Diary: Try to see it Piers's way
I'm not entirely sad to say that Piers Morgan's problems haven't gone away just yet. And nor, I imagine, have those of the once-married Heather Mills and Paul McCartney.

Diary: Take that, capitalism...
Thursday, 28 July 2011
Robbie Williams has been railing against the evils of capitalism on his personal blog.
Diary: Tables are turned at the Wolseley
Wednesday, 27 July 2011
The late Lucian Freud famously dined at the Wolseley almost every night, at a corner table, which staff decorated with a black cloth and a single candle as news of the artist's death was announced last week.
Diary: Time for that Facebook cull, Mr Gove
Tuesday, 26 July 2011
Given that he (allegedly) recommended Andy Coulson as Tory comms director, and (allegedly) invited James Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks to his 40th birthday party, you may be surprised to learn that George (n� Gideon) Osborne is said to be intensely relaxed about the imminent publication of ministers' meetings with media execs.
Diary: Wake up, Ed, and get stuck into Lord Leveson

Diary: News International - The Movie! and other disappointments
Tuesday, 19 July 2011
I'm deeply sorry, and just a little ashamed, to report that my excitement last week at having won the film rights to the phone-hacking saga has proven to be unwarranted. My lawyers now inform me that these so-called "rights" – which I acquired for a song (well, £1,000 and a modest bank-transfer fee) from an enterprising Nigerian fellow named Benjamin, who emailed me unexpectedly with the generous proposition – would in fact fetch marginally less on eBay than a soiled copy of the News of the World's commemorative final edition.
Matthew Norman on Monday: Maybe it's time for the Murdochs to get some family psychotherapy
Monday, 18 July 2011
What is needed at this point in the saga, I can't help feeling, is neither a select committee nor a judicial inquiry, but family psychotherapy on an industrial scale. Take Liz Murdoch. If Liz's volcanic rage at being the biological daughter less loved by Daddy than the adopted sister with the Medusa tresses erupted with "Rebekah fucked the company", we must look to the distant past for the genesis of her filial anguish.
Diary: Hacking goes to Hollywood
Friday, 15 July 2011
