We love publicists. They keep us stocked with CDs and information about their artists. But once in a while, a publicist oversteps their boundaries. Case in point: By the time the Osmond family started to go downhill in a fashion echoed by the Brady Bunch after they introduced that seventh kid Cousin Oliver, Donny Osmond was sick of being a teenybopper, so his publicist tried to think of ways to scuff up his nice-boy image. As Osmond tells the U.K.’s Times Online, “My publicist even put together a campaign to get me busted for drugs to dirty up my image. I almost went for it.” Donny Osmond on drugs? While only a Kevin Spacey-in-Se7en-esque killing spree would truly darken Osmond’s reputation (look at that sweetheart with a keytar up there!), this admission does reveal the sordid measures some publicists attempt in hopes of promoting their famous clientele.
