An unprecedented era of book-enjoyment has come
to a halt this month, as children around the world finish the final
chapter of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. "I didn't know whether Harry
or Voldemort was going to die in Book Seven," one fan said. "But I've always
known that when the series ended, I'd be saying ‘avada kedavra' to my interest
in books."
After building casinos in Macau and Hong Kong, James Packer has
increased his exposure to the gambling industry after deciding to
chance his fortune on another wife.Most experts rate the mogul's business decisions as considerably more
sound than those he makes about his personal life. "The Asian gambling
market will be around for the long haul," one analyst said. "Whereas
historical performance figures show that James' model acquisitions
leave him significantly in the red after a few years."
A judge has ruled Paris Hilton will be
"in" custody this season, sentencing her to 45 days in county jail. "Paris is known for her variety of looks," he said. "This season it'll be stripes." The judge said he had considered a community service order instead
of jail, but had decided that Hilton could best serve the community by
being removed from it.
The producers of Big Brother have honoured a contestant's father's wish
that his daughter Emma not be told of his death. "I've been watching
the series, and I know how depressing the goings-on in that house are,"
he told family members. "I'm worried that the news could tip her over
the edge." Instead, all housemates will be allowed to share in the moment at a special, prime-time ‘Friday Night Funeral' episode.
Although the pair have no immediate intentions to quit
churning out episode after episode of catchphrase-based comedy, Little
Britain creators Matt Lucas and David Walliams have annouced that even they
have grown weary of the show's repetitious, endlessly quoted toilet humour. "It's a dilemma, because we're sick to death of it, but it's just so lucrative," Lucas said. "The BBC keeps asking us to do more, and we say yeah, but no, but yeah, but no. But then they wave even more money at us, and we say yeah."
