Reserved, as it is, for only the most serious media issues of the day, this blog can reveal that it was only today that I discovered that they aren't. And what's more Virgin Media TV's Living channel has commissioned an hour-long pilot that follows one of them - not sure which - as he tries...
I've worked for some unutterable articles (or as the prospective Tory candidate for Gloucester might say 'councillors') in my time and I've never had any desire to work for either Simon Cowell or Sir Alan Sugar. It seems that the nation's sweetheart, the pie-faced foul-mouthed religious...
To avoid accusations of predictability, I'm not going to rant about the search for someone to play Jade Goody in a stage show - it's beyond parody anyway - or that Father Ted's Mrs Doyle has had a shave after finding success on Britain's Got Talent. I make no apology however for having...
Last year I said something pretty mean about Jade Goody and I'm sorry. I wrote she had PR cancer and then it turned out to be real.

Living TV has snapped up the rights to broadcast the wedding of terminally ill Jade Goody to her boyfriend for a reported £100,000, scheduled for mid-March, while OK!
