"I didn't really enjoy it very much... I'm afraid I don't get it. I found it very lightweight, very annoying and quite depressing at times. I'd rather read a history book."
2. Sad to report that Cane got cancelled. A shame because it's really been growing on me, but never mind. Shark got cancelled too. I'm actually surprised it survived this long. A grown man with a mock-up courtroom in his own house? Come on now... Some other shows I've never heard of got cancelled too, which means that CBS's sole surviving new show of the past year is The Big Bang Theory! Altogether now... "the whole universe was in a hot, dense state...!"
3. There's a Point Break sequel on the way. No Patrick Swayze though, obviously.
4. The heavenly Danielle Lloyd playing in a park. Cute.
5. From the Guardian yesterday (apologies for the poor scan)...
"Where no man has gone before: Lord Phillips models the new robe, similar to Capt Picard's (Patrick Stewart) in Star Trek"
This is a story about how judges and England and Wales will be getting a new look from October. Now forgive me, but I must admit I'm not seeing much by way of similarity between the new legal robe and Picard's outfit. The outfits look about as similar as Trevor McDonald and Jon Snow. Lord Phillips doesn't even have a communicator, dammit!
6. Also in yesterday's Guardian, a story about Gordon Brown beginning his fightback (again). Apparently Hazel Blears was due to give a speech in which she floats the idea of the cabinet meeting outside London, in town halls and community centres around the country. She's quoted as saying:
"Just imagine if the cabinet meeting took place at the British Legion, Swindon, the town hall, Grimsby, or the Victoria community centre in Crewe. There is no good reason why not."
Complete nonsense. Aside from the environmental and security considerations of shipping the entire cabinet around the country, there's nothing to suggest the exercise would result in any better decision making, particularly when anything important is decided by Gordon Brown and those around him, not the cabinet. If simply having them meet somewhere else could improve governance, then why not send the cabinet to a tropical island in the Pacific or a luxury hotel in the Caribbean? Who wouldn't feel reinvigorated after that change of scenery? Sorry, but having to haul ass up to Grimsby on a wet Wednesday in November is hardly conducive to good policy-making.
7. Scott Glenn has been cast as Donald Rumsfeld in Oliver Stone's George W. Bush biopic, W.
8. Good news for Missy Peregrym fans, Reaper got renewed. I'm a fan of Missy, but not of Reaper, which is too monster-of-the-week for my liking.
9. Davina McCall has confirmed she's not leaving Big Brother after the next run, which begins on 5th June. Channel 4 have also confirmed that Celebrity Big Brother will be back next year.
10. The world's hottest woman, Leslie Bibb, has signed to star in comedy A Good Old Fashioned Orgy.
