Sci-Fi writer Michael Crichton died yesterday at age 66 after a private battle with cancer. In all the furore over the elections the passing of this well known author has received very little mention in today’s press.
Crichton was best known for scary stories of science gone wrong in popular books like The Andromeda Strain and Jurassic Park.
Full story here.

Now excuse me while I go pick my tongue up off the floor.
Do you have one? That list of freebies you get to enjoy guilt free, should the opportunity ever arise.
This was a topic of intrigue around a high table at 3am in the morning at the Kilkenny Cat Laughs festival. The usuals came up – George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansen, Jessica Beil. Surprisingly Angelina didn’t get a look in with the boys. Dawn French featured twice – score one for the curvy gal!
The oh-so-important issue was raised today briefly on Today FM and never one to miss an opportunity to blog about absolute pap I thought I’d go with this one.
Mine? It’s pretty much a long established list perhaps with the exception of Hugh Laurie. But after watching 4 series of House over no more than a three week period -how could I not include him?
Josh Duhamel, Will Smith, Ray D’Arcy, David Tennant, Henry Cavil(from The Tudors….Annie……Strings?) Just potting it out there. Josh Hartnett, Sean Connery(I so would) and Mr. Laurie.

I know i have been a bit blog heavy today – but I couln’t let this story pass without a word of mourning.
Actress Estelle Getty, better known as Sophia from The Golden Girls died peacfully this morning surrounded by her friends and family. She was 84. I thought she aws 84 in 1992 when Golden Girls ended.
In her long life Estelle won an Emmy (after 7 nominations) and a Golden Globe fr playing the sharp witted Sophia, mother of Doreathy in Golden Girls.
So here’s to Estelle:
Sophia: I need the money for my old age.
Dorothy: Old age? You don’t leave fingerprints anymore.
Rose: I just had a thought…
Sophia,: Congratulations
Rose: Sophia, why are you in such a bad mood?
Sophia: Excuse me Rose, but I haven’t had sex in fifteen years and its starting to get on my nerves.
Blanche: We just rented that movie Aliens, it scared us half to death.
Sophia: I found it scary too. That Sigourney Weaver is a sweet girl but she really shouldn’t go without makeup.
Blanche: I treat my body like a temple.
Sophia: Yeah, open to everyone, day or night
Blanche: I have writer’s block. It’s the worst feeling in the world.
Sophia: Try ten days without a bowel movement sometime.
Sofia dies a Little
Batman star Christian Bale was arrested today by detectives in the UK investigating claims he assaulted two family members.
The Hollywood actor was being questioned by police at a central London police station.
Bale is alleged to have lashed out at his mother and sister i his suite at Park Lane’s Dorchester Hotel on Sunday.
I came across this picture of Amy Winehouse in my preparation of my “The Curves Have It” post.
She looks positively radiant in comparison to the photos we see in the newspapers today of a bedraggled drug-induced skeletor.
It’s such shame that fame has effected her in this way as she has such an outstanding talent.
She will be playing on the Main Stage in Oxygen at the weekend and if someone had said to me two-years ago that I would have an opportunity to see Amy preform I would have jumped at the chance. Now, after so many dismal reports and the mortifying MTV performance, I will be shaking my stuff over by Declan O’Rourke rather than waiting to see if she can get her act together.
Wohoo! Victory for the curvy girl.
According to a recent survey in More Magazine the skinny size 0’s add up to a big fat nothing. The British magazine surveyed over 2000 men asking them to nominate their favourite celeb body. And the results are in:
Best Girlys
And the Worst …
