America becomes Absolutely Fabulous

The current US TV season already includes American remakes of international series Kath & Kim and Eleventh Hour, and now another much-loved TV show has been targeted for adaptation: Absolutely Fabulous.

According to Variety, US network Fox is attempting to remake the classic Britcom with Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz acting as co-executive producer.

The planned adaptation will relocate the series to Los Angeles but keep the basic plot of the original series, which revolved around narcissistic PR executive Edina Moon (Jennifer Saunders, who also created and wrote the series), her boozy best friend Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley) and long-suffering daughter Saffy (Julia Sawalha).

Saturday Night Live writer Christine Zander will pen the pilot's script, while Saunders is also attached to the project as co-executive producer.

It's not the first time that the US has attempted to do Ab Fab: in the mid-'90s comedienne Roseanne Barr developed a spin-off with Carrie Fisher, which ultimately never went to air. The sitcom Cybill was also loosely inspired by the British comedy.

The series premiered in 1992 but has returned to the airwaves in recent years with new seasons and special episodes.

Absolutely Fabulous airs in Australia on the Comedy Channel.

She's pregnant...AGAIN?!

Reports are swirling that Britney Spears' little sister Jamie Lynn Spears, 16, who gave birth to a daughter in July, is pregnant again.

But this time, pals are begging her to consider other options.

According to unidentified sources, Jamie Lynn didn't know a woman can get pregnant while breast-feeding. (Because mother's milk is a sure-fire contraceptive?)

“Jamie Lynn is eight weeks pregnant right now, and she and her mum [Lynne Spears] are hysterical,” revealed a close source.

“Neither of them knows what to do, but for now they’re trying to keep the news from getting out." Well, so much for their efforts.

Of course, the National Enquirer is the main source of these stories.
However, TMZ is now reporting that Jamie Lynn is not preggers! And they want someone to go get Lynn Spears down off the roof.

Shall we arrange for that shipment of condoms to the Spears family home or wait until this upsetting rumor is proved absolutely true or totally false?

Former Mr Gay Uk fries lover's flesh

A former Mr Gay UK murdered his lover, cooked his flesh and tried to eat it, a court has heard.

Anthony Morley (pictured left), 35, is accused of stabbing Damian Oldfield, 33, in a frenzied knife attack in the bedroom of his Leeds apartment.

Mr Morley, a former chef, denies murdering Mr Oldfield.
The court heard that after the killing Mr Morley cleaned himself up before cutting out a piece of his victim's leg and seasoning it with herbs, frying it in olive oil and chewing it.

DNA tests proved that six pieces of cooked flesh on a chopping board, and another found in a bin bag, were cut from Mr Oldfield.

Saliva on the discarded piece of flesh matched the defendant.
On the night of the murder in April this year, the court heard the pair swapped intimate text messages with Mr Morley saying he had "never been properly happy being gay".

Mr Oldfield, who was openly gay and described as flirtatious, replied "try me ... I'm not your average poof".

Mr Morley said he "wanted to take it slow", but the pair returned to his bedroom that night after drinking heavily.

The victim's naked body was found on the bedroom floor surrounded by blood.
Forensic analysis showed sexual activity had taken place between the men.

The court was told that after chewing Mr Oldfield's flesh, Mr Morley walked to a nearby takeaway restaurant in a dressing gown and thongs and told staff he had killed someone.

He has claimed Mr Oldfield tried to rape him and he had acted in self defence.
When asked how he stopped Mr Oldfield's advances, the jury was told he replied "I'm a chef, how do you think I stopped him?"

Mr Morley allegedly slit his lover's throat before stabbing him repeatedly in the back and chest.
Police believe Mr Oldfield was attacked from behind with two knives from the downstairs kitchen as he lay under the bed's covers.

His throat was slit and a piece of his chest and nipple was cut away before a bank card was placed over the wound.
