The Third Degree Daniel Powter: The Canadian Singer-Songwriter Is Particular About His Pants, and Wants to Throw School Bullies Off a Cliff

Who would you be if you could swap places for a day? Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man. I'd use the opportunity to take out everyone who was mean to me at school.

Ageing Punk Pioneer Rat Scabies has Quit Rocking for a Sacred Mission: The Quest for the Holy Grail

Rat Scabies has always been gifted with a certain theatrical panache. As the drummer in the Damned, one of the first British punk bands, his encore invariably saw his kit set ablaze in a haze of flashing blue lights, sirens, feedback and smoke. And since hanging up his sticks a decade ago, he has slipped comfortably into the role once played by such greats as Vivian Stanshall and Graham Chapman: that of the great English eccentric.

Have you ever witnessed a Madonna moment? Allow me to share one with you. It begins with the words "nice boots". That's the first thing Madonna says to me when we meet.

"Better than Bangkok" is the claim, but we're less than convinced. The lady boys in this particular Koh Samui bar look more like caricatures of pantomime dames than the flawless shemales so often portrayed as honeytraps for unsuspecting Western men. Spend some time with Benjamin and it's clear he...

Bolthole Mark Fisher

The Scot is set to star in Shiny Shiny Bright New Hole In My Heart, a BBC2 single drama for next year. She plays the wealthy Maya, whose opulent lifestyle is a big draw for Nathalie (Sally Hawkins from Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky), a personal shopper in Manchester departme...

The List

The Scottish artists Jim Lambie and Simon Starling are in with a shout when the Turner Prize is announced on Monday. Let's recall some of the previous winning form . . . 1 Martin Creed Dazzled the judges in 2001 with his Work No 227: The Lights Going On and Off (pictured above) - which was lights going on and off.
