Chris Evans and Billie have wed. What is it with DJs and singers? And I thought this was the strangest showbiz news in the UK this weekend. Doh!

Of all the people you mentioned, I've only heard of Homer Simpson. I'm not sure what that says about me.

"You may snort charlie from the bride's breasts."

[cue wedding march...]

jbelshaw: excuse me? This from the nation that rewarded Steely fucking Dan for its contribution to modern music? (Not that the Brits actually matter. And the BBC don't show the NME Awards.)

As for Homer Simpson: simple, it meant that no-one got really upset, because a cartoon character won.

Isn't Billie that "Honey to the Bee" girl?

For any US viewers - Billie thinks she is the UK equivalent of Brittany Spears. Chris Evans used to think he was David Letterman. That's how unusual this partnership is. Richard and Judy might be Regis and Cathy-Lee...

She's also the young lady who was booked in at great expense to play an Oxford ball last summer, arrived three hours late and coked up to the eyeballs, then refused to play because the crowd (dinner-suited students, not quite what one might call a "moshpit") were "too close to the stage".

I blame the parents.

And now that she's the second Mrs Ginger, I believe in karma.

This whole thing just frightens me. Thought Evans had more sense, apparently not.

Ordinarily I'd just point out that at 35, Evans is almost twice her age (she's 18) and be grossed out by that, but a) she was apparently the one who proposed, and b) Billie is vile, so it's the thought of the two of them spawning that really gets to me.

p.s. if you like this sort of thing, you really should be subscribed to popbitch.

Chris Evans with sense? You must be joking.
Chris Evans is a plonker.

I'll see everyone back on this thread when they get their divorce. I'll give them 6 months!
