Talk about contrasts

Friday, November 17th, 2006 | Celebrity, Random

The new Bond film had its premiere in Zurich, Switzerland. Oh my god, international stars like Daniel Craig, Catelina Moreno, director Martin Campbell, Tina Turner together with the best of Switzerland’s prominence (beauty pageants, athletes and singers) lining up on a proper red carpet: this is newsworthy, enough to put it on the front page of today’s commuter newspaper, and on page 2 and also add a 6-page special.

Surely, the young new bride of Bond-director Martin Campbell (61) Sol Romero (23) has to be shown as well. After all she’s a local (if having a Swiss mother and spending holidays if Switzerland makes you a local) and she sure does look stunning all dressed up for the premiere. As she did in London! However, try find a picture of her on wireimage or the like and you’ll have a hard time. So much for being noticed… Also the more serious newspapers have the event on the cover and in the PEOPLE section. It has a picture of Sol Romero kissing Martin Campell (it looks rather pathetic) and says that she repeatedly kissed him demonstratively. After all she has to prove she’s in love and didn’t marry him just for career and prestige reasons…. (Galleries: 1, 2) A little bit of trivia: Though I’ve never met her personally, I have some connection to her. My brother-in-law’s family used to be ‘friends’ with hers. And my sister met her once.

And on page 2, what does it say beneath the picture of last night’s glamourous event: little baby boy found on the street between 2 cars, seriously wounded. And on top of the cover picture on the other newspaper: Another story of youngsters (in this case a group of 13 guys who are 15-18 years old) raping & abusing a girl (a 13-year-old) Over the past few weeks there have been lots and lots of stories like this, sometimes the kids involved were much younger (5-8 years old). Talk about contrasts…
