Say whatever you like about Guy Ritchie, but never suggest that he doesn't like women with stupid accents. Because that's incontestable fact. Until recently Guy Ritchie was married to Madonna, whose bizarre mid-Atlantic accent made her sound exactly like Lloyd Grossman choking on grape skins - and now it's been rumoured that he's hooked up with Jemima Khan, the horsey aristocrat who used to go out with Hugh Grant. And, as we all known, Jemima Khan is so furiously posh that her voice sounds a mouse stuck up a chimney who can only communicate in vowel-sounds. Well done, Guy Ritchie.
If you see Hugh Grant or Liz Hurley, you're bound to want to take a picture of them. That's just basic logic at work - your choices are essentially limited to taking a picture of Hugh Grant or Liz Hurley or approaching them and saying "Hi, I really loved you in Music And Lyrics/ Passenger 57." And only the very worst kind of pathological liar would think to do that last one. But wait - don't go taking pictures of Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley without their permission, because they'll sue you and win £58,000, which is what happened yesterday after a photo agency took their picture on holiday. The moral of this story is that Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley value their privacy, although clearly not enough to stop making films and doing modelling jobs. Even though everyone sort of wishes they would.
Although nobody knows what Andy Warhol was thinking when he made a screen print of Elizabeth Taylor's face in 1963, chances are it was probably "I just hope that one day this painting makes the stuttering git from Music And Lyrics rich."
And what do you know, it has. Last night Hugh Grant auctioned off the Andy Warhol screen print of his entitled “Liz (Colored Liz”) in New York, and sold it for $23.7 million - seven times what he'd originally paid for it. Nobody knows what Hugh Grant will spend all this new Warhol money on - maybe he'll invest it back into art or try to develop a new kind of aerodynamic baked bean that flies better when you hurl it at a photographer - but the main thing is that it keeps Hugh Grant so busy that he doesn't get the chance to make any more films for a while.
