Kylie and Dannii Menage

As it’s party conference season, no doubt lots of you are reading this week to see which MP has been waggling their knob around in the bogs. Most of the properly extravagant stuff usually happens at the Tory conference, which is next week – but we didn’t want you to go without any icky dick tales in the meantime. So here’s a different one.

According to someone who has had relatively extensive exposure to it, Piers Morgan has got more in common with his big buddy Donald Trump than most of us realise.

If Stormy Daniels’ description of Trump’s toadstool is accurate, then there’s really not mush room between the two of them at all.

They say you never get a second chance at a first impression, which is presumably why “Dr” Neil Fox has taken such care to craft a real zinger.

Once, when presented with a stranger that he wanted to impress, Foxy held out his hand to shake, telling them it was the hand of the only man to have shagged “both Kylie AND Dannii Minogue”.

Heard a worse introduction from a celeb? hello@popbitch.com

It’s caused a hell of a lot of turbulence in the news cycle, but there hasn’t been a satisfactory conclusion to any of the Stormy Daniels stories yet.

Except for one. Remember the journalist who set up an interview with her for Rolling Stone earlier in the year? Since Stormy separated from her partner, the two of them have apparently started banging.

“Years ago, I was involved in making a documentary about Russian history where Brian Cox came in to do the voiceover. Sadly, Cox turned out to be a moody old git. Most annoying was his habit of checking every line with his daughter who he’d brought along to watch (she was doing Russian at A Level). Based on her advice, he insisted on changing half the script that had been months in the making, often to the detriment of the film. Things got so testy that the dubbing mixer had to step in before Cox and a member of the production came to blows.

“Many years later, I was at a party and got chatting to someone who loved the series Deadwood as much as I did. I told her that my one caveat about the series was its inclusion of Brian Cox, who I couldn’t stand after he’d turned up at a VO recording with his daughter. I told her I thought Cox was basically “a cunt” and explained why.

“She smiled at me, and asked if I was joking – because she was his daughter and she remembered that day very fondly.”

They’ve both hit the big time now, so this sort of sight isn’t likely to faze either of them any more but, back when they were buddies starting out, Steve Coogan once brought Zoë Ball up to his hotel room for a drink.

He opened the door, whereupon Zoë clocked a load of £20 notes scattered all over his bed. Zoë asked him “What’s all that?”

“That…” Steve replied, in exactly the way you’re imagining “…is £2,000.”

Strictly’s Kate Silverton is known to certain friends and acquaintances as ‘Freya’, but where did she get that nickname?

Freya Media Limited used to be the title of Kate’s own media company, which was supposedly named for the Norse goddess of love, sex and attraction. So whoever first thought to call her ‘Freya’ as a personal nickname must have had an extremely high opinion of her.

And who was that person? Why, none other than… Kate Silverton!

FYI: Silverton’s media company changed its name in 2011. It’s now Pangolin Media Limited. Cute.

55 years into their career, the Rolling Stones are on course to be the highest-earning touring rock band in 2018. How do they manage it?

The Stones’ touring company set up a meeting with their support bands’ management to decide how to best cut overheads. The meeting was so detailed that even the decision to remove premium biscuits from the bands’ riders was discussed (and actioned).

Mick Jagger seems to take this sort of cost-cutting very seriously as he attended the meeting in person. In fact, he flew in by private jet to do so.

It’s always been Britpop canon that Oasis were the ones who’d spill your pint and start a brawl in a bar, while Blur were just a bunch of southern art-school softies – but maybe that’s not the case.

Someone who got chatting to Gorillaz’ Jamie Hewlitt at a bar one night got a taste of Damon Albarn’s dark side.

Albarn came over to collect Jamie, telling him it was time to go. When Jamie tried to introduce Albarn to the guy he’d been talking to, instead of saying a word, Albarn turned to him and picked up the guy’s full pint of Guinness. He downed most of it in one, before slamming the dregs down on the bar, turning back to Jamie and saying, “Come on. Let’s go.”
