The ‘Spray Q&A: Oppenheimer

by Stuart Heritage

Earlier in the year, we were sent word of a spiffy new band’s MySpace page. The band was called Oppenheimer, and the songs on their MySpace page have stuck in our brains ever since. Fuzzy like Joy Zipper, warm like The Spinto Band, catchy like the H5N1 strain of bird flu, Oppenheimer are a name [...]

Charlize Theron Stiffs James Bond

by Stuart Heritage

You know, we’re not too sure that Casino Royale will ever be made. After all the piff-paff about trying to find an actor to play James Bond, finding a Bond Girl was supposed to be a cinch. But that’s not the case. Nobody wants to be in the new James Bond film. Not Angelina Jolie, [...]

Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. Tookie Williams: A Stadium Up For Grabs

by Shawn Lindseth

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a tough guy. He killed bad guys in Predator, he was a villain turned good guy in the Terminator movies, and reigned supreme in the classroom for Kindergarten Cop. Such roles, however, could not have prepared him for the strange case that was Tookie Williams. This is an odd unfolding tale readers, [...]

Gwen Stefani Has A Little Baby In Her Belly?

by Stuart Heritage

Gwen Stefani’s album was called Love.Angel.Music.Baby. And – now that it’s been reported that she’s – Gwen can cross the Baby part out. All that’s left for her is to fall in Love, make some decent Music and, um, something about an Angel. We didn’t think this through. Anyway, Gwen Stefani and big in America [...]

Elton John Hitched

by Stuart Heritage

Today, Elton John gets married to his long-time partner David Furnish in Windsor on the first day that same-sex civil partnerships are made legal in England. Elton John probably spent this morning doing the traditional male ‘getting married today’ routine. That usually involves waking up next to an anonymous stripper, experiencing huge waves of crashing [...]

SLACKERJACK – Evil Elves 2

by 586 MEDIA

Elves, as you already know, are evil. All elves. Sometimes we pelt toddlers with handfuls of gravel because we think they’re evil elves. But that’s not the way you should go about things, as today’s Slackerjack shows. Today’s Slackerjack is Evil Elves 2 – a game where you get to teach those pesky (and evil) [...]

Watch A Clip From The Business DVD

by 586 MEDIA

Amidst all the terrible Hollywood films that came out this year was The Business – possibly the second best film about cockney gangsters in a hot country ever made (after Sexy Beast, obviously). Once you’ve got over the novelty of watching a bunch of 1980s cockneys walking around a villa going "Fack! FACK! Fack! Fack [...]

Bono Spends Thousands On Transporting Hat

by C J Davies

U2 frontman Bono has a lot on his mind. He’s so goshdarn busy – what with trying to save the world and singing formulaic songs in iPod adverts – that he occasionally puts his hat down and forgets to take it with him when he leaves. "But wait," we hear you cry, "how will Bono [...]

2006 Music Betting Odds – Jacko, Cliff, Big Brother

by Stuart Heritage

Here we are at the arse-end of 2005, and what have we got to look forward to in 2006? More of the same relentless drudgery combined with a growing sense of your own mortality, that’s what. But – hey – apart from that, things are looking up! Why? Because we’ve got a brand new set [...]

Christmas Number One Betting Odds – Wednesday’s Odds

by Stuart Heritage

Today is probably the most pivotal day of the year in the race to become UK 2005 Christmas Number One – it’s the day that X Factor winner Shayne Ward releases That’s My Goal. Until today, the Christmas Number One hunt had been mainly made up of a man pretending to be a baby singing [...]
