Katherine Jenkins Criticized, à la David Beckham, for Amazing Finish at the 2013 London Marathon...Time to Say Goodbye!

Daily Mail columnist Jan Moir--who seems to have an ax to grind against popular musicians--has now attacked the blonde Welsh starlet for being too well-groomed at the 2013 London Marathon.

Here's Moir's lede:

Just when it seemed the wells of wonder had run dry, just when it appeared that no more fountains of awe could be pumped up from the oily crust of celebrity reverence, just when you thought that we had been beaten into submission by the never-ending brilliance and talent of our favourite stars, Katherine Jenkins does something to astound.

To be fair, Moir isn't really upset about Jenkins' fake tan or fake eyelashes. And she cares not if Kath's breasts are real. If anything, the columnist castigates the crossover for being fake--overall.

Here's the nut of Moir's piece:

The most important one being: is it wrong to think that no matter what Katherine does or says, however good the cause or how sincere her intent might be, she can never quite shake herself free from the thick fog of self-interest that seems to cloak everything she does?

Of course, Moir's not totally without a rhetorical paddle here. In fact, the muckraker makes some very clear arguments as to why the "fame-hungry" Jenkins might just be the worst.

Ever.

From Kath's Twitter non-story of the David Beckham affair to her awful busty outfit at Margaret Thatcher's funeral to her whole classical career thus far, suffice it to say that Jan Moir is not less here.
