Coy Nigella Lawson turns pink at Bond girl flattery
With a new book and BBC2 series to publicise, both entitled Simply Nigella, it’s no wonder Ms Lawson is looking trimmer than ever.
The 55-year-old looked radiant posing with a ceramic fermenting pot in her recently revamped pink kitchen, which she took great delight in decorating after leaving the £25 million home she shared with ex-husband Charles Saatchi.
Despite their acrimonious divorce, the Domestic Goddess has no shortage of admirers, with one contacting her on Twitter to say: ‘I kind of not so secretly hope that Nigella Lawson will eventually be a Bond girl.’
When an admirer suggested she'd become a Bond girl, Nigella replied that 'M would be more appropriate!’
Nigella coyly replied: ‘At my age, I think M would be more appropriate!’
Name-dropper Dawkins
Rare is the celebrity memoir that omits mention of famous friends, but author of The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins, has felt compelled to defend himself after being accused in one review of ‘liberally name-dropping’.
In the newly published second volume of his memoirs, Brief Candle In The Dark, he cites encounters with the likes of Bill Gates, John Cleese, David Attenborough and the Queen, whom we are told once commented on the animal-themed tie that his wife designed for him.
Dawkins, 74, told his 1.24 million Twitter followers: ‘Autobiographies include stories about acquaintances/friends. If some happen to be famous, should an author CUT them to avoid “namedropping”? . . . My funny stories about named people in Brief Candle In The Dark are always affectionate and never intentionally discreditable to them.’
How very sycophantic.
Trinny takes on the High Street – and her hormones
Avid: The TV star was seen in Knightsbridge clutching a book about hormones
A tome on how to cope with the menopause isn’t the most desirable fashionable accessory.
But Trinny Woodall, the clotheshorse What Not To Wear presenter, was not afraid to be seen clutching a book on hormone imbalance as she left Saint Laurent, Knightsbridge, yesterday.
The New York Times bestseller, The Hormone Solution by Dr Erika Schwartz, offers tips on alleviating symptoms such as weight gain, hot flushes and acne.
It also offers advice for lack of libido, although Woodall said she felt ‘very energised’ by her new relationship with Charles Saatchi when she celebrated her milestone 50th birthday last year.
‘I’m feeling pretty good about my age,’ Woodall, 51, told a website for the over-50s, as she admitted to having Botox.
‘In your 50s, you have to look out for your weak points. Then hide them.’
Strictly Come Dancing’s Claudia Winkleman proved a sparky quizmaster at David and Jonathan Dimbleby’s The World’s Greatest Quiz Night.
But she came gloriously unstuck when she insisted the only British city with a ‘Bridge of Sighs’ was her alma mater, Cambridge.
In fact, there is a Bridge of Sighs in Oxford, too. ‘What’s this about Oxford?’ said Claudia.
‘It can’t be true! All I know is the Cambridge bridge. After all that’s where I once fiddled about with a boy called Garth.'
Too much information, Claudia.
