Brangelina Split: A High Brow Take


When the first couple of Page 3 universe Brangelina decided to part ways this website of a little known London based free newspaper City A.M. decided to turn much maligned dumbing down on its head. 

While the media and blogosphere was awash with the news about this celeb divorce with jazzy headlines and reporters and analysts were busy splitting hairs over the 'other woman' behind this Page 3 show stopper and the number of zeroes in the impending divorce settlement of this Hollywood power couple, City A.M took a different course.

It decided to give a high brow touch with a bland headline "London School of Economics lecturer to divorce actor husband". It brought to the fore a little known fact of Tomb Raider star being a visiting lecturer at a 'respected' London university, a post she took up as recently as May. However it did display her picture prominently in order to ensure that the reader does not forego the story completely.

Wonder how many lecturers get this kind of publicity when they divorce their spouses?
