Meet the writer
Victoria Lane
“A rumor is not a story until we know what is actually true.”
Victoria started BeautyPositive after a decade of reading celebrity news the way other people read weather reports: daily, slightly annoyed, and certain it could be done better. She runs the editorial calendar, writes the big transformation stories and signs off on every Rumor / Reality box herself. She keeps a file of predictions that turned out wrong, her own included, and rereads it once a month to stay humble. Off the clock she reads court filings, award-show seating charts and the small print under paparazzi photos for fun.
