gleaning amusement from a downbeat Sunday

Well. The Sunday papers were particularly depressing yesterday. Fatal teen stabbing, a precipitous rise in dementia, the inexorable prospect of Prime Minister David Cameron. Ugh.

So I just skimmed those headlines and focused on the the entertaining ones. Obviously.





- The consistently irrelevant Liz Jones admits that she often lies about her age, which is a shame, since much like Madonna and Sharon Stone, she can still stop traffic. Although in her case, it's because she's like a car accident [Mail On Sunday].

- John McCain invited all the folks who might make potential veeps over to his ranch for a barbecue. He says it's just a social event, perhaps because he's embarrassed to admit that he's selecting his running mate based on who eats the most pork ribs in order to court the very substantial obesity vote [Observer].

- Celia Walden pouts with Robert Cavalli aboard his yacht at Cannes, by sheer coincidence writes fawning profile [Sunday Telegraph].

- Craig, judge from Strictly Come Dancing, was a drag queen and a prostitute, he reveals in his new autobiography. The NOTW reacts in signature style, highlighting the most shocking aspects of the lurid tale in bold capital letters: not only did he start hustling at SEVENTEEN but when he was a DRAG QUEEN  he wore ELBOW-LENGTH GLOVES. I feel a bit faint [News of the World].
