We know someone who might agree. In issue 324, 2006, we recounted the story of a man who was sold a second-hand computer which had David Beckham's security plans on it. He handed it to The Sun, they ran it as a cover story, but he never got paid the 20K he was promised. He told us this week that - with Leveson putting the paper's practices in the news - he'd been in touch with them again. "At the time I had several heated discussions with Tom Crone over the phone in which he told me I was a pain in the arse and offered me 14 grand, stating that he knew I wouldn't have the resources to take them to court... I didn't accept. "This time I was told by a nice woman on the phone to email my complaint, but none of my emails have been answered. Tom Crone was a right c**t but at least he didn't just ignore me. "Anyway I just thought you'd like to see what a contract from a newspaper looks like after it's been in the attic for 8 years." http://bit.ly/MCCLC7 ------------------------------------------------ Alex James was on Tresco island with his family last week. We're told his kids have mop tops and look like "mini Jarvis Cockers". ------------------------------------------------ >> Girls alone << They've all gone solo Girls Aloud are recording new material! Does this mean there's finally a rapprochement between Cheryl and Nadine? Who knows? Each girl is recording their bit at Xenomania studios separately. ------------------------------------------------ Handshake Update - a reader claims that Nick Rhodes' has an incredibly strong and powerful handshake. (With rougher skin than you might expect.) ------------------------------------------------ >> Big Questions << What people are asking this week Which Sunday hack, who when threatened with the sack for a shocking misdemeanour by his then-editor, calmly replied that he'd expose the paper's top mobile phone hacker and got to keep his job? And while his career has taken an upward turn the editor hasn't been so lucky. Which of the England WAGs in Krakow was described disapprovingly by her equally charmless in-laws as "only interested in his money"? ------------------------------------------------ Sir Viv Richards has a golf handicap of four. ------------------------------------------------ >> Didn't he do well << An almighty effort from Bruce Passengers on the flight that Bruce Forsyth took from Monaco to London recently tell us that he's as chivalrous as you'd expect a knight of the realm to be. He ensured that his wife was fully comfortable in her seat before he sat down himself and at baggage reclaim in Heathrow he handled all the luggage for the pair of them on his own. He was also extremely polite when asking people to move. A surprising piece of news, however, is that when Brucey saw that the only newspaper available was the Daily Mail he got rather sniffy, describing it as "the worst paper in the UK." FYI: Also spotted in Monaco: Lance Armstrong, when he could still train for triathlons He was said to be "great at cycling, good at swimming but very bad style at running". ------------------------------------------------ A schoolfriend of Banksy claims he was a big fan of Erasure and T'Pau. His first gig was seeing Erasure in Shepton Mallet. We don't know if he ever got to see La Decker. ------------------------------------------------ ********************************************** Cars, iconic landmarks, famous sport stars... Mini takes to the London streets in homage to 1969 classic, The Italian Job. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuQZtqNNrZU ********************************************** >> Pony 2012 << Popbitch Racing Club shock! Like Marr, and Clarkson, we decided to retire our Superinjunction. Like theirs, ours initially looked useful but ended up expensive, a little embarrassing and a source of amusement for others. So meet the new PBRC horse, George Baker. http://bit.ly/NAqLGE We'll bring you news of George's PBRC debut, but don't forget next week is Royal Ascot. Here are our tips: 1. Go Tuesday not Ladies Day. Smaller crowds plus Frankel = winner. 2. Get the train down early morning - you might even get a seat. 3. Wear flat shoes. 4. The main bar in the Grandstand does great cold bags with the booze and antipasti platters. Stock up and sit on the lawn, avoiding the scrum behind. 5. You should be able to get Amanda Holden or Sinitta with a catapult from this vantage point. 6. Leave before the last race to get the train out. Want to join in the PBRC fun and games?

I was getting off the tube at Tottenham Court Road and was heading to the escalator. A largish figure barrelled out of a side exit, and we were neck-and-neck to be first on. "Being nice, I said: 'After you.' "A familiar voice said: 'No, no, after you.' So I got on the escalator first. "The nice gentleman who let me go first? James Corden. Who would have thought he wasn't always a c**t?" ------------------------------------------------ Vintage Nominative Determinism - the expert sent by the Lord Chamberlain's office to police the nude revue at the Windmill Theatre, Soho, in the 1930s was called George Titman. ------------------------------------------------ >> Ad nausea << Worst ads of the Euros so far? Adidas were a strong contender for worst patron of Euro 2012 with their "Adidas is all in" billboards - a campaign which promotes their brilliant insight that when you love your game, whatever it may be, you put your all into it. But McDonalds win out with the baffling passion-meter.com. We would tell you what it is but after viewing the website and looking at the app we still don't know. http://bit.ly/Kw08D3 Not only that, McDonalds are claiming to be "Proud sponsor of official England player escorts." In Ukraine... escorts? Seen any other contenders? Email hello@popbitch.com ------------------------------------------------ The median family in America suffered a 39% fall in wealth between 2007 and 2010. ------------------------------------------------ >> Old-school trip << Talking heads - Studio 54 style On a recent BBC programme about the 70s disco scene there were a number of talking head pieces from Trinny and Susannah. Trinny talked about going to Studio 54 and seeing "drug taking on the dancefloor and sex in the loos". Trinny was born in 1964 and Studio 54 closed 4 Feb 1980, four days before her 16th birthday. She was in boarding school in Germany at this time. ------------------------------------------------ Nick Cave Watch: our hero on a train (standard class) "yawning a lot, slightly the worse for wear and his lady friend was showing him things on his smart phone. Then they both fell asleep." ------------------------------------------------ >> Pharoah 'nuff << Bangles benefit from Belle boo-boo The Bangles made Walk Like An Egyptian into a massive hit. Would it have been the same if the band it was first offered to had recorded it... ...the Belle Stars! FYI: Kim Rew, who penned The Bangles first hit, Going Down To Liverpool then went on to write UK's last Eurovision winner Love Shine A Light. ------------------------------------------------ #Chargergate Update! @richardpbacon says: "Dear the runners in Soho edit suite, Prime Focus, I'm sorry for nicking your iPhone charger." ------------------------------------------------ >> Gleeming << Jan's scrubbed up nicely Agnetha writes: "Who needs Leveson with news like this: I can exclusively reveal that Jan Leeming has cleaned her car. Her alloys, bonnet and rear end are now positively gleaming." FYI: A reader tells us that Jan Leeming said hello to their dog last Tuesday.
