John Waters, who had previousy berated blogs and blogging on the station and put a challenge out that a blogger be brought in to studio to face him. As Damien informed us yesterday, it happened - Fergal Crehan of the tuppenceworth.ie blog took up the challenge and took Waters down a peg or two live on NewsTalk 106-108 this morning.
● Well known and respected actor Heath Ledger - best known for his roles in ‘A Knights Tale’ and ‘Brokeback Mountain’ looked like having a very bright and promising future. He’ll soon be seen in the new Batman movie, “The Dark Knight”. Sadly, he was found dead today in Manhattan. Here are some reports from RTÉ, BBC and CNN. You can google the rest. It’s also on Boards.ie (here and here) and Karl Hungus has a brief report here.
● Vera Duckworth died a few days ago after 33 years on Coronation Street. She went peacefully in her sleep, of heart failure. She’s only a character in a TV show. She’s got over 600 friends on her new bebo page and nearly 400 members in her facebook group. Not bad, eh? (If you’re in the UK - or have a UK IP address - you can watch her best moments and her final moments here).
