A right royal hangout

I am bored of the snow now. I say bored of the snow, what I actually mean is I am bored of the ice. Snow turns to ice so darn quickly it’s not funny. Just going to the shop to buy milk turns into a military operation. What shoes to wear to prevent slipping and going a**e over... well, you...

Real life ruins celeb-spotting!

It's been one of those weeks where everything that could wrong has gone wrong. I have no exciting showbiz news to report. What a sad state of affairs. The last week should have gone a little bit like this: Pack up teeny tiny office and seemlessly relocate to much bigger office without incident...

The ice queen

I made a vow to myself to stay away from ice rinks for the rest of my natural life. However, some mystical, universal force dictates that ice rinks and Ruth must always be combined with copious amounts of alcohol and it always ends in tears. Two years ago, my DJ outfit - Desdemona Plays Pop -...

The Macmillan enchanted ball

The newly re-furbished Savoy Hotel was the venue for the Macmillan Enchanted Ball on Wednesday night. The great, the good, and the downright rich were there to raise money for the cancer charity. An auction was held including fabulous things like a Stella McCartney coat (a coat that would be...

Face the 'Factor

I have finally allowed myself to watch The X Factor. I am, I believe, the only human being in the UK that has never watched it. I know what's going on at every stage, of course; because I am old I read newspapers - actual real newspapers, the kind that get ink on your hands. I've read about...

I've got love for you

I am really happy at the mo, I've got an 'isn't life good' spring in my step. I have no idea why, work is so busy I don't stop so I have no social life outside of work events and my love life is an absolute shambles. But, still, I can't stop smiling. I think the reason is...

McCutcheon's true colour? Pink

The last few weeks have been, possibly, the most intense; exciting; and exhausting weeks of my life. I've been running here, there and, indeed, everywhere launching not one, not two, but three very exciting projects (which I still can't speak about, and believe me - I want to). In the...

Mel B is back on the scene

There are times when, because of my ridiclous job, I get to actually physically experience, just for a mini-moment, the level of luxury that A'listers consider the norm. This is why fashion events are always worth attending, to 'Ooo' and 'Ahh' and then hot-foot it out of there once the freebies...

How to celeb-spot

Like it or loathe it, the celebrity culture is here to stay. And whether you're an avid follower of all celeb gossip, or you couldn't care less about the lives of the rich and famous, there is no-one who doesn't get a buzz out of meeting with one of their idols. I was at a party recently, chatting...

Katherine Jenkins represents her roots

Golf. I don't love it. So I was dubious when I was invited to hobnob with the VIPs at the Ryder Cup in Wales. I had just left Cardiff after all, why go back? Answer: Denzel Washington and Will Smith. Yup, let me get my coat! I'll let you in on the disappointment now, no I didn't see either of them...
