Re: Lorraine this morning.

No Helen, and no mention re: tomorrow, although hallie rang up immediately and was assured Helen was still part of the show, but had 'other commitments'.

I hope these are real, fruitful commitments for her future, and not fanciful PR cover-ups. I'm really not being paranoid here, it's just that these euphemisms are often rolled out for public figures, i.e.

Spending more time with his family (sacked)
Just good friends
(Having a rampant and steamy affair)
I have complete faith in him as a manager
(Start looking in the Sunday league)

No doubt we will all find out sooner or later.

brian made two brief appearances though, chatting to Ben at the premiere of that Monsters film.

Basically he said he thought he should replace Kym in Hearsay, and when asked who he thought was the real monster in the BB house said, 'Oh, I couldn't say!.. Narinder!' I just have a feeling he had someone else in mind and thought Naz would forgive him that one!
