She possesses breasts and a bottom publicly. I think that's the criteria.

Going equipped with large bazoombas and a comely face. I believe she even released a perfume. Who would buy that?

Maybe she pays them. My auntie is a nanny to a celebrity family in LA and there are all sorts of shenanigans with the press.

For example, celebrity mothers agent tells celebrity mother to go to a certain Starbucks. Then agent tells paparazzi. Celebrity mother has photo taken coming out of Starbucks. Both Starbucks and the paparazzi chaps pay the agent and she pays celebrity mother. Paparazzi sell the photos to the press.

She has breasts and moggles. Oh and she, thrillingly for DM frothers, gains and loses weight and boyfriends frequently.

Oh yes,savoy, there is definitely a lot of that going on with certain celebs. Especially beach holiday ones where they are soooo posed and engineered to get people raging Daniella Westbrook

I remember reading it about a year or two ago and they had a really nasty obsession with Chelsee Healey the actress. She was only young but the way they wrote about her was awful. It reminded me of the rantings of a jealous, possessive ex.

They weren't very nice about Jesy from Little Mix but I just googled her to check her name for this post and the first result was a DM article about her written in a much nicer tone than I'd seen before. I can only assume she has lost some weight and become more acceptable to the DM overlords.

They had an obsession about Kim K too, but I think that was more along the Kelly Brook line.

Because her agent will arrange it or pay them to.

Celebs who are contatantly in the papers for no reason usually have an arrangement with the papers and or, the paper, knows that it appeals to their readers.

By clicking on the site or link or buying the paper, you are helping out said celeb

Is Kelly Brook a model? I can't remember why she is famous.

I have never heard of Kelly Brook- who is she?

She was a TV presenter years ago, did The Big Breakfast for years (Kelly Brook). Then she did the lads mag rounds for a long time, so it was glamour modelling.

Apparently she's a actress/model. I remember seeing her in an episode of Marple years back, but according to her Wiki page she's been in more than that. I think she's more a paparazzi darling than an actress, which is OK until she gets too old for the Daily Mail.

What are moggles?

She earns money from selling pics and needs to maintain a public profile for endorsements and modelling jobs, so colludes with paps/DM to get coverage for such thrilling outings as 'filling up the car with petrol' or 'walking along a street'.

The DM wants to have a whipping boy/girl whose weight/relationship choices they can make snidey passive aggressive comments about, in order to goad the clickbait frothers into a comment frenzy.

Everyone's a winner. Apart from the general public.

I get angry with Daily Mail articles about Kelly Brook. She has put some weight on, still looks lovely, but the wording of the articles saying how thin and toned she is deliberately goads people into commenting about how fat shes actually is. The comments are dreadful. It's not just Kelly Brook, ive seen many an article written precisely in a way that makes people comment in a derogatory way towards a women's looks.

She's pretty and curvy and sells copy.

Case closed, Watson.

The other one is some randomer who was in a few episodes of Made in Chelsea a few years ago.

Her PR probably has close contacts at the Mail.

Sorry Wixing, I should have said "she has breasts and SHE moggles"

Moggle is an old timey MN word from days of yore when we used to get invaded by baby moggelling types.

Ah. I see, that makes a lot more sense, wasn't sure if I wanted to have moggles.

So they can write click bait that appeals to bitter, fat, ageing women like me where we can make ourselves feel better by sneering at other ageing women for getting fat.

Just being honest.
