It seems that celebrities and pollies have finally cottoned on that the public like to see a little emotion in our leaders, but are these tears real or crocodile...?
1. Julia Gillard - After being criticised for showing no emotions during the floods, immediately after gave a teary speech with the Australian flag in Parliament. yesterday she got a little choked up when addressing the Americans in Congress. This should counter-balance the hit in the polls the carbon tax brought her. Sincerity factor: 2/5
2. Anna Bligh - Got the trend started when she went from zero to hero in her emotional, "We. Are. Queenslanders," speech that inspired her State to soldier on and regain their pride. Sincerity factor: 4.5/5
3. Nicole Kidman- Cried abut something on 60 Minutes but had to loudly state, "I can't believe I'm crying on 60 minutes," which I think she assumed would be a great sound bite for the promo, and it was. Sincerity factor: 1/5
4. Kylie Minogue- Cried on Sunday Night with Molly Meldrum, seemed teary from the get go, is probably just exhausted as well. Sincerity factor: 3/5
5. Oprah Winfrey- Cried on her last interview, I couldn't believe how long it took a crew member to hand her a tissue. Wake up, sound guy, the Queen's mascara is running. Sincerity factor: 3.5/5
Everyone cries on The Biggest Loser, My Kitchen Rules and The Farmer Wants a Wife. But what's wrong with a few tears anyway?
