I do have to wonder why these young women do this to themselves—make sex tapes and then try to put themselves forward into the public eye. They must know by now that in this digital age such tapes are obviously going to become public. Don’t they? Well, you would have thought so, and I would have thought so, but perhaps … [Read More]

It has to be said that it’s getting a little difficult to keep up with just how many girlfriends David Letterman has had from the show. As I write, the count is up to four. Holly Hester has just appeared out of the woodwork, saying she dated him for a year back in the ‘90s. There’s some other as-yet-unnamed lady alleged … [Read More]

It’s often been pointed out that there’s a certain frisson, for a certain sort of man, to watching two women duking it out over something or other. Perez Hilton may not be female, technically, but his glory in bitchy gossip and backbiting should qualify him. And Demi Moore definitely has the looks to attract a crowd to watch such a catfight. … [Read More]

If the National Enquirer is to be believed, John Edwards is the father of Frances, the baby born to Rielle Hunter back in February ‘08. The Enquirer is not, of course, everyone’s first choice for sound and objective news analysis, but in this particular case, it’s probably wisest to take their word for it. For they have been consistently on top … [Read More]

The Berlusconi Sex Tapes, and the Scandal that isn’t. There’s something a little odd going on with these sound tapes of Silvio Berlusconi and the “escort” that have been popping up in the Italian media. The oddity being that while the escort herself seems to be incensed with the way she’s been treated by the prime minister (and there are a … [Read More]

It has to be said that punching Perez Hilton is something that has crossed my mind more than once. I find this blogger about celebrities who has become a celebrity (although Z list as yet) in his own right insufferably annoying. Sorry. But there it is. It’s not particularly rational nor even an honorable thought, but the man just manages to … [Read More]

British elections are known, just like American ones, for the boring consistency with which the two main parties dominate the results. Sure, there’s the occasional socialist from Vermont, perhaps a Liberal Democrat wins a seat in some strange part of England. But we know in our heart of hearts that it’s always going to be either the Republicans (on my side … [Read More]

So now we’ve had Jamie Foxx recommending, nay, insisting, that Miley Cyrus should make a sex tape. This might sound like a strange career move (and the career advice coming from a strange source) but such is the pomp and circumstance of modern day celebrity. Just to set the scene for you. Miley Cyrus is the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, … [Read More]

During dark days I’m convinced that those who set themselves up to rule over us are knaves and poltroons to a man and woman: on the good days I’m willing to admit that there might indeed be those of probity, worthy of honour, amongst them. However, I’m never willing to admit that the end results of the activities of politicians, the … [Read More]

If I could just say a belated thank you to the voters in the Democratic primaries over the last election cycle? Yes, I know, I’m as little enthused by President Obama as you are but just think what those voters did. They enabled us all to dodge the appalling thought of President (Hillary) Clinton. Evidence of how awful this would in … [Read More]
