Joanna Page

News

It’s from Ruth Jones’s forthcoming show, Ruth Jones’s Christmas Cracker, and sees James Corden and Ruth Jones improvising a song in character for a potential Gavin & Stacey musical.

What do you think? Would you like to see that musical? Joanna Page has form, as does Rob Brydon, but can the rest of the cast sing?

Random Acts: Scarlett Johansson sings, Evan Rachel Wood loses a tooth, Amber Heard de-butches lesbians and Joanna Page goes doorstepping

13 September 2011 Rob Buckley Post a comment

So it’s been a very random week for everyone this week. Scarlett Johansson is off drinking champagne with Bollywood stars and petitioning for more screen time in The Avengers so she won’t be a token woman. But she’s also singing duets with LuLu Gainsbourg as well as a virtual Dean Martin.

Meanwhile, not-normally-so-random Evan Rachel Wood has decided to lose a tooth and hit on Amber Heard…

…who’s randomly off filming the USO episode of The Playboy Club and de-butching TV lesbians.

Meanwhile, Joanna Page is filming a documentary about romance in sitcoms for UKTV, praising Swansea and turning up on men’s doorsteps with 56-man Welsh voice choirs to offer them holidays in Wales.

She probably wins for randomness this week.
