We here at the
Shuttle / Careless Whispers feel for today's sub-editors. Most have been replaced by online services. Sub editors on major newspapers could often make or destroy a story and at the very least, were superb 'fact checkers'.
Alas for the Britain's
Daily Mail newspaper we must assume their sub editors are under immense pressure. Why would they make a glaring mistake like this?.
No, the lady pictured with the caption
"the gossip columnist" is
not well known Sydney scribe
Ros Reines. In fact we have no idea who she is.
This is the "gossip columnist"
Ros Reines in our featured pic. Admittedly the 2 ladies do look similar, equally vivacious but they are not the same person.
Still, it's the thought that counts.

This
Daily Mail faux paus reminds
Whispers of when they confused
(as pointed out by moi) comedienne
Tracey Ullman's late mother with the Australian actress
Little Nell of
Rocky Horror fame. One look at the snap and it's pretty clear both ladies are of similar age. Of course in the online world, never having to say you're sorry is the only way to survive.
