Matt Damon revealed that in the new Liberace biopic, Behind the Candelabra "I had to come out of the pool, go over to Michael Douglas, straddle him on a chaise lounge and start kissing him. It's not like I kiss him just once. We drew it up like a football plan." Lindsay Lohan's probation was revoked, she faced... Continue Reading →
Gossip is my hobby, a bit like stamp collecting or bird watching. Instead of hyperventilating over latest Cayman Islands Christmas collection or kingfisher sighting, I get excited about juicy Hollywood tidbits. It's a hangover from editing Woman's Day for six years. Oh, what am I talking about - I've always been a gossip junkie. Terribly... Continue Reading →
Sorry, no blog today. I'm too bleak. Not even my new red shoes are turning my frown upside down.

The Sprogs like it too, as long as I keep that roti bread coming ... Recipe: Malaysian-style curried sausages 1 tablespoon peanut or rice bran... Continue Reading →
* Justin Bieber told his Twitter followers he was '*Lingse*' - which some claimed was an anagram for the word 'single'. He deleted it soon after. Then deleted girlfriend Selena Gomez soon after that. * Anne Hathaway took the mickey out of Katie Holmes on Saturday Night Live (and will now be praying she never runs... Continue Reading →
I invariably over-cater whenever we host a barbecue, there are always so many snags leftover. So I've been devising creative ways to repurpose them for the next night's dinner. This recipe is the result of one of my experiments (also inspired by a jar of Sacla pasta sauce I got in a magazine goodie bag).... Continue Reading →
I thought it was about time I started blogging a few more low-carb dinners ... and eating them too! Here's what we ate in the Household last night. Lovely, fresh, light, clean flavours. Yum. Recipe: Grilled salmon with roasted capsicum salad 3 red capsicums 2 tablespoons chilli-infused olive oil 1 red onion, peeled, halved and... Continue Reading →
I created this dessert as part of a Mexican feast that I served a gaggle of friends. It's a luscious mix of fresh mandarin cream and Grand Marnier, with a zingy sprinkle of chilli chocolate on top. Recipe: Mandarin Mousse 10 mandarins, outer and inner skin and seeds removed, flesh chopped 4 large eggs, separated 12 tablespoons of sugar... Continue Reading →
