I've been quiet on LJ recently mainly because I've been lacking something interesting I feel motivated to write about (apart from the sad loss of the ever sexy Freddie). What can I say? *sigh*This time last year I was at least LJing about Big Brother but it just doesn't seem to have worked this year. I started to form a theory during Celebrity ( Read more... )

Kav didn't win the Danny role in Grease Is The Word

I hadn't realised that Ben Shepherd wouldn't be doing this series of Xtra Factor

From the BBC's Comic Relief the other week Catherine Tate & David Tennant but it's no Runaway Bridge this time...
