The bosses discuss who will face the sack and Janet is sick of them acting like school kids.
After Lisa’s sacking in yesterday’s show the three celebs facing the boot was reduced to two and it became a toss up between Ingrid and Blair.
Janet said of Ingrid: “As far as I’m concerned I gave her a bollocking about the shopping and buying a handbag, but she can’t write to save her life.”
Darryn said: “She talks a good situation about all her celeb contacts but just can’t deliver.”
Blair hasn’t impressed anyone this week and again Darryn had a moan at his inability to pap celebs, despite getting an excellent spread this week.
“About 80% of the pics were of Abi Titmuss with celebs, again,” said Darryn.
But the real grievance from the editors this week concerned the celebrities’ inability to take the sackings seriously. The Deadline team were summoned to the boardroom to learn who would be sacked, but they were given a dressing down first.
“One of you is getting sacked today and you’re all laughing about it,” said Joe, before Janet finally let rip.
“Well I feel an increasing sense of frustration,” said Janet. “Darryn, Joe and I are people who have reputations as people who have made a living in journalism. Now if you lot wanna f**k about and be like St Trinian’s in the office then go ahead and we’ll sack the whole f**king lot of you.
“Believe me it’d be just as easy to bring this magazine out between the three of us and it’d be a lot less f**king hassle,” she said.
Blair gets the boot
After Chris was sacked last week for finding papping celebs difficult, the same problem worked against Blair. When asked to defend himself he had little to say.
“You’re right, I only delivered one set of pictures and I knew I could do that as it was a situation I could control. When I’m out in the street papping I really struggle with this industry,” said Blair.
Janet said: “Ok Blair, I’m sorry I’ve got to say this, you can’t hack it so clear your desk. You are out of here. Say your goodbyes to everyone and then you’re out of here.”
As he cleared his desk Blair said: “I actually backed myself this week because I felt like I hadn’t done enough.”
Janet and co were keen to show there were no hard feelings and Janet said it was a decision made more difficult after she’d had to sack Lisa.
“At least you’re going out without a strop!” she remarked.
