The Police Academy movies were from a simpler time - a time when a man could make a noise like a toaster with his mouth and people thought it was good. Of course, times have moved on since then - but nobody tell Steve Guttenberg. Guttenberg has decided that he's ready to make Police Academy 8, even though that would obviously be the worst idea that any human has ever had. Oh, and also Steve Guttenberg...
I remember the Baader-Meinhof trial. I do. I was only five but I remember it being on the ITN news (you know the one with the jaunty jingle that was on after Blue Peter gave up the ghost on the BBC). I remember it because I also remember a wet Sunday afternoon watching Reach For [...]
I do shudder whenever a new comedy sketch show comes to town. Fast Show, fair enough (it set the template), Big Train fair enough (it had Simon Pegg and Kevin Eldon in it and was written in part by the peerless Arthur Mathews) and Smack The Pony was ok too. But Tittybangbang? Touch Me, I'm Karen Taylor? No thanks. By their very nature they're hit-and-miss, and the only recent effort I reasonably enjoyed...
What series Spooks is as the moment. All highly implausible stuff, but massively gripping and finally getting everything right. In fact, so right I really do think it now rivals the kind of American counterparts that are always lauded as slick, fast-paced and taut. Spooks has really hit its straps this series. But one thing was bothering me from last night's penultimate episode - what was that weird...
Remember when that male prostitute said Boy George chained him to a wall, hit him and threatened to kill him? Well, turns out it's true. Partially - Boy George has admitted that he did handcuff Audun Carlsen up, and that he did hit him a bit, but only consensually. But Boy George swears that he wasn't going to kill him, because a dead manwhore wouldn't be great for his career. Remember, Boy George...
A while back, this really cool person I know asked me if I wanted to interview some pop-stars for a TV show. I thought she was joking until it emerged that she actually...
I watched the penultimate episode of Spooks on BBC Three last week so I had a bit of hole to fill last night at nine-o'clock. I could have watched I'm A Celebrity (which I have been doing recently, and heartily enjoying), but I decided to go for some meaty history instead. Laurence Rees has done some ace series in the past (Auschwitz immediately springs to mind), so I was looking forward to seeing...
I have, as the old saying goes, some good news and some bad news. The good news is that Hustle is set to return to our screens in January for a fifth series, despite rumours earlier in the year that it had been axed. The even better news is that Adrian Lester will rejoin the team, reprising his role as Mickey "Bricks" Stone, having spent a year in Australia trying to sell the Sydney Opera House. But...
I had a good feeling about Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll: The 60s Revealed (Five, Monday, 1 December, 9pm) when I previewed it... but there was still that niggling feeling of... well... watching something on Five never really fills you with confidence does it? However, as nostalgia shows go, this was really rather upmarket. A lazy channel...
It's time... Has it really been a year? I, for one, have been enjoying myself far too much to notice a whole twelve months passing before my eyes, I don't know about you. This year's ton of tunes was hell of difficult to whittle down. In fact, I think I could have easily stretched it to 200. Maybe next year. Anyway, 2008 has been characterised by a lot of cracking one-off singles, great songs from...
(#469, 15th November 1980) Horns pitched to sound like strings; strings played low and swinging like horns; a pot-pourri of roughly Caribbean percussion – instrumentally, “The Tide Is High” is delightful escapism. Even so it’s a little bit of a let-down. Debbie Harry gives a gentle, intimate performance, but gentle intimacy isn’t really what you [...]
Tom Jones and the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams have both been nominated for the coveted Beard of the Year 2008 title. The annual prize is the idea of The Beard Liberation Front (BLF) – who call themselves an “informal network of beard wearers”. They say the award is designed to highlight those who have given beards a positive image in the public eye during the last year. Led Zeppelin vocalist...
Following her whirlwind promotional trip to Europe this past week, Pop superstar Britney Spears celebrated her birthday today (as well as the release of 'comeback' LP 'Circus)' on Good Morning America with two special performances. She also announced that she she will be touring on home soil with the Pussycat Dolls as special guests. Check out Britney's performances of 'Circus' and 'Womanizer'
Jennifer Hudson’s former brother-in-law has been arrested in connection with the murders of Jennifer’s mother, brother and nephew. The bodies of Darnell Donerson and Jason Hudson were found at the family home in Chicago on 24th October and the body of seven year old Julian King was found in an abandoned car the following Monday. [...]
Like so many of us, who grew up in the sixties and seventies, I listened to a lot of pop hit songs written by Laura Nyro, only I never realized it. Blood, Sweat and Tears, the Fifth Dimension, Barbra Streisand, the Three Dog Night and so many others recorded her tunes. Recently Riveting Riffs Magazine was asked to review the reissue of Laura Nyro's concert at Carnegie Hall in 1976 and it beautifully...
The 40-year-old actor takes his diet and workout plans seriously. He works out for an hour and a half every day to keep his body fit and likes to always improve his routine and keep it from getting boring. Hugh is aware of how much strength he needs during a workout, so he eats well. He eats six meals a day consisting of lean proteins and vegetables. His trainer, Steve Ramsbottom, personalized a workout
