Dutch Queen's Speech!

HM Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands Christmas Message 2007

HM Queen Elizabeth II first TELEVISED Christmas Broadcast 1957

Have a look at this and see whether you agree that the values she urges we should hang on to are more desperately to be hung on to than ever before... because I think she had her finger right on the pulse...

As you watch, remember this went out LIVE. And I think despite what some critics have said, she's a pretty good orator.

Ronnie Barker Obituary

Ronnie Barker (Star of Porridge and one half of the Two Ronnies) was my favourite comedian of all...

This was taken from Sky News 3 Oct 2005... Note the appearance of Christopher Biggins 2007 I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here Queen of the Jungle ...

Katherine Jenkins, Hayley Westenra sing Ave Maria on Celebrity Ready Steady Cook ...

These are the two best female classical voices of the coming generation.

Katherine Jenkins's mezzo-soprano tones are amazingly smooth; she's one of the finest classical singers I've ever heard and Hayley Westenra's soprano has blazing fire - a vocal diamond.

Dynasty - Joan Collins in Fur

Surely Dynasty was the slowest moving, most incomprehensible soap of all time. Can YOU remember a single plotline? Well then!!

The ONLY good things about it were the interiors (let's face it, the Ewings were meant to be billionaires yet lived like virtual peasants. At least the Carringtons/Colbys didn't) ... and, of course, Britain's best:~ JOAN COLLINS!!

Those were the days!

And just to add insult to injury, this clip has zero sound!

Madonna Bootleg Vid

Madonna singing Causin' A Commotion etc

I'm putting this in with "celebrity" rather than "music" as the quality's so low, only hardcore fans will be interested in this one

especially as it shows off what a truly "talented" singer she actually is ...

Her Majesty The Queen's Supposed "Tantrum" at American Photographer Annie Liebowitz...

Here's last night's BBC News report of the same.

Madonna Erotica

Am I alone in finding this video rather creepy and the overall tone not only sinister but pretty depraved..?

Her message to "her public" seems to be I am sophisticated but you lot aren't so I'm going to teach you about something you know very little, if anything, about. When actually we all do know about S&M and know we don't like it!

Some of the shots make her look really good. But the overall shadowiness I find quite spooky. Not "erotic" at all.

And the words of her song "erotic, erotic ~ put your hands all over my body" ~ basically a very teenage expression of sentiments clash with the rest of her purportedly sophisicated song... "I don't think you know what pain is; I don't think you've gone that way" ... etc.

I'd be intrigued to hear anybody else's critique of this vid.




I put this here rather than in my musical collection as the musical interest to this is minimal. It's with this video that Madonna's career took a nosedive in the early 1990s. She seems to be sneering at her public: if you're not into all this you're bourgeois and boring. Actually the three fingers were pointing right back because we'd all got bored of her!

Madonna Letterman 1994 Scandalous Interview

Here's the famous/infamous David Letterman interview from the early 90s.

I've always thought of Madonna as pretty much nondrinking, nonsubstance-abusing kinda gal. Suddenly it hit me rewatching this today: she is drunk. Listen to her voice. The normal Madonna has a pretty thin almost nasal tone; this voice, however, is relaxed and projecting, she's speaking from her diaphragm. I'm telling you, she's been drinking. And that explains pretty much everything here.

What shocks me most is how much like Sarah Jessica Parker's ugly sister she looks in this (21 minutes long) broadcast ...

Madonna - Elizabeth Taylor Birthday Speech

Elizabeth Taylor 1978 TV Interview

This is from Dinah Shaw's show in 1978. Liz Taylor's (then) new movie A Little Night Music had just come out. They speak holding "telephones" because it was thought an audience at the time would not understand how, due to satellite link-up, actress and interviewer could be speaking "live" and yet not appear in the same shot

Paparazzi ET

Why do American presenters talk to us like we're mentally retarded? Is it because they're mentally retarded?

Harking back to the very height of the 1980s...

Paparazzi were already getting out of control back then!

Take a look at this:!

Madonna Gets a Parking Ticket

O how bloody exciting.

And "good morning Mrs Richie"~ sarcasm drips like venom from a cobra's fangs ...

Madonna London Paparazzi

Wow the flashes, man!

Being London, of course, her "hubby" Guy Richie also features:

2007 footage. Of a bruise on Madonna's cheek. Oh dear.

Madonna & Sugar Ray Paparazzi

Who the hell is Sugar Ray? Or his band?... help me someone... uh..?? hh....

O man, and we have the "I'm talking to you like you're retarded" American voice-over once again.

OK the guy's name is Mark McGrath (has anybody anywhere actually heard of this person?, because he's not famous in this centre of the universe) and in this clip he's seriously losing it. Giving everything he shouldn't and nothing that he should. I.e. squaring up to this guy for a fight he knows cannot happen... not without squelamious legal repercussions and the paps basically winning.

Some little boys never grow up.

Apocalypse actually means "revelation" and the only thing Paris has "revealed" is her snatch. Come on!

One family even sailed a plane overhead trailing a banner, "We love you Paris from the Darling Family"~~ they were either v rich or v stupid ...

Isn't 2700 sq ft rather pokey for an LA home?

Jordan (Katie Price)'s "First Interview"

Katie Price (as she now likes to be called) is currently the scourge of America with her vulgar documentary revealing her silicone life with Aussie ex pop star Peter Andre.

This is her before the implants.

Boy George Being Punished

We all love to see the rich and famous being publicly humiliated (or "humbled" as the judge supposedly would prefer it).

Boy George got caught with thirteen bags of cocaine in his New York "residence" and somehow got off with community service ..?

Only in America!

Boy George Loses Temper

Called a "batty boy" !!

Note how the clipboard-holding nobodies try not to cower too much in his aura of rage.

Diana and the Paps

Princess Diana was without a shadow of a doubt the most photographed woman of her time.

Narrated by Andrew Morton (author of Diana Her True Story)

Here's a short documentary about her "relationship" with the paparazzi.

Paris Hilton - Britney Spears - Lindsay Lohan "Action"

No it's not rude!

Imagine leaving a party and getting all this though. Every time!

Man those girls must be patient. I'm not surprised some of the "beefier" celebrities sock 'em one every now and then. I'm just amazed it doesn't happen more often!

Notice the paps' pathetic attempt to insinuate themselves with the girls by "helping" them locate their car. When really they're just after nude crotch shots all along~~it's all there!
