| Benitez reminds everyone that Liverpool could win too Posted: 01 Dec 2008 08:27 AM CST
With everyone focused around whether Arsenal are written off, or if Chelsea are about to hit hard times, or whether Man United are just quietly going to sneak past everyone - Rafa Benitez has chimed in to remind people that Liverpool are actually doing quite well this year.
After being a non-factor at the top of the table for a rather long time, with a history of costly runs of poor league form, as well as the fact that Fernando Torres can’t seem to get healthy, most neutrals have pretty much blocked the idea that Liverpool could win the league out of their mind. But if the Reds can stay near the top through the busy Christmas fixtures then it’s definitely time to sit up and take notice. Related Posts |
| Mallett & Esther are out - That’s Life Posted: 01 Dec 2008 03:12 AM CST
Timmy Mallet failed to beat Brian Paddick in the eviction task Last night saw two evictions in the Jungle and the first was decided by an eat/drink-off between Timmy Mallett and Brian Paddick. Called Last Chance Saloon, the two “celebs” had to eat and drink a selection of Jungle nasties, first to finish had to open their mouths to prove they’d swallowed. After 2 rounds it was all square, then came the money shot, round three saw them have to drink a ‘penis colada’, a combination of crocodile and camel penis with a penis wedge, Paddick said: 'If I don't win this I'll never live it down.' He won, Mallet went home. Later in the show, with the usual telephone vote-off, Ester Rantzen became the fifth celeb to be evicted, The DailyDust’s favourite to win just didn’t argue enough to become Queen of The Jungle. She said: “I’m feeling very sorry to leave because they are such lovely people and the whole environment is so gorgeous.” Not as gorgeous as the deep hot bubble bath she had planned though..

| Davina Looking For Big Finish to Big Brother Posted: 01 Dec 2008 12:21 AM CST
She’s hopeful of finding a new TV project to take on before the big Brother gig is finally evicted from her life. Her previous projects have included cult dating show Streetmates, the ill-fated ‘Davina!’ chat show, and being the female voice for the dubbing of the first season of Eurotrash. Her stint at BB has gathered her many fans (and some shampoo commercials, surely the mark someone has made it big) and we at The Dust await that next project with keen interest. But do keep Big Brother running, we love that almost as much as Dead Set. Related Posts |
| Johnny Depp Lined Up To Play James Bond? Posted: 01 Dec 2008 12:10 AM CST
Who could forget the masterpiece casting of Richard Burton, Roger Moore and Richard Harris in the blockbuster “The Wild Geese”? Two studios are looking to make a film of his life, and the former Bond has made it know that “…he’s a great admirer of Johnny Depp.” Sounds like perfect casting for us, only Depp could carry off the classic Moore/Bond lines such as “just keeping the British end up, Sir!” (Hat tip: Digital Spy).

The format is pretty steady, with Punt and Dennis opening and closing the show, firing at a bucket load of targets and dropping in a number of running jokes for the dedicated listener (keep your ears open for a Donald Pleasance Great Escape “I can see perfectly”). Alongside them are comedians John Holmes and Marcus Bridgestock, the former answering readers ‘letters and emails,’ while Bridgestock has a polemic that makes him the closest the UK has to Ketih Olberman. And then there’s Mitch Benn, the comedy collossus with a guitar, putting the week’s highlights to music. Here’s one of his gems from a show last year… Mitch Benn, on a previous Now Show, covering Stairway to Heaven The only bad thing about The Now Show is that it has to share the 6.30pm Friday slot on Radio 4 with The News Quiz, so last week was the final News Quiz while The Now Show has it’s run. Turn about on running a topical news comedy show? How very British. The Now Show, Radio 4, Fridays at 6.30pm, repeated Saturdays 12.30pm, or on Listen Again via the BBC Radio 4 site.

Dragons’ Den star Theo Paphitis is rumoured to be considering a bid for collapsed high street chain Woolworths.

We’re talking both to financial players but also to people in the retail trade as well. We have previously reported on Woolworths going into administration – will Theo be able to save the business?

| Premier League round-up: The Tightness Continues Posted: 30 Nov 2008 12:34 PM CST
Another weekend, another topsy-turvy set of results that keeps things tighter than a nun’s chopsticks in England’s top flight. The result of the weekend is the supposedly in-turmoil Arsenal knocking off table-toppers Chelsea in one of the 900 London derbies. Van Persie’s quickfire double over just 3 minutes in the second half proving enough. So far Phil Scolari is still sat next to Avram Grant in the list of managers who haven’t really managed to prove better than Jose Mourinho. The Portugese simply got results every single week. Rooney’s 100th goal was enough to KO Man City as Ronaldo was sent off for a hilarious hand ball when he decided to palm the ball away at an attacking corner instead of taking his free header at goal. He claims to have heard a stray whistle, but we prefer to chalk it up to a moment of madness ™. Rest of the results were either boring or hardly surprising, with Bolton crushing Sunderland and Spurs looking a bit awful against Everton. Redknapp may be a more inspirational manager, but he’s still failing to make Bent and Pavyluchenko work and still ships Bentley out on the left - both massive criticisms of Juande Ramos. Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal Related Posts |
