The Observer

A good week for ...

 

Cardinal Newman
The Vatican has signalled that beatification is on the way for the 19th-century Anglican convert, and possibly this year. All that remains is to find proof of a couple of miracles he performed - these being the standard trade-off for a sainthood.

 

Jonathan Ive
The designer of the iPod and iPhone has been voted the most influential Brit in America by Time Magazine. No surprise there: Ive collects gongs with fantastic regularity. Second place, however, goes to the television supernanny Jo Frost. Who'd have thunk it?

 

Kenneth Branagh
The thesp can take a break from Shakespeare, now he's signed a deal to play a detective in a new BBC flagship drama. He'll play Wallander, a world-weary Swedish detective. We're thinking Hamlet, up a bit and to the right.

 

Washing up
A Birmingham-based company has started making bowls and plates out of bread, with the idea that you can finish your meal and then devour the bowl. Just remember to leave space.

 

Facebook
A Cambridge University admissions tutor admitted that he's used it to check up on applicants - so, kids: go easy on the decadence.

 

Tim Burton
Rave reviews are flowing after the premiere of his Sweeney Todd, starring the usual team of girlfriend Helena Bonham Carter and best friend Johnny Depp. Burton has already been tipped for an Oscar and we like nothing more than a bit of throat-slitting hairdressing.

A bad week for ...

 

 

 

Tradition
A Lib Dem MP called Lynne Featherstone has made a bid for the limelight by reporting the monarchy to the Equality Commission because it goes in for  primogeniture. She has this down as 'sexist'. We wonder where it'll stop: why won't the third-born be able to claim it's discriminatory if an older sibling inherits?

 

Marcus Agius
The chairman of Barclay's was the target of £10,000 fraud. And it wasn't very complicated either: a conman applied for a credit card in his name and then turned up at a branch of Barclay's and withdrew the money. Hardly the most complex heist of the century, but highly effective.

 

Ed Balls
He may be very close to Gordon Brown but the secretary of state for Children (amongst other things) doesn't know the colours of the rainbow. Asked to name them in parliament, he managed to include pink and miss out indigo. By way of explanation he said 'I was using the song'. Which answer at least had the merit of being sweet.

 

Stuart Rose
The dynamic boss of Marks and Spencer, who has been credited with turning around the store's fortunes, now finds it facing a 2.2 per cent fall in sales, and a 20 per cent fall in share price. It'll take more than Twiggy this time, we fear.

 

Good Taste
Or indeed any taste at all. A London based agency which supplies celebrity doubles has employed a small girl to rent out as Madeleine McCann.
