Sixteen candles lite for church
By Chris Jones

Let's kick off the weeks review with entertainment, as Charlotte Church celebrates her sixteenth birthday in style at London's Continental Club. Apparently, Pie Jesu wore a bit thin on the Karaoke by the end of the night.

Givenchy Head designer, Julian Macdonald, was also in the limelight with an eye-catching show at London Fashion Week. Unlike Max Boyce, he possesses an abundance of new material, but looking at some of the models outfits, there's plenty to spare!

At the Brit Awards, the Welsh contingent walked away empty handed. However, pocket pop diva, Kylie, scooped two awards - her family in Maesteg must be so proud.

A risqué version of 80's classic Rainbow is featuring at Cardiff's Zeus club on 28th February. Zippy and co. could well be bungled into a vice squad van if things go too far.

Wales - Land of the Tiger

Not entertainment, but certainly entertaining, is the Carmarthen man hoping to keep a tiger in his garden. The local postman awaits the council's decisions with baited breath.

Cardiff's latest cinema, the UGC, is still in shock after a section of the roof was blown off. A company spokesman denied claims that Gone with the Wind was showing at the time.

Things are definitely hotting up between the sheets if a Nomorefrogs.com survey is to be believed. Apparently, the Welsh are outperforming their English neighbours in the bedroom. It's good to see us on top, at last.

Wales market America

In Politics, our First Minister is off to the Big Apple on St. David's Day. He'll launch an extensive advertising campaign, hoping to gain a chunk of the American tourist Market for Wales. So, tell them Rhodri, we're the friendly land to the West of England - and no, not the one with the Guinness.

On a more serious note, Anglesey is officially the unemployment black spot of Wales.
So, Assembly dreamers in Cardiff, wake up! Give some cash to the rest of Wales! There are enough people drawing the dole without the need for multi-million pound arts centres

Finally, a theme park, in the style of Universal studios, looks set for Wales. The proposed site at Llanharan, near Bridgend, could well become the Hollywood of Europe. A mountain location for nine large white letters has been earmarked. Los Angeles security is on red alert.
