If you're reading this, then it's already too late to get in line for a show court ticket to the opening of this year's Championship at the All England Club, otherwise known as Wimbledon 2008. The good news is you still have eleven further chances to witness start of play on Centre Court, which this year has its roof back in place, as well as many other opportunities to experience a grand day's tennis......

With any luck, we’ll be back to nice summery weather soon, but until then, we feel that the best idea is to hide inside and just pretend it’s summer. Luckily for you, there are quite a few things to keep you entertained. On TV, Londonist likes: Monday 19 May – Saturday 24 May RHS Chelsea Flower Show (BBC1, 20:00-21:00 [Mon-Fri] & 18:00-19:00 [Sat]) Even if you’re a confirmed plant killer, you’ll be inspired to......

Lucky old Holland Park. Him of high waisted trouserage and brutal honesty in the 'will you make it in the pop game stakes', Mr Simon Cowell, has invested in another property in the area. The £40m des res in the making is apparently having an extensive underground extension built, which is what all the wealthies are doing these days, darlings. Whilst reports claim that it's all for swimming pools, spas and car parks we......

We introduced Charlotte Hatherley's new EP a few weeks ago and since then have been dancing round London listening to her 2nd album The Deep Blue. Lead single I Want You To Know is out in late February but until then myspace has a couple of things to keep you going. A Chiswick girl, we spoke to Charlotte about her music and good ol' London. You quit Ash last year, why did you want......

... is pretty fugly. Judging by how it chooses to be presented on the small screen, at any rate. Take Gordon Ramsay's F Word (Wed 9pm C4): We're not denying that it's entertaining. It is hugely entertaining, especially when Gordon picks on twattish City trader boys from Essex and reduces them to tears, much as he reduces all sorts of delicious juices to make a lovely concentrated sauce. Mmm, we're hungry just thinking about......

Sad sad news: Due to his commitment to the upcoming Simon Cowell series "America's Got Talent," "Baywatch" star David Hasselhoff will no longer be playing Captain Hook in a London holiday pantomime of Peter Pan. Say it ain't so. We were seriously considering going along to live blog the damn thing. The show's producers First Family Entertainment are "in negotiations to secure a major star to take on the role”. We're not sure we'd......

Normally when we set out each week to start writing the FFN, we bring up all the broadsheet film pages and at least one movie immediately jumps out at us as being the the most interesting offering of the week. Whether it's controversial, really good, really bad or just starring Scarlett Johansson - there's usually be something to catch our eye. But not this week. This week is full to the brim with complete......

TV Troll is in a bit of a domestic mood this week; it must be the horrible cold weather. So, to celebrate this, here are a couple of programmes guaranteed to make those of a foodie bent quiver with joy. First up is Gordon Ramsay, whose Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares (Tue 9pm C4) started up last week, but apparently really hits its stride this week. As a What Not To Do In The Kitchen, it......

Oh dear. Louis Walsh has quit X Factor after Simon was mean to him. Simon called him "stupid" and "an idiot" and a divvy and said he smelled and said his mum worked in McDonald's and he bought his clothes in Oxfam ... Is it any wonder Louis quit? After spending years and years in the bed of roses, kittens, rainbows and chocolate that is the famously good-tempered and forgiving music industry, the poor......

Yes, TV Troll's joint favourite programme (along with Lost, X Factor, The Sopranos, South Park, Big Brother, The Daily Show, Spoons, Britney And Kevin: Chaotic, Good Morning With Richard Not Judy, Sealab 2021 ...) is back! Strictly Come Dancing will be waltzing back onto our screens (© every journalist writing about the return of SCD, ever) from tomorrow (Sat 6.30pm/9.25pm BBC1). It's a good thing X Factor (Sat 6pm/8.35pm ITV1) is repeated on ITV2......
