That the first day back to work after the holidays is always a blow to the system… That's probably why my fevered fingers are trembling over my laptop as the rest of my being hacks out another backbreaking cough (on the upside, I've the luxury of being tucked up in bed *wriggles*)... That I hope 2009 has been treating you all well thus far... That it's been particularly kind to James Corden as he's nabbed the lead of new US based comedy called Road to Hawaii... That Seth Rogan is quaking in his Crocs... That I don't get the allure of Corden, especially after his recent poor performance on The Big Fat Quiz of The Year... There’s also a hum of 'try hard' off him and his abilities are overly hyped, much like Gavin and Stacey... That his fans have his new film Lesbian Vampire Killers and a new series of his sketch show with Matthew Horne to look forward to... That Katie Holmes has spent in the region of $15million in the six months she's been living in New York, during her stint on All My Sons... The New York Post has described her as 'Manhattan's Most Valued Shopper', saying "She has been valiantly doing her bit to boost our economy"... That Rihanna has been seen brandishing a large sparkler on her ring finger so now it’s presumed the 20-year-old is engaged to Chris Brown... That Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have split after a punch up at a hotel in Miami on New Year's Eve... Things kicked off during Ronson’s DJing gig in Set nightclub, with The Mirror reporting: "After moping like a kid who'd had her toys taken away, she stormed out. But when DJ Sam, 31, didn't immediately follow she bawled: 'When I storm off, you're supposed to follow me!'"… That's what every 31-year-old wants to hear... That, of seeing Ronson eating at Sunset Tower Hotel recently, fellow diner Courtney Cox said: "Why are people so fascinated with celebrity? I don’t know… Do I wanna know about her (Ronson)? Well, yeah, a little bit. I do. What’s the deal? I haven't quite figured it out myself"... That Jennifer Aniston said: "Men come and go but there really is no relationship like the one you have with a dog - and then they don't live as long as they should. You have to say goodbye way too soon. It's just so sad. It makes me so sad. But their love is unconditional and I love that"... That Kylie Minogue is dating a Spanish model called Andres Velencoso Segura... That Britney Spears' brother, Bryan, has married Jamie Lynn Spears' manager, 36-year-old Graciella Sanchez... That the pair only "started dating seriously recently"... That La Toya Jackson had a clause written into her Celeb Big Brother contract stating she wasn't to be filmed without make up... That I thought she'd insist on no close ups either... A source said: "It should come as no surprise that La Toya is in one of the best rooms. Producers tried to suggest that the bedrooms were on a first-come, first-served basis but they were well aware that La Toya was going to be the first celebrity entering the Big Brother house. To suggest that this is a coincidence is a bit much"... That Verne Troyer's ex-wife, some 36-year-old ex-Playboy fodder, said: "Verne is the sweetest, most caring person in the world when he is sober. But if he starts drinking a whole different side comes out. He can be very moody and irritable when he is drinking. And he becomes like a dog on heat. He will start hitting on every woman in the house if he is drunk"... That Michelle Heaton would want to watch her back…
