I have been watching Claire: Slave to Food for about half an hour now and all I have observed is a strange ritualistic eating...dieting....eating....dieting turntable that I don't think she even wants to get off.

The general premise of the show is following the story of infamous yo-yo dieter Claire from legendary pop band STEPS. She has proclaimed that once and for all she is going to conquer this demon that she has in food and finally maintain a healthy and 'attractive' weight. HOWEVER (and this my problem) she is constantly searching for help from various sources, nutritionists,

surgeons, fitness experts, other people who have lost weight and consistently she tries their advice for a day then decides that it is simply faaaaaaaarrrr too hard to maintain and stops.

Then she wonders why she isn't losing weight.

On one particular occasion she met a woman that had joined a slimming group and lost 11st by using a packet diet method. The woman prepared her the packet meal and explained how she did it. Laying the help out infront of this strangely ungrateful woman, she tried one and even seemed to like it. Said goodbyee. Drove off in her lovely car, only then declaring that she can't possibly do that. She just couldn't. It would be 'soooo boring'.

Does this woman think that there is a diet that will let you eat cakes and miraculously the weight will just fall off, all over the floor?

AND ONE MORE THING...she keeps going on and on about how she doesn't want to be Claire Richards 'the yo-yo dieter' anymore. So why on earth does she keep doing shows about the fact that she is a yo-yo dieter?

Words fail me.

WOW

I would just like to highlight how amazing Adele looks on this months cover of British Vogue. Her eyes are making me go goooey as I type.

I would also like to highlight how disappointed I was to find the tiny little article on page 316 on the adorable Amy Childs. She looked toned down compared to her usual Essex-glam but absolutely gorgeous. After hearing she was goin g to be in this months issue I wwas so excited, being such a big fan I was expecting atleast 3 (maybe 4??) pages but only 2 :(

Its still pretty incredible seeing reletively normal people grace the pages of Vogue... instead of the usual flawless, unobtainable perfection so I suppose we shouldn't moan.

Its looking into my very soul...

This wrinkled mess is Nigel.

or atleast so I'm told.

I'm told its a cat.

I'm also told that he is rather an expensive cat.

I don't know why, my cat has fur, she's cute and she was a bargain.

(35 english pounds...HELLO)

but he is the new addition to the price household.

IN FACT come to think of it, both my beautiful cats probably cost less than Nigel.

However we must find beauty in all things.

STARE AT HIM LONG ENOUGH AND HE WILL BECOME VOLDEMORT.

It's all in the eyes...

I have always been a massive fan of Big Brother and this new season is going to be no different. This post is no doubt one of many let me assure you buuuut......

Firstly I'd like to draw your attention to one housemate that caught my eye yesterday and not for the most fantastic reason.

I always have hated that guy, the over familiar guy, tactile, strange guy who is just a little bit odd. You're constantly just, a little bit worried that he's gonna snap and shoot everybody. Well Mark is that guy.

How the hell he passed the psyche tests to get into the house I will never know.

He insisted on hugging each and every housemate in the strangest way.

Imagine the hug you would give your own mother if she were lost at sea for approximately 14 years and suddenly and completely unexpectedly she returned home.

THATS THE HUG HE GAVE TO COMPLETE STRANGERS.

If the baying mob, sorry CROWD outside wasn't enough to make me turn tail and run then he definitely would have been.

I look forward to see who snaps with him first.
