Good Week, Bad Week

posted: 25 January 2008 by Jim Butler

Some might say there's turbulence in the world's financial markets, but, boy-oh-boy, that's nothing compared to the fickle finger of fate that's at work in the minefield known as celebrity...

So who's been good and who's been bad in celebland this week? Let's have a peek...

Up
Johnny Depp
Quite possibly the coolest man alive, Mr Depp doesn't have to visit hospitals, donate money to numerous charities and scribble his name on pieces of paper for his many fans. But he does. And that makes him a stand-up guy.

Ellen Page
Hot, young newcomer Ellen Page has already been marked out for great things thanks to her starring role in the superb Juno, but now she's bagged an Oscar nomination too. Jealous, us?

Charlize Theron & Christopher Walken
This super cool duo have been named as this year's recipients of Harvard University's Hasty Pudding award. No, it's not for services to the fast food desert industry, rather it honours their contribution to the world of entertainment. Students, eh?


Down
Cheryl Cole
To read that your bloke has been supposedly playing hide the sausage with someone else can't have been nice for the Girls Aloud lass, but imagine Cheryl's feelings when she saw WHO Ashley is rumoured to have made the beast with two backs with. Talk about falling out of the ugly tree. And hitting every branch on the way down...

Antonio Banderas
The sexy Spanish ladies man might be able to get all the sexy senoritas with his sexy Spanish ways but his charm don't have no sway with officious legal types who have ordered him to knock down part of his £5 million house in Marbella.

Heath Ledger
Come on, which ever way you try and spin it, it's not been the best seven days for our Heath...

Jim Butler - In 1996 Jim thought all his Christmases had come at once when Eric Cantona called him ‘mate’. Ten years later he met four-fifths of Girls Aloud. He still can’t decide which event excites him more. In the meantime he whiles away the working day writing and devising content for Channel 4’s mobile portal.
