The News of the World's three leading headlines concern celebrity antics, supporting my belief that England is a nation of starfuckers. I'm sure they only keep the royal family for celebrity factor.
First up, BECK OFF, where David Beckham is caught on-camera having a go at a paparazzo. You can even watch the outburst in Real or Windows Media formats on the NotW website.
Then there's DANNII'S LESBIAN CCTV SEX.
And finally the News has caught out Ralph Fiennes cheating on long-term older partner Francesca Annis, in ANOTHER FIENNES MESS.
Given the celebrity obsession it goes without saying that News of the World is a Murdoch paper, and in a way it's the Sunday issue of the The Sun. It's sensationalised content fetches the nicknames "Screws of the World" and "Sex 'n' Scandal Weekly".
A few months back, I forwarded a link to The Australian ("Storm sounded like a terrorist bomb") to my work colleagues. I thought it was very funny, but it went over like a lead balloon. Not one person laughed. They didn't even acknowledge receiving it. It took me ages to realise that Al-Qaeda jokes don't always go down well with Londoners. Whoops about that!
Crazy fact of the day: Did you know that Lois Maxwell, who played Miss Moneypenny in 14 Bond films, now resides in Perth!? Crazy!
And finally here are some videos that have brought a smile to my face:
- The MossTrill 5000, which every household needs;
- Soulwax's excellent E Talking music video; and
- a funny parody of Madonna's Hung Up music video.
