Jerry Hall banned from Tube
Jerry Hall has been banned from the Tube. Or rather, posters of the Texan model have been banned. Hall was pictured with 12 semi-naked men on a dog leash.
But the sight of Mick Jagger's ex-wife posing in such a provocative way offended the bosses of London Underground because of its "sexually demeaning" content.
They ordered the posters, which promote her new VH1 series, Kept, be torn down witin hours of going up on the walls of Tube stations. Hall, 49, hosts the show over the next 10 weeks.
In it, 12 younger men battle to become her toyboy in return for a six-figure sum, and thus a "kept" man.
The show has already aired in America, where it had mixed reviews. "Seldom has whoring for ratings seemed quite so brazen," wrote Variety's TV critic. Sceptical minds might wonder if VH1's Tube posters were a publicity stunt.
