Hello Dollymixers. I'm thrilled to be co-guesting as your host for the next two weeks. I am even more thrilled than I was last night, when I was watching a preview of Celebrity Come Dine With Me and Caprice brought synchronised swimming to the dinner party. It was brilliant. More from us imminently, kicking off with the weekend news, Rebecca xx

Hello Everybodies. My name is Wendy and I am giddier than a kid with A.D.D. to be guesting on Dollymix. All you need to know, readers, is that my Fantasy Mum is a close call between Brooklyn's finest, Judge Judy and glasses-on-nose-wearer-in-excelsis Jenni Murray. And I shall be posting imminently on how nicking things from shops is The Great Leveller. Wooo, etc. See you soon, Roby xxx

Saturday's Times declares that pin-ups are back once again, though this time it's got celebrity-evidence and you can even see Kate Hudson's bum. Also - Susan Sarandon continues to be my favourite Hollywood person ever by joining in the fun.

Sarah Palin got punked by Canadian radio pranksters(TM), who convinced her she was talking to French top dog Nicolas Sarkozy. International relations skills? She giggled, "We love you!" Now she's said to be "mildly amused" to learn of the hoax. She will, no doubt, also be "mildly amused" by Tina Fey's final pre-election Palin. John McCain - good sport or a bit bonkers for letting her rip it out of his potential VP?


Yesterday's Observer Woman got all indie-lady with a Patti Smith interview, by the wonderful Amy Raphael, and a huge piece on the JT LeRoy hoax.

Broody, moody Joaquin Phoenix is retiring from films for a permanent stroll down rock'n'roll avenue. A word of warning: for every Juliette Lewis, Joaq, there's a Keanu Reeves...

Katherine Jenkins confesses that she took some drugs once, after tabloid threatens to tell everyone that she took some drugs once. Katherine Jenkins is my very own nails-down-a-chalkboard celeb. Unreasonable and quite possibly unfounded but true. It's Viva La Diva what did it. Still, is this really newzzz?
