Shorter cuts: news doesn't get any smaller

A new low in media speculation, a case of bad recall at the Leveson inquiry and a threat from Tony Blair

A new low

Grazia says Jennifer Aniston's "baby dream" may be over. Why? Because she told American GQ that "kids are messy" – which Grazia says is "quite the turnaround" and "a deliberate statement on where she's at in her life right now". Seriously?

Yacht spotting

Anyone else planning a trip around London's Docklands to spot the superyachts of Roman Abramovich and co? Go on; it's only going to feel like the Riviera for 17 days!

Quote of the day

"I'd like to find a form of intervening in debates," says Tony Blair. He seems to have mastered this one over the past couple of weeks.

Muppet school

Sesame Street is launching pre-school and after-school clubs in India, the first franchise of its kind from Sesame Workshop. That's the kind of school we'd like to go to.

Remember this?

Liking the BBC's research on the most commonly used phrases at the Leveson inquiry. "I don't remember"/"I don't recall" were used 49 times by David Cameron, 41 by James Murdoch, 35 by Rebekah Brooks, 30 by Rupert Murdoch.
