Phillip Schofield....

Yes exactly! What is there to say about Mr Schofield?! Well, as avid listeners of the show will already know each week we have the 'BIG question 2': Who's better 'The Silver Fox' AKA Phillip Schofield or 'The Box' AKA Simon Cowell?


Now...if you look at my past posts you'll see there've been a number of posts about The Box but none about The Silver Fox and this has got me in trouble with the other ladies on the show. So, what can I say about Mr Schofield?


Well....I typed his name into some well known search engines to try to find some recent stories about him....and came up with nothing! Zilch! Now according to Laura, he may have 'nice teeth, nice hair and a nice smile' but sadly that's where it ends for him. He's boring and in no way better than The Box.


Although looking at recent pics of both The Silver Fox and The Box I came up with a startling discovery. They are very similar in looks! In fact: I think Mr Cowell may even turn into Mr Schofield when he's older! Check out the pics for yourselves and decide!



I told you! Almost like they're twins! You heard it here first people!

Top ten "buzzwords" of 2008

For this week's top ten, I decided to look at the top ten buzzwords of the year so far according to TIME magazine.... Yes these are apparently going to be the words on the tips of everybody's tongues for the next few months or so although how successful they'll actually be, I'm not so sure! I think maybe you should decide for yourself;

1. COUGAR: An older woman who romantically pursues younger men. This one's funny. Imagine someone calling you a Cougar because you have a toy boy! Nice!

2. SURGE: Used to describe the influx of American troops into Iraq in January e.g. "Is the surge working?". Nothing really to say about this one.

3. PREVIVOR: Someone who doesn't have cancer but does have pre-cancerous cells or a genetic mutation which increases the risk of developing it: a pre-survivor. I'm not really sure how they came up with this one! I can't really imagine going into a hospital and a doctor calling you a 'previvor'.

4. POPCORN LUNG: A rare, life-threatening lung disease that can be caused by inhaling a chemical used in butter flavoring. Watch out for that popcorn people! And you thought it was just an innocent cinema snack!

5. COLBERT BUMP: Similar to the Oprah effect on book sales, the boost in popularity ratings a political candidate gets after appearing on The Colbert Report (some American chat show, I'm guessing!) I don't think this one's ever going to catch on here! The 'Jonathon Ross Bump' doesn't quite have the same ring to it!

6. GRASS STATION: Used to describe the newer alternatives to today's fossil fueled petrol (or if you're in America, gas) station. These include ethanol, biofuels and apparently even grass! Imagine saying ' I'm just nipping to the grass station, dear!' Umm no!

7. LOCAVORE: The word describes the growing trend of eating fresh, locally grown ingredients. Where the actual word comes from I don't have a clue! Anyone know?! And in what context would you use it? 'Are you a Locavore?!' :S

8. BACN: No it's nothing to do with the pig product! The term describes news alerts and other e-mails we sign up for but never actually get around to reading! This one could actually work, when you think about spam - it's a similar idea which caught on quite quickly.

9. VAJAYJAY: This word is used as an alternative to vagina. Apparantly it was made popular in Grey's Anatomy because the network didn't want to use the real word. Yeah, because I'm sure that really worked in a serious medical drama!

10. Freegan: A combination of the words "free" and "vegan," the term describes an anti-consumer who shuns mainstream consumerism and even 'Dumpster dives' for clothing and other essentials! Classy! Basically this just refers to the people that are too tight to buy things themselves!

So there you have the top ten buzzwords of the year! Check out some of the other top tens at the Time Website: http://http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/top10/0,30576,1686204,00.html So Are you going to be dropping "Popcorn lung" or "Bacn" into conversation anytime soon? Hmm, me neither!

Sacha Baron Cohen in trouble again...!

Now you may have thought Mr Baron Cohen might have had enough of terrorising the Yanks after Borat but it seems not. His latest creation, camp Austrian TV reporter Bruno isn't proving a hit the other side of the pond either.


The comic was in Kansas filming the mockumentary, which typically saw the TV presenter interacting with locals. But it seems they weren't his biggest fans when it came to his dress sense! In particular it seems they weren't too impressed when it came to his tight hot pants! I wonder why not?!

Local newspapers reported that a "European man" was "putting security on red alert" by "stripping down to tight shorts and dancing in the lobby of Wichita Airport". Even the thought of it's making me smile!

But was terrorising the nation with little, little shorts enough for the funnyman? Of course not! They then decided to interrupt an Easter play in Kansas whilest wearing.....chains! Oops!

I think that documentary is definitely going to be a must-see when it's released!

SKINS cast axed...!

Yes SKINS fans you read that right!

It's been confirmed that the entire SKINS cast have been axed ahead of the third series of the hit drama! Why, I hear you ask!?

Well apparently it was always planned to swap the cast around once every two years to keep the drama "fresh and exciting". So there you have it. But aren't the producers worried they could be making a terrible mistake? Brian Elsley, the execuctive producer, thinks not.

