That's just not right ...

Newsweek have a 'Diana at 50' cover, with a digitally aged Diana:


It's not just me, she totally looks like a Zombie, yes?

Let this be a lesson to all of you to always wear a seatbelt, lest the media forever ignore both your many good works and all semblance of good taste when it comes to considering your family's feelings in favour of a 'cover with impact'.

(And don't hang out with Tina Brown if you ever plan to be the least bit famous, she will revivify any fleeting connection far beyond the point when any trashy 50s' horror flick voodoo priestess would be ashamed!)

I googled the actual article:
http://www.newsweek.com/2011/06/26/what-princess-diana-s-life-might-look-like-now.html

...and it's just as bad as I thought. Ugh. So disrespectful and in extremely poor taste all around:(

Tina Brown's references to knowing Diana sort of remind me of that book by a psychic that Diana consulted. I can't recall the author or title now, but IMO the woman was trying to make money by trading in on their acquaintance. So tacky.
