Paper Monitor

12:01 UK time, Friday, 12 March 2010

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

Short but sweet today. Paper Monitor has things to do, places to be, Caption Competitions to oversee!

And so, to business.

cruftsdogandowner_ap.jpgThe Sun has a picture that paints a thousand words. Which is why it is run with only 55 words around it, including headline, and one is "ruff" and another "mutt-see".

It provides a neat twist on the perennial favourite of seeking out dogs who look like their owners, or vice versa. It does not appear to be on the Sun's website. , thanks to the Daily Mail.

And finally - yes, already - Paper Monitor has never hid its unwavering enthusiasm for the rival showbiz/Apocalypse-spotting columns in the Guardian and the Times.

(Past glories include Lost in Showbiz on despite questionable human rights record, and Celebrity Watch devising a new verb - - for the way Jeremy Paxman speaks to his interviewees.)

Well. Today's gems include Celebrity Watch .

"Clearly, this isn't correct - the most famous person in Britain is the meerkat in the smoking jacket from the Comparethemarket.com advert. Have you tried getting near a meerkat enclosure at a zoo these days? It's like trying to get into the Cavern during Beatlemania."

So true it hurts.

And over at Lost in Showbiz, there's good news for Haiti - to help the quake victims. Who he, you may ask?

"This faction of Lost in Showbiz loves a bit of Heyes in the morning. Honestly, the things he can find in River Island. A bit of Karen Millen here, a touch of Dune there - why, it's like being at a Balenciaga show, with the priceless presence of Lorraine Kelly instead of that Anna Wintour wotsit."

Paper Monitor has clearly been missing out.
