Rich, famous, bored? Why not get married again? Jennifer Lopez is 34 and she's on her third. I'm 36 and still wake up in a cold sweat from wedding nightmares—and I thought that was a Catholic thing. Her latest husband is on his second (the first was Miss Universe). You can get 3-1 that this […]

The Michael Jackson story somehow becomes even more surreal as one of his brothers implies that Jacko is being persecuted because he is black. In other news, Saddam Hussein’s lawyer claims he has been victimized because he is Jewish.

Rather upsetting the rest of the World’s view of US justice, a very famous, very rich American is convicted of several crimes. I bet Michael Jackson is thinking about OJ Simpson’s escape and Martha Stewart’s predicament and wishing he’d not “developed” that “skin condition”. I think we can see the way her appeal will pan […]

You have probably found it difficult to avoid some knowledge of the Paris Hilton affair, even if all you’ve heard about it is from spam offering you the “full, uncut version”. You only need a superficial idea of what she got up to with her boyfriend and a video camera to find this one of […]

Mel Gibson has some bad news for his wife.

The Sun promises us a Web chat with celebrity hypnotist Paul McKenna and invites us to send in our questions. Here’s mine: “Apparently you can give women orgasms by snapping your fingers and it’s safe to say you aren’t short of a bob or two, so why do you find it necessary to comb thin […]

One explanation for his facial metamorphosis was that Michael Jackson wanted to look like Liz Taylor. Simply Girly has figured out the truth.

This‘ll give the Windsors something to talk about over the turkey. (Thanks to Fark.)

Leasey emailed to make an observation about BBC typos. After noting in passing that BBC News used the word “denies” twice in a row with reference to Maxine Carr and the Soham murder case, she proposed her Typo Theory of Celebrity Doom: …the girl who plays Hermione went to the Lord of the Rings première […]

We hate moaning celebs at PooterGeek. Leasey listened to Her Royal Beyoncéness griping about the “pressures” of superstardom this morning on Radio 1. Here’s some text—if you can bear it.

Because of the hitches earlier I wasn’t able to post a magically unfortunate Michael Jackson headline. ITV have, er, pulled it, but the traces still remain in Google’s cache if you hurry. UPDATE: It’s now gone from ITV, but good old Channel 4, er, comes to the rescue.

As Leasey pointed out, in defiance of PooterGeek, Britney drags on.

Courtesy of Maoi, another man who dresses up for a living gives the United States advice on how to conduct itself in the World and earns more column inches than most full-time scholars of international relations, just like this guy whose drivellings Judith drew my attention to last week. (This latter article is offset nicely […]

Yesterday evening, as I drove through the rolled Cambridgeshire countryside, my local radio presenting duo promised me that they would be “talking with the legendary Dido”. Omigod, they have actually got an interview with the Queen of Carthage! Who next? Cleopatra? (Surely they couldn’t have meant the Queen of Bone-achingly Banal Bridget Jones Ballads, the […]

Vail Reese is a dermatologist in the San Francisco Bay Area. Despite being horribly designed, Skinema, his online collection of celebrity skin problems, has been a huge Web attraction for years. It was only recently (in the wake of the “vampire twins” controversy) that I stumbled upon Dermatrix, his special feature about the dermatological conditions […]

After this announcement by Sinead O’Connor, I myself have also made a personal decision to step out of the spotlight. Fame has been good to me, but from now on I’d just like to ask that people everywhere please respect my wish for privacy and stop reading my Weblog. Additionally, I request that they stop […]

A few weeks back we had the massed intellectual might of British popular music eloquently making the case for "peace" at the Brit Awards . By "peace", of course, they meant letting the fuzzie-wuzzies die quietly and slowly away from our TV screens, rather than conspicuously and in rather smaller numbers with someone from CNN […]

Don Johnson is innocent.
