And finally, (random list of Scottish bands excluded - and where are Garbage, by the way?), news that Geri Halliwell is being paid half a million pounds by 72 year old billionaire
Dickie Lugner to be his date at Austria's world-famous Opera
Ball in Vienna. Dickie has a long history of buying dates with famous women - past purchases have included Duchess of
York, Pamela Anderson, Sophia Loren and Grace Jones. On his choice of Geri he told reporters: "I chose Geri because of her wonderful smile. I'm delighted to have such a star guest as Ginger Spice, who has made such a successful career for herself."
