QUOTE OF THE DAY

Janet Street-Porter on the latest issue of Deadline out today: “I think it gives Closer a run for its money.”

Imogen cracks up – again

“Why am I here? I can’t take photographs, I’ve run out of contacts, they should have fired me,” said an emotional Imogen.

“What have I set up? Nothing because none of my contacts are talking to me any more because they all hate me.”

Darryn said he thought Imogen should have been sacked last week and not Abi. Joe agreed. “She doesn’t want to be here and she’s given up. She knows it and we know it.”

Darryn said later: “There’s no space in journalism for sensitive people. She should have been fired as far as I’m concerned.”

Janet called Ingrid and Imogen into her office for a pep talk. She told them both she thought they were looking fragile and that it was time to show the boys that they were as good as them.

Dom’s ego takes a pounding

Dom was gutted when he found out how much his autograph would sell for.

He started work on a feature about how autograph hunters are paid by organised businessmen who sell their autographs on eBay.

He asked a genuine autograph hunter how much his own autograph would be worth: “About 10 or 15 quid,” he was told.

A dejected looking Dom replied: “Jesus Christ!”

He was even more upset when told that movie star Jude Law’s signature would fetch five times more.

“Jude law is five times better than me!”

Victoria Beckham slammed in Ingrid’s interview

Ingrid interviewed ‘hairdresser to the stars’ Michael Rasser who had a few choice words to say about Victoria Beckham.

Yvette: “Are there any modern celebrities that make you think ‘I could have done a much better job myself’?”

“I hate to be bitchy sounding,” said Rasser, before adding: “I think Mrs Beckham has to find her roots – literally.”

When asked what he thought of her cropped hairstyle, he sniped: “I don’t know what she is doing to herself. She is trying to alter her image. I don’t know if she knows where she is going – and I can’t stand that pout.”

He also let slip that he would not like to cut ZhaZha Gabor’s hair again. “What a nightmare. She is the celebrity from hell,” he said.

Yvette bumps into Paul

Yvette spotted Paul McCartney in the street and asked the former Beatle if he would pose for a snap, which he duly did. Afterwards she admitted: “We had a little chat about Heather – nothing for the magazine as I’m not getting into trouble.”

Janet may have something to say about that.

Yvette’s turning into potty mouth

Former Blue Peter presenter Yvette Fielding admitted that hanging around with the male paparazzo is rubbing off on her.

“I am turning into a bloke saying things like nice tush and nice bum. Something happens to me when I come here with the other photographers. I turn into this leery bloke and if I have to do a scrum I am in there and the language comes out – I say things like get yer tits out and show us yer bum.”

Dom winds up Iwan

His new found fame seems to be going to Dom Jolly’s head. After winding up just about everyone at the launch of Piers Morgan’s new book, including mother and daughter Eve Pollard and Claudia Winkleman who he asked to ‘snog’, Dom’s set his sights on Iwan.

The practical joker wrote a card from ‘Darryn’ which he placed on Iwan’s desk. A chuffed Iwan ripped open the envelope and read out the card. “Iwan, second place isn’t good enough for you, pack your bags.”

Unaware it was a wind up, Iwan said: “That’s made my day that has. I’ve sent the work experience boy off to get it framed for me, that’s how much it means to me.”

When the penny dropped and he realised he’d been had, Iwan was fuming. He suspected Dom was behind the plot and began planning his revenge. Watch this space…

Janet reveals the celebs up for the chop

Editor Janet Street-Porter discussed who should clear their desk with copy editor Joe Mott and Picture Editor Darryn Lyons. In the end she decided that Ingrid, Imogen and Dom would face the sack – which will be shown tomorrow night.

Referring to Imogen and Ingrid’s recent waterworks she said: “I took the job on this magazine to be an editor not a f**king psychologist. I’ve had it with the couch and the Kleenex.”
