Become a slum landlord!

This is a fantastic idea -- Live Monopoly!



One game takes 24 hours... You get £15m to spend on property in London, then you pick one of 18 GPS enabled taxis as your playing piece.



Every time a rival cab passes one of your properties, they pay you rent. Every time your cab lands on another player's property, you have to pay them rent.



At the end of the day, the person with the most money wins! There are even some London-based prizes, including the underwhelming "free meal at Nandos every month for a year". (For those of you who don't know, Nandos is a restaurant that only serves one item - chicken. They add a service charge to your bill, even though it's self-service. It is the worst place on earth.)



Unfortunately, unlike real Monopoly, this game doesn't allow you to cheat by nicking all the £500 notes when the other players are at the loo.

All your suits are custom-made in London

Back in the 90s, we were fascinated by Madonna's pointy bra.

What was she keeping in there? Nobody really knew, but we reckoned it was either a crucifix or a pyramint.

How wrong we were. Because, according to a 'source' on this website, Madonna likes to store pink crystals in her knocker-holster.

What a pervy old minx.

Two quick reads for Friday

Pete Townshend on the Jacko trial, getting txts from Geldof, and his haircut in 1985.

If you're hiding in a portaloo with the hope of sneaking into Glastonbury, don't triumphantly leap out of the can before you're inside the fence!

Baby can I hold you (and perform an emergency medical manoevre on you) tonight?

So Ronan Keating is good for something, after all...

At a recent charity event, he came up behind one of his fans, wrapped his manly arms around her waist, and grasped her firmly.

With a sudden upwards thrust, and a filthy grunt... he performed the Heimlich manouevre, dislodging a piece of bread from her gullet.

What did you think we meant? Honestly, your minds are in the gutter.

If you can't wait to get your hands on the new Goldfrapp single, Fluxblog has a naughty mp3 of it. But you have to promise to buy the real thing on August 8th, or we shall be very, very angry with you.

On a side note - doesn't the cover for the single look eerily similar to the artwork for Sophie Ellis-Bextor's last album?

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" has topped a list of memorable movie quotes by the American Film Institute. Imagine how different things would have been if they'd gone with the alternative: "Frankly, my indifference is boundless."

Some positive news from the Kylie camp. Australian fans have been told to hold on to their tickets because her live shows may still be rescheduled.

News squelch

Janet Jackson apologised for her lack of humour when Alan Cumming made reference to her 'wardrobe malfunction' at an awards ceremony the other night.

"I'm going to leave the jokes to the late-night (comics), if that's okay," she told the audience.

Jackson is currently appearing as a pole-dancer in her boyfriend's new video.

Speaking of Cumming (ho-ho), the actor won't be appearing in the new X-Men film, according to his website. So, having lost a director and a key member of the cast, will this film be any cop? Our movie correspondent (a Super 8 ball we found in Oxfam) says "Heck, no!"

Melanie B is blocking a Live 8 Spice Girls renuion, says Bob Geldof.

Talking to Richard and Judy, he divulged that Scary Spice "has difficulty going back to something she did in the past". What, like being successful?

Whaddayknow? Alicia Silverstone got hitched! Awwww.

Nothing says "my album is fucking awful" better than re-releasing it with a handful of new songs and a couple of videos does it, 'Fiddy'?

Least surprising news of the day? Beyoncé already has some solo work lined up. Couldn't she at least have kept it quiet until Michelle and Kelly had had the chance to visit the job centre?

Incredulous quote of the day?

You can't handle the juice

Tom Cruise hasn't been doing himself any favours recently, what with the mad shouting, the jumping up and down, the wrestling with Oprah, and the vampirical 'relationship' with Katies Holmes' credibility.



But we have to admit he comes off quite well from the whole squirting-water-in-his-face incident. His reactions seem almost human. You can even imagine sharing his indignation.



Luckily, tvgasm have redubbed the whole incident as though it were porn, robbing Cruise of his dignity all over again. Hooray!



Now we can go back to deciding who should replace Katie on our laminated list.
