‘How I got sucked into a cult’

The couple hitched a lift to the reserve. “It was breathtakingly beautiful and instantly inspiring, full of vibrant, happy people living in easy buildings made from wind-felled trees. There was no electricity, radio or television. Allie and I were broke, so when they offered to let us stay as volunteers, it was like a dream. “There was a dress code,” he continues. “Very short hair and beards for men – the founder didn’t want us looking like hippies to outsiders ...

Sam Worthington on ‘Man on a Ledge’

Some facets of Worthington’s life have inevitably altered. Earlier in his career he stated he had no intention of putting down roots. Suburbia and the white picket fence was anathema to him. “When I’m 60 maybe I’ll settle down,” he told me, also admitting that relationships were difficult because of his intense approach to work. “I wouldn’t want to live with me,” he joked. Together with his girlfriend at the time, Natalie Mark, he moved gipsy-like from hotel room to ...

Rata kredytu kalkulator-rata kredytu kalkulator

Co uczynić kiedy mamy kłopoty ze spłacaniem podjętych pożyczek? W obecnych czasach w pewnym sensie każdy z nas ma wzięty jakiś dług. A to na pojazd, dom – czy mały – komputer itp. Poniektórym zdarza się zapożyczać na poczet rozlicznych okazji: świąt, wyjazdów na wczasy, urodzin itp. Zaciągając zobowiązanie, optymistycznie spoglądamy w przyszłość wierząc, iż opłacanie opłat będzie tak łatwe jak w czasie wzięcia pożyczki. I podczas gdy niespodzianie okazuje się iż nie jesteśmy w stanie oddać podjętych długów, wpadamy ...

Food critic’s ‘Bad Romance’ with Lady Gaga restaurant

The New York Post’s Steve Cuozzo’s withering review accused the Italian restaurant “Joanne Trattoria” of serving “calamari like leather” and “flaccid” shellfish pasta that recalled the airplane food served “at 35,000″. He claimed his two-and-a-half-hour meal “seemed like as many days”, writing: “Forget the Edge of Glory. On opening night, ‘Lady Gaga restaurant’ Joanne… was closer to the edge of collapse”. “This has been a lifelong dream, and I could not be happier that it’s finally happening,” Mr Germanotta told ...

Sharon Watts back on Albert Square

Former Queen Vic landlady Sharon has been one of the show’s key characters and her affair with brother-in-law Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) led to one of the show’s highest rating episodes. It also prompted her departure from the series in 1994. Sharon returned in 2001, to take over at the Vic, which had formerly been run by her adoptive parents, Angie and Den Watts. She stayed until 2004 and then returned again the following year, only to bow out once ...

Stephen Hester got it wrong, states Anthea Turner

The latest Register of Members’ Interests shows that the shadow chancellor spent no fewer than 16 hours on a speech he delivered for The Economist in New York last October. For all this, he received a relatively modest £2,486. Blair wouldn’t get out of bed for less than a six-figure sum. Sir Richard Paget, the cousin of the late Lord Glenconner, is celebrating the engagement of his daughter Emma, who will marry Mark Arnold, 29, a Dubai-based business consultant, this ...

Peter Capaldi: ‘Thick Of It spin physician Malcolm Tucker was not based on Alastair Campbell’

“The producers, too. Harvey Weinstein and the team at Miramax were long celebrated for Malcolm-like behaviour, so in fact they were the people I thought about. That was the model I took, rather than Alastair Campbell, as I didn’t know him. Alastair might be a bit disappointed to know this.” Mr Campbell has previously rejected suggestions that the bullying political aide portrayed by Capaldi bears any resemblance to himself, even though he has admitted swearing liberally at work.

Bear Grylls: ‘Now I’m only 90 per cent reckless’

“I’ve met her and she’s a very vivacious person, and I think it’s truly inspirational that someone as busy and as high-profile can spare the time to volunteer,” states Grylls. In truth, she’s more likely to find herself potholing or sea-kayaking than mastering double overhand knots, such is the gung-ho ethos of modern scouting. And indeed, the ethos of Grylls, our Eton-educated, buccaneering national hero, who broke his back in a free-fall parachute in Zambia in 1996, yet 18 months ...

Fearless Sarah, Duchess of York returns behind the camera

The Duchess came up with the idea for the film, which told the story of how Queen Victoria, played by Emily Blunt, fell for Prince Albert, portrayed by Rupert Friend. It won an Oscar and a Bafta, and made a profit of more than £25 million. The film had a screenplay by Julian Fellowes, the creator of Downton Abbey, and featured a walk-on part by one of the Duchess’s two daughters, Princess Beatrice, as a lady-in-waiting. The Turkish arrest warrant could ...

Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone drives neighbours mad

Petra Ecclestone was forced to drop plans to demolish a 200-year-old lodge after outraged neighbours accused her of being responsible for “Botox” architecture. Now, the daughter of the Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has upset the Chelsea crowd with her renovations. “The noise is a nightmare at eight every morning, on the dot, and Saturday mornings as well,” states Isla Baring, the daughter of the Australian impresario Sir Frank Tait. “They are drilling down three or four blocks.
