Udo Kier proved actors could be openly gay and still have incredible careers. His piercing blue eyes will be missed on screen. Goodbye to a legend.

Twenty people call spade a spade but spade insists it's a rake. Who's telling the truth?

Helped one of our sites beat some all-time sales records today. What's the opposite of imposter syndrome? I'd say my ego is inflated but I also face-planted the front door.

Cynthia Erivo's version of No Good Deed is superior to the original. Patiently waiting for the soundtrack so I can hear that one again.

No serious screenwriter would be having this problem (or anyone working on Bond in general), so I assume the 'insider' they spoke to is talking absolute bollocks to drum up interest and discussion. I guess there'll be some real Bond news soon 🤔

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Wicked: For Good premiere day has arrived! 🥳 I've even dressed in green and pink for the occasion. It's been a while since I got to attend a premiere. It's always a little exciting.

My colleagues just told me I'm becoming more flamboyant every year. I fear I'll soon turn into Nathan Lane's character from The Birdcage.

There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system.
Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts
Spending is controlled, not spiralling
Worklessness is near record lows
