20 August 2008
David Beckham's stabbed pal: "That blade ruined my life".
THE childhood pal of David Beckham left paralysed in a horrific knife attack told The Sun last night: “That blade ruined my life.”
Glenn Fielder was left wheel-chair-bound at the age of 16 when his spinal cord was almost severed with a 10ins serrated Rambo knife.
His heartbreaking story came to light when England soccer hero Becks told on Monday of his agony at seeing a friend fall victim to knife crime.
Glenn, 33, said: “I’m glad David brought it up. I think it has a big effect on him. We used to play football together on the street. ...

SFTW Meets Glasvegas. "We have gone from 2nd gear to 5th in one movement."
THE last time SFTW spoke to Glasvegas singer James Allan he said he would know when he’d made it when he started buying Tesco’s Finest instead of own-brand foods.
That was in January when the Scottish quartet were one of a handful of hotly tipped bands poised to make 2008 their year.
Today they’re more than that. They’re the band everyone name-checks as their favourite new act and who former Creation boss Alan McGee declared were “the best Scottish band for 20 years”. ...
Teddy Thompson

"I admit I'm retro ... not a lot of emo going on."
IT can’t be easy going into a music career after your parent has already scaled the highest heights imaginable. Try asking Jakob Dylan or Sean Lennon.
For Teddy Thompson, it’s somehow a very different story. Despite both his parents, Richard and Linda Thompson, being folk-rock legends he claims he doesn’t feel the same pressure.
“They’ve always been very supportive and I like talking about them,” he says. “They’re cult figures who deserve more success than they’ve ever had.”
Teddy has just made the record of his life. A Piece Of What You Need bristles with upbeat pop tunes matched to incisive lyrics and confirms a compelling talent that first emerged in 2000 with a self-titled debut album.
The new record’s first single In My Arms (out Monday) is three minutes of lilting summer airiness (shame about all the rain) and Can’t Sing Straight is a hilarious country hoedown.
Here, Teddy discusses the album, his parents and his recipe for survival in the choppy waters of the music business. He also explains why he’s not ashamed to be “retro”.
Monty Panesar
The Sun
14 August 2008
"If you have a dream, stick at it." England cricket ace's message to kids on Broken Britain.
SPORTING role models don’t come much quieter than Monty Panesar.
There is none of Ronaldo’s arrogance, Pietersen’s swagger or Beckham’s bling.
England bowler Monty avoids the limelight like one of his spin deliveries swerves an opponent’s bat.
Yesterday he managed to look back on England’s recent test series against South Africa and look forward to the next Ashes series with equal praise for his deposed captain Michael Vaughan and new captain Kevin Pietersen.
Frank Lampard
The Sun
by Ian Mcgarry
14 August 2008
"The moment I knew that I'd have to stay." Frank Lampard on his new £39m deal.
IT was a moment of tribute from his team-mates which convinced Frank Lampard his future was at Chelsea.
Lamps ended 18 months of uncertainty yesterday by signing a new five-year contract which will see him finish his career at Stamford Bridge.
The record-breaking £39.2million deal will see him retire a wealthy man.
But the England midfield ace revealed it was not all about what happened in negotiations but also on the pitch which helped make up his mind.
Having lost his mother, Pat, to pneumonia last April, Lampard could barely watch his team play Manchester United in a possible title-decider the weekend following her death.

Meet the German Keeley. Claudia Ciesla talks to The Sun. Oh, and she strips for the newspaper, too.
SHE’S the biggest pin-up in Germany and their equivalent of our Page 3 star KEELEY.
But single girl CLAUDIA CIESLA says that she might leave the country and settle down in Britain – if the time, and the man, was right.
Posing for The Sun, the glamour girl told us: “The English men are really friendly and polite – they are true gentlemen.
“Me and my friend Christina were chatting the other day and we were talking about which country we’d like a man from.
“We said that wherever we’ve been in the world – Argentina, Germany, everywhere – that actually in England there are the best men.
“They make you feel like a queen."

