In the news:

Macaulay Culkin has said that he considered quitting acting and starting a career in sports management.... However he feels there may be some gaps in his knowledge so he has asked Michael Jackson to fill him in!

One of the authors claiming Dan Brown's bestseller The Da Vinci Code copied his ideas has admitted he exaggerated his case in an interview with a journalist.... What? Why are they so surprised that he exaggerated? He's a fiction novelist! Making things up is his job.

And good news for any parents wanting a free private education
A TOP fee-paying school is scouring the globe to offer a free place to a student named Peyton. Brighton College turned its attention abroad after contacting all 600 Peytons in the UK telephone book. It wants to provide the scholarship after being left a six-figure sum by expupil Derek Wakehurst Peyton who died in 2002.
... Now how much does it cost to change a name by deed poll?

... So I am now listening to Koocachoo by Kylie. It's on the light years album

No-one else l know can thrill me like you do
I only ever want to go-go dance with you
You're the dream girl of my bedroom poster
Now we're on a roller coaster ride
You're the greatest gift that l could ever wish for
And there's not a single thing l wouldn't give for
A little time with you, my koocachoo
'cause l'm so in love with you
No-one else can take me to the highs like you
You show me all the colours when l'm feeling blue
You're the brightest shining lights on Broadway
Pink in evening sunsets every day
You're the greatest gift that l could ever wish for
And there's not a single thing l wouldn't give for
A little time with you, my koocachoo
'cause l'm so in love with you
Even at night when l'm sIeeping
You are all l'm ever dreaming of
You're the greatest gift that l could ever wish for
And there's not a single thing l wouldn't give for
A little time with you, my koocachoo 'cause l'm so in love with you
