HBO, home of Sex And The City ( ) and The Sopranos ( ), has bought the rights to the most shocking of all British television shows, .
No, not a new live-action version of Postman Pat starring Vin Diesel as a drunken, violent, misogynist Postman Pat with Tourettes syndrome. The real Postman Pat.
They re showing the animated programme you watched when you were little.
It s not quite the ropey, 24 year-old Postman Pat that HBO will broadcast. It s the new series, as shown on British television last year.
And it won t be shown on the grown-up version of HBO, but HBO Family. From the autumn, it will be broadcast in English and Spanish to 35 million households.
What American kids will make of Postman Pat remains to be seen.
They re used to shows called things like TV s Noisiest Car Wreckages, so a sedate problem-haired postman going about his daily business might prove to be a turn-off for them. On the other hand, he might become the new Teletubbies.
Lets hope the success doesn t go to his head.
Nobody wants to see Postman Pat end up in rehab.
Paris Hilton ( ) has Paris Latsis.
According to reports, the pair announced their plans to marry at a private barbeque for friends at Hilton s Beverly Hills mansion, and then they all danced to Gwen Stephani records.
Lovely.
Paris Hilton, famous for having sex all over the internet, said of her fiance, I feel like we are meant to be and I m happy to have found someone to spend the rest of my life with in an interview with US Weekly magazine.
Apparently, Latsis proposed as Hilton returned from a European promotional trip for her film House Of Wax, all about a bunch of teenagers being scared by some wax.
He has chosen a selection of engagement rings for his bride-to-be to pick from, all probably covered with diamonds the size of J-Lo s bum.
Will the marriage beat Nicky Hilton s three months? Where will the wedding be held?
What on earth would you buy the super-rich couple for a wedding present? Will we now have to endure a rubbish reality TV show about Paris and Paris?
We ll answer these questions as soon as we can.
According to a report on U.S show Celebrity Justice (great title), Jackson has been in several talks with Nevada Showman Steve Wynn about a possible regular tourist-pleasing guest slot.
Word has it that Jacko is a huge fan of the big old gamblin city, and that - providing he doesn t get thrown into the slammer and treated to some interesting attention by his new cellmate buddies - he would be more than happy to step into the coin-wasting vicinity and belt out a few hits.
hecklerspray hopes that - if this does all go ahead - Mad Mikey follows in the footsteps of previous Vegas superstar Elvis Presley ( ) and follows a weight-gaining cheeseburger-only diet. Let s face it - who wouldn t pay to see a fat man moonwalking?
Oh, and someone let us know how the Jacko trial turns out, won t you?
