Oh, I've just been reminded of the derivation of "Naff". It's Polari for a straight man - "Not Available For Fucking".

And Piglet's Big Movie reminded you of this, Jim?

Well, I should hope that Piglet is naff, all things considered. Unless Jim is considering writing Piglet/Pooh....

Uh, no - there was an (incorrect) guide to Polari in an email I got this morning.

Uh, not to be non-sequitur girl, but they had a whole segment about this* on Triple J this morning and since I was listening while being stubbornly asleep (damn clock radio) I thought it was all a horrible, horrible hallucination. But it's apparently not, at least in the sense that someone bothered to actually print it, or post it, or whatever. My brain keeps running in little loop between "It's utterly absurd given what everyone involved has previously said" and "But where do you get an idea like that, if there's no basis whatsoever?" and then back again. Stupid paradox of the tabloids.
Edit - Thanks, Angus.

Leigh--you have to put the URL on a line by itself to get the auto-link thing working.
And this is clearly a crock, although in fact Holly Valance would have made a great Buffy!

the Star is a comic, even by Redtop standards. Safely ignored.

"It's utterly absurd given what everyone involved has previously said" and "But where do you get an idea like that, if there's no basis whatsoever?"
That was me when I heard.
Personally, I'd say it's part beat up (Apparently she's launching in the States in a couple of months, and I'd put dollars to doughnuts that this is her PR people just trying to put a few clicks on the internet site as the Americans say "who's that?" and go searching) and part miscontrustion of the other "rumour" I read today which was about casting for the movie (apparently scheduled for release in Summer 2004. um.. yeah?!?)
Me? I'm with Wil Anderson on the "This is wrong wrong wrong" side of the fence. (Which is okay really, 'cause the fence she do block my view of HV.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
What Jim said.
Although the only time I've seen Holly Valance on anything, she seemed like a nice lass. Good luck to her, and all that. But The Star is rubbish. Hell, the article ended with:
Gellar has turned down a seventh year in the show, which is watched by millions of people around the world
so it's not exactly the most trustworthy of sources, surely?

Well, of course it would be wrong wrong wrong to "replace" SMG with anyone at this point. But Holly is gorgeous, she can act (shut up! she can so!!) and I can see her pulling off the action stuff, so in some parallel universe I think she'd be great!
t edit Plus I make a point of disagreeing with anything Wil Anderson or any other JJJ announcer thinks.
