       >> Lynne Franks: the "inside" story <<
       I'm a Celebrity, get it out of here

   Lynne Franks is playing the earth mother on
   I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here but her
   legendary PR company was a terrifying place to
   work in the 80s and early 90s. There was
   compulsory African dancing and Buddhist chanting.

   A favourite story among her staff was when
   she phoned her PA in a panic early one morning
   asking for an emergency appointment at her local
   clinic, "for a retrieval". Her PA was bemused
   but the story filtered out. Lynne had been having
   sex with Seal the night before and the condom had
   got lost "inside" somewhere.

       >> Big Questions <<
       What people are asking this week

   Which Brit DJ/dance producer went on a
   prestigious gig to Russia but woke up in his
   hotel bed covered in blood? At his club appearance
   the local mafia were horrified at his request
   for mixers to go with his vodka so he embarked
   on a eight-hour drinking binge with them
   culminating in the DJ being carried back to his
   hotel. His hosts were similarly trashed so
   didn't notice they'd bashed his head on the
   door to his room and cut his ear open.

       >> Our hero <<
       Enrique throws himself into his work

   Enrique Iglesias has been over here in UK
   doing concerts at Wembley and hitting the
   London clubs. Sadly nothing of much note
   happened which could beat our favourite ever
   story of a Enrique Iglesias gig. Enrique was
   doing a concert in Rome and his people arranged
   for some models and pretty girls to be stationed
   in front of the left-hand side of the stage, so he
   could dive in for some great photo and TV shots.
   The crew reminded him when he went on, "left side,
   Enrique". He thought they meant stage left.
   So when Iglesias dived off the stage for his photo
   opp, he wasn't where he thought he'd be. Instead,
   he landed right in the disabled fans area.

       ITV's morning glory

   While it is obviously amusing to see Jeremy
   Kyle getting it in the neck from the tabloids,
   it's good to remember he's not the only person
   responsible for his "bear-baiting" TV show.
   One TV executive told us how surprised they've
   been to see ITV claim to be shocked that violence
   should break out on the Kyle show, as at a
   commissioning meeting, TV production companies
   were told they were looking for new shows
   to fill the "Chavs Fighting" morning slot.

Lilly Allen is getting her own BBC Three show. What
she doesn't know, is that for internal political
reasons, she might have to record it in Scotland.

       >> Pop mini-me's grow up <<
       Whatever happened to S Club Juniors?

   S Club 8 burst on to the pop scene in 2001
   to a general sense of indifference. They
   quickly went away. So where are they now?
   Hannah went back to school, Jay wants to go
   into business after his A Levels, Rochelle
   is "modelling", Stacey is learning to play
   the guitar, Calvin is on a US TV show, Frankie
   recently received her bronze swimming
   certificate and Aaron is a dancer.

   And Daisy? She's a Score Angel, one of the
   News of The World's barely dressed cheerleaders.
   So how does the paper, the scourge of Britain's
   paedophiles, introduce this 17 year-old "32C
   blonde beauty"? "At 12-years-old she was the
   sweetest thing on the pop scene... but now
   she's set to be the hottest talent on
   England's football pitches."

       The sexual arousal of Turkeys

   It's really not a good time of year for Turkeys.
   Tens of thousands are being culled in a bird flu
   scare. And then there's Christmas. But don't
   spare too much sympathy. They're icky little
   buggers. Researchers at Penn State University
   have been investigating the sexual arousal of
   male turkeys. They were impressed to see that
   the birds attempted to mate with look-a-like
   dummies. Piece by piece they removed parts of
   the dummy and found that the males were still
   highly aroused when presented with no more than
   a head on a stick. However it doesn't work in
   reverse. The turkeys failed to get the horn
   for a turkey with no head. (We've yet to find
   out if this is true of Steve Coogan...)

       Anthony Costa strikes out alone

   Anthony Costa, the one who looked like a plumber
   in Blue, has announced his first solo tour
   of the UK next year. It starts on February 16,
   at The Brindley, in Runcorn and finishes on
   March 26, 2008 in Barrow in Furness, England.

   From Runcorn to Barrow-in-Furness. One of the
   saddest sentences in pop.

       BBC loses out to California sunshine

   BBC staff are rather sad this year about
   Children In Need, a moment of warmth and
   levity in their otherwise besieged world.
   Their big celebrity pop guests of the year,
   the Spice Girls, have decided to film their
   performances in LA. (Even though they
   managed to do their supermarket
   adverts here). People are grumbling
   that "even Madonna managed to drag her arse
   down to Television Centre to perform two
   years ago".
