The other night I was drawn to the television, where Posh Spice’s one-hour TV special ‘Coming to America’ was airing. The show has been critically savaged by most media, but I learned a few things.

Harry Potter’s so hot right now. He’s the focus of many water-cooler chats this month, ranking just below Ms Hilton and the iPhone. He has a new movie out and his seventh book is about to hit the shelves.
I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix yesterday and have reviewed it […]

I’ve heard of frivolous purchases, but…
You may have clicked on this ‘top story’ on Digg about the weirdest item to find itself on Amazon.com. I think it looks quite stylish, actually. I was thinking of trading in my Honda and this sexy Badonkadonk Land Cruiser’s a steal at $20K.

Tonight I went to see Ricky Gervais live (not dead) at Madison Square. I was so excited. I’m a huge fan of the painfully funny Office, UK version, and Extras, and I’d seen excerpts of his stand-up shows on YouTube and they were brilliant.
Anyway, the show was due to start at 8pm, but at 8pm […]
