"I can't even deal with the straight world sometimes"
In the 80s she was the girl that just wanted to have fun. In the noughties she clearly just wants to dance. Darren Scott speaks to the iconic Cyndi Lauper.
"The gays love a happy ending!"
She’s been entertaining us for years via shows like The Big Breakfast, Any Dream Will Do and “Nancy show” I’d Do Anything. Now she’s back with Hairspray: The School Musical. Darren Scott has a big blether – literally – with Denise Van Outen.
"She either wet herself or she was very sweaty"
Forget the old kids on the block, there’s a new boyband in town, who you might just remember from The X Factor a couple of years back. David O’Leary chats to Avenue.
"People were horrible to me – especially gay people"
She’s back on the stand-up comedy circuit for what might be her last time, and her second book is now out in paperback. Things are finally going well for Rhona Cameron, as Darren Scott is happy to hear. Portraits by Scott Nunn.
Saviours of pop!
Every show is amazing, every single’s a winner – it appears Alphabeat can do no wrong. Except, that is for being far, far too good looking, as Darren Scott discovers. Portrait by Scott Nunn.
“In this country I’m a retro 80s artist who likes gardening”
She stole the show at last year’s Retrofest, so we’re glad that Kim Wilde is making a return trip to the nostalgic Scottish music festival this month. Here you can read the full extended version of the interview printed in our regular edition, exclusively at pinkpaper.com

Basshunter stops playing with his keyboard – and other organs – long enough to have a chat with Darren Scott about being number one.
"We all want to be princesses, right?"
She’s sold over 55 million records, but does becoming a children’s author mean Geri Halliwell has turned her back on music? Darren Scott pops round to her house for a coffee and a blether.
"They're always wanting to ply me with liquor"
You can’t have failed to notice they’ve made a movie of Mamma Mia. Darren Scott thanks Christine Baranski for the music – and 87 episodes of Cybill.
“I wanted to have a kid asking what a spit roast was”
Take the best bits of the female comics you love, throw in a large helping of smut, sex and topless men and you’ve got the new series of the fabulous Touch Me, I’m Karen Taylor. Darren Scott tries his hardest not to actually touch Karen Taylor. Portraits by Scott Nunn.
"I'll have a fight with all of Girls Aloud"
It’s a fact that foreign pop stars rule. Darren Scott chats to Annie, who’s back with new single I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me and an album that’s going to knock your socks off.
