Poor Christmas Television
December 27, 2008
Do you not think that Christmas television has been terrible this year?!
On Sunday night, as per usual I looked forward to Top Gear at 8pm. However, when I was channel flicking at 7:30pm I was gutted to realise that it was already on. Then I noticed that it all seemed a little familiar… they were showing the same episode as last week!
It’s a few days before Christmas and the BBC are showing reruns of a current series. Terrible!
Not only this, but where are the abundance of Christmas films, programs and music? These days we are paying more than ever for television services and I think it is about time we got our moneys worth, instead of Terry Wogan, Jonathon Ross and the likes taking the majority of it!
I think that the TV networks have let themselves and the paying public down this year! Let’s hope that they get their acts together for Christmas 2009!
Get Into Harry Potter’s Pants!
November 29, 2008
I heard today that you can literally get into the Harry Potter, AKA Daniel Ratcliffe’s pants!
Apparently the jeans that Daniel has been wearing during his stint on Broadway, in Equus are going up for on auction. The auction will take place on Saturday for Equity Fights Aid’s / Broadway Cares campaign.
Following the Saturday afternoon show Daniels Lucky Brand jeans with be auctioned from the Broadhurst Theatre, New York.
This is the second pair of jeans that Daniel has auctioned off, the previous pair brought in £633 in November. I wonder how much our favourite wizards pants will go for this time?
My High Maintenance Puppy
November 5, 2008
Who knew that you have to socialise your puppy?! I have become the parent of a Siberian Husky and now apparently have to take him to classes and socialise him. By all accounts, the pup will have a more active social life than me.
Max (my Siberian Husky) has begun showing traits that he thinks he’s the alpha male. He may be right? He’s so cute, with his beautiful blue eyes and soft fur that all I want to do is lavish him with love and affection. Then, ninety percent of the time in return I am bitten!
All I want is my lovely ball of fur to perhaps lap up the attention and be cute rather than savaging my arm off. So, puppy training is the way forward. Max is just a diamond in the rough awaiting my guidance on being the perfect pup…
… to be continued.
Duffy’s Early Bonfire
November 2, 2008
Last week Welsh singer Duffy accidently set her hair on fire backstage at a Coldplay concert. 
Duffy supported Coldplay at a Cleveland gig in Ohio, however found herself in great peril when her blonde mop caught on fire from a candle backstage in her dressing room.
The Mercy singer said:
“I was in the dressing room and I had music on and candles alight. The venue was a huge stadium, like a big sports centre. The dressing rooms had big white lights, no mirrors and lockers all along. They were super cool but you wouldn’t want to spend three hours in there. So I was giving it a little bit of razzle dazzle. I had dimmed the lights then I lit this candle and it started melting a bit. I thought, ‘S**t!’ and started blowing it out. I got a cloth to wipe it up and bent down, not realising it was still lit. Then the entire left side of my hair went up in flames.”
The situation got worse when Chris Martin came down to visit her, she had never met him before and it can be assumed that she did not have a good hair day for the occasion.
I think that she may be a typical girl at heart, with usual drama queen antics… she went on to say:
“Can you imagine if I had gone up in flames? Nightmare. I honestly saw my life flash before my eyes.”
Jonathon Woss Trouble Continues
November 1, 2008
TV Presenter Jonathon Ross has dropped out of presenting the 2008 British Comedy Awards due to show on ITV in December.
This is following the Radio 2 controversy regarding prank calls to Andrew Sachs, Fawlty Towers actor. 
Jonathon Ross has been suspended for 12 weeks from all BBC programmes as a result of the joke calls made on the Russell Brand Radio 2 show.
The British Comedy Awards are in their 18th year with Ross presenting for the last 16 years.
In my opinion the whole affair has been blown out of proportion. Jimmy Carr has joined me in this trail of thought also saying that Ross is a ‘national treasure’.
Jeremy Vine, fellow Radio 2 presenter said that Jonathon will find coming back from his suspension difficult and went onto say:
“It will be interesting to see how he manages given the damage to this radio station, I’m going to be interested to see that - I’m not quite sure how it’s going to work.”
The whole thing has gone crazy, with many people who didn’t even listen to the show complaining! Russell Brands comedy is a bit risqué and Jonathon was a part of his show. Andrew Sachs has accepted both presenter’s apologies and I think it is about time the UK did the same.

David released a statement:
“I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.”
Funnily enough he played a sex-obsessed character in the hit TV series Californication. Is this one of those situations where the actor takes a role a little bit too seriously?! Read the rest of this entry »
