Showbiz Shithole

Imagine my glee when I had Melanie C lined up for a 10am chinwag. It all went speedily - if uninterestingly - enough, with Mel holding forth about her new album and how there won’t be a Spice Girls reunion. So I was somewhat bemused when at the end of the interview she asked her PR what publication I worked for. When she found out instead of laughing and slamming the phone down - which would have been the appropriate reaction - she went off on a weird tangent. She started saying "mate, mate you won’t stitch me up will you mate?" but in a kind of overbearing way. Alas, she didn’t say anything interesting so she’s got no worries there. Please don’t ‘mate’ me again though Mel. My nerves can’t stand it...
