...new wave in kentish town is amazing, and into you in clerkenwell - i think into you have two lady artists there as well.

the best headline we've ever run on Lipster.

to mention patricia routledge. all living together happily. it's what i heard.

that you have pointed this out and will now enjoy watching it that little bit more.

then they undid all that good by not being brave enough to put a woman as the main cover star - they put muse on there instead. boo hiss.

i take it back. it's just SO mindboggling that i thought people wouldn't believe the horror...

...aren't going all-out on BB coverage, but opening night is pretty big entertainment news, and we wanted to cover it lipster-style. plenty for you to read elsewhere if you're not into it...

that was me being distracted by shiny new bikes (not that one). no filth implied to the fine and upstanding evans.

Truck's always been my favourite festival by miles - friendly, small, pleasant, cider brewed by local farmers... you can't ask for more.

gwyneth paltrow drinking a pint of guinness on jonathan ross a few weeks ago. she didn't look manly. that's all.

Patti Smith, punk legend, arty type, poetess and all round cool lady, is the subject of a film called Dream Of Life, which has done the rounds at several film festivals already this year. And now the biopic, which followed her for 11 years, is getting an official cinema release in September, with a DVD planned for next year. Here's a little film about it from the Sundance Channel:

i heard untitled, and i heard 'nas'. it's the old eponymous conundrum. like, um, razorlight's second album or 'razorlight'. i can't think of a better one.

Rosamund Lehmann - Oxfam find and new favourite author. Currently ploughing my way through her stuff.

I've hated Lowri Turner since she wrote that ridiculous article about how gay men can't look after children because they're too busy thinking about sofa patterns. Vile.

I thought the Beach Boys were on acid? Beach Boys on acid on acid doesn't sound as good, though.

you'd never get a TFL rep saying "we are not poets" in defence of anything, would you? that's why i like france.

when i was 12 i dyed my hair with green and blue food colouring. surprisingly effective.

get jenny from the apprentice involved in the next campaign, since she is so good at "breast-feeding" her colleagues. shudder.

...my first ever doctor who on saturday because of this feature. i enjoyed it thoroughly, even la tate.

that i went to see 27 dresses at the weekend (with my mum) and it became the only film i've ever walked out of. it was beyond terrible. damn you, katherine heigl!

we need to do a lipster movie girls rock film festival. who's coming?

no. i forget that we rhyme.

This is obviously awful, but why didn't she just let everyone think she'd put on a bit of weight, until she was ready to announce her pregnancy?

whether i mind being called a "girl" depends on the context innit. liverpudlian "girl" = nice. corporations and advertisers referring to women as "girls" = yuk.

i forgot about her. yet another reason to love it.

it's mona lisa smile (i got it before i watched it), 13 going on 30 (which i loved despite the wrongness) and devil wears prada. just for the kt tunstall medley at the start. and you've got to love meryl.

was meant to be a reply to StuartW. not sure why it's down here.

i read this today, after writing our MGMT piece. glad to see it's not just me that's bewitched/addicted. i like your site too, and have bookmarked it for daily reading.

i say "puppies". it's a word that a lascivious old lady might whip out to be cheeky. "jubblies" makes me think of heavy-breathing old perverts. but "chesticles" and "norks" are easily my least favourites. yuk.

I'm much more offended by the plastic surgery ads all over the Central line at the moment which imply, with not much subtlety, that getting a boob job will make you a better person. This lady, on the other hand, is cool.

I think that’s a bit unnecessary. It’s a piece about a fashion photographer timed for fashion week, and regardless of whether you like his work or not, we chose him because he’s one of the most talked-about new young fashion photographers out there. And, in his defence, he told me to choose pictures from the many on his MySpace to illustrate this piece. I picked the Lindsay Lohan snapshot – not a published photo – while the other pictures, his editorial work, aren’t of celebrities at all. It’s hard not to sound like I’m being sarcastic (I’m not) but please do tell us who else we should be writing about – this isn’t the only piece we’re ever going to do on a photographer, honestly!

that the death sentence will be revoked, but keep signing:

but am also outraged at the Victoria Wood diss. She is god.

didn't kelly jones call his little baby daughter lolita? bit weird, right?

and shirley is the best thing in it for years. i wouldn't mess with her.

going back to my northern roots, we can't leave corrie's bet lynch off the list. fags, leopard print, a beehive - she was a winehouse prototype and no mistake.

I invented this phrase.

I actually get 10 pence everytime it is used on DiS..

innit.

it's got a TEDDY BEAR IN A NIGHT CAP. obv.

is the ridiculously-named "celestial seasonings sleepytime tea". it's from america and is wrapped in wax paper and is probably not carbon-footprint-friendly, but it has this lot in it:

Camomile flowers, spearmint leaves, lemon grass, tilia flowers, blackberry leaves, orange blossoms, hawthorn berries, and rosebuds

It is as nice as it is pretentious. Mmmm.

you and winehouse both. maybe that's what drove her to it.

what would the world be like without carly simon's rapping? god love her.

said he was laying off britney this year, as she had enough to deal with. what a guy.

it's about teen pregnancy, but done funny. she seems like a smashing lady.

post a hilarious reply to this, but i'm a lady, so i haven't got one.

still getting used to the buttons here and i've accidentally deleted this thread, for no reason at all. all apologies.

i was thinking of ms dynamite! and didn't mutya cite being a mum as the reason she left the sugababes? i know young women <i>can</i> have children and careers, but once they've actually birthed, they don't seem to want to, at least for a couple of years. hence my gut reaction of "oh".

This didn't really fit into the story, but when I saw Polly Jean at the Royal Festival Hall, there was a ruckus behind me because these girls were singing along, and the man next to them screamed, "I didn't buy a fucking ticket to listen to you singing". And they left. It was quite strange. That was a sit-down show, so maybe it's meant to be more polite?

and they played my favourite gig of the year.
