Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today as we wander through the little cul-de-sacs which contains celebrities and little tiny houses, and we leave them living in their little houses for ages.

0:16.9

And then occasionally we open the door and out they come and you go, God, it's not you again, is it?

0:21.5

Because we are full of Z-List celebrities at the moment. There's hardly any A-List celebrities.

0:26.8

But then, to be brutally honest with you, I'm not even sure what an A-List celebrity is anymore. I mean, who would be considered A-list?

0:34.4

And the answer is, I don't know, one of the Spice Girls, would they be an A-list celebrity?

0:39.1

Because they don't go out that often, because they're, they've now got a bit older, they're married,

0:42.5

they've got kids, they've got their own lives. It's only the desperate people who sort of

0:47.4

drag their carcasses around, and they have to be seen at this party or that charity event. And you think to yourself, it's all a bit vacuous, isn't it? Because when they're going to a charity do, of course,

0:57.6

they're not earning any money. There's generally speaking, generally speaking, no money involved

1:01.9

unless it's a paid charitable event. So the charitable event of the week, I think, will be

1:07.3

Saturday when Jerry Halliwell gets married.

1:14.2

And to be brutally honest with you, I can't imagine who's going to go.

1:20.2

They haven't sold it to a magazine, so you're never going to see the celebrity quotient written on there.

1:23.1

You're never going to see, you know, and here's Victoria Beckham, so she's not going.

1:26.5

Or any of her past flames, they won't be going either.

1:28.3

So who will be going? They've said there's 300 guests. I'm assuming it'll be mainly people from his side, but his parents aren't going.

1:34.4

They're totally against this marriage. Totally against it. But there again, Jerry Halliwell has got

1:38.8

lots of failed relationships, about 15, and she is mad as a broomstick. Mad as a broomstick. So how long are we giving this marriage? I don't think we're giving it too long. Anyway, out on the town, just heading out for a meal. And she loves to dress up, apparently. She didn't have a coat on, which is sort of lovely. She's got her little phone with her in a little sort of bag.

2:01.6

And she obviously done herself up. She is the person that nobody has got the faintest idea

2:04.6

who she is. Her name's Chloe Goodman. The former celebrity Big Brother Star, 21. I'm sorry, dear.

2:12.0

I don't want to be rude, but if I saw you out, I'd have no idea who you were. Nobody knows who you are.
