The other night I was drawn to the television, where Posh Spice’s one-hour TV special ‘Coming to America’ was airing. The show has been critically savaged by most media, but I learned a few things.
(Posh Spice lowdown: Former Spice Girl and wife of football/soccer star and model David Beckham. He’s so cute, if only he’d […]
Harry Potter’s so hot right now. He’s the focus of many water-cooler chats this month, ranking just below Ms Hilton and the iPhone. He has a new movie out and his seventh book is about to hit the shelves.
I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix yesterday and have reviewed it […]
I’ve heard of frivolous purchases, but…
You may have clicked on this ‘top story’ on Digg about the weirdest item to find itself on Amazon.com. I think it looks quite stylish, actually. I was thinking of trading in my Honda and this sexy Badonkadonk Land Cruiser’s a steal at $20K.
What interested me almost as much though […]
I simply couldn’t let the 30th anniversary of the very first Star Wars movie pass by without a tribute post. I was a mere fetus when it was released but that didn’t stop me queuing for days to get to the first screening!
Han Solo was the coolest character in the original trilogy, apart from R2D2. […]
This is the first in a series of posts about bloggers I would like to hang out with, big or small, with some background about them and their site.

Perez is the ego behind the super-popular internet gossip blog PerezHilton.com. It is fricking enormous. Perez’s real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. He’s 29 and used […]
Lost had its two-hour finale episode last night. I missed it due to the pub quiz I didn’t win but by all accounts it went out with a bang and, of course, the addition of 20 more head-scratching plot twists. I know plenty of people who have switched off the show in frustration, never to […]
Last night I went to a pub quiz where the grand prize was $240. I was told that pub quizzes are relatively new in the US, so let me explain: you show up, pay a $5 entry fee, choose a silly name for your team, drink as much as possible, start the quiz and realize […]
Do you work an Office Space life, or have you escaped from cubicle fever?
The Simpsons recently celebrated its 400th episode. We’ve all seen more than a handful of episodes so must be learning something. What does the show teach us about work and money?
Tonight I went to see Ricky Gervais live (not dead) at Madison Square. I was so excited. I’m a huge fan of the painfully funny Office, UK version, and Extras, and I’d seen excerpts of his stand-up shows on YouTube and they were brilliant.
Anyway, the show was due to start at 8pm, but at 8pm […]
