Everything else that RollOnFriday omitted to write about. They always miss out on the interesting stuff.
A Bad Week for Sarah Ferguson. Already reeling from the sting in the News of the World last weekend, now she has to face the reality of an unpaid bill of £200,000 from Mayfair boutique Davenport Lyons. Orf with her head.

A Good Week for fanciers of Geordie pop-tart Cheryl Cole (neé Tweedy). The divorce from Ashley "I nearly crashed my car when I found out I was only going to be paid £55k a week" Cole looks to be steaming ahead. Celebrity brief wearer Ash has engaged the services of BLP's Graham Shear. A grateful nation gives thanks.

A Hollywood Week for John Grisham, who has piped out another potboiler. The oft-filmed author (and lawyer, lest we forget) has turned his sights at the youth market, and produced airport fiction for the kidz. The protagonist, Master Theodore Boone, is one of those precocious brats who wants to be a lawyer like both his parents (familiar story, readers?). He runs around with his dog, Judge (barf), doling out "free advice to his schoolmates on divorce, custody, [and] bankruptcy". Sounds like one of those greasy spods who were often found with their head down the toilet at school.
Theodore Boone grasps the reality of 15 hours of due diligence

A Fat Week for Hooters - for the uninitiated, a chain of low-grade restaurants spread across the USA (and also available in Nottingham, where the police carry guns) - who are being sued by a former employee. Hooters told Cassandra Marie Smith that she should join a gym when it turned out she couldn't fit into the uniform - which comes in three sizes. XX small, X small, or small.

A Thin Week at Hogan Lovells Washington, who have hired Sara Hallmark as a summer associate. For those of you with short-term memory problems, she was - of course - a finalist on America's Next Top Model.

And finally, a Desperately Ironic Week for Gerónimo Vargas Aignasse, a politician in Argentina. Aignasse has recently introduced an anti-plagiarism law. Of which the first few paragraphs defining plagiarism itself are copied from Wikipedia. In accordance with his own law, Gerónimo should be off to prison for three to eight years.
