  • In today's Times, Dame Edna and Richard & Judy give Lily Allen words of advice on hosting a TV chat show. Dame Edna says, "It's very important to be interesting yourself. Most guests, let's face it, however famous they are, are boring, with no intellectual resources and very little sense of humor, particularly if they are comedians. People only watch my shows for me, and those shows have remained evergreen long after the guests are forgotten."

  • Lily admits having a crush on Stephen Gateley, a member of the boy band Boyzone who came out as gay. "He wasn't gay at the time," she says.
