Boy yoy yoing...it has been ages. Sorry children. Been a wee bit preoccupied. Where to begin?Let's start with some idle....I mean Idol talk.

The telethon - a good cause, natch, but oh so earny earnesto, no? Celebs lipsynching to the Bee Gees? Why, oh why? (foreshadowing, perhaps?) All funny men were funny, but Teri Snatcher? When will America speak and send her back to the c-list? Still, all the power to them, getting spoosrs and regular joes to pay up...and then taking all the credit Idol Gives Back? Erm, no, Idol watchers give back. Idol gave nothing. Only Ellen did. Those Idol folks really are media geniuses.

Loved Blake's Jon Bon perf. L-o-v-e-d it. With his new 'do he looks like Bono. Intense stare, pas de lips... Don't get me wrong, sportsfans, he's no Bono. But I think he's awesome and hope he wins the whole damn thing. Read it closely - don't think he will win, but am living in hope. Last week we said adios to Nasal Beckham Timberlake and, dare I say it, Cancer Boy Phil. (Reference should be obvo, but if it isn't, don't fret. It's not cuz he has cancer, just looks like it.) So now it's The Ladies v. Blake. And guess what next week is? DISCO. With the king of the tight white pantaloons, Mr Guilty himself, Baz Gibb.....Moment for the Brothers no longer with us. And Andy....And back to the show: Woo hoo! Can't wait for it!

On other MOAM news, we're no longer all about the shits at our house. Not as much as before, anyway... #1 son has made it to the toilet. That's the good news. The bad news? We've had, erm, toilet traffic jams. We're talking grid lock. Stand stills. So now we really need to move house. Who wants to share with a 3 year old who can't wipe his own ass? Pas moi.

Gee, what a great lead in....

We are moving house! Yes, the real estate gods have been kind to us. We found our dream-for-now home - and only had two other bidders to contend with. Talk about tense. In the end, an acknowledgement of The Princess Bride won us the house...Oh, Wesley... More space, more rooms, more toilets. More house. Now we have to fluff our own.

Tell me, movers, does everyone fluff? Or just purge? Do you stay in you house or hit the road? Once the crap's out, how do you let it back in? Or do you just start accumulating all over again? Inquiry minds wanna know. And I need to know. I won't be a moving maven until later this summer, so let's discuss.

Since I plan on turning from gossip rags to decor mags I'll share some cheesy-in-a-good-way sites: www.dlisted.com, idontlikeyouinthatway.com, and of course Perez, Lainey and TMZ. Such good wastes of time and will save you big bucks on mags. Unless you double dip paper and web.

Wondering where I'm going with all this? Me too.

Erm....nowhere. Fast.

But the tribe has spoken and I had to give 'em something, so a little ramble should satisfy. For now. When the head's elsewhere, the typing fingers follow. I'll be back - on better form for-sure-cross-my-heart - next week. Or the week after. Stay tuned....
