Ah, ITV (Britain’s original commercial television network). From their website:
This channel – which has done more than most to build the cult of celebrity – has taken its first step toward atonement by placing a group of celebs (the type who take a bow each time the fridge light goes on) and place them in the Antipodean wilderness.
The programme isI’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, which should be worth watching for the title alone. It’s made my day.
Now, when celebrity Lance Bass shouts, “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here”, it takes on a whole new meaning. Lance, a member of boyband N’Sync, may actually go into space. I thought this was a wind-up when I first heard about it, but apparently not:
He is being sponsored by a consortium of major companies and Hollywood producer David Krieff, and has signed a preliminary contract for the mission – but recent reports have suggested that he has missed deadlines to pay the $20m flight fee.

You know when you don’t go to the cinema for what seems like an age and then you suddenly go quite a lot? No, well, I do this on-off thing with the cinema quite a lot. Yesterday, following on from my Men in Black II experience, I went to see The Guru at The Clapham Picture House (which, if you live in this part of the world, probably ranks as one of the better cinemas and it’s not part of an overly large chain – although there are more of them than you would imagine).
The people I was with loved it. They laughed (a lot). Many people in the cinema were laughing too. I smiled occasionally, and there was the odd laugh, but on the whole I was pretty quiet. So, to validate my lack of enthusiasm for the film (which seems to be generally well received), I got as far as The Guardian’s film site(which, I am sure was Film Unlimited at one point). Peter Bradshaw reassures me with,
There’s no bite or edge to this movie, though; it’s goofy, soft-centred romcom slush, with some very half-hearted Bollywood pastiche”and“… these moments don’t really justify the admission price

Now, I am using the web to reinforce my own opinions. This can’t be a good thing.
