Sometimes it can be a good thing when George Clooney leaves me alone and goes off to shoot a movie. It means I can slather on a fabulous facemask, do my nails, and settle down to watch a crap movie he isn’t starring in. It means I can try on his old Batman outfit or his ER stethoscope for hours on end in peace and quiet. It means on a cold winter’s night I can snuggle into my other favourite red hot accessory: a cute red hot water bottle that comes with its own chic de la chic red knitted poloneck sweater emblazoned with a gorgeous minimalist white cross. The best news? Hot water bottles don’t snore.

$9.95 (on sale) Red Hot Water Bottle with knitted red cover from Bed Bath n Table stores.

Rainy cold days are great for getting a lot done. You can exercise your wrists flicking through magazines, work out exactly how many calories you’ve actually consumed, run up a phone bill and then work up a sweat racing through the latest Prada catalogue. You can get the hear rate right up by jumping on Net a porter and stretching the credit card. And as you count the rain drops (relieved you are not out there getting your hair frizzy) you can sit back and admire your new Gucci umbrella sitting in the groovy Splash. Splash is the grooviest plastic umbrella stand that looks like a splash of water. It comes in all sorts of fabulous colours and can also be used to store other things you may never use: Like tennis rackets.

Sometimes it feels right to hide a few things in life: the botox scars (from the children), the chocolate in the fridge (from yourself), your pre surgery nose (from your new lover), your new lover (from your husband), your Jimmy Choos (from the puppy), the Gin (from your mother in law) and your legs (from all mankind). Then there’s the face issue. I have hidden my skin for so long I don’t even remember what it really looks like. That’s because I just adore the fabulous Stila natural finish oil free makeup. It glides on over all the cracks and fissures filling them and hiding everything in its wake. Plus you will be pleased to know it looks natural, smooth and not at all gluggy or too matte. Brilliant. Hint: hide it from friends before they try to nick it.

The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs …by Irvine Welsh
Welsh, who wrote Trainspotting (1993), gets considerable comic mileage from dual Edinburgh protagonists in this story of two men locked in a war of wills. Troubled restaurant inspector Danny Skinner is on a quest to find the mysterious father his mother will not identify. His ensuing journey takes him from Edinburgh to San Francisco. The hard-drinking, womanizing Skinner has a strange nemesis in the form of mild-mannered fellow inspector Brian Kibby. Skinner’s unfathomable, obsessive hatred of Kibby that takes over everything. Irvine Welsh’s work is a transgressive parable about the great obsessions of our time: food, sex, and celebrity. Sounds great to me.

The Break Up… Directed by Peyton Reed
Who: Jennifer Aniston, Vince Vaughn
Genre: Anti romantic comedy.
Awards: worst movie in a very long time
The Plot: Pretty, stylish Jennifer who works in funky art gallery lives with dumb, yobo Vince who has no sense of humour, bad manners and yells all the time. He is messy, chauvinistic and completely selfish. And a bad actor. She wonders if she should leave him. She is stupid. She sobs over Brad Pitt. She leaves Vince. He yells some more. She tries to. She gets a Brazilian to win him back. Oh dear. Meets handsome, brainy, intelligent, kind and sophisticated guy. Doesn’t go out with him. Sobs over Vince. The end
Acting: They play themselves: is that acting?
Photography: glossy and boring
Set design: their apartment is far too big and elegant for them .
Salon de Beaute: she just loves her long glossy hair. He hates his fat figure. She looks immaculate. He is a mess.
Wardrobe: She has obviously chosen her own wardrobe. She wears chic little black dresses, and fabulously high shoes.
Mind drifted to shopping : when he was onscreen. He is in every scene.
Botox: Of course. She drinks it. He should. I didn’t need it. It wasn’t funny.
Waterproof mascara: only for the tears at seeing such a dumb movie (instead of 2 1/2 hours of Pirates of the Caribbean.)
Smooches: happy there wasn’t more.
Blood’n’guts: I wanted to kill him.
Moral to the story: don’t ever see a film billed as an anti romantic comedy
Best worst reviews : "Plays like a 106-minute highlight reel of three seasons of a sitcom that jumped the shark midway through the sophomore year." ARIZONA DAILY STAR
“ You have no desire to see them either get back together or murder one another - you just want them to leave each other alone. FREEZE DRIED MOVIES
“ If you value your time and your relationship, don’t see this on a date." USA TODAY
“ Vaughn, who has fooled Hollywood into thinking he’s a real actor, has two basic styles: motor-riff quickly through dialogue or stand still and imitate a brick." METRO WEEKLY (WASHINGTON, DC
