The 'C' word is banned, isn't it?

What a couple of douches.

Joss Stone has just sung the UK national anthem at the NFL game at Wembley.

She was booed a little upon entry.

She sung our already god-awful anthem as if she were auditioning for the X Factor, trying to get as many notes as she could into every syllable.

Never have liked Russell Brand. Two of my closest friends think he's amazing and I have to bite my tongue to keep from saying something that would offend them.

well, she is a fucking moron...

This is all over the BBC news today. Apparentley it happened at the beginning of the month. When it was aired there were a total of TWO complaints, and that was for the language, not the nature of the call. Andrew Sachs had made no complaint at the time, and was expecting a call from them . So why has it made the news now? BecauseDaily Mail has decided to run this story.

Of course the Mail initially laboured on the fact that they were appalled that someone could say such sordid things about someone's grandaughter. That is until today when it was discovrered that she is a glamour/fetish model. Now they are revelling in printing the pictures.

Oh, and as expected, Ross's salary got mentioned in the story.

My thoughts here

If any of the journos writing these stories actually listened to the show they'd know that Andrew Sachs' grandaughter was a member of the Satanic Sluts and had slept with Brand in less than romantic circumstances, because they started talking about this weeks ago when David Baddiel was guest hosting.

The whole thing is fucking ridiculous. God bless the moral majority.

I don't see anything wrong with it, it is all very silly.

Peaches Geldof's debut column for Nylon magazine

Some truly wonderful comments.

They've taken down about 1000 of them, but they just keep on coming.

Some of those comments are great, nothing could have prepared me for how bad that article is though.


I think they were right to delete all the nasty, bitter comments that were based on no more than ignorant and irrational prejudige. however, the person who posted the word 'cunt' 11,000 times made a valid point.

Is part of her appeal down to how plain she looks and normal girls think that could be them if only their dad had been in the Boomtown Rats?

Thinking about it, how is Bob Geldof so rich, he was only in the Boomtown Rats.

Also very unfortunate that they had to do something 'outrageous' and 'controversial' this week when Ross has a new book out and Brand has a new TV series starting....

I couldn't get past the second paragraph. This summed up my reaction to it quite well (and humorously):



Heeheehee. So true.

Did you see Africa getting fixed?

Pocketed the lot.

That and the insurance on Paula.

And slightly unfair - as badly written as the article is, there is a reasonably large paragraph where she mentions travelling through Colorado, Iowa and Indiana, among other places.

I like the fact that AA Gill made a remark. He is acers. And Edward Bulwer-Lytton. And Charles Dickens.

Oh Peaches - i feel for thou. She seems to have inherited the most annoying traits of both her parents. Sort of like the Shamden version of Linton Heathcliff.

I picked up a copy of 'Audition' recently, must remember to give it a spin. I understand it's a bit of a wince-fest.

"Wince" in an understatement. Like many Japanese films it's the slight "oddness" that makes it extra special.



Can someone please explain to me why The Lost Boys continues to perform well in polls. Better than Jaws? Pur-lease.

Saw?!!?

Fuck off.

I agree wholeheartedly. Fuck Saw right in the ear.

It is one of the worst "horror" movies I have had to sit through.

I quite enjoyed the first one, but it's placing is ridiculous. At least it's higher than The Lost Boys. The Lost Shit morelike. Or just plain Shit.

Wolf Creek??!

Fuck right off.

I know I'm constantly banging on about it but if there was a place for Planet Terror then the Dawn of the Dead remake should have been on there as well.

The Lost Boys is crap and clearly not a horror movie. Then again neither is Silence of the Lambs.

It's certainly a list of films.

I rather enjoyed Saw too. I certainly disagree with its placing though, way over the top, especially considering the placing for the likes of The Thing, Halloween, Misery, Jaws... just bizarre.

The Dawn Of The Dead remake would easily be in my 50. I think Silence Of The Lambs deserves a place on the list. Nice to see The Haunting in there.

Off the top of my head it's a shame there isn't room for Cabin Fever, Hostel 2 (soooo much better than the first), Dog Soldiers, The Howling and The Hills Have Eyes remake

Indeed, Saw can go do one. Whether or not it's good, it simply isn't scary. Audition for example, is creepy as fuck at times, but simply isn't as widely known, therefore doesn't get as high a placement, but of course movie lists are simply great because people love being pissed off at movie lists. If this were a true reflection of horror movies, then [REC] and Ju-On would get some kind fo placing, hell, even El Espinazo del Diablo is scarier than half of that list. Plus, Nosferatu should always be in the top twenty (at least) of any horror list.

Awwwww : King of the Hill cancelled.

Aw. Sad.

I always say 'propane' like Hank Hill says it.

I never really understood that programme

I used to watch it when it first started, but stopped years ago. It was okay, but I'm surprised it's lasted 13 years anyway!

What's to understand? It's like the Simpsons, but well-written and funny.

It was possibly the cartoon that made me laugh the most.

To my mind the Simpsons is better, I always found King of the Hill to be a bit too preachy.

It had a point, I don't think it was ever preachy. Not in the same way that South Park became, anyway.

Same here... I'm didn't realise they were still making it.

That's a shame. I mean, it's come close time and again but I never thought it ever would be. It was a warm, clever and funny program that really should have got a bigger following than it did.

I always thought King Of The Hill was weird amongst all the animated half hour shows out there, in that it would work just as well if it were live action. It's a shame, but 13 years is a damn good run for any sitcom.

Are you of the opinion that The Simpsons has never been well written and funny?

I always thought 'King of the Hill' was just a bit boring. Though, my Mum and Dad quite like it.

'South Park' isn't preachy, it's a satire and satire's not preachy, look at 'Gulliver's Travels'.... oh, hang on.

I think that Parker and Stone would be the first to admit that some of their episodes are preachy, but only when it concerns an issue which they feel very strong about, such as their recent attack on The Writer's Strike and that one about Kenny being put on life support. Though I suppose that's more a case of them putting forth their opinions rather than telling everyone how to think.

I thought King of the Hill had stopped ages ago.

It's about time The Simpsons got cancelled. It is so, so bad these days.

I still like The Simpsons. There are an awful lot more bad episodes than good these days but I can still watch them without wanting to retch, and once or twice a season they throw up a good episode.
