Oops! Lohan was caught snacking at the wheel in the 'fall' of 2007 after smashing her top of the range Chevy Pink Cadillac into the rear bumper of a hard-up Hollywood-dwelling artist, who it was rumoured, had been spotted on numerous occasions furiously sketching a nude Lohan from a secret hidey hole in her luxurious walk-in bathroom.
A little bit wild, a little bit naughty, the ladies love a bit of television bad-boy and Yellow Pages stooge James Nesbitt.
With his lilting Irish brogue enlivening such memorable shows as Cold Feet and er... many other quality slices of adult drama, possibly, Nesbitt (or 'James' to his friends and acquaintances) is set to return to our screens this spring as hard-bitten cop (policeman) Detective Inspector Jack Faceglaze, an unreconstructed ex-alcoholic hardman out of step with the modern world, who bends the rules but gets results.
Legendary for her chameleonic image changes and fickle appropriation of daft celebrity religions, the capricious chanteuse remains as enigmatic as ever. Whore in the kitchen, chef in the bedroom but never yet an actress on a film set, Madge both illuminates and challenges our perception of established gender roles as she switches from well-bred country horse-crasher to common everyday fishwife with astonishing ease.
As viewers of the recent retrospective series 'Wogan's Golden Telly Memory Barrelscrapings' will testify, the Irish smoothie was the indisputable king of sycophantic jibber jabber throughout the Eighties. What made this achievement all the more remarkabale is the unflappable tenacity demonstrated by the host in appearing on our screens, sometimes as often as once per evening, despite the theft of his nose in 1984.
Hail President Blair! Former benevolent dictator to some, international warlord to others, it's our imperious leader captured in convivial mood at an informal Downing Street drinks party arranged to celebrate the launch of New Labour's 'Cool Britannia 2' initiative.
"I am the President of these here United States and I did not have sexual relations with that woman" was Bill Clinton's outlandish claim, and had the young Ms. Lewinsky not been such a comely lass, a few hopelessly gullible fools may even have believed it, much as the lady herself had swallowed his earlier ejaculations. Desperate to put the past behind her, yet curiously unable to stop milking the President, as in the case of his earlier ejaculations, Monica is pictured at work as technical adviser on the set of a new bio-pic she hopes will tell her side of the story.
Few could have been surprised when the supposed offspring of Tom and Katie's happy union, Suri Cruise, was recently revealed to be nothing more than an animatronic doll thrown together in a desperate attempt to wrongfoot the slavering paparazzi hordes. After all, Tom had only debuted his new cybernetic eye, glimmering so eerily inour exclusive picture, during his triumphant return to the Oprah show, mere months before the child's 'birth'.
Captured during an intimate moment staring down from the balcony of Buckingham Palace in which the newest member of the royal family contemplates which she despises more, the Queen's dogs or the poor, this exclusive portrait glimpses 'Cammy' in all her ravaged glory. In particular, the contrast of strong, almost violent pen strokes with the tender attention to detail present in the simple string of pearls make this a truly remarkable representation of a complex and often misunderstood woman.
It's no surprise the heir to the throne is known as 'the heart-throb prince', as our stunning rendering confirms. Young William, 35, seems to win over new admirers all the time with his gleaming smile, easy-going charm and simple minded wit. Whether scrumming down for a game of 'rugger' with his chums or dismounting with a satisfied grin on the polo field as our portrait shows, William loves being in touch with the common man, and to reach out and touch common men everywhere. Truly an icon of our times.
