I normally don’t watch The Paul O’Grady Show although I do think it is good family enertainment (in this heterosexual world we gay people live in).
However three big celebs that inspire me (see People that inspire me) where on. Dawn French was the guest host and both John Barrowman and Whoopi Goldbery where guests.
You can view it on you tube:
Happy Watching,

Quite sometime ago I saw the trailer for Confessions of a Shopaholic (see A chick flick?). They have finally give a realise date: Wednesday 18th February 09. I shall be going to see it as soon as possible. I have read all of Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic books that the film is based on and love them.
Here’s a trailer:
What do you think? Will you be seeing it? Post a comment.
The books by Sophie Kinsella:
David and I went watching Slumdog Millionaire at the weekend. Here is some info about the film:
Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik (Patel), an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India¹s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”
But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika (Pinto), the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show¹s questions.
Each chapter of Jamal¹s increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show¹s seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show?
When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out.

And here’s a trailer:
I would highly recommend it. I made scared, cry, laugh, happy, and feel all sorts of other emotions. But most of all it made me contemplate the poverty of the slums.

Hi All,
David and I spent the whole weekend together this weekend. We had our chat and discussed the arguement (see Job Interview & David).
Then David played to me. He played some wonderful romantic music on the keyboard, including some of my favourite love songs. He is soo talented. He can listen to a tune and copy it exactually, knowing which notes (or what ever they are!) to key. I was simply in Awe of him.
After the wonderful romance we decided to head out to the cinemas. We watched Yes Man. Truth be told I though it would be a re-take of Liar, Liar. However I was to be pleasantly supprised.
Jim Carrey stars as a single, middle aged man, who works in a bank and spends his life saying No. He spends his time sat on the sofa watching DVD’s. Then some how he manages to end up at a YES conference. He ends up making a covenet to say yes to everything.
Throughout it was none-stop-laughter, so I would highly recommend it. It makes you think about being open to new experiences and opportunities as well. (Although I wouldn’t necessarily want to have a 80 year old woman offer me a sexual favour and have to say yes.)
Write soon,
Antony
