I came across this blog entry by Aled from Radio 1’s Chris Moyles Show on the subject of Jade Goody and the racism row that she’s sparked off.

Aled makes some great points, which I hadn’t considered like the price of an interview with Jade going up as a result of there being no press conference the other night:

It’ll jar with most people, but Jade’s price for her story will have tripled from it’s already high figure for a tabloid paper now that they didn’t get a chance to interview her in the press conference. I know of “normal” BB housemates that have got a quarter of a million pounds for their story, and that’s without the celebrity angle let alone the whole circus of the last 7 days. She could now quite easily be looking at a £1 million interview. Hardly the start of the downfall of someone’s career! Whether they would want to take that cash for PR reasons is another matter. Woolworths incidentally yesterday announced that sales for Jade’s workout DVD have escalated on a daily basis during the last 7 days.

I’m shocked that her workout DVD is starting to sell better as a result of all this. Especially considering that she’s been caught out as having liposuction!
