NOTE: Some readers complained that they missed last week’s comment on the death of Marcel Marceau. Here it is again:

And the Week in Trash from Helen Razer:

If you cared to ransack the foul rag and bone shop of pop this week, you were amply rewarded with some reeking morsels.

None, of course, were quite so joyously fetid as human bin-liner Britney. Since the birth of Compost, Jaidyn or whatever her vile first born was cruelly christened (I feel about the creative naming of children as others do about squelchy public onanism) I have been yelling at my interwebs, “Please, won’t someone phone welfare.”

Apparently, someone did. The origin of this custody contretemps is unclear. Well, it’s not actually. Apparently she was driving AGAIN without a license. However, I like to imagine she was forced to hand the kids back to K-Fed (now there’s a fertile man who positively reeks of filial concern) because of her unacceptable Body Mass Index. Because it would amuse me to hear an emissary of the Law say, “You can’t have children. You’re too fat.”

The Pointless Misuse of Feeble Press Intellect merit certificate goes to whichever tosser bothered to write these nasty things about Our Kylie. 

Here’s the story: Camberwell’s Cupid suggested some edits in a documentary that featured her as its subject. Well, won’t someone alert robust defenders of free speech? Surely, this is an offence on a par with the removal of Ulysses from sale upon its initial release etc. Our Kylie, as you know, is a delightful confection and must not be condemned.

Further, if she wants to shoot her perfect face full with botulism, I say, Kylie, Rage Rage against the dying of the light.

Now, I would have called fellow grieving Saints supporter Warnie about these allegations. However, his phone is generally busy. And, as you know, when not engaged on the telephone, Shane is generally performing clumsy cunnilingus upon any dear blonde harlot who does not have the heart to say, “Really, you’re doing nothing for me and you stink of cigarettes.”

I find it almost impossible to think of Warnie coupled with delectable former courtesan, Jemima Khan. Don’t you? I fritter a great deal of time thinking about sundry persons involved in unlikely conjugation, but I cannot imagine Jemima going for trade quite so rough.

In other meaningless news: over-rated and under-sourced interwebs “Personality” Perez Hilton hosted a party. One, no doubt, replete with Bolivian Marching Powders and tinsel masquerading as frocks. People reports that Nicole Richie and her beau Joel were engaged at this do. And, apparently, they are set to legalise their unforgivable union next week.

I don’t think I fugging care. Really. She’s a pointless bint and he is in a band so irksome that the foul noise they emit rivals Nickelback for utter crapness.

Perhaps KFed is available to nurse their devil child when it spills, red eyed and kicking with detached diabolic promise, into our ugly world.

Until next week, cuddles!
