"the ceo of acupuncture had to have his porridge before he could face being interviewed. took him 15 mins to cook it, eat it and do the dishes, while camerman, soundguy, producer and presenter were waiting. talk about getting your priorities right. "

"Gwen Stefani refused to be filmed dancing with Gavin Rosdale because her dancing was not up to scratch. Boy George used a different strategy by moving a mate in front of the lense, but we still got him."
