A good week for ...

Minigarchs

Our favourite new word describes someone not quite as rich as an oligarch. The anonymous minigarch (annual income only $50m) having a particularly good week was the collector who bought Damien Hirst's first Moscow exhibition in its entirety.

Cheesecake

Along with other 1970s puddings, cheesecake is a national favourite once more, with sales having risen 46 per cent in the last year. Baby-boomers evidently want their piece of comfort food.

Royal small talk

Jordan, the model and general eminence, met Prince Charles and Camilla at the Royal Variety Performance. Camilla claimed that she was a fan who watched Jordan on I'm a Celebrity and knew all about her marriage to Peter Andre. HRH also revealed herself to be a fan of Take That. Groovy.

Black dresses

After 45 years, the Givenchy frock Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's was sold to a telephone bidder for £467,000 at an auction last week.

A bad week for ...

George Clooney

The Hollywood star's beloved potbelly pig Max has died. He was 19. The Oscar winner, who is 45, owned the swine for 18 years. It is at this point that we'd normally note that this has probably been Gorgeous George's longest relationship, if the great man had not said the very same thing himself.

Lucian Freud

The distinguished artist was last week fingered for chucking a roll at the celebtastic (celebrity + fantastic) Wolseley restaurant. He was upset, apparently, by the fact that a father was taking photographs of his daughter's 21st birthday supper at a nearby table. Lovely to see that the 84-year-old Freud is holding on to his child within.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

The President of Iran is in trouble for watching women dancing and singing in the opening ceremony at the Asian Games in Qatar. Clerics in his homeland aren't happy. Silly man; does he not know that any show of joy is a very bad thing?
