Naughty
DAVID Beckham’s son Brooklyn surprised his dad by flying in from New York to be at his 43rd birthday; a 19 year-old who can pay for a 1st class ticket across the Atlantic.
And his little sister’s gift to her dad? A £4,500 Louis Vuitton wine case. Whatever happened to the days when six year-old’s made their dad a card out of a sheet of A4 and coloured it in?
HUGH Grant is slumming it these days. But the toff actor says he found “lowering myself to television again after 30-odd years surprisingly painless.”
That’s really lovely to hear. But perhaps if the Four Weddings star had spent less time trying to crush press freedom and more time convincing film producers he really can act he wouldn’t have to make such a sacrifice.
Nice
CHERYL Tweedie is showing remarkable composure in dealing with her immature toyboy partner Liam Payne.
The former boybander referred to her as “Old Chezza” recently in an interview and has followed this up with a live radio chat telling the world she was on the toilet. But she won’t let the relationship go down the pan. Will she?
DANIEL Craig is rumoured to be on the verge of returning to the role of James Bond, after saying he would “rather slash his wrists than return” And it’s only taken a $25m carrot to see him bite. A bargain.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
