A little rudeness

I am still fascinated by the mysteries that are in Daddypoos's fridge. What we need to do is join forces and sort out Mondo Ray. In my opinion, we don't devote enough research to finding a cure for jerks. Violence, however, is pretty good to start on.

Spotting Natalie Appleton while I was on the daily commute home the other night made me revisit my All Saints albums, particularly Saints And Sinners and the vastly underrated Studio 1. The luscious, dreamlike Black Coffee and Pure Shores, coupled with production by William Orbit and Greg Kurstin reminded me just how much I want a new album. New Rave Snail

Earls: It's unlikely. At least Shaznay Lewis is writing for The Saturdays.

After eight years of disappointing solo efforts and other low-key endeavours, I was expecting Skunk Anansie's comeback single to be something of a non-event. Because of You is a glorious, soaring, sing your heart out anthem, the likes of which I've not heard in some time, and that fills me with utter joy. Welcome back. Liquid Diner

People are quick to denigrate Madonna for being over the hill, and an embarrassment who doesn't act her age.

So me and Daddypoos can't use violence to sort out Mondo Ray. It does rather reduce the options. I mean, it's not as if we were going to give him a lobotomy with a rusty saw. I would have oiled it first. Now, let's talk about ice cream- Vanilla or chocolate?

The Blade Runner backlash

Sam, Dewsbury- Blade Runner improves with multiple viewings. It has a haunting quality, and the most plausible vision of a future run by big corporations ever seen. It's a masterpiece of the type Judge Dredd could only dream of being. Kit, Acton

Stop pigeon-holing metal as racist

Why is that the only movies to feature hardcore metal on their soundtracks are ones about neo-Nazis? Smokin' Aces, American History X and Higher Learning all fall into this trap.

Who's the greatest black actor?

David, Barnsley- Eddie Murphy "greatest black actor ever"- what about Denzel Washington? One of the greatest actors of his generation. As for comedy actors- Richard Pryor. Jamie, Merstham

Is anyone else looking forward to Avatar, James Cameron's new project? Though I hated Titanic, I love his other body of work. Can't wait. Eamonn, Liverpool
