Do the Epstein Files also feature those who are hardly A Lister celebrities or well known politicians who are, after all, about showbiz and reality shows like “The Apprentice”, anyway?
We have it on rather good authority- because we have seen the names- and included trying their best to mix it up with the usual suspects are a few who crave the fame game from not-so-faraway places like the Land of Oz, the Kong of Hong, Macau, islands off Portugal, Taiwan and China and with names including certain executives and players in the hospitality sector, the horse racing industry, cricket, tennis, and that world of the great unemployed known as LinkedIn.
Speaking of which, overheard this week: “How do you know someone is about to be let go or has already quietly been let go? There’s a furious amount of articles by these people about just how much fun and brilliant everything is and how they respect the big boss who has surreptitiously worked out their exits, which he has always vehemently denied, but when his emails and letters are forwarded on to quite a few- including us- well, this says much, doesn’t it? It’s been saying “it” for years.

Which are those marriages in the land of the Kong that have been created through multi billion dollar deals to avoid some being yanked out of closets and with prices going up for male offspring to carry on the family name?
Most in demand are those from beauty contests and with mothers who might have once also been in beauty pageants being “momagers” who play extremely tough hardball for some huge package deals that include at least two luxurious apartments.

”Gamechanger” is a very much overused word that often doesn’t even warrant a shrug of the shoulders, but Irish actor-singer Jessie Buckley has not only changed the game and cracked open any glass ceiling, she has made Hollywood look dowdy and fake and old and contrived and corny and bereft of honesty, not only because of her stunning performance in “Hamnet”, but also because of so many now going back and seeing her entire body of work and what makes her a very special person.
Having followed the now 36 year old glowing ball of wonderful talent and kindness and openness since spotting her in 2008 as a 17 year old contestant in the fairly little known BBC reality singing competition “I’d Do Anything”, she has only just started to do wonderful things.
She was runner up to winner Jodie Prenger for the role of Nancy in “Oliver!”, and we often wonder whatever happened to those judges who meted out their weekly advice to the then aspiring young actress.
Chief judge Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Ian MacIntosh were always consistent and supportive Buckleyites, but where in the world today are those other judges?

Though somewhat confused and rather bored with the tedious content of supposedly astute Australian businessman Craig Hutchison’s blazing saddles of tipsters on his ménage-a-trois of online racing and sports radio stations in the land of Oz headlined by The Gareth Hall Marathon Run, THANK GAWD for continuity person John Henry, below, and his professionalism and giving those of us who need it with some much needed breathing pace.
In a TikTok world of tiny bits of goofy content, Hutchison’s content strategy seems to be to keep things extremely long and meandering with moments where a listener could think they’re going to see the Wizard of Oz with Pink Floyd playing the entire “Dark Side Of The Moon” in the background.
Calm under pressure, and with a Valium coated mellifluous voice, here’s someone who really gives horse racing a certain degree of, well, class, is able to handle those absolutely oafish anti gambling messages and with zero signs of being a cheerleader for those self desperados frothing to win at all costs on what’s known as “the punt”.

Life with the Beckhams is becoming scarily like Keeping Up With The Kardashians but minus different men of the coloured persuasion popping up.
