Coleen, you forgot to send my Party Invite
WELL I can't have made much of an impression on Coleen McLoughlin - I met hre and chatted to her and emailed her a load of pictures that I took of her signing her book at Asda ... and...
EVERYONE'S been going on about MySpace, saying: "Ooh, you've got to get onto it, everyone else is," so of course I had to investigate. Now, in just a week, I've gathered an army of 200 new friends and a whole virtual world of nattering and networking in cyperspace...
Bored with Corinne and her eyes tight shut
LAST week I told you about meeting top WAG Colleen, this week it's Corinne who's on my radar. I went to see Ms Bailey Rae perform a gig in her hometown of Leeds. She appeared at...
Where's that bubbly scouser?
I met top WAG Colleen McLoughlin at Asda House in Leeds, where she was signing her book, and managed to have a chat with her, despite the fact that she refused to talk to reporters at a store appearance later that day...
Gay kiss in Coronation Street!
SHOCK! Horror ! There's going to be a gay kiss in Coronation Street! Er, so what? Corrie's the cosiest, most conservative of soaps but it's hardly the first homosexual snog seen in...
What a Carr-y on!
A few weeks ago I wrote about showing Alan Carr around some of Leeds' gay pubs - he loved the city's vibe instantly and said he could quite happily move here. Well, the other night he was back again as a guest of mine at Federation...
It's a matter of life and death...
ISN'T it odd how things happen when you least expect them to? I've told you before about my website GoneTooSoon.co.uk, where anyone can upload a tribute to someone who's died, and other well wishers can add their own thoughts and condolences...
I'm too skinny to have a gastric bypass!
It turns out I'm just not flabby enough for surgery to turn me into a perfect specimen of a male supermodel. I went along to a clinic to find out about the procedure, in which they...
Remember a memorable column I wrote about gay penguins a few months ago? It's certainly one that people stopped me in the street to ask me about at the time, and friends and associates still mention it...
What's so bad about a gay dad?
WHY on earth should gay couples be treated any differently from anyone else when it comes to adopting children? I'll be very interested to see what Tony Blair comes up with this week, in response to Catholic protests over new equality rules...
Is it safe to come out yet?
Every week's a gay week in my world ... but now the Home Office is talking about having Gay Weeks in schools. What a great idea! This is all to do with schools not taking the use of homophobic language seriously enough - something I've talked about a lot in this column...
I THOUGHT I'd been really clever and different when it came to deciding upon my big new year resolution for 2007 ... but a swift surf on the internet showed I was just as predictable as everyone else...
Thais still bear scars of 2004 Tsunami
I've just returned from a trip to Thailand to visit friends for an early Christmas and some winter sunshine. Whilst I had a fabulous time there, I couldn't get out of my mind the terrible tragedy of the Tsunami which hit the region almost exactly 2 years ago...
Mixing with the beautiful fashion people
I'VE been schmoozing with models and TV stars backstage at the Clothes Show Live at Birmingham's NEC. If you're over 25 you might remember the Sunday night TV programme presented...
A little family gossip for you!
HERE'S something I bet you didn't know ... Shayne Ward has a twin sister! She's very, very shy and she hates having her picture taken, but I managed to persuade her to smile for the...
