This it did by renting it out at 99p, as its “Film of the Week”. I had two quite intense and simultaneous responses to this news. The first was sombre. It was, if I may be frank, bordering on maudlin. Caitlin Moran Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:00:50 GMT 2009-06-26T08:28:15Z I was at Jackson’s last-ever UK appearance — the press conference to launch his residency at the 02 centre. Indeed, by the time he came on stage, I was ten feet away from him — standing in a scrum of screaming fans and tense, scribbling journalists. Ninety minutes late in appearing, Jackson had already worked the room into an insecure frenzy — 7,000 people who were starting to believe that of course Michael Jackson wasn’t going to appear in this freezing, incongruously unglamourous hallway at the 02 centre with a Starbucks opposite. He doesn’t do SE22. He’s Michael Jackson. Caitlin Moran: commentary Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:00:33 GMT 2009-06-26T02:31:50Z There are two things in my life that I am ashamed of. The first would be too dull to explain, and be dependent on anyone hearing the story being familiar with the layout of the Dorchester nightclub in Wolverhampton, circa 1991. The second, however, I regularly admit to, by way of penance. It is that I left the 1997 Glastonbury on Saturday. A whole 36 hours before it ended. Caitlin Moran Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:00:52 GMT 2009-06-21T06:39:44Z It is one of the unquestioned suppositions of the past 50 years. That mankind’s future does — to a greater or lesser extent — lie in space. This certainty was, however, called into doubt this week, on the back of troubling new research. Dr Lewis Dartnell — an astrobiologist at University College London — claims that, among other side-effects, long space journeys would leave astronauts short, fat and bald. Caitlin Moran Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:00:25 GMT 2009-06-15T03:15:09Z The great fortune of my life — and, some might say, the great misfortune of his — is that I met my husband when I was 17. As a result, the first — and, indeed, only — date I ever went on ended up with me getting married, having two children and merging our two VAT returns into one romantic box-file.
