches Of Peaches,' Toronto-born Merrill Nisker has carved a path of iconoclastic outrageousness and left a trail of highly successful female artists in her wake.
