This brings new meaning to the term 'toilet humour'.

After I posted this bit of entertainment last week, I received the following clip from a Japanese prank show. Who knew there was an entire portaloo practical joke genre of TV shows....This one came from Nigel who suggests watching to the end. I agree.

I could watch Jennifer Anniston all day. In fact I may do just that. Join me.

Did you catch all the fascinating and fiesty debate here last week about Jennifer vs Angelina? I read every word and changed my mind several times while reading comments. But if I had to choose between Team Anniston and Team Jolie? I could not. I am a card-carrying member of both. More than any other female celebrities, these two are consistently the ones I'm most keen to read about and look at pictures of (also Gwyneth - common denominator seems to be Women Who Have Slept With Brad Pitt - although not so interested in Juliette Lewis...).
Anyway. In a BEAUTIFUL piece of timing because it's the only TV interview she couldn't possibly cancel. Jen was booked to do Oprah the day after the Vogue interview came out last week. Oprah goes there in a way only Oprah can. And Jennifer comes across magnificently.
 Here's part 1.....part 2 and 3 after the jump.....

You might not want to watch this if your boss or an inquisitive small child is standing behind you.

Earlier this week I told you about how much I love David Sedaris. This week, I want to introduce you to two more people I love. One is Chelsea Handler whose US late night talk show Chelsea Lately is utterly special.
And the other is David Sedaris's sister Amy, who is an actress (Sex & The City) and author and humourist too. Here she is on Chelsea's show last week doing a segment about........ well, it's NSFW.


PHOTOSHOP AWARDS: Who am I?

Is this what's missing from your life?



Marvel with me at the genius that is The Boyfriend Pillow. Over at D-Listed, it was suggested that this might be "the perfect gift for the Jennifer Anniston in your life". The many many many Jen fans who have proudly come out of the woodwork to tell us that they think Angelina is not a goddess but a cow will not be happy with that little joke. I know. Still.

For the animal lovers - and lovers of yoghurt also.

Here is a video of a cat trying to stuff itself into an empty yoghurt box. I've watched it half a dozen times and it still makes me laugh. Sleep deprivation possibly....

My author crush. No matter than he's gay and about four foot tall.

One of my favourite authors is a humourist called David Sedaris. He was recently in Australia and I am bummed that I didn't go to see him at one of his readings because I have all his books and I've read them multiple times. So when I found this clip of David Sedaris on Letterman via Dooce, I had a song in my heart and thought I should share.

Oh listen. That's the sound of me being bowled over.

When I asked for your feedback, I expected a couple dozen responses. I posted this request one evening before I went to (admittedly early) bed and by morning, there were more than 50 comments. They're still coming. As I post this, we're up to 72 comments.

If you haven't left one yet, GO ONNNN, and if you have, feel free to add another one if you've thought of something worth adding in a but-wait-there's-more! kind of way.


It actually makes me wonder why I didn't ask you sooner [kicks self]. Because here's something you should know: bloggers judge themselves not just by the number of hits but also by the number of comments. If I post something and all I hear are crickets, I figure no-one is much interested and question the wisdom of posting something similar in the future. But now I better understand that there are a bunch of silent regulars as well as those who like to roll up their sleeves and get involved.
While reading all your comments, I blushed, felt chuffed and took notes. Many of you said lovely things and I wasn't even fishing for them which makes it even nicer.

This is the ideal looking man and women. Please find a mirror and compare and contrast yourself.

Two plastic surgeons recently did a survey to establish which famous features are the hottest and most-requested among their patients who have too much time, money and vanity on their hands.
Star magazine helpfully created these computer mock-ups of how all those features would look mashed together.

She looks to me a lot like Kathryn Heigl meets Angelina. Him? I'm saying Kd lang meets Leonardo Di Caprio.

Click below for the actual breakdown of features and responsible celebrities. Heck, print it out! Take it to your surgeon! Wheeeee!