"There are risks associated with dumping a cast, but it's exciting - we never stand still and we can tell stories in a new way."

So get ready for a brand new series of the hit drama probably next year and in the mean time get ready to say a sad farewell to your old favourites!

Cowell a softie after all...!

Ah yes, this post is certainly going to go in Mr Cowell's favour and maybe even earn 'The Box' a few extra votes in the poll!

Simon Cowell may be starting to shed that nasty, uncaring image! He's just paid off the mortgage of a US couple who are struggling to pay for their daughter's cancer treatment.
Madeline Stoen's parents were struggling to pay the £80,000 debt because they had to travel 100 miles everyday to visit their daughter in hospital.

Cowell said he knew he had to help and has now promised to be three year old Madeline's "guardian angel". And it seems this might not be the end of Mr Cowell's generosity....

"I never knew doing good could feel so good"

So there you have it! Proof if ever I saw it that I've been right to fight in 'The Box's' corner for all these weeks! Listen into the next show to try and hear the girls fight for the 'Silver Fox' Phillip Schofield now!

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner!

The ten ways you know he loves you...(apparently!)

Following the rather sad news that one in three men would ditch a lover who made them miss a footie match...I started to wonder what men would actually do to prove their love for us!

Apparently just because guys aren't constantly professing their love for us, it doesn't mean they aren't thinking it! Hmm, right! So what are things to look out for? What are the sly clues? Well here's the top ten I found, although I'm not so sure how accurate they are!

1. He wears that nasty horrible flowery shirt you bought him out of sheer love, even though his mates completely rip him apart!

2. He'll miss footie on a Saturday afternoon to come shopping with you! (Like I said earlier, I don't think this one actually ever happens!)

3. When you go round to his house you'll find Marmite in his cupboards, even though he hates the brown gloopy stuff!

4. He invites you on a lad's night out, even though you know he'd hate you to go!

5. He introduces you to his parents before he's even met yours! Eeeek!

6. He agrees to attend a Take That concert with you! (You know he secretly adores that Mark Owen really!)

7. He chooses a mini break in Venice with you over a lad's break in Ibiza!

8. He'll wait hours outside Topshop for you while you try every single item on. Twice!

9. He'll hold your hair back when you're being sick. Infront of all his mates!

10. He'll have your extra soppy Valentines Card on display in his room, next to his Alicia Cuthbert poster!

So there you have the top ten clues that show he actually loves you! How true this actually is I'm not sure but keep checking back to this page to hear our latest guest Tim Malone try to convince us he's the perfect boyfriend.....even if he did forget his girlfriend's birthday!!

Simon Cowell (AKA "The Box") : the new face of Viagra?

Oh yes! The high-waisted trouser man himself has been reportedly offered £1 million, yes that's £1 million! to be the new face of the sex drug!

And his response?

"I just said, 'Sorry, that'd be a f******* insult!'"

That'd be a thumbs down then! But Viagra isn't the only reason Mr Cowell has been in the news this week! He has revealed the reason why he still hasn't popped the question to his long suffering girlfriend of 5 years, Terri!

"The truth is that you get married and in a year or two they clean you out! It's just not going to work."

Hang on a second! Surely he's just accused his girlfriend of 5 years (!) of being a golddigger?!!

Now I think Mr Cowell is very charming man (when he wants to be!) but if he accused me of being a golddigger! I'd be out of there in a second! I mean, just how insulting does he want to be to the poor girl?!

I think Simon may have to start looking for a new girlfriend again very soon!
Oh dear me!

Robbie Williams is quitting Pop to be a "Ufologist!"

Stoke's most famous pop star Robbie Williams claims he has seen UFO's 3 times in his life. Robbie "swears" his seen the objects both in Britain and in Beverley Hills. And the singer has even gone as far as to say he's going to quit music to become a "fulltime Ufologist!" In my opinion, the sooner the better!

I can't say what it is in particular I don't like about the man! Perhaps it's his pure arrogance or the fact he basically destroyed my favourite boyband of the 90's or it might be that he simply looks like he might smell (in my opinion!) Either way I don't think it's a great loss to the British music scene!

Now to end this post with a quote from the man himself:

"People will think I'm mental, which I am!"

Enough said!

Sex: Only tenth most popular bedtime activity?!?!

Yes, you read that right! According to some survey sex is only the tenth most popular thing to do in bed! But what, I hear you ask, could come above that?! Well here's the top 10 but how accurate it is I'm not sure! :

1. Sleep
2. Talking
3. TV
4. Net Surfing
5. Reading
6. Listening to music
7. Using Phone
8. Work
9. Computer games
10. Sex

So there we have it! Apparantly we're a nation which would rather play computer games and do work in bed, than have sex!

Please can I have some feedback on this one! Surely we can't be that boring?!
