Sacha Baron Cohen The return of Respek Booyakasha! Let’s start the day on a lighter note... Sacha Baron Cohen was honoured last night in London at the British Comedy Awards.

Style Eddie Redmayne’s great suit It’s a gorgeous suit. It’s a beautiful colour. And he wears it so well. I interviewed Eddie Redmayne at the Les Miserables junket last weekend in New York.

Twats Life After George While George Clooney talks to dogs and Stacy Keibler lives at “our house”, her predecessor is in Cannes, getting groped on a yacht by Admiral General Aladeen. I mean...
