Ob-La-Diddy, Ob-La-Da
If only all celebs were like this. Paul McCartney attended a Super Bowl party at the weekend thrown by P Diddy.
Macca was approached by a total stranger who offered him a joint. He just smiled and accepted it.
Forget Nando’s black card; Jedward have a special gold card for Irish kebab chain Abrakebabra. They order everything on the menu, even though they don’t eat meat.

Paxo and the Q&A
On Newsnight and University Challenge, Jeremy Paxman is known for asking some very difficult questions. Yet when he appeared before the British press to launch his new series, Britain’s Great War, the combined ranks of TV Quick, Media Guardian and radiotimes.com (in the less-than-hostile environment of the Charlotte St Hotel) seemed a little too much for him.
Instead of taking questions from the floor, as is customary at these things, there was a 20 minute soft-soap Q&A session hosted by Stephen Armstrong, described to us as “the go-to man for gentle TV puff-pieces”.
Behind the scenes it was suggested that it was arranged like this because Paxman didn’t want to get caught out, like he did at the Cheltenham Literature Festival. There he was asked what happened to WW1 army chief, Lord Kitchener. Despite having written a book to accompany his TV series, poor Paxo didn’t know.
If you (like us – and Paxman) didn’t know, Kitchener drowned in 1916 when his ship was hit by a German mine.

Who wants to know what?
Which US star’s rehab isn’t nearly as simplistic as it’s been made out? The young (but past it) star has been so worried that her career is over she’s been getting stuck into some quite choice extra-curricular activities. She is so desperate to succeed, but the despair is putting off employers, which just means the cycle she’s stuck in goes on.
Former Vapours bandmember, Ed Bazalgette (yes he is a relation somewhere along the line) is now a successful TV director.
>> Yew again? <<
Same as it ever was
Continuing the illustrious work of weekend paedo-huntin’ that its predecessor, the News Of The World, is now no longer able to do, the Sun on Sunday’s front page was shouting that it had a massive exclusive story this week – a “beloved pop star” accused of abusing a 10 year-old boy.
Except it’s not really much of an exclusive at all. The Daily Star ran the story 13 months ago, when it actually seemed to be news. Since then the police haven’t done any of the things they claimed they were going to do about it. In fact, all they’ve done is busily tout around the same old story, trying to get the tabloids to help out with a fishing expedition.

Humble pie in the sky
Kate Humble seems lovely on the telly, doesn’t she? But we hear you’d be wise not to cross her, as she is a master of passive-aggression.
Someone who was working with Kate began to notice a certain frostiness in her attitude towards him. He still can’t remember exactly what he might have done, but he got the sneaking suspicion that he had somehow pissed her off.
His suspicions were confirmed when, on a domestic flight in Africa, Kate had her entire crew upgraded to First Class. Everyone, that is, except for him – who was forced to sit alone in economy, presumably to think about what he had done.

The Metal edition
Wondered what Haddaway’s up to? Sneaky liking for What Is Love? Enjoy German death metal?
Boy, are you in luck! Metallers Emergency Gate have got together with Haddaway. AND they’re going to be playing European festivals this summer. This is What Is Love as it was meant to sound. Probably.

Ed’s second career
With Lord Rennard and Nick Clegg drawing a lot of attention to the Lib Dems, and the current tube strike making tory Boris rather unpopular, the Labour party has had it pretty easy this last week.
Easy enough that Ed Miliband has had the time to open up a kebab shop in Mumbai though? Because it certainly seems like it…

Crywanking in Colorado
Pornhub is one of the biggest free porn sites on the internet. But what happens when American men have other things on their minds, such as the Superbowl?
Well, in Denver and Seattle (the home towns of the teams involved) there was a massive drop off of usage – more than 50%.
In Seattle, this drop continued long after the game. In Denver? It shot right back up – way above and beyond the average.
So, what they say is true: If your team loses, you really are a wanker.
