What's hot

DENTAL GLOSS: Forget getting the perfect bust, slim behind or shapely legs - the in-thing to spend your money on is your smile. Various treatments are available to make your pearlers as white as possible and the great and the good are spending a fortune to make their smiles as sexy as possible. Kelly Brooke wore an invisible brace while presenting the Big Breakfast while Martine McCutcheon had porcelain painted on her teeth to give her the greatest grin. From crowns, white fillings and whitening to new-style false teeth - there's no excuse not to have a dazzling grin. Professional tooth-whitening services start from around £150.

BUSH BABY: Lauren Bush is set to become another famous member of her very important family. The 17-year-old niece of the president is in huge demand in the modelling world. Her father is George W's youngest brother and as such she has had a very privileged upbringing. She is now making her name in her own right with appearances in Vogue and Tatler; she's been described as an all-American icon and has been put on the front cover of the famous Pirelli 2002 calendar. There's no doubt that Lauren's background got her a leg up on the modelling ladder but her breathtaking looks are set to keep her at the top of the tree.

SOFA, SO GOOD: Richard and Judy have risen from the ashes of ITV and catapulted themselves onto Channel 4 as teatime chat-show hosts. An earlier evening chat show had been a failure but this time the most famous married couple in the country have stuck to a well-tested formula. Their new show is a carbon copy of the daytime show minus the celebrity hairdressers and hunky chefs. There are phone-ins, pathetically easy competitions and an array of guests. It's cotton wool for the brain but an ideal thing to switch on after a hard day at work. Richard and Judy proved they can do what they are good at - making a tired-old magazine format addictive to watch. The only trouble is that they're up against the Weakest Link in the schedules, and at the moment the golden couple are... the weakest link.

What's not

TOO MUCH: Oh dear! Have Cilla and Barbara Windsor never heard the phrase 'mutton dressed as lamb'? The grande dames of televisions decided to dress up in corsets, stockings and suspenders to dance on stage in front of the Queen, They were singing 'You've Got to Have A Gimmick' as part of the Royal Variety Show. Complete with strategically-placed glowing hearts and feathers, the women pranced about looking like tragic has-beens. It's sad when two talented people degrade themselves on stage in a bid to prove they are still young at heart. A very sad show from two women who should know better.

BIG MOUTH: Cilla and Babs weren't the only ones who showed themselves up at the Royal Show. Jennifer Lopez allegedly threw a fit when she arrived at the show and realised she didn't have as much security as some other people at the event. She wasn't jealous of the famous actors, singers and dancers who were taking to the stage but of Her Majesty herself. J-Lo is supposed to have complained that her security did not match that of the Queen who, poor dear, was made to sit through yet another variety show of dubious style. J-Lo may have been called the Queen of Latino music but that doesn't put her on a par with Liz. Jennifer would be a lot less of a target for nutters if she started with covering herself up and shutting her mouth.

BAD SHOW: Robert Kilroy Silk has failed in his bid to leave daytime telly behind to become a game show host. 'Shafted' has been taken off the air because it was affecting the viewing figures for Cold Feet, which followed it. The idea behind the show was quite good - a team of players had to work together to earn money and then a final two had to decide whether to share the dosh or just nick it all for themselves. The problem was the host - a smarmy ex-politician who finds it impossible to open his mouth without patronising someone. Another show in the nasty TV genre, and a another big turn-off.
