Hit & Run: Missing the XXL factor

Beth Ditto is known for her idiosyncratic rock yodel, her sexual preferences and, of course, her habit of taking her clothes off on-stage. She isn't one to hide her lights under a bushel, nor is she one to hide her bushel under the stage lights.

Inside Hit & Run

Hit & Run: Call this a heatwave?

Tuesday, 30 June 2009

I ear you have a heatwave. You have my sympathy, you really do. I understand that yesterday, the temperature was due to reach 3C. On Sunday afternoon here in Delhi, the heat index – which tells you how hot it feels when the humidity and heat are combined – was 5C. The minimum temperature, reached at around 5am, was about 3C. Yes, I have real sympathy.

Hit & Run: Keep it in the family

Thursday, 25 June 2009

Hit & Run: What does it feel like to be shot with a Taser?

Wednesday, 24 June 2009

It’d be difficult to get a coherent description of the sensation.

Hit & Run: Don't call them autocuties

Hit & Run: Twins spell trouble in Hugh's harem

Hit & Run: MPs and Lords pull together

Thursday, 11 June 2009

Hit & Run: Sipping in Michelle Obama's footsteps

Wednesday, 10 June 2009

The Audley pub in London's Mount Street is a curious place for a divine manifestation. With its pink terracotta frontage it resembles a poor man's Harrods. An ancient metallic freize boasts of 'Cask conditioned ales', and a pavement-level placard promises 'The best hand-battered Fish and Chips in W1'. Inside, the carpets are faded, the air smells of cottage pie and plastic tropical flowers surmount the bar. And it's just become London's coolest pub.

Hit & Run: Rog's golden groupies

Tuesday, 9 June 2009

Is it easier to be a GOAT (Greatest of All Time) if your cheerleaders aren't just mom, dad or uncle Toni? In the swooning analysis following Roger Federer's historic victory at the French Open on Sunday, this is the question that dangles as tantalisingly as a ball lobbed high over the net.

Hit & Run: Aboard the good ship Twilight

Thursday, 4 June 2009

Until now, Hit & Run was convinced that, generally speaking, cruises were for OAPs, and Twilight was for teenagers. So a Twilight-themed cruise seems somewhat oxymoronic. Yet in August 2010 the good ship Oosterdam will set sail from Seattle for the first ever Twilight "Cruise to Alaska and Convention at Sea". And news that Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz – two stars of the sensationally successful adolescent vampire film – will be aboard should attract an age group unaccustomed to bridge parties and bingo.
