Your Letters
Each and every week we get so many weird and wonderful things sent our way in response to the weekly newsletter, we want to start sharing a few of our favourite bits of correspondence with you all.
If you’ve ever got anything for us – stories, gossip or any other assorted oddities – email hello@popbitch.com. We’re always glad to hear from you.
——————————————————
Blue Movies
Duncan James isn’t afraid to put the work in to get himself a good deal. In fact, his blagging skills seem to know no bounds…
——————————————————
School Jays
More tales from Latymer Upper School – turns out Jay Sean wasn’t even the best rapper in his sixth form. Poor lad.
——————————————————
The Really Naked Chef
Gordon Ramsay ain’t got nothing on Jamie Oliver.
——————————————————
Paloma Palaver
She may be a deceitful and duplicitous DJ and she may be happy to let mistakes about her age go unchecked, but Paloma Faith isn’t a full blown fake.
——————————————————
Day’s Months and Years
Turns out Paloma Faith isn’t the only one whose age is up for debate. Darren Day (now of drink-driving and coat borrowing repute) seems to have ripped a hole in the time/space continuum somewhere between school and court.
——————————————————
Danesh-ing Act
It’s nice to see Darius back on our screens after such a long (and sadly unenforced) hiatus, but those hoping to relive his greatest hits are going to find themselves sorely disappointed.
——————————————————
Great Scots!
If you thought the Michelle McManus/Manda Rin/Multiple Sclerosis segment was weird, just you wait and see what we got sent this week.
——————————————————
Song 2, Take 2
It came as no surprise to learn that most of the money that Blur made from Song 2 was from its incessant use in adverts (as opposed to actual record sales) but it wasn’t just money they got out of the deals they struck.
——————————————————
Hankering For More
Since we made a passing reference to Hank Wangford in Issue 481 – country singer and leading sexual health specialist – we’ve been inundated with correspondence from people who have had first hand experience with the man.
——————————————————
Flea Mail
We heard a story about Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers dressing as Santa and acting as MC for the Silverlake Conservatory of Music’s Christmas recital late last year. It seems he wasn’t just drafted in last minute to make a token appearance either.
——————————————————
Tricked Astley
Apparently there are more incidences of double chart entries than we initially thought. There’s a story to suggest that poor Rick Astley got stiffed by sneaky record execs, as DS tell us.
——————————————————
Llama Army
We have nothing to fear. Look how cute Llamageddon will be!
