Linda Lovelace (dec'd) to dine with Felix Dennis?

I had to laugh at some mischief by Rob McGibbon during his video interview with Felix Dennis (see below). He asks the mega-millionaire magazine publisher whom he'd like to invite to his fantasy dinner table. Once we're past Freud we get to a woman who once worked with Charles Babbage (creator of the programmable computer back in the 19th Century). "What's her name?" struggles Felix, "Ada ... Lovelace ... is that it?" Actually, it's Augusta Ada Lovelace he's thinking of, the mathematician daughter of Byron, who in effect first conceived the idea of computer software. Alas, Rob mishears him thinking he said Linda Lovelace ("No!" barks Dennis) before flashing up on the screen a Deep Throat movie poster featuring the notorious actress cocksucker. Tsk.

Felix Dennis: 'I spent $100m on whores and drugs'

Sensational video interview by Rob McGibbon with the God of Debauch (and magazine publisher) Felix Dennis on Access Interviews. When Dennis is not confessing to unloading $100m on whores and drugs over 12 years he's slagging off the movie Hippie Hippie Shake (out this year), starring Sienna Miller, supposedly about the hedonistic times of those (including Dennis) involved in the Oz magazine trial. I love his comment about Working Title that's made the movie - it trades on being a credible indie studio but is ultimately owned by General Electric - and accuses co-founder of the studio Tim Bevan of "selling out". What should Germaine Greer not have been doing in 1971 ("I have the photograph - ha ha ha")? View here.
