I.T Hell

Right this is more of a cry for help than an actual blog. If there's anyone out there that knows how to make a blog on typepad could they please tell me why when I add detail to my page it looks fine on my computer, but changes on other peoples. Basically I want to make it look that my blog is universally the same on everyones PC!

HELP!

Thanks

Britney's Back

When I saw these pictures of Britney I was shocked as it looks almost as though the insame head shaving/paparazzi bounty hunting days never happened. It's amazing what a Hollywood makeover can do for you, or the 'dance lessons' shes been giving to young children, as claimed by her publicists. Although I suppose you can't blame them, it does sound a lot nicer than saying "Britneys really happy with the effective results Dyson have had on sucking out all the fat".

Twin Tastic!!

It seems that every celebrity is having twins these days, but the thing that really baffled me, was when I reda in a certain newspaper that this was just another Hollywood fashion trend. I mean how ridiculous is that? I can just imagine Anglina and Brad, being like, "I don't suppose we could get another one of them while we're here?" when they went for their first scan; I mean it's not exactly the same as a McDonald's drive-thru, apart from the fact that in both instances you end up putting on weight.

Well if that doesn't prove you shouldn't believe everything that you read in the papers, then I don't know what will.

Flakey Sacla

I realise that I'm quite sad for watching the level of television that I do, but recently some new adverts have been broadcast that make me want to pull out my own eyeballs and eat them! I don't know if any of you have seen the advert for this new product, which I can only assume is pesto, rather than the devil reincarnated, called Sacla. The man in the advert just keeps on saying "Sa" followed by, you guessed it "Cla"; and dear God if I have to listen to that man one more time I am going to hunt him down and put that jar of pasta sauce where the sun doesn't shine!

Also, never having been a fan of Joss Stone, Flake have done themselves no favours in getting themselves more custom by making her the new Flake girl. Now while my opinion is biased I always believed that the Flake girl was meant to ooze sex appeal, while Joss Stone achieves the performance of a vanilla candle crossed with a wotsit in this advert, plain and cheesy.

Both Flake and Sacla were ripped off by their advertising agencies if you asked me, and they would have been much better off getting some decent PR practitioners involved instead.

Patrick Swayze exaggeration!

I was reading the papers the other day only to find out to great shock that Patrick Swayze only had "days to live". Considering he's a young man I was understandably confused as to why this was, and so read on. Unfortunately, he has been diagnosed with pancriatic cancer which is awful, and it must be a very difficult time for his family. While the illness is a particularly harsh form of the cancer, with a high percentage of fatalities, according to representatives he is "responding well to treatment", and that opinion on his condition so far has been highly exaggerated.

It would seem that the papers went all out this day to crack out their moral high ground, as I'm sure spreading these sorts of rumours made his family feel so much better, and the fact that they weren't even true really does ensure some tears from the Swayze family, so congratulations to those writers.

It just goes to show what journalists are prepared to do to increase readership, although like with Britney, I predict that they will claim the source of the 'leak' as just being a PR stunt by Swayze and his associates to get more coverage. When will us PR practitioners learn hey?!

Is she or isn't she?

The gossip columns haven't stopped in their analysis of the current Cheryl and Ashley Cole situation at the moment, wondering whether they're getting back together or getting a divorce. Even though we have seen this situation occur so many other times with WAG's, the most famous occasion being the Beckham affair; I think that she would be an absolute idiot to follow in the footsteps of Posh and try to make the relationship work.

In all fairness, the Beckhams do appear to be happier than ever in all of their photos together. However have you seen the state of some of the women that Ashley went off with. I mean Cheryl is gorgeous, so you're thinking anyone who he cheats on her with would have to be like Kate Moss, but they're about as fit as a fat kid on sports day!


If you ask me she's well off out of it.

Quantum Leap

So we have just had our first leap day in 4 years, and like everytime this happens, we get to read articles about people who have only had four birthdays when they are technically 16. With Dec, of Ant and Dec joking that he is now engaged believing that when proposed to by a woman on this day it is illegal to say 'no'.

However, on this day something fantastic in my family happened when my brother's girlfriend proposed to him and he said 'yes', because he is too chicken to ask himself!

So have any of the rest of you got any stories to report back on from last Friday?
