Just when you think it’s safe to embrace another clich?, guess again.

Undoubtedly, you've heard the truism that there’s no such thing as bad publicity. The tabloids might wrongly accuse you of committing a heinous crime, but if they spell the name of your web site properly, eliciting enough clicks, you’ll come out ok.

And there seem to be some shining examples of this philosophy.

G. Gordon Liddy, that once reviled Watergate burglar, made a name for himself in that scandal, and the exposure paved to way to a best-selling book, and to a very successful career in talk radio.

Watergate publicity, though excoriating, game him the immeasurably important gift of name recognition, coveted by every ratings-conscious producer in showbiz.

Heidi Fleiss, the Hollywood madam who was tried and convicted, enjoyed a brief but apparently successful stint as a fashion designer and retailer of Heidi-wear, miscellaneous treats for the tart.
