The irresistibly uplifting, award winning family comedy returns to strut its stuff from New York to London, the suburbs and beyond.

Simon and his best friend Kylie still aspire to dazzle the world but first of all they have to wade through adolescence, brave their extraordinary and bonkers relatives and cope with small town Britain in the 90s. 

Beautiful People is not your average family sitcom because the Doonans are not your average family. The show is the story of a dream – the dream that one day Simon would leave suburban Reading and move to London to be with the beautiful people. In fact he moved to New York to become the creative director of Barneys, an uber-chic fashion store, and to write the memoir which inspired Jonathan Harvey to write this hugely exuberant comedy.

US rapper, Eminem, will return to the UK for the first time in over five years after promising to tone down his homophobic lyrics. He has unlikely support in the form of Elton John. Elton has stood up for Eminem and said, "I honestly don't think people will go out and start beating and killing people because of this album. It appeals to my English black sense of humour."

Eminem's song Criminal includes the homophobic lyrics that could incite violence:

“My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge,
That'll stab you in the head, whether you're a fag or lez,
Or the homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest,
Pants or dress? Hate fags? The answer's yes”.

Organisers of the 'Wireless Festival' in London have persuaded the rapper to drop his gratuitously anti-gay songs to avoid any demonstrations. Following Eminem's pledge, they have agreed a deal with gay rights groups not to picket the event next summer.

Whilst the media whirlwind surrounding Tiger Woods’ series of encounters outside of his marriage conintues, a recent survey highlights how gay men feel about cheaters.

In general, 41% of those surveyed believed that people make mistakes and were willing to forgive and forget. In contrast, 40% live by the age old mantra ‘Once a cheat, always a cheat’. Though the results indicate a relatively even divide between the two camps, there was marked difference in opinion between the ages.

Those aged 18-24 appear to be more liberal in their attitudes towards cheating with only 34% of them refusing to believe a leopard could change his spots. This stance gradually gains support through the age groups until it peaks at 54% of those aged 61 and above. The trend appears in reverse for those who accept that people make mistakes, with 46% of those aged 18-24 believing mistakes happen, compared to only 24% of those aged 61 and above.
