I know there are far more worthy contenders, but I would really love to see Top Gun: Maverick take Best Film. It pretty much single-handedly saved cinemas after all the lockdowns and it's probably the best sequel ever made.

Today I learned that Noel Edmonds and his wife have moved to Nelson, NZ, where he's bought a few properties - one of which is an accommodation provider (luxury lodge).

I knew they moved to Matakana, NZ, some years back ... this was their house:

View attachment 2038151

... but apparently he decided to move to Nelson as the energy is better.

Being into woo-woo stuff myself I don't mind him, and thought his observation that Nelson has better energy, was interesting.

He and his wife bought coffee from my cart a year or so ago - I didn't recognise him until much later, when I saw a write-up in the local paper about him being in my town for something. All I can remember about them is they were friendly, and when I asked if they'd come in off the visiting cruise ship, they politely shook their heads.
I called into the swap shop one Saturday morning and got through, I was about 8?
Wanted to swap a piece of hairy plasticine for a red chopper bike, I'd assumed because I'd got through it was a done deal..
Unsurprisingly, I didn't get the swap, just a signed annual for my cheek🙈🤣

I've gone off Noel ever since🥺🥺🥺

True story🤣🤣🤣

someone did a comparison between gwyneth (wellness “guru”, inhales bone broth instead of eating) and other famous women of a similar age (who eat, drink, enjoy themselves) - and the difference was stark. gwyneth looks exactly how i would expect someone in willingly inhales broth as a meal to look 🤣
Haha, like that comparison between Gillian McKeith and Nigella. Nigella looks like a goddess and Gillian looks exactly like someone who has had their nose in other people's shit for years.

Being honest I am getting seriously fed up of the weeping over his "bravery", yeah he was groped and that should never have happened but these are the same people that gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation, they can all get in the bin.

Getting your arse groped is just a standard day for women but Fraser will weep his way to an Oscar for it. Yes I am aware I sound like a cunt and I am fine with that.
I mean,
I’m not going to try and reason with you and to an extent I agree that many women will have experienced groping and worse, but Brendan Fraser is 100% entitled to be traumatised by that assault.
Everyone reacts differently to trauma and the effects can last a lifetime.
My best friend and I experienced the same life changing event 4 years ago - she is OK, and manages fine. I have PTSD with a prognosis of around 10yrs and have so many triggers now that I can barely turn my television on.

I’m not looking for sympathy or anything; I just wanted to acknowledge that everyone is different.

Can someone tell me why the fuck Michael Caine's birthday celebrations included Tom Cruise, David Walliams and Denise fucking Welch?!
Did they think she was a drag act?

A verbal argument ensued and Chris Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.

Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.

Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I'm going to beat the shit out of you when we get home! You wait and see!'

The detective said Robyn F. then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.

Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I'm on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.'

After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!'

Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.

Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.

Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.

Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.

Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.

She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown's body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.

Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order
Whilst I knew it was bad, the prolonged nature of that attack is absolutely horrendous. Why the fuck was he not cancelled? He really is a walking, talking, woman-hating POS.

I’m sorry, but those pictures of Gwynnie in the court room just look to me like a very privileged, entitled woman who would zoom recklessly down ski slopes screaming ‘OUT OF MY WAY, PEASANTS!’ at anyone who got in her way.

Ha - I was stuck behind a car recently that had a pair of these hanging off the bumper, flapping in the wind. Overtook it & it was being driven by a nice old couple. Weird.
My almost 83 year old dad, who cycles every day and doesn’t look like a scrotum, has a pair that hang from the back of his saddle and light up! My niece bought them for him and he wears them with much pride. Is also known to say loudly “my bollocks are a bit muddy, I must take them off and wash them!”

I really tried to stay away from what happened at the time because I was huge Rihanna fan and also felt it could trigger some stuff that was going on personally at the time. Without being super crass can anyone link me?

Argh, wish I hadn't looked at the Oscar winner list - The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse won best animated whatever so I'm now going to have to put up with another year or so of people wanging on about how heartwarming and profound it is, when really it's a pile of vomitous saccharine old arse.

When I had my babies it was fucking Myleene Klass. She even brought a book out called How To Be A Good Mum or something like that. She had a deal going on with Mothercare so I had to stop going in there because of the 25 foot posters of her smug face.
That range had an absolute show stopper of a pram. It was black with rose gold trim and had a set of angel wings on it. Not a picture of wings, actual detachable wings.

The only programme I like Davinia on is Long Lost Families. She doesn’t gurn at all in that one, or shriek. Just quiet empathy. She is ridiculously OTT on Masked Singer.

I really like her boyfriend, although he seems like her child. But that is sizeist of me, he is a lot slighter and shorter than her. He has brought a cracking hairdryer out. I used to hate drying my hair, it is nearly a pleasure with it.

Also, DM has monetised the Menopause. Jumped on a bandwagon big time.Like she invented it.
