Gisele Bundchen Proves My Point

Have you ever seen a magazine stand in a country like France, Italy or Spain? They have topless woman on the front of normal magazines. Not ever the special top shelf sort we have (although at 6'2" I can't complain).

This is Gisele Bundchen on a photo shoot for a Spanish magazine. (Like all pictures on this site, if you click on it you will get a bigger version.) If you got a Christmas gift that badly wrapped, you'd send it back to Santa.

I don't know what heat she is doing her washing on, but she needs to lower it.

But here's some correlatory work for you. The countries that have magazine stands opening showing some boob are also the countries where heart disease is lower than in places like the UK.

It's just as scientifically valid as blaming it on their Mediterranean diet.

So, come on Gordon Brown, there's a law you should be passing straight away.

Wedding Destinations

When it comes to weddings, you only have one. Well, OK. Sometimes you have more than one, but that's not what you're aiming for. Every wedding is done with the intention of it being the only one.

So when you are planning that one and only wedding why not consider destination weddings? Those are the weddings where you go abroad for the actual wedding service. One possible destination is the Mexican Riviera Maya. At the Karisma Resorts there are secluded white sand beaches, and amazing gourmet foods that will make the whole experience one to remember.

To find out more have a look at the website www.karismahotels.com

Oasis Clothing

Liam Gallagher is launching his own clothing line.

That's great. That means this blog can do its own "Get that look cheaper" section.

Want to get the Liam Gallagher look for less? Just stop washing and shaving and pretend you're going to a fancy-dress party as a member of The Beatles. Not Ringo though. You'd just look like Inspector Clueso.

More Heroes

Yey! Heroes is getting a fourth season. Why, that's a whole year.

I'm looking forward to it, and let me tell you why. The TV show Lost has a total crapper of a third season but came back with a fourth that was amazing. (Flash-forwards – brilliant idea)

And Heroes has been a bit ropey for seasons 2 and 3, so 4 must be a great one.

Heroes still has a place in my Heart because of Sky+. I don't Sky+ Heroes, I watch live TV but I can pause it. And as I pause it I scrunch up my eyes and then shout, "Yataa!"

The Knot Shop

We recently spoke about the stress of planning a wedding. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to play down the stress of getting that far. The being single, the dating, the relationship and rows and required work in their own right, but now we're taking it up a notch.

One way I could help you plan your wedding is to tell you about a website that could help. It's called The Knot Wedding Shop and there you will find a wide range of top-quality wedding supplies. They have novelty items there, including things like ring pillows to present the wedding band in style, cake toppers to make it look good, wedding cameras that you leave on the table and the guests use to record the event, and wedding favors too.

All the details are at theknot.com

Ledger's Oscar

Heath Ledger's Oscar will be given to his former fiancée Michelle Williams.

Make sure you get the right one. The actress, not the one from Destiny's Child.

I'm not saying the singer would nick it, but if someone walks up to you and tries to give you an Oscar, you'd probably take it. You'd be thanking people and crying, and you wouldn't think that they might have the wrong person.

Razorlight Drummer Quits

Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows has quit the band. Oh no. What will they do without a drummer? They'll have to use a machine and start to sound like the Pet Shop Boys. Heck, I'd pay to see that.

Apparently it comes after a falling out with lead singer Jonny Borrell.

That's shocking. He'd known Johnny that long and lasted this long before they fell out!

In a statement on the band's website, he says the split's for personal reasons.

Let me guess, "Personally, he thinks Johnny is a tw...""

Flowers

If you have a wedding planned, well, firstly, good luck. But secondly, how do you do it? How do you deal with all the planning and the arranging? It would just boil my brain.

One thing I heard of that can help is to get the wedding flowers sorted by going to www.fiftyflowers.com.

They provide flowers that are really fresh, because they get them shipped overnight from the place where they are grown. They arrive with you not that long after they were cut. Isn't that great?

And the flowers are coming in from places like Ecuador, Colombia and California. So they are fresh and exotic.
