Hecklerspray's Matthew Laidlow recently applied for a job at a magazine, not knowing that it was to be edited by Peaches Geldof as part of an MTV reality TV show. The following is a true story...
Firstly, let's be clear - nobody told me that I was going going for a job on a reality TV show or that Peaches Geldof was going to be the editor. Both these factors would have put me off straight away.
So here is my story of how I almost worked with the stupidly-named celebrity wannabe Peaches Geldof.
Every wondered what it's like to have sex with Guy Ritchie? Us neither - in fact, we've spent much of our lives actively avoiding that exact thought.
But Madonna doesn't care. She's got an album coming out soon and she knows that nothing shifts CDs quite like intimate discussions of grubby sexual encounters with obnoxious mockneys, not matter how much they make your skin crawl.
For the record, Madonna says that Guy Ritchie is 'incredible' at sex - but before you get too excited, remember that some other things Madonna finds incredible include age-inappropriate leotards, scripts for poor erotic thrillers, Naomi Campbell's vagina, Andrew Lloyd-Webber musicals and made-up religions. It's hardly a group you'd want to be associated with, is it?
You might know Envy & Other Sins as the band from that Mobile Act Unsigned show, but they're not just your average reality TV gonks.
This month sees the release of the debut Envy & Other Sins album We Leave At Dawn, a vital-sounding collection of English pop helmed by Coldplay's producer. We aren't sure what the other sins in the band's name are, but they probably include slavery and not cleaning up afterwards when your dog craps in the park.
We asked Jim from Envy & Other Sins the same questions we ask everybody else, and this is how he answered...
You've seen Lindsay Lohan's tits, now she wants you see her soul - but it's OK, because it's less alarmingly freckly.
That's right, Lindsay Lohan has done a magazine interview all about the impossible darkness of her last 12 months.
It's an important interview because it marks the first time that Lindsay Lohan has publicly prattled on about herself in, ooh, roughly about six or seven minutes. Plus she's kept her clothes on for this one, so your retinas aren't as likely to snap off and run for freedom this time.
Remember when Reese Witherspoon got divorced from Ryan Phillippe and everyone thought it was because he was boning that other girl?
Us too, but it turns out that everyone was wrong about it - because Ryan Phillippe has just been interviewed in W Magazine and he revealed that he was so cut up about divorcing his vastly more successful wife that he literally didn't get out of bed for five months.
Also, according to Ryan Phillippe, "an outside person can never cause a divorce." So, lads, remember to keep that argument in mind for when your wife catches you boning other women. We hear that one's watertight from a legal perspective.
There's something we've missed since Lindsay Lohan got clean and left rehab, apart from all the shrieking and the cocaine-trousered DUI arrests, obviously.
And that's that Lindsay Lohan just doesn't give as many boneheaded magazine interviews that show a total absence of any self-awareness these days. But at least she knows about it, and she's trying to do something about it.
In her first post-rehab interview, Lindsay Lohan has said that most people thinks she doesn't know where her head is even though actually she does. Sigh. That's good crackpot Lindsay Lohan, but not great crackpot Lindsay Lohan.
