Evita Thirty years after it first opened to the day in the West End, there is another version of the musical Evita, written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Amazing its been thirty years since they wrote, what for many remains their best score. When the musical first opened they picked the relatively unknown singer Elaine Paige, she now is a huge star. At the opening night she was there in the stalls to watch one Elena Roger, who is actually from Argentina, to play the lead role. Apparently the musical is superb, according to the reviews. So if youre in London and fancy a trip to the theatre, Evita is on again in the West End. RSI Noel Edmonds apparently has got repetitive strain injury of the wrist as a result of picking up the phone too often in the course of his show. He picks up the phone to answer it on Deal or No Deal, no hes suffering from RSI. He says, The phone is pretty heavy and I have to pick it up a dozen times a show, we shoot three shows a day and its got so painful that I could hardly the thing up. Hes been diagnosed with RSI after a check up with Bristol based consultant. Noel Edmonds who always manages to lurk from one PR story to another. Smile Today is the day we should be smiling, its officially the happiest day of the year, researchers claim. A combination of outdoor activity and nice weather, planned holidays make June the 23rd the most cheerful date on the calendar. The formula has been created my psychologists at Cardiff University who said happy childhood memories plus social interaction also help raise a smile. Today is the happiest day and its all down hill from here. Morning Sickness Men are laying claim to a condition thought to belong to the opposite sex, thats morning sickness. A department of health guide to pregnancy advises fathers to be that they could suffer from the nausea while their partner is pregnant. The stress of impending parenthood could cause sleeplessness and indigestion and even course a mans stomach to swell. Some have even experienced labour pains when their baby is on the way, the 2006 pregnancy book says, believe it or not men can get symptoms of pregnancy as well. There we are, men are coming out in sympathy with the women. Bargains Theres nothing we enjoy more than getting a real good bargain when were out shopping and it seems that women get the biggest bargains of the lot. They often cant resist a bargain even if it ends up costing them more. Nearly two thirds of women admitted that they splash out on special offers for goods that they dont really need. Weve all done that, I dont think its just a women thing Ive done it you see the sign and you go and buy something that you didnt necessarily want. Theres a survey of nearly 3000 shoppers that show women often end up spending far more than they originally intended. And what gives us the greatest buzz, or women the greatest buzz, well cheap high street versions of designer items. Apparently this gives them most satisfaction. The survey discusses women who spend over £100 a week in the sales, can you believe that?

I see from the paper today that spinach, which Popeye used to eat to bulk up, may also hold the key to keeping you slim. Scientists have found that a compound in the leaves that the cartoon hero used to build his muscles could fool our bodies into thinking that were full. It slows down the digestion of fat, tricking our half empty stomachs that theyve eaten enough. So there we are, spinach could stop dieters from experiencing hunger pangs and might help combat obesity. Spinach is one of those foods that not everybody particularly enjoys, also you buy a big bag and then it shrinks down into nothing! Well thats it from me today, have a very good day. Join me tonight for the programme. Have a good weekend, speak to you again on Monday.
