The Arab League Meetings need one new member, a 1000lb bomb through the ceiling.

They are absolutely the worlds most unpleasant and evil collection of c**ts outside of Mr Burn's League of Evil.

A vile apologist gang of thieves, fundamentalist, cowards, tyrants and apologists.

What they need is Frank Drebben.

And now for something completely different...

Is he one of us? If not, we ought to worry. He's funny this lad or smoking something very potent.

The saga of one man and his wetsuit. Look at the Q&A as well.

Elizabeth Taylor's died.

Strange liz Taylor never made a film for over a decade and turned up in the Flintstones of all things.
Who's afraid of Virginia woolf the best film she ever made.

I haven't actually seen her in much, now I come to think of it. She's always just sort of... been there.
Mainly as Michael Jackson's best friend, and someone I get mixed up with Joan/Jackie Collins.

I loved her in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, though.

Yeah, my mum really liked her too.
I know she was huge, I just haven't actually seen much of her work.

I'm reading Bring on the Empty Horses at the moment, and it's fascinating to read about all the glamour of those grand old days of film.

I loved National Velvet as a youngster, when I was going through the horse-loving phase all girls seem to have. Liz had a chequered life, but was always fabulous!

She certainly can say she lived.

I remember her in 'Taming of the Shrew' with Richard Burton of course.

A good excuse to watch Cleopatra and look out for George Cole (Arthur Daley) as Flavius alongside Rex Harrison.

Diaz has a certain 'Je Ne Sais Quoi'

I'm surprised she lasted as long as she did. I remember reading in Melvyn Bragg's Richard Burton biography that she had major life-threatening health troubles when she was married to him.

No, but she's quite harmless, and I like her in films like 'Something about Mary' where you don't have to think.

Diaz and Taylor aren't in the same league. In her day Taylor a humungous star. I don't think there are any actresses around now with her celeb wattage.
