From today’s paper comes this article about a Sunflower Massage, not too far
from the tourist corridor and being investigated for prostitution:

“…
Crime scene analyst Tracy Kruse … inspected Sunflower Massage. … She used
special lights that illuminate chemicals and biological fluids, and ‘the rooms
glowed a lot,’ Kruse said. Subsequent tests indicated that the glowing globs
were semen.”

I have never been to a Las Vegas massage parlor. And if you
go I would recommend dressing like it is winter in Minnesota. Touch nothing. And
really ask yourself if this is where you want to be during your Vegas visit.

Gev Manoukian is a dark horse.

Gev has never been in danger, but he has never been a crowd favorite either.  All of that could change after his stunning solo this evening. Backstage after the show, Nigel Lythgoe called it the best of the night.

Free T-shirts make tweens scream

When Tommy the warm-up guy offered a free T-shirt to the audience, the screams from the mosh pit climbed into the whistle range. “They’re cheering for that shirt louder than they’re cheering for me,” quipped Nigel.

Mary Murphy can shake it!

Yeah, we know she was a professional ballroom dancer, but we never
get to see Mary’s moves on “So You Think You Can Dance.” Tonight, the
way she shook her hips on her way to her judge’s chair was worthy of a
seat on the hot tamale train.

Nigel has a soft spot for JT

When “Sexy Back” began to blare through the speakers, Nigel couldn’t help dancing right there in his chair.

Cat Deeley talks to herself

When she broke out laughing before introducing the show, Cat reprimanded herself, saying, “serious face!”

Crumbs, there is so much going on, it is difficult to know where to start(and the day-job is getting a bit lively).

In bullet points this is what has happened in chronological order at Silverstone so far

* Lewis accepts a challenge from Jenson to do a triathlon for charity and is then promptly withdrawn from it by his father and manager Anthony(very poor PR - underlines again the very obvious reality that “team Hamilton” needs its own full-time media consultant).
* DC announces his retirement at the end of this season when he is widely believed to be joining the new BBC television team as paddock-based expert in place of Mark Blundell(who has joked recently that he has brought a new sofa, all the better to watch the racing next year from home).
* Mosley writes to the teams setting out a radical overhaul of how Formula One is going to be run and gives them three months to write a new set of technical regulations.
* Bernie and Max reveal that they have called a truce as we exclusively report in today’s paper. Is this a real end to hostilities or a temporary ceasefire? Why did it happen? I understand the two men met after three months of cold war. Whose idea was the meeting? One thorn in Bernie’s side that remains is the Formula 2 championship. Will this be quietly forgotten?
* Practice session one. A warm dry morning sees Felipe head the time-sheets only to have a dangerous high-speed crash at Stowe when his left-front wheel skidded on oil left by Fernando’s exploding engine. The Brazilian hit the tyre wall quite close to where Michael Schmacher had his big shunt in ‘99. There was big damage to the rear of Felipe’s car but apparently none to him fortunately - a big setback for him which will leave him on the back foot for the rest of the weekend.
* The FIA announces that the British Grand Prix is safe but that it will move to Donington Park from 2010, a possibility first mooted during the French Grand Prix. This has left the press room stunned. Clearly Bernie has totally lost it with what he calls “shitty” Silverstone. My guess is that this will be a hybrid deal where Bernie will take over Donington during Formula One weekends and will plough a good deal of his own money into the place in return. There is a huge amount to do and there are some in the media centre here who do not believe the move will ever happen.

Err..that’s it for now. Whatever next? Lewis signs for Ferrari???

When I was twelve years old, my dad told me that if I wasn’t careful, I was going to turn out like my mom. We were driving down Main Street in Spanish Fork, just past the public library, when Dad dropped the b-word. Total bitch, he said. At twelve, I’d probably heard the word a total of three times, and I was embarrassed by it. Clearly, he and my mom had fought about something (money, more than likely); he was blowing off steam. Once after they’d argued, he punched the deep freeze in the garage, leaving a shallow dent. This time he told me that I was going to have a string of unsuccessful marriages and nasty divorces, because I didn’t know how to treat people. I don’t really remember my dad spanking me as a kid. But I remember this.

I remember, too, coming home from a church activity that evening, frazzled and upset, and telling my mother that one of the girls on my kickball team called me a bitch. I went to bed while the sun was still up. And, while the sun was still up, I was dragged back out of bed and into the living room where an innocent thirteen year old girl was waiting to apologize for hurting my feelings. I confessed, bawled, and went back to my room.

Later, my mom came in, sat down next to me on the daybed and asked me why I’d lied. I told her I didn’t know; let her assign it to general preteen angst. But I knew. All I’d wanted was for her to be sorry that someone had called me such an awful thing - without telling her it was my dad who’d said it. If I told her, they would fight again. Dad would punch something or hold onto the banister and yell until Mom left to drive around the neighborhood while it got dark. Later, when she came home, Dad would have written, “I’m sorry” in his slanting scrawl in dry erase marker on the garage freezer door. And I would have had another nightmare about thick, brown barrels tumbling from the sky - a dream I’d associate for the rest of my life with the barrel-shaped rootbeer candies - and woken up with my pillowcase soaked in sweat. I didn’t want that. I didn’t want to be the reason they yelled.

Mostly, though, I didn’t snitch, because I didn’t want him to be right.

What a nice proposition: “Come on up to the Marchesa show and look at the make up.” Oh OK, if I must. I arrive at the Stila set up and talk to Talia Sobrook and Sara Lucero. The inspiration is Elizabethan: pure, pale skin, matte, but still pretty (trend alert). Talia assures me that matte skin will be the next big thing in make up. Alright, good to know. I see a flared line of individual lashes on the lid, Boquet, Chinois and Smoky Quartz. Cheeks are the new Cherry Crush stain, also on lips. Subtle and beautiful, the Stila team is coming out with a whole pallet come autumn. Teddy Charles pulled back hair into a “soft ballerina” using T3 Plump. (Gotta say I love that stuff!)

These stars have it all: enough street smarts to make it in Hollywood, and enough book smarts to qualify as certified brainiacs. Yeah, we’re jealous too. From Ivy League scholars to language whizzes, find out which A-list stars are also Grade-A students.

Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon has called his own band the best in Britain, says the Press Association.

Speaking at the launch of Julien Temple’s Pistols DVD There’ll Always Be An England, the punk icon claimed that his group are “Britain’s finest”.

Lydon said: “This is edited highlights, but anyone who is potentially interested in seeing true British genuine quality of work should pay attention to this, we are Britain’s finest.”

He added: “Always have been, alright? And there’s only one man in England who really can save the Queen and it would be Johnny Rotten.”

Lydon recently complained that music festivals have lost their excitement and dubbed Coldplay “utterly humourless”.

Christian Bale has revealed that he will quit the Batman franchise if the character of Robin is introduced.

Starpulse quotes the actor as saying: “If Robin crops up in one of the new Batman films, I’ll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work.”

The character, Batman’s comic book sidekick, appeared in Batman Forever and Batman & Robin but was dropped for Christopher Nolan’s 2005 franchise reboot Batman Begins.

The Dark Knight, which sees Bale reprise his role as the Gotham superhero, is released in the UK on July 25.
