Dorothy’s Friends<br />
I rarely bother with the facebook<br />
messages, urging me to click and paste,<br />
if I have ever suffered from depression,<br />
or know someone who’s had cancer, MS.<br />
ME, Heart disease, ingrowing toenails<br />
etc.<br />
However one caught my eye, earlier this<br />
week, when in celebration of the 80 th<br />
anniversary of the fabulous Wizard of OZ<br />
movie, I was invited to google, the film’s<br />
title and click on the red shoes to the<br />
right, after which I would be spun into a<br />
world of sepia search results much like<br />
Dorothy’s version of Kansas.<br />
Now, as a confirmed ‘Friend of Dorothy’,<br />
who knows all the words of Somewhere<br />
Over The Rainbow, I couldn’t resist the<br />
instructions and followed them to a tee.<br />
And there it was ….. A little sepia tornado,<br />
that took me back to being a small child<br />
again for a few seconds. Aaaahhhh ……. If I only had a brain!<br />

TRAVOLTA GAFFES AGAIN<br />
You would think award show<br />
organisers would tread carefully<br />
when choosing John Travolta to<br />
present one of their prizes, but hey no,<br />
they still keep on wheeling him out.<br />
He once provided one of the most<br />
memorable moments in award show<br />
history when he introduced ‘Frozen’<br />
performer Idina Menzel as ‘Adele<br />
Dazeem’ at the 2014 Oscars and at this<br />
week’s MTV VMA awards, he made<br />
another blooper.<br />
The veteran actor appeared confused<br />
when presenting an award to Taylor<br />
Swift and instead attempted to hand<br />
the award to a lookalike drag queen,<br />
Jade Jolie, who impersonates the star<br />
and appeared in the LGBTQ themed<br />
video for her recent ‘You Need to Calm<br />
Down’ single.<br />
Ironically, Travolta had been so<br />
anxious about reading out the winner<br />
of the award at the VMAs that he asked<br />
his co-presenter Queen Latifah to read<br />
it out because he would “f**k it up”.<br />
You sure did, John!<br />
J ade or<br />
Taylor?<br />
NOEL’S IN THE CUPBOARD<br />
As far as sibling spats are concerned,<br />
you’d be hard pushed to find a more bitter<br />
one than the one between the Gallagher<br />
brothers, that’s been simmering along on<br />
medium heat for the past decade.<br />
Yes, it’s been ten years, since Noel,<br />
walked out on Oasis, effectively finishing<br />
the band off after an eighteen-year<br />
career at the top of the charts.<br />
Since then, the brothers have been<br />
locked in a bitter feud, and have made no<br />
secret of it either and that doesn’t look<br />
set to change any time soon.<br />
Speaking on The Chris Moyles Show on<br />
Radio X, after he was reminded of the<br />
Hatton Ribeyed<br />
I remember Mykonos, which I first<br />
visited back in the early eighties<br />
on a Greek Island hopping trip, as<br />
a fantastic, slightly arty, very gay<br />
friendly, cosmopolitan hideaway,<br />
which although not as cheap as some<br />
of its neighbouring islands, was still<br />
affordable for backpackers.<br />
Skip forward thirty-five years and that<br />
tranquil piece of paradise, sits firmly at<br />
the top of the celebrity holiday charts,<br />
with eye watering prices to match.<br />
Reading this week about, boxer Ricky<br />
Hatton’s extortionate bill for a piece of<br />
steak in one of the island’s tavernas, I<br />
don’t know whether I’m more shocked<br />
about the price of the meat, or the fact<br />
the gobshite Mancunian actually goes<br />
on holiday to Mykonos.<br />
Look at the items on the bill and tell<br />
significant anniversary by the DJ, the<br />
singer, 46, said: “I know. Shame on him.<br />
I wonder where he is in the world. I bet<br />
he’s hiding in a cupboard somewhere in a<br />
really dark room.”<br />
“Mate, you can’t believe it? I can’t believe<br />
it, mate. All was good in the world back<br />
then.<br />
“Ten years ago, all was good in the world,<br />
and now it’s all went, you know… But I<br />
think we’re doing alright again, so it’s all<br />
good in the world.”<br />
Not taking sides, but I must say I prefer<br />
Noel’s new stuff with High Flying Birds,<br />
than Liam’s, but that’s just me.<br />
I’ll just have<br />
an espresso<br />
me honestly whether Hatton could tell<br />
the difference between a 490€ bottle<br />
of Dom Perignon, or a bottle of Tesco<br />
Prosecco ….. and as for paying 920€ for<br />
a steak? Don’t even go there!<br />
Ed<br />
Break<br />
We don’t<br />
speak<br />
fter performing 260 shows on an<br />
unbroken worldwide tour over the last<br />
two years, Ed Sheeran has emotionally<br />
announced he’s having an eighteen<br />
month break from touring.<br />
Don’t blame you Ed and seeing as the<br />
tour has reportedly grossed just less<br />
Ed’s<br />
breaking up<br />
than 900 million dollars, making it<br />
the highest figure ever, beating U2’s<br />
last record topping tour by a cool 40<br />
million dollars, I’m guessing you’ll<br />
have a few bob to keep the wolf from<br />
the door over the next couple of years,<br />
mate.
