Oh sorry, I meant Jessie J has a bad reputation. Leona Lewis seems perfectly nice, she's just a bit of a sad figure because she had so much potential but never really delivered on it. But people still like her, even though she hasn't had a serious hit in years.

Correction: Her first album was massive, but the second was a pretty big bomb and aside from Bang Bang the third pretty much sank without trace too. She's got a high profile here, she was a judge on The Voice and she gets a lot of mileage out of how supposedly popular she is in the USA (Like Leona Lewis, who I believe…

Ironically the characters in 30 Rock behaved more like The Muppets than the actual Muppets. I appreciate the emotional heart that they're trying to find, but why is it all so serious and why are the jokes that do creep in so flat?

I don't understand why - after the Jason Segel movie did so well - they didn't go back to doing Muppet movie adaptations of classic film and literature. That's where the Muppets really shine for me.

I can't believe nobody has called out 'Love To See You Cry'. Was it a single in America? One of the absolute top ten grossest, most (presumably unintentionally) unsettling pop songs of all time.

On the flipside, it's endlessly fascinating to me how enduringly popular Sheena Easton was in America when she was such a flash in the pan on her home turf.

Someone should really turn 'Get Out of My House' into a Guetta-esque banger.

Yeah but they replaced the Bush vocal with some generic session player. It was a fun mix, but no Bush = no sale.

Not as good as the acid house version of 'Cloudbusting' that was a UK hit in the early 90s. Kate cleared the sample so she's clearly somewhat relaxed about her work being re appropriated.

There was a reality show here in the UK called 'The Farm', in which an assortment of micro-celebrities…um… went to work on a farm. Competitively. It was a very British concept.

I don't think it's really fair to characterize Duvall's Wendy as nothing more than a shrieking victim. She ultimately proves herself to be brave and resourceful in saving herself and her son. Knocking Jack out and locking him in the storage room, fending Jack off while Danny escapes etc.

Piggy has the potential to be a great character. She's typically portrayed as one of the smartest and most capable of the Muppets (it's only really her and Kermit who are repeatedly portrayed as holding down real-world jobs, albeit to wildly varying degrees of success), but with a rampant ego, a very short fuse,…

I thought Tovah Feldshuh did excellent work as Deanna too. There was some incredible acting in that sustained close-up of her face. It reminded me of Imelda Staunton's key scene in Vera Drake, the way she managed to convey the shift from initial terror to something harder and more calculated, all without saying a…

This is a solid, gag-packed season 8-10 Simpsons episode, but suffers from too much lazy writing and a lack of warmth that characterized the show's downward slide. I can't help but compare it unfavourably to the quietly lovely 'Selma's Choice' from Season Four, which isn't afraid to treat its unattractive supporting…

Hell, I suppose Gellar's Scream 2 role was at least more rewarding than Portia DeRossi's one-line cameo as America's oldest college freshman.

I also *love* Brandy's inexplicable (and unexplained) survival in I Still Know….

"I Know What You Did Last Summer" was of course as dumb as rocks, but they do let Sarah Michelle Gellar's character put up a hell of a fight before she succumbs to her fate. (I mean, not Buffy level fight, but it's a *long* scene for a secondary character death). They even manage to wring a little poignancy out of how…

Wow, I really interpret the Marge/Lisa conflict in this episode differently from the writer - for me this is one of the sweetest and most realistic episodes between those two characters.

It always bugged me that Lisa would be so blithely ignorant in that scene. It's totally out of character. Why not just give the line to Bart?

Her last TV/film credit was in 2002. Big loss, not many people can be said to have a genuinely unique screen presence but she's certainly one. Not to mention the sheer list of people she's worked with - Altman (repeatedly), Kubrick, Jane Campion, Terry Gilliam, Woody Allen… I bet she has some stories.
