My Usual Gym Playlist I Swapped My Iconic Rom-Com Songs I Swapped My Usual Gym Playlist

www.popsugar.co.uk, February 21, 2024
I've always been a bit of a rom-com girl. My classmates and I would order significant portions of Pizza Hut and yell advice at the characters through the movie. But the best part of all was always the music. If it was the montage of women slipping on their lingerie to KT Tunstall's "Now I See" in "The Devil Wears Prada," or more recently, Still Woozy's hit single "Anyone But You," rom-com music has a way of sticking with you. So, when I noticed that my own fitness playlist needed to be updated, I wondered why I hadn't rushed to rom-coms earlier. I created a new playlist featuring 29 songs from some of the most popular rom-coms of all time, including "How to Lose a Guy in ten Days," "How to Lose a Guy in ten days," "How to Lose a Guy in ten Days," "Someone Good" and "27 Dresses," to name a few. I looked for scene-stealing tracks that would withstand the chaos of a commercial gym when making my picks. I was feeling secure with my final lineup at first, but I became concerned when this new compilation would hype me up in the same way I'd come to expect from my regular workout pick.

ALEXANDRA SHULMAN'S NOTEBOOK: Other halves are a lot less jolly when it comes to flying on business

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 21, 2023
ALEXANDRA SHULMAN: Akshata Murthy's wife was with her husband for the first time on a formal overseas trip, indicating that she is the PM's wife. As anyone who has flown for business knows, the individual on the home front has a sneaking suspicion that the traveller is enjoying a jolly without them. They roar as they take their 'pink ticket' for a bit of fun and games. Taking your partner with you prevents the faintly lemon-lipped glance on your return, although I have to say that traveling with someone with you on a business trip is a mixed blessing.

You'd never wear another denim skirt, but SHANE WATSON showed how to dress like a grown up

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 2, 2023
Everyone remembers their first denim skirt. I made mine at school from a cut-up pair of jeans and, like all the skirts made in the summer of 1974, it was pencil tight and barely wearable. Annie's hair was shorter, darker, and stretchier than those of the 1980s. In the 1990s, there was a burgeoning demand for second-hand midi jean skirts with frayed hems, and Laura, a friend of mine, wore her cowboy boots and fell in love for the first time. Because summer 2023 is going to be denim-drenched, I mention these skirts going back nearly half a century (gulp). And in those oversize denim jackets, the new-look wider jeans, the silk denim shirts, and the belted shirtdresses, the new denim skirt is looking much like the smart buy of the season.

Jim Gordon, who appeared in some of rock's top companies in the 60s and 70s, died of natural causes Monday at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, his publicist reported Tuesday that the former actor was now at peace 'after a long wait and a lifelong fight with mental illness.'

His career began as a founding member of Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominos and as one of George Harrison's All Things Must Pass's top drummers, with hundreds of his songs ranging from Nas and Jay-Z to this day. In addition to being a respected co-writer on Clapton's 1970 masterpiece, his stick work can be heard on popular albums such as the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and singles such as Carly Simon's 'You're So Vain'.

JENNI MURRAY: 'I witnessed a man punching a woman and to my shame I did nothing about it'

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 27, 2022
JENNI MURRAY: I'm ashamed to say that I've been to an event that has involved sexual assault or even violence, but I've turned away and done nothing about it. The first took place on a Tube train where everyone was crushed together like sardines. A young woman appeared to be unsure and holding her hand behind her back. Her bottom was fondled by an elegantly dressed middle-aged man. She tried to deter him. He pressed his body into hers as he continued. She looked around for support. None came from me or someone else, but we did all know what was going on. I was involved in the second incident in central London near Buckingham Palace. A couple were having a terrible row at a street corner. The verbal exchange came to a halt as he slapped her face and then punched her in the chest, throwing her to the ground.
