ANNA Chapman is to design a range of clothing for the man about space. All aboard the Khrunichev [Space] Center may one ay be sporting a racy off-the breast number in symbolic red.

Meanwhile we await news of the nine other Russian spies deported from the US, who on account of their lack of telegenic looks have slipped into obscurity. In the old days, the West’s archetypal Russian woman was a thick-wristed drudge dressed in potato skins, and the spies would have been rewarded for their anonymity.

The Phil Collins Parade Is Not A Joke: But It Could Be

PHIL Collins is being celebrated in a parade through New York. Is it a joke? To even think Collins could be the target of a joke is, admittedly, odd, given that the musician is one of the UK’s top pop stars. But Collins is naff, isn’t he? He’s had his day.

JUSTIN Bieber was pouring himself a soda and eating nachos at the premiere of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never at the Cineworld O2, by the O2 Arena. For those of you who foolishly spent the night watching Arsenal beat Barcelona (and that includes me – and I am ashamed as I watch the goals over and over and over and…), here are the photos of what you missed.

Justin Bieber Says Rape Happens For A Reason, A Bit Like The Handicapped

JUSTIN Bieber is talking about sex in Rolling Stone. Vanessa Grigoriadis asks the questions as they drive in a car. You might think that talking about sex with Bieber would get you seven years to life and cause birds and bees to fly backwards.

So. About the sex?

“I don’t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them. I think you should just wait for the person you’re…in love with.”

Grigoriadis sees an image on Bieber’s laptop. It’s his avatars- the small black girl in the plaid skirt? No. It’s Selena Gomez.

The talk turns to nationalism. Does Bieber want to be an American?

“You guys are evil. Canada’s the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard’s baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby’s premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.”

Politics:

“I’m not sure about the parties. But whatever they have in Korea, that’s bad.”

Abortion:

“I really don’t believe in abortion It’s like killing a baby?” How about in cases of rape? “Um. Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.”

He hasn’t been raped. Hey, but like all people who are successful, they know that everything happens for a reason. Grigoriadis fails to ask him what he thinks of the handicapped…

Brit Awards For Climate Change: Justin Bieber’s Severed Head (Photos)

How Online Bullies Forced Tamara Ecclestone To Think About Running A Bath

YOU might suppose that given her father Bernie Ecclestone’s vast wealth, Tamara Ecclestone would opt to work as a nurse, teacher, research scientist or soldier. Instead, Tamara has opted for the perilous and challenging path of “celebrity”.

This week, Tamara is a “slender model and TV presenter”.

Tamara is at home when Hello! comes calling. Beneath the quote, “I’m not a spoilt ungrateful brat who doesn’t know the value of money”, we’re swiftly introduced to “14 shelves…stacked with Christian Louboutins alone, with a further 22 pairs of Ugg boots and at last 50 pairs of pumps.”

There are Hermes Berkin bags (“17 in total”), lots of dresses and a “collection of sunglasses”.

“Despite the overwhelming choice, Tamara says it takes her five minutes to get ready in the morning, but considerably longer if she’s going out to an event.”

Track Of The Day: Chase Hamblin – Bye Bye

Chase Hamblin currently has about 12 fans in the UK, which is tragic given just how talented the man is. A native of Houston, USA, Hamblin is fast making a name for himself for producing some of the most exquisite power pop around.

He recently issued a five track EP which you can download from iTunes or Amazon or, sneak a quick listen to on MySpace, that is just about perfect. This tune, Bye Bye, is his big Hey Jude moment. A slow strum of song that boasts a killer chorus and a bang on na na na na finale. It is incredible, but yet isn’t even the best moment on his EP. That accolade goes to A Fine Time, a song that will make anyone who remembers Jellyfish, Matthew Sweet or any of the other 90s power poppers grin from ear to ear.

Let’s hope he makes it to these shores soon.
