		<title>You can&#8217;t parody a parody &#8211; because it will always turn out worse!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

So, yesterday Jay-Z, or maybe his people, or his record company, or possibly his pet parakeet, got the excellent Newport State Of Mind - the parody of the almost as good Empire State Of Mind &#8211; taken off YouTube. BOOOOOO says most of the country&#8230;probably.
If you&#8217;re having withdrawal symptoms (I know I am) then along [...]]]></description>

		<title>The old jokes are the best</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Headline from the BBC News website earlier today:

Rupert? Paddington?!? YOGI?!?!?!?!
They&#8217;ll form a coalition with anyone.
And that concludes my election coverage.
You&#8217;re welcome.

		<title>Russell Crowe&#8217;s views on Robin Hoods, past and present</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Blah blah Russell Crowe has a new movie coming out blah blah blah he plays Robin Hood blah blah blah he&#8217;s promoting it at the moment *yawn* asked his thoughts on previous film versions of Robin Hood etc etc etc
So far so whatever. But when asked about the Kevin Costner version, things got interesting. Of the 1991 [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Tiger, John and Jesse gang</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

In my monthly crap-it&#8217;s-the-end-of-the-month-and-I-haven&#8217;t-written-anything-this-month-better-write-something-quick post, I wonder &#8211; why is the current male celebrity trend for multiple mistresses? And by multiple, I don&#8217;t mean two, three or four &#8211; if your name&#8217;s Tiger, anything short of a dozen is just lazy. (I guess the number 16 &#8211; the last count of his mistresses &#8211; can [...]]]></description>

		<title>What are Croatian WAGs like?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I know it&#8217;s the hot topic on everyone&#8217;s lips at the moment &#8211; so right here, right now, I&#8217;ll bring you the answer. Well, sort of.
Let&#8217;s take a look at one WAG in particular. She&#8217;s called Nives Celsius (catchy name) and you may have already come across her in the British press. She and her [...]]]></description>

		<title>I see a flaw in this Valentine&#8217;s Day plan&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Hmmm&#8230;I think this is the wrong kind of proposal
The BBC News reports on a &#8220;helpful&#8221; strategy that Manchester Airport are employing for Valentine&#8217;s Day in order to avoid any secretly hidden engagement rings being unveiled at airport security&#8230;thereby ruining the surprise of a proposal.
Travellers can now say a special code phrase which will see them [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your next obsession &#8211; Jersey Shore</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I know that you&#8217;re the kind of person that swings from one ill-advised obsession to another, so start planning the next fixation that will consume you more than knitting does. (I&#8217;ve totally read you &#8211; huh? HUH?!?!?!)
Over in the U.S. just before Christmas, I caught the first episode of a new MTV reality series &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

That&#8217;s what they&#8217;re called Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt these days, isn&#8217;t it?
Anyways, seems these two freaky lovebirds are heading for a split &#8211; and carving up the fortune and vast number of babies before they do so. (BTW, not literally carving up babies. That&#8217;s weird.)
Earlier this week, the Daily Mail had the following exclusive [...]]]></description>

		<title>I can&#8217;t help thinking &#8211; just stop building the goat?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Sad news. People in Sweden have built a straw goat, which has burnt to the ground. Poor goat.
Well, let me expand a little &#8211; the 43-foot straw goat, a &#8220;traditional Scandinavian Yuletide symbol&#8221; was erected this Christmas in Gavle (just north of Stockholm) as it has been every year since 1966.
Though also every year (well [...]]]></description>

		<title>The biggest non-upset upset in UK chart history (or is it just about Christmas number ones?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Well done everyone! We&#8217;ve done it! We&#8217;ve beaten the evil kitten-eater Simon Cowell and the winner of his spreadsheet talent contest The Excel Factor, Steve Brookstein, in their bid to get the Christmas number one with their cover of Disney starlet Billy Ray Cyrus&#8217;s hit, The Fall. (Yeah, that sentence has too much &#8220;spoof&#8221;. I know. Well, [...]]]></description>
