Firstly…the title is somewhat misleading, Lola has been more of a hinderance than a help, earlier she walked all over my laptop keyboard thus rendering my first attempt at posting this blog unreadable. Still she’s asleep now, her number one favourite activity. I wish I was a cat, sleep and eat is all they do.
Still….
- Katie Holmes is gonna try her way at acting…again. It seems the world has forgotten that’s what she actually does, since she became ‘Mrs Tom Cruise’ and had baby Suri noones paid much attention to her actual ‘job.’ The former Dawson’s Creek starlet will be treading the boards on Broadway in the play ‘All My Sons.’ And if Katies performance is a success she could be hopping the pond and bringing the show to Ol’ London Town.
- Leona Lewis is the first British female artist to top the US charts in over twenty years. The X-Factor singer cracked America with her single ‘Bleeding Love.’ Nice going for a former receptionist from Hackney!
- If you thought Johnny Depp couldn’t get any more delightful, well he can! After hearing about a 17 year old fan who was in a coma following a severe car accident, Johnny sent the family a recorded message in the voice of Captain Jack Sparrow. Lo and behold Sophie Wilkinson started moving her right leg when she heard Depp’s voice. ….That only makes us love him more!
- Oh and Kate + Jamie update…apparantly a wedding date has been set for early September! Exciting.
- Tabloid newspaper The Sun has teemed up with Social Networking sites Facebook and MySpace to try and get Russell Brand to the number one in the singles chart. The notorious comedien recorded a variety of tracks for his latest film ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall,’ and now fans and the paper are campaigning for record labels to release the song, and give Brand the chance to reach the top spot. Personally I’d find that more funny than Basshunter…again.
- Finally radio 4 newsreaders do know how to have fun! Radio Journalist Charlotte Green recently got into trouble for giggling whilst reading out an obitury, however in a piece she wrote for the Gaurdian she revealed this wasn’t the first time! “It’s an open secret” that she has a silly sense of humour. “For me, it’s essential to laugh both at the absurdity of life and at oneself,” she wrote. “Inevitably, the laughter sometimes spills over into my work and I find myself poleaxed by merriment.” One particular example was when she had to read a report about an army major called Jack Tuat… pronounced “twat”. “I knew immediately that I was going to have trouble getting through the next story, which to compound the problem was about a sperm whale,” she says. “My voice rose and dropped like Dame Clara Butt on speed, the laughter broke free and the item about the stranded sperm whale came to a premature end. I was transported back to my 10-year-old self, ambushed by mirth because my best friend had farted, unexpectedly and explosively, during school prayers.”
That’s all for now, A + L XxX
