"LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – The Fox network has picked up the pilot "Absolutely Fabulous," a U.S. version of the cult British comedy about a neurotic fashion publicist, Edina, and her best friend, Patsy, an outrageous fashion editor, who drive Eddie's sensible teen daughter, Saffron, up the wall with their wild behavior. Christine Zander wrote the adaptation, which is set in Los Angeles. Zander is executive producing the pilot with Jennifer Saunders, who wrote the original series and starred as Edina."

Why can some people not let a good thing alone? 'Kath and Kim' anyone?

joanna lumley *sigh*

just read in the telegraph an interview with joanna lumley, saying she's not bad for 60.

and she was not bad as britt, er, elke, um, patsy

and, well, um, er, i quite like her :-)

the things you find on the 'net ...

on the myspace page of a qpr fan i found myriad youtube videos of david bowie. in one of them, he was singing a song best known through sonny & cher (or chrissie hynde & ub40 for younger oldies) - 'i got you babe'. under the wimple is marianne faithfull. according to the page whence cometh the pic, the back of her habit had no back, so when she left the stage everyone got a brief view of her bottom. she's a bit before my time, but i loved her as god in abfab :-)
