Simon & Hobbes

Simon Pegg's ubiquity continues. After my previous post on this subject he subsequently appeared on the Brit awards, the Jonathon Ross radio show & Top Gear. Not content with dominating the TV and Radio medium, there was also a trailer for his new film before Hot Fuzz. How does he manage to get everything done? It's like the Calvin & Hobbes cartoon where Calvin creates a Duplicator to clone himself so that the clones can do all his chores, homework etc. Of course it all ends with the clones fighting each other so expect to see footage of a riot featuring hundreds of Simon Pegg clones on the news soon.
Alternatively Pegg may use all his clones to star in a remake of the Michael Keaton flick Multiplicity. It's the next step to world dominance.

It's good to see that Craig Bellamy has returned to his normal ways. After clinching the "dream move" to "his boyhood idols" Liverpool, it looked like Bellamy may actually settle down and concentrate on his football. This proved to be short lived.
After a Liverpool training camp in Portugal, Bellamy has been fined 2 weeks wages for an altercation with John Arne Riise. Allegedly Bellamy attacked Riise with a golf club and hit him over the legs with it.
Riise's crime to inspire this rage? Refusing to join in with the karaoke despite Bellamy's repeated requests.....

Just how far up his own arse has Preston from the Ordinary Boys gone since he appeared on celebrity Big Brother? Let's look at the evidence:
1) When asked how he felt about alienating the hard core Ordinary Boys fans after his Big Brother appearance, Preston replied with he didn't care. He felt these fans were holding them back and they thought the band was something it wasn't. So he is attacking the fans who bought his records when no one else cared. If it wasn't for these fans then no one would have ever heard of Preston or his band and he would probably be stacking shelves in his local Tesco.
2)He appeared on TV to sing his latest song whilst holding a small dog. Does he think he is Paris Hilton?
3)He walked off Nevermind the Buzzcocks after host Simon Amstell read out passages from his wife's book. Bear in mind these passages were very poorly written and therefore very amusing. Also Preston was wearing a sparkly silver top and had refused to join in any of the banter up until that point. If you go on Buzzcocks you have to expect to get a bit of a slagging.
All this seems to point to the fact that a visit to the proctologists may be required.
