An interview with Neville Thurlbeck: The NoW was all about human frailty
MADAME Arcati interviews the News of the World’s Neville Thurlbeck:
Isn’t he adorable? There’s something about Neville Thurlbeck that suspends all sensible judgement. He needs little introduction suffice to say that once upon a time he was news editor and chief reporter of the late News of the World before Hackgate blew up his award-winning career. To date he’s been arrested twice but not charged, the second time over something he wrote on his riveting blog. What’s Rebekah Brooks really like? When did he lose his virginity? Who should play Rupert Murdoch in Screws: The Musical? He kindly indulged me with answers, and then some.

Simpletons thrilled as Anchorman 2 is announced by Will Ferrell
WHILE there is nothing quite as funny as an unexpected fart, there’s comedy that’s so puerile that you have to wonder what kind of person actively seeks it out and enjoys it. Who on Earth watches Adam Sandler films? Plankton? Equally as bad, but oddly, given the credible thumbs up, is the awful Will Ferrell who has spoiled everyone’s year by announcing the return of Ron Burgundy in Anchorman 2.
Will Ferrell, dressed in character and playing jazz flute, stopped by Conan O’Brien’s talk show last night to break the news that Paramount Pictures has officially greenlit a sequel to 2004 comedy Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Michelle Williams and Jason Segel become coolest couple in the world?
CELEBRITY couples are, for the most part, a gigantic pain in the balls. They parade themselves like parrots, squawking away at the paps and flaunting their extraordinary lives at us in a series of courtside seats, huge yachts and red carpet events. All the while, we stare at our Super Noodles and wonder how many ways we can conjure up our hatred.
However, not all celebrity couples are hateful, loathsome swine. Rumour has it, we’ve just got the nicest, coolest couple in the universe.
Apparently, Michelle Williams has fallen head-over-heels in love with Jason Segel, making them the most pleasant pairing of celebrities since Karl and Lenny from The Simpsons. A source told Us Weekly: “They are smitten and very serious.”

No kidding.

Alicia Silverstone feeds her son Bear off her tongue – video
ALICIA Silverstone tells her The Kind Life readers that to keep her and her son Bear in tune with Mother Earth she lives in a one-bedroom flat in Sheffield and never washes her teeth, fruit, veg or feet. No. Alicia and her husband, Christopher Jarecki, live in a big house in Los Angeles, air-conditioning capital of the US of A. But she does eat funny foods and feeds her son like penguin mother might. Alicia chews it up and lets her 10-month-old son suck it up – off mummy’s tongue:
I just had a delicious breakfast of miso soup, collards and radish steamed and drizzled with flax oil, cast iron mochi with nori wrapped outside, and some grated daikon. Yum! I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup…from my mouth to his. It’s his favorite…and mine. He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating. This video was taken about a month or 2 ago when he was a bit wobbly. Now he is grabbing my mouth to get the food!

Bobby Brown arrested for DUI, and announces Vegas wedding to Whitney Houston
WHILE Whitney Houston has barely cooled the soil around her in the ground, the circus that blighted her life continues apace. Mere days after the coroner announced that Whitney died of accidental drowning, her ex-husband Bobby Brown was arrested for driving under the influence.
Brown was pulled over on Monday in the San Fernando Valley for talking on his phone. After the police started talking to him, they suspected he might not be ‘all there’, leading the singer to fail his field sobriety test. Of course, Bobby had a tumultuous 14-year marriage with Houston and a long history of drug and alcohol abuse and troubles with the long arm of the law.
Yet, despite all this, it appears that Whitney Houston was planning to remarry Bobby Brown in Las Vegas with their daughter Bobbi Kristina. That’d be Bobbi Kristina who looks like she’s getting her leg over with her ‘brother’. No wonder Whitney was whacked out of her mind all the time.

Whitney Houston’s death door and other theme park sights
TMZ has news of “Whitney Houston’s “DEATH ROOM DOOR”. After Whitney Houston’s “death bed” and Whitney Houston’s “death bath” we now have Whitney Houston’s “death door” – news is that the door to the 4th floor Beverly Hilton hotel room where Whitney Houston died has had its number (434, since you ask) removed. Is this an attempt to deter ghouls? Is the hotel going to give the number a gilding and turn the room into a shrine? That for later?

Daily Mail gawps at ‘sexy’ underage Lourdes – Madonna might worry
HARD cheese on Madonna’s daughter Lourdes for being grassed up by the Daily Mail for smoking at 15. The paps pounced and flogged photos of the teenaged puffer hanging about with her pal in New York. The Mail says Lourdes seemed “very comfortable with it”. You see, Lourdsettes. It was not her first ciggie. Lourdes has, like, been soo smoking for soooo long.
The bigger worry are the middle-aged men staring at Lourdes. The Mail’s “Daily Mail Reporter”, notes:
Wearing a black and white mini dress with matching shoes, the 10th grade schoolgirl wore dark shades and her long hair loosely around her shoulders.

