OK, so I fell for it. I tried to resist for a while but ended up looking for details on Twitter and other blogs into who's bedroom shenanigans are causing all this fuss on every single media channel.
And I found what seems to be the answer (if consensus is anything to go by).
Now will somebody please tell me who the hell these people are? Ok I know of a couple of them but half of them I had to look up, even AFTER I knew their name and then seen a photo. I have to wonder about the size of some of the egos at work here.
The ultimate irony is that had these people not tried to keep their antics secret, I wouldn't have known, nor cared. Probably would have ignored the piece in the paper had it ever appeared. But know it's social media heaven, it's on BBC 5 live, it's all over the on and offline media it gives even most lazy bloggers like me something to sneer about.
But what really strikes me about "gagging orders", is that they don't seem to let us both ways. For instance, why don't they let us gag the celebrities?
I'm sick of hearing and seeing Katie Price, a once fairly pretty girl who got her boobs out, decided that letting us know every intimate detail of her life was just what we wanted and now just won't go away. Why not put an injunction on her?
Kerry Katona. Another one who gets right on my tits. Injunction! Cease and Desist Order!
Pete Doherty. Aaaargh!
In fact the sheer number of people I could apply this to has just made me extremely angry. I'm going for a lie down, it's simply too good an idea.
