Say What!- Jerry Hall

"I actually prefer older men. They make better lovers because they're more experienced. Young guys are fun and you get to do things you wouldn't normally do, like play pool. But I hate their taste in music. That can be pretty bad." JERRY HALL (Daily Mirror)

We here at youwish... love us some Jerry Hall. She's one strong lady, staying with Mick for all those years when every man and his gossip loving dog, knew he was cheating on her. But as much as I love her, the quote above has me confused. I wasn't aware that 'playing pool' was an activity limited only to the young. And if that's really the most exciting thing you're getting up to with a fit young fella (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, you know what I'm saying!) then you need to throw in your diva membership and send him off to someone who knows what they're doing. Janice Dickinson might be able to help you out.

Magazine Monday (Thursday Edition)- Battle of the Boys

It's the battle of the hotties for this issue of Magazine Monday- Thursday edition (I promise that one day I'll do it on a Monday).

In the blue corner we have Mr JT, looking dapper in a cashmere sweater, on the cover of Details magazine, complaining about the burden of being rich and constantly in demand for his cock.

Man it's tough being you JT, it really is. I mean, seriously, having enough money to never have to work again must be such a burden. It really must be such a heavy weight to carry around on your muscular shoulders, as you traipse from one luxury hotel to the next.

If it all gets too much to bear, I know a couple of taxi drivers, making 8 bucks an hour, who might be happy to switch jobs with you. Are you good at getting spew out of car seats?

"Chicken or fish, chicken or fish..? Man, why is choosing dinner so hard?!"

And in the black and white corner we have Orlando Bloom, on the cover of VMAN, doing his bit for the Cancer Council...

Suck that ciggie Orlando, suck it good!... Aahmm, sorry... pardon me... where was I, oh yes- Orlando on the cover of VMAN. Long hair, hippie necklace, no shirt and rollie cigarette- I think I've seen this guy outside Lunar park, fire twirling in the middle of summer.

I reckon Orlando would get on well with Matthew Mcconaughey. They could travel the countryside in a VW Combi, fire twirling and bongo playing- stopping only occasionally for magazine photo shoots and lead roles in bad romantic comedies. Watch out for them at an organics market near you.

No. Thank YOU Helmut Lang

Helmut Lang want's everyone to know-

a) He has celebrity friends.

b) That he is incredibly kind to them.

and

c) That they are all undyingly grateful for his kindness.

As first reported in New York Magazine, Helmut keeps all the letters his celebrity friends send to him. But instead of just keeping them to himself, and occasionally re-reading over a cup of Jarra on a rainy day, he's decided to publish them for the whole world to see. Below are a couple of the notes Helmut generously gave to French magazine Purple, for their latest issue.

Apparently none of the celebrities knew that the letters were going to be published. Brilliant.

(Note to self) drop Helmut Lang as a pen pal. If he release that one about your love for 19th century dolls, you're screwed!

Anna Wintour hates us...

Anna Wintour hates bloggers. According to one of the queen bee's staffers- "They are expanding the Vogue Web site and getting more involved with the Internet. But Anna hates the word 'blog' so much, she refuses to call anything on her site a blog and has charged her staff with coming up with a new word that isn't as garish-sounding. She wants it ASAP - in time for launch." However, a source close to Wintour said, "Anna just doesn't want people to refer to stories as blogs, because they're not. It's an improper use of the word." A rep said, "Anna has nothing against blogs."

She's so demanding, but if that's the way she wants it, then who am I to argue? From this moment onwards youwish... will no longer be referred to as a blog. We shall call it a 'a digital infotainment medium'. Has a much better ring to it, don't you think?

Unkle Karl- Pic of the week

Marcus- 'See what you do Karl, is you put your hand to your chin, or lip, and look down. Then you sort of stand there and make a 'mmm' sound. And that's how you think Karl. Not as hard as it looks hey?'

Karl- 'Yes I see. This thinking thing has always intrigued me. I see people do it and I just don't understand why they would waste so much time on it. I mean it's seems like such a futile activity. Growing a silver ponytail, alphabetizing your Chinese fan collection, poking models in the arse with pins- these things I can see a point to- but thinking? When has that got anyone anywhere?'

Thank you from the bottom of our black, black hearts

For all those that have been reading youwish... over the last few months, we appreciate the support. Our readership is getting bigger by the day, and we're sure this is largely thanks to those of you who are spreading the word. So keep it up. We're like desperate, narcissistic models- without your constant admiration and attention we might turn into Naomi Campbell and end up throwing a blunt object at the closet thing we have to maids (my flatemate, or in Georgie's case- her mum). And we really can't afford the lawsuits...

Love Tom and Georgie
xoxoxo

Magazine Monday- Friday addition

'You can't do it on a Friday!' Yes, yes, I know, but in much the same way that Madonna refers to New York, as 'not a place', but a 'state of mind', we shall consider Magazine Monday as a concept and not a directive. It's so much bigger than the actual day it's posted, it transcends these trivial ideas of date and time - it can be Monday, it can be Wednesday, and today- it is Friday.

And boy, is it a good one- even if I don't say so myself.

Scrolling through my pile of magazine's, I'm often drawn to similarities in cover photos. Like that math's genius in the TV show Numbers, I pick up on patterns from one cover to the next. But unlike him, the patterns I pick up rarely result in a crime being solved, or lives been saved from a crazed, code writing serial killer (but hey, we can't all do good). So you can imagine how intrigued I was, when I stumbled upon the latest covers for US Vogue and Marie Claire. See if you can spot the pattern...



Ok, I know this is going to sound really mean, but are minorities not allowed to look sexy? I mean seriously, if these covers were of Kate Moss or Gisele, they'd look all dower and sultry and be staring through the lens straight to our crotches. But because they are of a big (I use that word only in the context of the fashion world, because let's face it, she's a pretty average size in the real world) black girl and a 'normal' looking Asian woman, they have to be all fun and joyous. I mean seriously are supermodels the only ones who are allowed to look sexy?

Jennifer Hudson is hot. Why does she have to be cast as the 'funny fat girl?' And Sandra Oh, while not only having the coolest last name in the world, is also really pretty. So why does she have to be cast as the, 'interesting-to-hang-out-with-but-not-fuck' girl. I know she looks very 'Asian', but hey, she can't really do much about that, considering, you know, THAT SHE IS ASIAN.

Shame on your Anna Wintour, you're nothing if not predictable. And shame on you Joanna Coles (the editor of Marie Claire). You're name is not anywhere as cool as Sandra Oh's. And in case you haven't noticed (from the photo you have on your website) the role you cast for Sandra, seems scarily similar to the one you've cast for yourself...

New SJP line available at Steve and Barry's??!!

Sarah Jessica Parker has launched a range of clothes and accessories.
Named 'Bitten by SJP', the clothes will be stocked in budget store Steve and Barry's. The range due to go on sale June 7th, features over 400 pieces in four categories- Classics, Casual, Trend and Lounge.

When is this madness going to end? Has everyone forgotten that it was actually stylist Pat Field that made the whole Sex and the City crew look awesome?

Enough with the celebs thinking they can have ranges, perfume etc- it's tacky. And secondly, maybe SJP's time would be better spent concentrating on her movie choices- Failure to Launch was possibly the worst movie ever made!

Ok, glad I go that out of my system. I promise I won't bring my soap box into work tomorrow.
