I tried to come up with a proper name for this, I really did. But “Random Ali Larter pictures” it’ll have to be. See – she’s as surprised as I am.

Today's Joanna Page
Today’s Joanna Page: the iTunes festival
Just to mix it up a bit with Today’s Joanna Page, here’s a picture (or two) from her visit to the iTunes music festival, where she managed to avoid falling asleep while being interviewed by Peaches Geldof – although Peaches clearly wishes she’d taken her Ritalin before having to do an actual, you know, like job for a change.
Here’s JP miming a spinning class from when she joined a gym.
You can watch the full interview below on YouTube. Try not to throw a brick at your monitor whenever Peaches is on-screen.
You know, I will get round to a proper look at Miss Julie and This Year’s Love, one day. I’m not just stalling for time, honest.
Sitting Tennant
Today’s Sitting Tennant (from Rullsenberg): Love in the 21st Century.
As we head towards the end of the year and the unveiling of the winners of the 2008 Sitting Tennant Awards (any ideas what the prizes should be?), there’s now everything to play for and some people are playing for it very hard.
Today’s Sitting Tennant, for example, comes from a big stack that Ms Rullsenberg has sent me, meaning she’s opening up a lead on Ms Rosby that seemed unthinkable just a few weeks ago – we might even have enough for a Sitting Tennant advent calendar this week. It comes from Love in the 21st Century and clearly involves a Land of the Giants crossover, judging by the laptop DT is using.
As a result, the Sitting Tennant picture competition table now stands as follows:
- Rullsenberg: 9.5
- Rosby: 8
- Persephone: 6.5
- Toby: 5
- Poly, Scott: 3.5
- Jane: 2.5
- Anna, Electric Dragon: 1.5
- Marie: 1
The Witty And Amusing Captions league table sees Toby recover a very small portion of his old lead over Marie thanks to some extreme captioning, in a round that also saw a surprising number of back-related captions:
- Toby: 24
- Marie: 22
- Jane Henry: 15
- Rullsenberg: 14
- Persephone: 12
- Rev, Electric Dragon: 5
- Stu_N: 2
- Poly, Andrea: 1
As always, captions and new submissions for the gallery, please. Remember, you can submit as many (witty) captions as you like for each and every picture, with topical captions getting extra marks – as do pictures of David Tennant in current productions.
The final Sitting Tennant of 2008 will be on December 23rd when the results will be announced.
Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. You can also enter the witting and amusing captions league table by commenting on existing photos in the gallery.
