Heather Mills has apparently been threatening to do a Diana type expose interview to clarify the breakdown of her marriage. She's already muttered that Paul was too busy wanting to stay home, when she wanted to play party-puss. Whatever happens, she's going to get millions....:

Fans of  The Office will be delighted to hear that Ricky Gervais might be up for recording some new episodes. He and co-writer Stephen Merchant have been delighted with the US version of the show (???) and are wishing now they hadn't said no, nay never....

Hunky Bradley Walsh (Danny Boy Baldwin) is merely 'taking a break' from Corrie.  Debra Stephenson (Frankie) has already decided to sling 'er 'ook, but Walsh is merely off to do something different for the summer:

The Beeb has just launched a $1 million campaign to unleash its 24 hour newscast on the US, with an emphasis on the cool intellectual nature of the BBC reporting style. Nice to have an alternative to CNN bias.

That's all for this week,

I hope to hear from you sometime soon, either in the forum or in response to this email message. I thrive on your feedback.
