A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

The Independent is first to pick up a delicious story concerning actor musician Billy Bob Thornton's disastrous tour of Canada.

Fans of the actor musician probably thought events couldn't possibly take a turn for the worse after a in which he took exception in no uncertain termsto being described as an Oscar-winner.

But now the tour has been cancelled (officially due to flu) after he described Canadian fans as like "mashed potatoes with no gravy", sparking angry scenes at his subsequent gig. Amid a chorus of boos, large sections of the audience reportedly shouted "Here comes the gravy!"

The Daily Telegraph's are probably not what they were, but it outdoes the Sun with a gem of a picture story.

In images side by side, there are sunbathers stripped to the waist in Plymouth, next to drenched holidaymakers in Suffolk. It has to be a British bank holiday.

The Sun's weather story is much more prosaic, but it does have the most creative headline for the currently dominating Westminster: "MCBRIDE AND PREJUDICE"
