Liberty XXX

‘IF Prince Charles had really wanted to kill Diana, surely he’d have just bought her a new hat with antlers on it and then issued Harry and Wills with the command, ‘Shoot!’

Mag hag

Chas could even have hired the services of Jerome Barra, a 25-year-old American who, the Mail reports, recently used his prowess with a gun to shoot a hole in the leg of Kinks frontman Ray Davies.

The Mirror has a mugshot of the bag snatcher, who grabbed the handbag of Davies’ girlfriend and ran off. The singer gave chase and the result was so much sirens, blood and headlines.

Oh, come on! Don’t be so cynical. Yesterday we did talk of the showbiz trend for headline-making vehicle accidents, but getting shot is never a wise career move (although Yoko Ono has done remarkably well from it).

No, the way to the top is through talent. Just ask Posh Spice, who is in the Mirror talking through her agent about her plans to run and edit a magazine.

‘VB’, as the magazine calls La Posh (Very Banal? Vain Brain? Voiceless Bint?), plans to launch the magazine Liberty on an unsuspecting public sometime soon. And why Liberty?

‘Because the word represents freedom and is also the name of her niece,’ a source explains. ‘Victoria thinks it’s the perfect option.’

Surely not. The perfect option would be to call it Beckham’s Wife and feature Victoria in various stages of undress.

Although all the other pop magazines might sue for nicking their idea…’
