One to wait for the paperback - Edmund White - City Boy: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/t

Ah, when two realities meet. There I was reading Edmund White’s tales of 1970s gay New York mere blocks from where all the action — and what action! — took place. But, as White himself laments, it’s all changed now. ...

A balanced view from the Guardian of the film musical Nine (which I really liked): http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/
www.guardian.co.uk
The majority of the critics have awarded Rob Marshall's star-spangled musical a big fat zero. But the award voters don't seem to agree: Daniel Day-Lewis isn't the only cast member to have bagged a nomination…

P.Viktor So we have had Christmas and New Year already. All that's left is my birthday tomorrow. Such celebrations!
Happy New year to all my regular readers (you know who you are). No doubt you are feeling much as I do this morning - very hungover and regretting somewhat the excesses of the night before. Not exactly the best start to 2010, but they do say start as you mean to go on...
I would have to say it’s rather difficult to summarise or define 2009 now we are at the end of it. It has been one of those years in which certain significant events have taken place, but the thing as a whole has been neither unified nor particularly memorable. ...
For the past two decades there has been something conspicuously absent from pop music in the United Kingdom – the once vaunted male popstar. ...
10) Tori Amos – Abnormally Attracted to Sin (4/5)Many diehard fans of Tori Amos had given up hope on an album to rival her nineties output, having to endure the likes of The Beekeeper (2005) and American Doll Posse (2007) – valiant efforts, but nothing like the quality of her better known wor...
