Overview.

The powers that be behind the new series of TOWIE seem to think that the very epitome of entertainment is watching Lucy cry. It's like we can't get enough of it. Crying in front of an iPad, crying in front of a window, and crying in front of the rest of the cast. And all because of the vaguely sinister Mario, who seems to have styled himself on a Miami Vice villain. Now that would be novel if Crockett and Tubbs came to save sad, hapless Lucy. Also I never thought I'd see it, but with new character Diags, he is someone that actually could do with a bit more make up. Come on, help the poor guy out, it's not as if there is a shortage of slap on the show.

 

I'm starting to think there is no advert that would not be improved by sticking Vicky from Geordie Shore in it. The shampoo one with Cheryl Cole for instance, sure Vicky would start out telling you about bounce and shine and how you are worth it. But, pretty soon, she'd be telling you, you don't deserve decent shampoo, you're not worth it, and you're a knob end to boot. I'd hate to think what she would tell that bloke to do with his phone if you swapped her for Yoda in that dire ad. Also, just think how she would put you off of a pay day loan, the mind boggles.

 

On the Star Wars front I see The Phantom Menace is coming out in 3D. So it seems they will have to amend that old adage. You still can't polish a turd, but you can stick it in 3D.
