I've had a Google and apparently Bob Carolgees runs a Candle shop in Frodsham Cheshire called Carolgees candles. Poor spit the dog was sold at auction in 2004. Atleast he won't be spitting at the customers In the candle shop!

Mary Elizabeth Winstead Was mainly gossip fodder the last few years for her affair with Ewan McGregor, they are now married and have a kid. She’s never been out of work though.

Nick Berry. I think he stepped back from acting and set up a production company and spent lots of time with his family/kids

Mary Elizabeth is Ewan McGregors newish brood mare so no wonder they're both quiet.

Bloody hell, that’s some choice language.

Ewan McGregor was briefly in the Traitors Red Nose Day sketch last night.
It's funny how people are everywhere , then they just disappear.

I sometimes wonder what happened to Julie Covington - Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson didn't disappear from performing in the same way

covington was brilliant. Where is she now? They need to re-run Rock Follies. They don’t make series like that any more.

Edith Bowman is presenting a 20 part programme on BBC1 Scotland called Food Fest Scotland with Colin Murray, her old Radio 1 co-host (who now lives here). It's fantastic.

Cliff Richard is doing a tour later this year.

Paris Hilton has been publicising the awful practice of rich parents putting their children into boot camp type schools and being taken there in the middle of the night in handcuffs. (Which is all detailed in her new book)

Yes, she's on just before Sounds of the 70s, which is presented by Johnnie Walker. Her programme is show tunes, I think.
