Gossip for grown-ups
Here in England, Big Brother is kind of interesting - if watching fat women break beds by leaping on them and posh women with gigantic fake boobs counts as being interesting. But in Australia, Big Brother is really going some. In fact, this year's Australian Big Brother is so outrageous that the Prime Minister of the country wants to tear the series off the air after a male contestant apparently rubbed his crotch in a female contestant's face. We don't know what the fuss is about, to be honest - we've been to Australia, and we're almost completely certain that that's a traditional greetings for locals.
We're not sure about you, but we wouldn't expect one of the key characteristics of being a knight to be 'cute'. We want a double-hard, blood-splattered knight, not a cute knight. But there must be some call for a cute knight somewhere, since we've got a game for you today called Cute Knight. In Cute Knight, you play a girl who has to learn how to make friends, find a job and fall in love. Ahhh. Look, you're either going to love or hate Cute Knight, but you have to admire the size ...
The Pipettes Pull Shapes Memphis Industries “I just wanna move; I don’t care what the song’s about” is perhaps the best pop lyric ever. Or, if we’re being more precise, the most pop pop lyric ever. Such a perfect distillation of that sticky old liquor we call popular music is what we’ve come to expect from Brighton’s Pipettes - equal parts polka dots, hands-on-hips sex appeal and endless legs - who cracked the top forty in April with the 60s doo-wop channelling Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me. New single Pull Shapes is almost as good: a veritable hat-stand of hooks, a great girl-group melody and some lovely melodramatic strings to add to the period charm. Listen, swoon and then buy that polka dot tie. There's more; oh, there's more. Singles reviews for Lily Allen, Razorlight, Paolo Nutini, Jamie T and George Michael all after the jump...
Hey! Enjoying the sunshine? Well, no. Of course you're not. It's Monday, and that means - like every other Monday from now until the end of infinity itself - you're sat in a hellishly underventilated office, rearranging paperclips and staring at spreadsheets.

So now we have two Big Brother houses to keep tabs on, and a brand new set of five Big Brother housemates to worry about. And if you thought the original lot were bad, you're in for a treat. Despite having been in their new homes for a couple of days, the new Big Brother housemates have all been assigned their own set of Big Brother betting odds.

It’s very nice (folded) to go travelling… but unpacking is a bitch (creased) Folded: Screenonline.org.uk (the BFI’s excellent website on British entertainment history. Some interesting stuff on Ealing) Muse (totally found their form again. They look like they are enjoying it too) Never Mind the Full Stops on BBC4 (not intellectual comedy at all. Watch it if you like to laugh) Germany (the country, not the football team. Just for putting up with us out there really) In the Morning by Razorlight (as much as we hate to applaud, these guys just nail ...
Lindsay Lohan is one of Hollywood's brightest stars at making rubbish films about magic cars or rubbish films about magic luck-switches or rubbish films about magic parent-switches or god knows what else rubbish magic-y crap. And we've come to accept most stories about Lindsay Lohan, no matter how outrageous or unbelievable, with no more than a sigh and shrug of acceptance. But something has come to our attention that has turned our stomachs - it's rumoured that Lindsay Lohan recently had sex with one of the interchangeable McFly gonks. Of course, Lindsay Lohan is denying having anything to do with McFly - but then again, wouldn't everyone?
It seems like an age ago since Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were together. These days, Jennifer is happy denying that she's ever even met Vince Vaughn, and Brad Pitt is busy saving the world with Angelina Jolie. But it's not as if Brad Pitt has completely forgotten about Jennifer Aniston. Or rather, Angelina Jolie hasn't forgotten about Jennifer Aniston. If reports are true, then Angelina has ordered Brad to remove every last trace of Aniston before she'll move into the Malibu mansion that Brad and Jennifer shared while they were married. Everything - the stale smoke smell, the stack of terrible movie scripts, the remnants of the pity parties she had with herself - it all has to go.
