EgyptAir seeks to shift blame for Drew Barrymore interview

EgyptAir is trying to shift the blame to a local advertising agency for a bizarre article in its in-flight magazine purportedly based on an interview with actress Drew Barrymore. The airline said Monday it has an agreement with Al-Ahram advertising agency, which edits articles and interviews for the Egyptian carrier's in-flight magazine, Horus. According to EgyptAir, the agency is "totally responsible" for the magazine's editorial content. US press reports have quoted Barrymore's representatives as denying any such interview took place, with some suggesting the author must have based her article on misinterpretations of a press conference. The Al-Ahram agency said a representative of the actress contacted Tekla about the interview to say that the American actress never spoke to Horus. <br/>
