Good Week, Bad Week

posted: 1 February 2008 by Jim Butler

As much as it pains us to say so, not everyone blessed with the gift of celebrity has been jumping for joy this week. Read on, my frisky and furtive celeb lovers, read on...

Up
George Clooney
Gorgeous George cements his all-round good guy image by being named a United Nations peace envoy. Now if he could just have a word in that George in Washington's ear

Alesha Dixon
Crikey! Someone is looking H to the O to the T! Bet old Harvey whatshischops is proper annoyed with his wandering eye now! Quick! Cold shower alert.

Darius Danesh
The man whose surname is completely superfluous will be hoping the magic of Clark Gable rubs off on him after he landed the part of Rhett Butler in the stage production of Gone With The Wind.


Down
David Beckham
Boo-hoo! Poor old diddums didn't get named in the new England squad. What to do with that warehouse full of Beckham 100 merchandise now?!

Britney Spears
Yeah, driving aimlessly around LA while gorging on Red Bull and talking to trees is just not a good look.

Girls Aloud
Sarah, Kimberley and Nicola must be quaking in their loved-up boots. After Cheryl's relationship meltdown (scrubbers!), Nadine and on-off squeeze Jesse Metcalfe appear to have called it a day. Once more. Until the next time. We would give Sarah a good home though if anything were to happen. Speaking of which, we have a room to rent...

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.
