Bryan Adams becomes official royal photographer.

I preferred it when Kim Wilde took up gardening.

If it stops him from singing, I hope he makes a big success of it.

His nineties hits were some of the most revolting music ever produced.

huzzah - someone 'answers' one of my new 'questions' at last. I'm not sure if he's retired as a singer or not.

i fucking hope celine dion becomes his assistant.

Ms Deon has a 71 million dollar contract to do 200 gigs at one of the casinos in Vegas. Just avoid there and you should be ok.

Gareth from Pop Idol is going to become an OPERA IDOL if he does not win (which I hope he doesn't cos WILL is the best) and go to study Mewsic in Mans Chest Hair. He's got grade 8 in his 'instruments' don't you know. BIG DEAL GARETH SO DO I!

― Sarah, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NO NO Sarah, Gareth is best, I have just spent the last hour trying to convince my colleagues of this fact, Will is a terrifying ApeMan and is rubbish and for grannies.

― Emma, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, but you are not the housewive's choice.

― N., Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That was directed at Sarah, not Emma. Not that she is the housewive's choice either.

Said to me at party on Saturday: "Will is so talented. I really think he could be the next Harry Connick Jr."

Followed swiftly by "There's too much emphasis on looks. They should be looking for someone with real talent, like Billy Joel. I think he's a genius."

Surely time for TRIG IDOL btw.

Will's mouth looks like Jack Nicholson's Joker mouth in Batman.

I long for a day when Darius will return to kill the big chinned monkey man freak and the excruciating stuttery boy tomato.

― Ally C, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That reminds me of an early review of the Smiths that went off on a long convoluted gushing eulogy, ending up with "And for that reason alone, they may end up being as important as The Police"

Hopefully by bludgeoning the fuckers with that cane he had the other week.

Fantastic Darius fact - learned from Smash Hits which is why I read it rather than edgy fash mags btw - his brother is called CYRUS. Ancient history ruleXoR! Does he have a sister called Artemisia??

― Tom, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The level of upset caused by everyone's anti-Gareth remarks makes me think my colleagues were right and he is indeed bringing out my maternal instinct.

PS Many housewives think I'm bloody marvellous I'll have you know.

― Emma, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Why Tom I believe there's someone on this very board with Cyrus for a middle name.

― Emma, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cyrus is one of my middle names. My dad wanted to make it my first name but my mum reined in the fool. It's cause I'm half Parsee, innit. It was quite cool until the early 90s, when everyone started saying "Wot. Like BILLY RAY? HA HA HA!"

― N., Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha ha Billy Ray Cyrus.

I wasn't saying it was a stupid name I just thought it was hardcore to call your sons after not one but two rulers of the Medes and Persians (poor old Medes eh).

― Tom, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Fantastic CYRUS fact: my dad's girlfriend is the headteacher of a posh Glasgow school and turned him away FOR BEING TOO THICK. Darius, however, was clever enough to receive a good education there. And look where it has got him.

― Ally C, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What it is with this new breed of posh, highly educated pop stars? It must be stopped in its tracks. VOTE GARETH THE IDIOT MALE INGENUE.

― N., Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― Jonnie, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That was my impression of Gareth.

― Jonnie, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What with the whole Darius name thing, the question presents itself:

Gareth = Alexander The Great?

― Ally C, Friday, 8 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cyrus Dastoor would have been a fantastic name, it sounds like the name of a Scooby Doo villain which of course would be more apt.

― NicoLars, Friday, 8 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nah - definate elements of Daphne Du Maurier

― Anna, Friday, 8 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

gotta admit - billy ray had style in mulholland drive
