Trashing the stars?From correspondents in New York 28jun04 JUDGING by his rubbish, anti-war actor Sean Penn is partial to McDonald's, while John Travolta uses a biodegradable washing liquid, perhaps to compensate for the pollution caused by the jets he pilots. James Bond star Pierce Brosnan owns several pairs of $US10 ($14.50) extra-large jeans from trendy US clothing chain The Gap - the price tags were thrown out - and reads British news magazine The Economist. Halle Berry, Brosnan's co-star in Die Another Day, put fluffy ladybird slippers in her bin along with children's thongs and running shoes. These are just some of the items culled from the bins of Hollywood stars, photographed by two Frenchmen, Pascal Rostain and Bruno Mouron, and displayed at the Star Trash exhibition in New York. Rostain, who has been rummaging through stars' bins for 15 years, admits his work "stinks a lot" but claims it is a valuable piece of sociology. "Stars are like you and me," he says. "Their trash is like my trash." On the whole, he spared their blushes. "We threw away everything that was medical or sexual," he says. - The Sunday Times of London ******* Trash indeed.

I wonder what PB does with extra large jeans. I can't imagine he wears them.

Sheesh! This is why God invented shredders -- although one hopes none of these people were foolish enough to throw away anything truly personal in the way of record keeping, financial, medical or otherwise. I know, I know, you can't shred jeans - but they could hardly be PB's. What I'd like to know is how he got Gap jeans for $14.50! How bad must one's own life be to sort through someone else's trash? cg

Actually that's $10 U.S! What a steele! ;D
And yes I'd shred everything, and what I couldn't I'd have someone drive to the county dump! Vultures!

Then somebody'll write you have deep, dark secrets you're trying to cover. It's a no win situation, so why bother?

But they'd still be my secrets, dark or otherwise, and not my tagged garbage on display in a museum! Ace

I agree the size of a woman's clothes should remain a secret. As for everything else - if you take your garbage to the city dumpster, then it'll become your secret instead of the brand of detergent you use, and you'll still have a lot of other secrets you'll have to guard - your favorite restaurant, your favorite grocery store. You can hire a cook to eat home and a housekeeper to do your shopping, and then you'll go to a head shop and somebody will sell pictures from the security camera. Basically, once you're a target, you can't win, so why let them rule your life? Come to think of it - if those, er, those have nothing to print - they'll print something anyway, right?

You would think by now celebrities know to shred everything because sicko people will dig through their garbage.
Still, it shows you what kind of man Pierce is that he hasn't reached that level of paranoia yet. :-D

It probably never occured to any of these celebrities that someone would actually have a museum exhibition on their detergent bottles, fast food wrappers and jean price tags. Ace

People who don't have their own lives try to live through someone else's. As pathetic as it is, I suppose it's marginally - but only marginally better than actually stalking the stars. cg

Being a fan of someone's is one thing, going through their garbage another. It's kind of sad, really.
