From Emma Watson to JK Rowling: Britain's best celebrity tweeters revealed

'I'd risk kidnap again to talk to ISIS': Terry Waite on the jihadists and why he decided to write a comic novel

Terry Waite endured five years chained to a radiator. He comforts families of other hostages captured or killed by jihadis. No wonder he says he needed to 'cheer himself up'.

Sandra Bullock as the evil boss of the Despicable Me cuties? Sorry, but that's... Minion Impossible

Yes, she throws everything she's got at it - which script-wise, at least, isn't quite enough - but she still sounds recognisably like Sandra Bullock rather than someone evilly interesting and new.

TOM PARKER BOWLES: This'll hit you for six (...or maybe four): Can a steakhouse named after 'Beefy' Botham live up to its hero? Well, almost

It's not only named after him but has its menu partly designed by him and some rather lovely black-and-white shots of Boff in whites, tails and rugby shirt. Separately, of course. Plus lifesize murals, one at either end, of Beefy bowling, appealing a dodgy decision and tonking the hell out of a small leather ball.

OLLY SMITH: It's Wimbubbledon! It's Wimbubbledon! There's only one thing that could surpass a corking triumph for Andy. Some smashing fizz to toast it...

A good start is Champagne Lanson, exclusive supplier to Wimbledon whose bottles are united by crispness and zing.

What's daddy's sauce? Sublime bottles for fathers of a certain vintage (and oneso old it was made when our footballers ruled the world!)

For most Dads I reckon red rather than white is the way to go - while whites can age beautifully into creamy and nutty richness, reds tend to deliver a bit more muscle and power.

Wines of the Commonwealth: Which vino dazzles on parade

For sheer popularity New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc grabs the Commonwealth crown, but other white grapes such as Pinot Gris and Riesling also show great promise.

An indestructible tablet that hides the dark side of the web from the kids? Sack the babysitter - there's nothing safer than... playing with Fire

Erasing the roof: Sensational looks, terrific value - but what's the star feature of Mazda's new convertible? That it takes less than two seconds to drop the top...

What a week! First TFI, then Top Gear - and now I'm in Nissan's nutty sports SUV. My verdict? Hideous to look at, huge fun to drive...

The Juke Nismo RS is the aesthetic motoring equivalent of the entire cast of The Only Way Is Essex. Too much pocket money and too long at the Max Factor counter.

Well, that was some X-perience: Yes, I'll never forget watching my mum lap the Top Gear test track in her mobility scooter. Oh, and Seat's agile (but pricey) new estate isn't bad either

The Seat Leon X-Perience is by no means perfect, but she's OK and does try, like when she flashes up seemingly random information on the dashboard, as if to remind you that she's still there.

Jeremy Paxman leant in close to me and said with a weird, creepy smirk: 'You know, I don't really hate you...'

'There was no sultry sexiness about her. That came much later': The astonishing treasure trove of rare images show Marilyn Monroe as you've never seen her before

'You have to work out what to do with the fame, how to behave, but I've been doing it so long it is part of me': Martin Kemp on Spandau Ballet and playing the hard man

'Women have always been drawn to me. I'm not sure why - I doubt it's my sex appeal!': Inside the head of... Bill Oddie

The ex-Goodie twitcher-in-chief's a glass-half-empty guy who worries about his paunch (is it down to taking anti-depressants?) and hopes it's not just Funky Gibbon he'll be remembered for...

Danger Artem at work: The company who made Take That fly

Firing Take That into the air, burning actors at the stake, shooting Event in the chest... no job is too risky or weird for the SFX wizards behind (and hiding inside) the Olympics 'Octobus'.

What was going on? Well, says Marvin Gaye's widow, apart from the drugs, hookers and AK-47s, life with the Motown legend was too weird even for Wacko Jacko

When Marvin wasn't holding a knife to Jan's throat, he was either insisting that she join him in the Lord's Prayer or complaining about her stretch marks.
