Video of the week: Abbey Clancy Lip-Syncs at the Gym
Jun 5th
Abbey Clancy takes a break from whatever her job is (looking hot? Going to the Gym?) to look hot dancing around at the gym in this new advert. The model and girlfriend of Peter Crouch lip syncs to Britney Spears’ Baby One More Time for T Mobile. The vocals are from T-Mobile’s Trafalgar Square sing along proving that they sure know how to milk that advert for all it’s worth.
See the clip below.
Is This The Most Shameless Advert Ever?
May 26th
I yearn to go back to a time before I knew this advert existed. Somebody, somewhere decided that it would be a good idea to get Andi Peters, Melinda Messenger, Goldie, Johnny Vaughan, Lisa Snowden and some guy from Hollyoaks to mime along to a rap song about Chicken Wraps for Nandos.
This is apparently an ‘internal’ video for staff so maybe these celebrities thought that we would never know how desperate they are for money and exposure. Now that the video has found it’s way onto the internet their lack of shame will be noted for eternity. Watch the video below but remember what has been seen cannot be unseen…
Hmm, this post has had 240+ hits today with no referrer or from email addresses, would someone satisfy my curiosity and leave me a comment to let me know what this is all about? 
Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson sign up for Iron Man 2.
Mar 12th
Walking fashion disaster and reformed drug fiend Mickey Rourke has reportedly signed up to play a part in Iron Man 2. The star is due to play Whiplash who is based on the Crimson Dynamo from the original comic book. The Crimson Dynamo is an amour wearing Russian agent and not very subtle reference to Communism.
Rourke had originally turned down an offer of $250,000 to appear in the film as this would only just cover the cost of clothing his tiny dog. He has since been offered an amount more suited to his needs.
Emily Blunt was originally due to play the Black Widow AKA Natasha Romanoff in the film but had to leave the cast to to scheduling problems. Scarlett Johansson is now expected to play the part. This could be a big change for Johansson who normally seems to play a slightly self involved blonde tease.
Some have said that Olga Kurylenko would be better suited to the role of the Black Widow perhaps because she is from the Ukraine and bears more of a resemblance to the character.

The Top 5 Celebrity Blogs
Dec 11th
Everybody has a blog these days even celebrities. Some of them even write their own blogs! Here are my top 5 celebrity blogs.
1. Olivia Munn
Attack of the show host Olivia Munn knows her audience. Almost every post features a photo of her either doing something stupid or wearing a small amount of clothes.
Key quote: “I went last night and it was awesome, here are some photos…”
2. Kanye West
There has been some debate about whether Kanye actually writes his own blog. Some entries are clearly Kanye but most of the posts are an introduction to an Artist, Model, Product or even architect. It doesn’t really matter who writes it because there is always something interesting to see.
Key quote: “Commissioned by Dior Homme artistic director Kris Van Assche, the Dior Homme store in Paris was given a fresh new installation by Italian artist Andrea Mastrovito…”
3. Moby
Even if you aren’t a big fan of his music Moby’s blog is still an entertaining read.
Key quote: “somebody at some point should really teach me how to be a proper rock star, not some bald geek who goes to whole foods at 9:58 pm to buy soap and lion hats.”
4 Stephen Fry
You already know that Stephen Fry is funny, charming and clever but did you know that he is a tech head? His blog features his Guardian ‘Dork Talk’ columns as well as posts about anything else he thinks is interesting. It has a great design and there are Podcasts too.
Key quote: “I seem to use one iPhone exclusively for mad hacking, jailbreaking and frigging about with, another as a pedometer, another for music, another as a – guess what ? – phone.”
5 Kevin Smith
It’s arguable that Smith hasn’t released a good film since ‘Mallrats’ (I haven’t seen the new one yet) but that is irrelevant. His blog is funny and well written although you have to overlook the fact that it is only one post per page due to the massive amount of ads for his new movie.
Key quote: “Big month around here. Hope ya’ll can come out and support the flick. Then, come November 1st, if you see me with any junk food in my hand, you are entitled to kick me in the ass.”
