While I'm too young to have experienced Tom Jones in his red hot heart-throb heyday, I can see his pin up appeal. It's impossible not to when your mum points it out at every opportunity!

And Mum and I are loving his new 'silver fox' look. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with men dying their hair. If it makes them feel good about themselves then why not? We ladies do it after all. But there's something about a guy who's not afraid to go natural. And it certainly worked for George Clooney.

I can't sign off today without mentioning the Oscars. Surprises? Many, many risks? This is shaping up to be the most intriguing ceremony ever. I can't wait to see the new 'story telling' format. I know the saying goes: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", but there's lots to be gained from shaking things up occasionally, too.
