Tonight I was joined by entertainment journalist Luke Blackall to talk through the showbiz week.
Should we feel sorry for Mark Owen? Or are celebrities just FULL of excuses for their bad behaviour? I started the show sick of hearing yet another excuse, his drinking, for his infidelity. However as I spoke to you, and to Pam Steele from www.crisisadvice.co.uk I realised that perhaps he’s just human like the rest of us.
The Eurovision song has been chosen. It’s dreadful. Absolutely dire, as was the TV show that chose it. Are the BBC actually trying to kill the competition? Has Pete Waterman totally lost his skill to write a decent pop hit? Did the BBC find their potential acts on the street? Did you watch and find yourself ashamed to be British? I did! Barry Viniker, who runs www.esctoday.com agreed, as did music journalist Edward Adoo.
Love Never Dies the new Andrew Lloyd Webber show opened this week, to mixed reviews. Roger Foss gave me his, and I asked you when sequels have worked, and when they really didn’t.
And former X factor finalist Diana Vickers joined me to talk about her fantastic new single, so we had a conversation about reality show stars who didn’t win but had a better career than the actual show winners.
I’m back tomorrow night at seven.
