We all know what “critic proof” is – Who is “Bad PR Proof?”

Monday question of the day…

Fantastic Four has been called "Critic Proof" so many times, I’m ready to actually go see it. But my question – who’s "Bad PR Proof?"

Who is so "up there" that no amount of bad PR can hurt them so much that it actually bothers them?

I’ll start – much as we hate to admit it, Paris Hilton.

Who else?

I think Tom Cruise is up there now. The more bad PR he gets, the higher he bounces on Oprah’s chair. Short of pictures emerging on the internet of him with another man…in bed…doing…”things”…he’s pretty much “bad pr proof”

I gotta go with Bono from U2 on this one. U2′s albums are usually lauded, his work for Africa is always hailed… Rarely doesn’t anything stick to this guy, and he lives a solid rock-star life.

I think Johnny Depp fits this bill too. He does precisely what he wants and nobody seems to criticize. Move to the south of France to start a family? OK. Play Willy Wonka? Why not.
