What have you been watching this week?

A new thing for the blog, which if it pans out could become a weekly Friday feature: What have you been watching this week?

The idea here is simple. Rather than having me gas on about what I’ve been watching, as I normally do, you tell me what you’ve been watching and would recommend to other people (or would recommend other people didn’t watch) – if you’re feeling radical, you can recommend/unrecommend books or movies, too.

This needn’t be a full review, mind: a line or two may do. But if you fancy a full review or you’ve reviewed your recommendation/anti-recommendation on your own blog, you can always leave a link to that too, preferably with a brief explanation of the show so people know why they should go read your review.

What do people think? Is this a goer or a dumb idea?

Today's Joanna Page

Joanna Page hosting the Paul O’Grady show in April

Exciting news from Mark at comedy.org.uk which I’ve negligently forgotten to blogroll until now. Somehow he spotted the occasional Joanna Page theme to the blog and has been kind enough to let me know that Joanna Page is  going to be hosting The Paul O’Grady Show for a one-off special in April, being recorded a week on Monday:

200903200951.jpgStepping into THE PAUL O’GRADY SHOW hot seat for one afternoon in March will be JOANNA PAGE, star of the BBC’s hilarious GAVIN & STACEY! As always, there will be a feast of teatime treats, some of the biggest names in showbiz as guests and Paul’s regular ‘family’ of reporters from all around the nation.

This special one-off show is pre-recorded for broadcast in April, when Paul will take his well-deserved break during the series.

RECORDING ON Monday 30th March @ 12.30pm, The London Studios, Upper Ground, SE1 9LT

Watch out for Scarlet Johansson: she’s a clone

This must be true – it came by email:

IT IS NOT A SPAM, but if you received that message second and plus time JUST CLICK DELETE button and have a nice day.

Don’t feel bad, please understand original Scarlett’s family very desperate to shut down that humiliating antichristian “actress” clones line career development. Hello dear Ladies and Gentlemen! I would like inform you that Scarlett Johansson ?actress? actually is a clone from original person Scarlett Galabekian last name, who has nothing with acting career, surname Galabekian, because of adoption happened in 1992. Clones was created illegally by using stolen biological material. Original person is very nice (not d**n sexy),most important – CHRISTIAN young lady! I’ll tell you more,those clones (it’s not only one) made in GERMANY – world leader manufacturer of humans clones, it is in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Rhineland-Palatinate, Mr. Helmut Kohl home town. You can not even imaging the scale of the cloning activity. But warning! Helmut Kohl clone staff strictly controlling all their clones (at least they trying) spreading around the world, they are very accurate with that, some of them are still NAZI type disciplined and mind controlled clones, so be careful get close with clones you will be controlled as well. Original person is not happy with those movies, images, video, rumors and etc. spreading on media in that way it would be really nice if we all will try slow down that ”actress” career development, original Scarlett will really appreciated that. Please remember that original Scarlett’s family did not authorize any activity with stolen biological materials, no matter what form it was created in it was stolen and it is stolen. It all need to be delivered to authorize personals control in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Original Scarlett never was engaged, by the way! Her close friend Serge G. P.S. CONTROLLING ACTIVITY OF ANY CLONES IS US MILITARY OPERATION. Check also here:

H.R. 534, the Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2003, was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives on February 5, 2003. After discussion, it was passed on February 27 by a vote of 241-155. It now moves on to the Senate for consideration. This bill makes it unlawful for any person or entity to perform or participate in human cloning, or to ship or receive embryos produced by human cloning. The penalties are imprisonment of up to 10 years and fines of $1 million or more. These now join other nations as diverse as Norway, Australia, and many other countries, which had already added cloning for any purpose to their criminal code. And in Germany where it carries a penalty of five years imprisonment they know a thing or two about unethical science.

You have been warned: The Island was fact, not fiction.

Random Acts

Random Acts of Ali Larter: sabotaging from within

This week, Ali Larter has been sabotaging from within.

Has she once again been trying to fight back against the beauty industry and to help build self-esteem in pre-teen/teen member of the Girls Scouts of the USA?

Maybe.

Has she been messing with Adrian Pasdar’s head again to confuse him into giving her whatever she asks for?

Maybe.

Or have she and her mum been burning Rachael Ray’s bread rolls again, in an effort to get her shut down for food poisoning and for being very loud?

I hope so. That Rachael Ray’s a menace.

But mainly I suspect it was her idea to destroy the competition at NBC’s SciFi channel by getting them to rebrand as SyFy. Who’d watch a channel called SyFy? Now that’s cunning. Well done, Ali. Good sabotage.
