       >> Back to bedlam <<
       Laugh at the celebrity inmates

   The Sun's Bizarre column had this breast-obsessed
   take on Amy Winehouse's rehab issues:
   “It's chest what we all wanted to see – Amy
   looking almost back to her best. She took a
   break from rehab... She returned there two-and-a-
   half hours later, flanked by police. Maybe they
   were investigating a robbery at a chicken
   fillet factory.”

   Heat's website uses that heart-breaking photo
   of Britney crying in the street before being
   carted off to the psych ward to illustrate
   their “Britney News” section.

   Kerry Katona, the wretched bipolar halfwit
   manipulated across the media by the Dark
   Lords of PR, is in a MTV reality show
   amusingly titled Crazy In Love, with promo
   adverts of her in a straitjacket.
  
   Come on, surely there are enough sane self-
   important celebrities left to harangue?

The lawyer appointed by a US Court as guardian of
Britney's money and estate is called Andrew Wallet.

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

   Which Brit-born US TV star once left his
   UK TV handlers to pick up the bill from a
   hotel room he'd vacated, leaving a urine-
   soaked mattress, shit wiped on the walls,
   and curtains ruined from the ties being
   ripped off for use in an S&M game?
 
   This tabloid bigwig celebrated the opening
   of The Beatles hotel last weekend with a
   big drinking session in the bar. And
   when the spouse was packed off to bed
   the love-rat was caught with another
   hotel guest enjoying a sleazy snogging
   marathon in the stairwell.

       >> News in Briefs <<
       MPs could learn from The Sun

   The ‘news in briefs’ column on page 3 in the
   Sun yesterday reported that Keeley, 21 from
   Bromley, supports the crackdown on MPs
   employing family members: “MPs should not
   be able to employ whoever they like and pay
   them as much as they want to. There has to be
   some kind of controls put in place.”

   As usual, Keeley was snapped by Alison Webster,
   who takes all the photos for page 3. She is
   married to the Sun’s executive picture editor
   Geoff Webster, and they are the loving parents
   of Charlotte, who goes by the name of Jak, 21,
   from Tunbridge Wells, when she makes her
   own appearances on page 3.

       >> Not gay Gruffudd <<
       Say sorry to a celebrity

B2DI writes:
   “I am a boy. I met Ioan Gruffudd at a party. I
   fancied him. I was really drunk. I got a photo
   taken with him and while we were posing, I
   groped his bum. Afterwards I told people he
   had groped my bum and that he was definitely
   gay and this was the proof.

   I made it up. I think I kind of believed it
   myself for a bit. Sorry Ioan.”

Repent sinners! Say sorry.

There's a strong rumour that an Arrested Development

       The Winehouse effect hits Girls Aloud

   Amy Winehouse was summoned for crisis talks
   with Universal music supremo Lucian Grange
   a couple of weeks ago. The press were tipped
   off and she arrived to a throng of waiting
   paparazzi circling the entrance to Universal.

   A little later Girls Aloud also turned up
   for a meeting. They pushed through the paps
   and sweetly told staf inside they were shocked,
   but a little pleased, that the paps were
   there in such numbers to greet them.

   (A couple of days later the Ashley Cole
   shagging stories broke - careful what you
   wish for, Cheryl!)

There is a bump in the mortality of males in their

       >> Bez makes tea  <<
       It's great when you're straight, yeah

minky_chunky writes:
   “I spotted Bez in Somerfields in Chorlton
   yesterday. He was wearing hightop trainers,
   blue leggings, cycling shorts over them and
   then shorts shorts over that. He asked staff
   if there was any more organic veg as he was
   making a curry for his tea and preferred organic.

Miles Kingston was offered BBC's Around The World In

       >> Seven and the ragged Puma <<
       Erykah's comeback is sweet as honey

   Erykah Badu's star burned brightly back in 1997
   but after Baduism she probably became better
   known for her hip-hop star loves (Andre 3000,
   Common, The DOC) and the names of her
   children (Seven, Puma). Thankfully, it's
   all about the music again now. Her comeback
   single, Honey, and video are fabulous.

One of the saddest details in the court papers
detailing Britney's hospitalisation: just before it

       >> Lez not Led <<
       The perils of being down with da kidz

   Yesterday on The Telegraph website:

   10.01AM
   “Led Zeppelin to play Bonnaroo festival in US.
   The newly reunited Led Zeppelin are to follow-
   up their hugely successful comeback concert in
   London with a performance at a festival in
   the United States.”

   03.18PM
   “Lez, not Led, Zepellin to play Bonaroo in US.”

   (Lez Zepellin are an all-female lesbian
   tribute band)

Is this the best titled porn movie in the world?
“Cumfart Tsunami”. (A hit in the world of anal
felching, apparently.)

       Lembit: role model for Sarkozy

   "I haven't seen a single report in my whole
   life which indicates that if a politician has
   a famous and attractive girlfriend that
   deteriorates from that politician's ability to do
   their job. Maybe it actually makes them better
   and more inspirational in terms of the
   general public." - Lembit Opik
