great video. it's the nme poll winner's concert, 1964. more or less the only time you get to see live performances in that period. everybody knows the beatles section of the concert but it would be cool to get the whole video just to see the one hit wonders who were also on the bill. i believe the stones were there: www.youtube.com/watch?v=52FB_AOgnbY |

If a guy was wasting time on the internet, he could do worse than Mamie Van Doren's web page.....be warned, it takes a little while to (ahem) load. |

i wasn't sure whether to post this on the poking stick thread or the six white horses thread. though neither and both is/are relevant.
anyway, malibu is burning - i guess you're all following it on CTXV or whatever - and several, "stars", have lost their luxury villas to the burning inferno and stuff.
these four names took my eye in the la repubblica article i've just been reading: dick van dyke, mel gibson, olivia newton-john and james cameron.
like, is the hand of god at work here? dick was the chimmney sweep in mary poppins (don't play with fire, right?). james cameron was the director of titanic. mel and olivia both deserve it for many reasons.
it makes you think, right? maybe there is a god. and if there is, then thanks, big guy, you've been doing some good work this sunday.
sunday, right? it just has to be h*m.

Can't be. It didn't get Robbie Williams' house. And he wasn't in it.

I was thinking of posting that pic (several, actually) of poor Sharon in 1969, but it's too much really... instead, here's good ol' Pier Paolo, the way police found him on the morning of 2 november 1975:  |

Good old Pier Paolo. His death could have made a pretty good movie. As long as somebody else directed it . . .

Heather Mills McCartney's GMTV meltdown: the verdict
Lucy Mangan
The Guardian
Thursday November 1 2007
Heather Mills McCartney has become the latest in an illustrious line of C-list celebs, which includes Kerry Katona, Jo O'Meara and Jade Goody, to shake an extra sprinkling of entertainment over the nation's breakfast cereals by means of a public meltdown on the GMTV sofa.
Perhaps encouraged by the warm, non-judgmental gaze of her interviewer, Fiona Phillips, Mills began with a vocally impassioned if facially immobile denunciation of "a specific portion" of the press which has waged a campaign of hate against her - "18 months of abuse, 4,400 abusive articles". Phillips gamely tried to interject but was swept aside by Mills as she turned to yet another page of the large scrapbook containing a selection of said 4,400 articles, which she had brought with her. On the whole, the prop was a mistake, making her look like a paranoid obsessive rather than a wounded victim and undermining her (many) valid arguments against the viciousness of the press and her decision to ask the European parliament to provide her and others in similar positions with proper redress.
Her voice first cracked as she asserted to Phillips - who was by now, presumably, beginning to recite inwardly the prayer for aid in the face of an unravelling guest (known to presenters as the Oliver Reed novena) - that she and her daughter had been the target of death threats.
At a pitch discernible only by dogs, she squeaked, "I've had worse press than a paedophile or a murderer, and I've done nothing but charity for 20 years."
Recovering, she went on to rail further against the tabloids, flicking more feverishly through her files, and threw in a decent impression of her husband's Scouse chumminess that so disarms the paparazzi.
The words tumbled forth, the gestures became ever more fervent - if it was a performance, then we must conclude that the theatre lost a Sarah Bernhardt the day Mills decided to opt for glamour modelling and amputee fundraising instead of acting.
By the time the interview ended with her claiming that "I have a box of evidence that's going to a certain person should anything happen to me, so if you top me off, it's still going to that person and the truth will come out", I was ready to ride with her all the way to Strasbourg.

yI've had worse press than a paedophile or a murderer, and I've done nothing but charity for 20 years. Now there's an interesting statement. Surely, over the past 20 years, she's spent at least a month (aggregate) either pissing or shitting. You have to assume she's spent an additional week or two (also aggregate) belching or farting. And really - what sort of charity work does "farting" fall under? |

I would have used the tried and true Paulie question:
Q: 'Were you in The Beatles?'
Heather: 'Well, no.'
Q: 'Then shut the fuck up.'
