Apparently Liz Hurley may be pregnant.
The reason I know about this riveting story is that it broke when she attended a charity benefit. The charity happens to fund the work of one of the PIs in my department, and its name is therefore on my Google news alerts list.
If I get one more email about Liz Hurley this week I’m either going to throw my computer out of the window or be fired for misuse of network bandwidth.
It’s not quite as bad as when I worked on the Jun family of proteins and would receive random alerts about papers published in the month of June.
Just hope she does not call the next one a name like Damien. (If it is a girl, maybe Buffy, for contrast?)
If true Cath (as it most probably is), this is a scoop for NN as there’s no mention of this anywhere else on the web !!
To this day, I never signed up to Google Alerts and by the sounds of it (and not just from you), glad I didn’t.
Maxine: My friend told me last night that some celeb (can’t remember who) has decided to call her new son Story. Yech.
Graham: look at me, bringing in a whole new audience to NN! The alerts can be useful, but often aren’t. Sometimes they bring me news of “new” funding opportunities that are actually from 2006. Let’s hope they fix some of those bugs soon!
