I am the tortoise" - Newt Gingrich "If you haven't cursed out a New York Times reporter during the course of the campaign, you're not really a real Republican" - Rick Santorum ----------------------------------------------- POPBITCH _ _ _ _ __ ___ _ __ | |__ (_) |_ ___| |__ | '_ \ / _ \| '_ \| '_ \| | __/ __| '_ \ | |_) | (_) | |_) | |_) | | || (__| | | | | .__/ \___/| .__/|_.__/|_|\__\___|_| |_| |_| |_| 29.03.12 ISSUE 588 Free every week: to subscribe/unsubscribe go to http://www.popbitch.com Send us stories - email: hello@popbitch.com * Frank Langella: family man * Squirrel vs Snake * Charts: Chris Brown is number one ------------------------------------------------ >> Wipeout << Nicole needs kitty litter While Lewis Hamilton didn't quite set the world alight as he'd hoped in the Malaysian Grand Prix, his girlfriend was running into trouble behind the scenes too. Another VIP guest who happened to be in the toilets at the same time as Nicole Scherzinger says that Nicole was so busy lining the seat with loo roll that she forgot to keep any paper back for the necessary moment - a fact she announced very loudly when the time came. Lewis's mum was despatched to secure additional paper. Disaster was averted. ------------------------------------------------ He might have messed up in Malaysia, but it's hard not to like Jenson Button. He said he celebrated his Australia GP win by spending the morning swimming with penguins. ------------------------------------------------ >> Trial by media << May the courts be with you May 8th is a big day in the calendar for many reasons. It's Gary Glitter's birthday. It was the day in 1999 that Livin' La Vida Loca got to number one in the US. And of course, it's V-E day, commemorating the end of the second world war in Europe. But this year it's got added significance for staff at News International. It's the day that they're expecting charges to be made relating to Operation Weeting, the police investigation into phone hacking at NOTW. There are currently 19 people on bail in this investigation, plus a hell of a lot of ex-employees keeping an anxious eye on the calendar in the hope they get to May without a visit from Plod. But though there may only be six weeks until then, trials aren't expected to take place until 2014. ------------------------------------------------ Jane Fonda is likely to play Nancy Reagan in Precious director Lee Daniels' next film. ------------------------------------------------ >> Big Questions << What people are asking this week Which TV superstar shagged his brother's wife purely to get back at him for a perceived slight? The awkwardness in their relationship occasionally rears its head, but now someone is trying to shop the story to the press. ------------------------------------------------ Jeremy Kyle owns two pairs of Ugg boots. ------------------------------------------------ >> Funny uncle << Frank keeps it in the family Frost/Nixon star Frank Langella has just brought out a memoir in which he details his relationships with older Hollywood stars like Rita Hayworth, Elizabeth Taylor and Bette Davis. It has lead to him being described as the bitchiest man in Hollywood. He waited until they all died to dish the dirt on them. We're not so patient. Langella was recently filming in LA. When he turned up at the house rented for him by the movie company he had an unexpected housemate with him, a cute looking young man, who he introduced as 'his nephew'. Well, what else would we expect from a paramour of Liz Taylor and Bette Davis? ------------------------------------------------ The Daily Mail never reviewed James Bond novels because Ian Fleming had an affair with the wife of the owner, the second Viscount Rothermere. ------------------------------------------------ >> Popbits << Here comes summer First contender for summer anthem 2012 is Jagwar Ma's Come Save Me. Jagwar Ma is the new solo project of Australian producer Jono Ma, previously in indie favourites The Lost Valentinos and a knob-twiddler for The Foals. It's a bit Beatles. A bit Charlatans. A bit trip-hop. It's been signed in the UK by two A&Rs from XL, and a host of UK DJs and producers are lining up to remix it.

Stick it in your diary now. More details to follow after Easter... *********************************************** >> Badger v Baboon << What the football manager thinks Wallop_bosch writes: "I've made it my mission to ask the entire Millwall squad this most important of all questions... I previously asked Paul Robinson, Millwall captain. He said 'Definitely baboon'. Now I've asked manager Kenny Jackett." About 2'50" in: http://bit.ly/H1o3Fw FYI: Here's a new one - Squirrel v Snake http://bit.ly/GZ4zVf ------------------------------------------------ John Parr spotted in the Doncaster Sainsbury's. He forgot his PIN twice and was advised not to try a third time. ------------------------------------------------ >> Masters of ceremony << Top chefs know how to party The winner and two runners-up of MasterChef 2012 celebrated the results in the unlikely setting of Giraffe, Soho. After dancing around, almost knocking people over, one of them passed out and they all left without tipping. They might be able to cook, but it seems like they still need to learn how to behave in restaurants. ------------------------------------------------ Katy B likes watching snooker on TV. ------------------------------------------------ >> Celebrity seduction << More moves from rock stars Ms A writes: "Many moons ago when he was a student at Kingston Uni I had the unfortunate experience of ending up at Richard Archer of Hard Fi's student digs. His route to seduction involved telling me at length how people tell him he resembles Ian Astbury of the Cult. It got worse when he put on a Cult record and mimed along to it including hand pointing, hip swaying and shaking a tambourine he conveniently had to hand. Despite this I still got busy with him." ------------------------------------------------ Mini-Sting, Coco Sumner, has given up trying to become a pop star in London, and has moved to Brooklyn to have a go in the States. ------------------------------------------------ >> PR guff << Pointless stunts leave bad smell What is it with deodorant companies and rubbish PR stunts? First off we got word from Lynx that they were sponsoring the panda mating season at Edinburgh Zoo, and have even installed a camera in their enclosure - presumably to encourage you to watch pandas humping. But we think they've been beaten by Sure, who were so desperate to shoehorn their brand into the press attention around Kate Middleton's debut speech that they sent out a press release claiming they'd sent some cans of deodorant to Kate's office. ------------------------------------------------ Popbitch's favourite sommelier... Kimpton Hotel Group's Emily Wines! ------------------------------------------------ >> Things that make you go hmm << Disco, Madonna, Lego Jet split. Remember Pitchfork's finest moment? http://bit.ly/GXCHw8 Lego taxidermy: http://bit.ly/GBoOGm Nice piece by Nick Cohen on Twitter/jail/free speech: http://bit.ly/H0YFf3 The Northern Ireland 1981 Disco Dance final: http://bit.ly/GYhTZG Interesting take on Madonna by Flavorpill: http://bit.ly/GZ55lc Just when you thought you'd seen it all on YouTube: http://bit.ly/HoukLi The New Yorker tackles the Daily Mail: http://nyr.kr/GZ8mAX 17?
