Paloma Faith
jacksonb I love Paloma too, but I have to say her latest single is a bit squawky and more than nods to Americanisation of the music video genre. Which needless to say, I don't like, because I think she is better than that. [ more ]

Twitter and the stuff you get retweeted
MrsB I love twitter..it is just so random! I have had messages from several 'celebs' including Sexy Rex Newmark (that is one DM I will never delete!!!). The other one that made me wibble was from Niklas Edin, the incredibly scrummy skip from the Swedish Curling team!! I suspect that one will also stay in my DM box forever!

Care.data?
Former Member Bu what i could gather on the radio Sunday night, it's back to the government cos ultimately they are the ones who are sposed to be in charge of your records. They did mention the Dept responsible but I forget (me age you you know) So with that in mind I think it's a Data protection thing and surely they shouldn't be allowed to go through a third pary anyway to sell to insurance companies, and then again....aren't we all supposed to be truthful anyway?

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Originally Posted by Cold Sweat: A less lucrative contract than the one Jennifer Aniston had on Friends more than a decade ago. Yes, massive salaries/contracts have been common in Tinseltown for many, many years. It staggers me when I hear actors can demand £20M, £30M or more for a film. In recent years TV seems to have developed a higher stays in the US and what actors earn has gone hand in hand with this. Edit: Yes I also think these massive payoffs for actors are obscene.