Rihanna and Ashton Kutcher are a couple and moving to the UK (WHAT?) – photos
OKAY. Here’s a bit of news that has come from absolutely nowhere – Rihanna and Ashton Kutcher are apparently an item. A baffling, ill-matched, brain melting item. And furthermore, they’ve got designs on being together in the UK. As if we haven’t suffered enough with the riots, bad budgets, NHS shake-up and invention of the BBC’s ‘The Voice’.
Yessir, Rihanna has reportedly been trying to persuade her rumored beau to spend the summer with her in the UK. He’ll invariably thinking that time in her warm, lovely and native Barbados would be preferable.

Simon Cowell finds intruder in his house! Everyone looks at Louis Walsh
IMAGINE the horror of someone breaking into your house with a mental look in their eye. Of course, if it happened to you, no-one actually cares. You have to be famous for people to show sympathy about such matters. And Simon Cowell, a man who doesn’t get much kindness from the world, found himself with a nutter in his house!
No, it wasn’t Louis Walsh masturbating in the lean-to.
Cowell had just settled down in his London mansion on Saturday night to watch himself on ITV’s Jonathan Ross show (of course he’s the kind of person who watches himself on television) when he heard a noise.

Britain’s Got Talent Hairy Halo Jonathan Antoine gets Susan Boyle-ed
CAN the media turn Britain’s Got Talent’s Jonathan Antoine into a victim and give him a Susan Boyle-styled hairy halo? The Daily Star makes fist of it, leading with:
“I NEEDED SHRINK TO FACE COWELL”
Wow, indeed. This sounds as is Jonathan Anotoine has mental health issues. Can it be that Antoine, the teenaged talent from Essex who performs live with his band Outside Art and has sang at London’s South Bank Centre, is so scared of Simon Cowell he needs a head doctor?
James Inham writes:
Britain’s Got Talent star Jonathan Antoine suffered a nervous breakdown after years of taunts about his size.
Jonathan Antoine is fat. This makes him an object of wonder. Fat used to mean jolly and confident, the life and soul of the party. Now it mean your a sad victim, TV’s Biggest Loser who needs help, saving and beating up.
The 17-year-old, who stunned millions with his amazing operatic voice last night, is seeing a psychiatrist and believes he can go all the way in the ITV1 show.

Hunger Games in photos – Jennifer Lawrence signs in New York
JENNIFER LAwrence is the stand-out star of The Hunger Games. We spotted her singing book at at Barnes & Noble in New York. Eat yer heart our Bella Swan… The Hunger Games trilogy is huge. It’s all about life of grisly death. Teeangers fight to the death for the entertainment of cynical adults. It’s the X Factor with bows and arrows and a dystopian backstory… Oh, and you can fancy Lawrence. Her character, Katniss, might be 16, but she is 21. She know the routine. As she says:
“I always think it’s kind of strange when actors are shocked by fame, or claim to be disgusted by it,” she says. “It’s kind of like, really? You knew what you were doing. You’re in movies. You can’t put walls around yourself and say, ‘No, I’ll only let myself get this successful’.”

Kim Kardashian attacked by bomb on red carpet
IMAGINE getting a bomb thrown at you! Well, we’re not talking about Archduke Franz Ferdinand, but poor Kim Kardashian who has had a grenade thrown at her hair and clothes while promoting a perfume!
Naturally, the bomb wasn’t filled with nails or anything remotely explosive, rather, it was a Last Day Of Secondary School Approved flour bomb, which left everyone without any semblance of reality bemused, angry and bemused again.
An unidentified Asian woman chucked a food mortar at the reality TV/sex tape star and everyone briefly hoped it was Anthrax, just because that would be a much more interesting story than something landing on her that was ostensibly the tasteless bit of a cake.

Scarlett Johansson email hacker Christopher Chaney is guilty of making the internet happy
THE Florida man who goes by the name of Christopher Chaney is going to plead guilty after being accused of hacking into the email accounts of film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis and other celebrities so he could share all their boobies with us.
Chaney will plead guilty on Monday to nine criminal counts, including unauthorized access to a computer and wiretapping, according to a plea agreement filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. The maximum sentence he’s facing is 60 years in prison, which is weird, because the bloke who killed a young black man for absolutely no reason isn’t getting anything done to him at all.
God bless America, eh?
