Absurd comment of the Year: "Penny Lancaster was reduced to tears by the judges on Strictly Come Dancing last night as they described her dancing as 'lumpy.' Rod Stewart's new wife wept openly in front of millions of TV viewers but blamed her leggy physique saying 'When you've got legs as long as mine are, dancing is tricky.'" (ThisisLondon)

"Jindal’s victory heralds the GOP’s further ascendancy in Louisiana, particularly in the face of sweeping demographic changes after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Massive flooding sent many black Louisianans, who often vote Democratic, fleeing from the state to Texas, Utah and elsewhere. While the full political impact of the population shifts from the 2005 storms are still being revealed, it’s clear that Republicans are stronger than before." (Politico)

"Hunter Hill and I hosted a little birthday party at my house the other night for the Ports 1961 designer Tia Cibani .... who is setting up shop this fall in New York. She recently relocated to New York, and she's such a sweetheart, so I wanted to welcome her. It was a fun little ecclectic gathering and was made especially fun cause my great friend Paige Powell was in town, so she came by with Tama Janowitz, Johnny Dynell ... and her friend Susan Mulcahy, who you may know was a Page Six editor years ago, and was telling us how she just finished her newest book called Why I'm a Democrat."

"ANGRY Paul McCartney has hit Heather Mills with a shock cut-price £23million now-or-never ultimatum in a bid to force a settlement in their bitter divorce. The ex-Beatle is furious at Mucca's stalling over a deal and has REDUCED his earlier offer of £25 million to show her he means business. A source close to Sir Paul said: 'This is a FINAL offer. Paul's sick of her. He's adamant that he's not offering her any more deals and has sworn that after this there will be no more bargaining. If Heather knocks this one back he has instructed his lawyers to tell her to go to hell and he'll see her in court —where a judge will decide it.'
Macca, 65, wants Heather to accept a deal that includes a gagging clause preventing her from ever revealing embarrassing details of their stormy five-year marriage." (Newsoftheworld)