Danii Minogue

12 August 2008
"I'll feed Cheryl - I won't fight her".
DANNII Minogue last night vowed not to fight with X Factor co-star Cheryl Cole — but FEED her.
And the judge promised: "I won't kick off."
Dannii, 36, had a string of on and off-screen rows with Cheryl’s gobby predecessor Sharon Osbourne.
Dannii said she felt “bullied” by Sharon and is pleased she’s gone. She added: “It’s a very different atmosphere, I’m loads happier. Last year it was very difficult to bite my tongue at times.
“This is why it’s weird when people think me and Cheryl are rowing. If anyone was provoked enough to kick off last year, it was me, and I didn’t.
“So I’m definitely not kicking off with Cheryl. It’s not in my nature.”
In her only newspaper interview before the X Factor returns to our screens, Dannii said Cheryl’s arrival has stirred things up for Simon and their fellow judge Louis Walsh, who sided with Sharon.

12 August 2008
"As I grieved for my husband I found he hasd a secret family". Widow shock after trucker fooled her for 24 years.
JULIE PRATT held hubby Trevor as he died of cancer while whispering to her: “I love you.”
She was consumed with grief that the man she shared her life with had been torn away from her and their two children.
Yet while still mourning her world was further torn apart as she was told that, during all their years together, she had been sharing her man with a secret family.
R.E.M

"When I was a dishwasher, I was the best fucking dishwasher in history."
SFTW joins R.E.M in the pouring rain.
MY first up-close glimpse of America’s greatest rock band of the past 30 years (a personal view I hasten to add) begins in Potsdamer Platz, Berlin.
No disrespect to Michael, interviewed twice in recent years by SFTW, but I’m on a mission to find out what makes Peter, one of the world’s great musos, tick.....
Under glowering grey early afternoon skies with rain falling in impossible unbroken sheets, I rush from a hotel lobby in the famous old square, splashing through puddles the size of snooker tables, to one of three imposing black tour buses lined up outside.
One is reserved for R.E.M.’s voice, Michael Stipe, and one for its pulse, bass player Mike Mills. I’m heading for the one occupied by guitarist Peter Buck.

New Kids on the Block
The Sun
by Jacqui Swift
8 August 2008
SFTW meets New Kids on the Block. "When this ends we will be in our 40s...no more comebacks!"
REMEMBER 1989 when Madonna topped the singles charts with Like A Prayer, Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade was a box-office smash, Liverpool beat Everton 3–2 in the FA Cup Final and the Berlin Wall came down?
Well for pre-pubescent girls, the year meant only one thing: the arrival of New Kids On The Block (cue hysterical screaming).
Brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, and Danny Wood — five buff guys from Boston who had the Right Stuff with their shiny white teeth, falsetto vocals, street fashion and slinky dance moves.
Fast forward 19 years and SFTW are in Burbank, California, 12 miles outside West Hollywood, at a rehearsal studio where the five are gearing up for their forthcoming world tour and release of their comeback album, titled, well what else but The Block. ...

by Steve Brenner
7 August 2008
'I've accepted what doctors say, but I'm determined to make the most of the time I have left." Sir Bobby Robson on his brave battle.
BOBBY ROBSON has won countless battles during a career which has earned him a permanent place in the nation’s hearts.
But his latest fight, sadly, will be his last.
English football’s favourite knight has admitted that a fifth bout of cancer affecting his lungs will be the one which sends him to his grave.
He knows his time is coming to an end in a matter of months.
Yet his legacy will never die. No one would ever let that happen.
Sir Bobby has taken on and outwitted many a top-notch coach and team in his glorious life. ....
Jerry Springer
The Sun

5 August 2008
TALKSHOW host Jerry Springer sobs on camera after learning what happened to his Jewish grandmothers in the Second World War.
The TV star, born in a London Tube station during an air raid, has long known that members of his family vanished in Nazi Germany.
His mother and father were forced to leave their parents behind when they fled Hitler’s regime for England in 1939.
TV star's emotional journey to the Nazi death camps.
Jerry, born in 1944, then went with his parents Richard and Margot and nine-year-old sister Evelyn to the US in 1949.
He never knew what became of those left behind — until now.

'I couldn't afford healthy food for my Georgia'
THE mum of 33-stone teen Georgia Davis last night admitted: “I’m partly to blame” — as she faced angry accusations of poor parenting.
Lesley Miles said she has fed Georgia a deadly diet since she was a tot — but could not afford good food.
The Sun revealed yesterday that Georgia, 15, has been warned she could die at any time unless she loses 20 stones.
But the tragic schoolgirl is hooked on a diet of junk food. ...
