Bad Week: Max Mosley, tattoo girl, Peter Andre, Farrah Fawcett

by Greg McDonald

This week was the pits for FIA president Max Mosley, whose resignation proved the price of peace in the battle between Formula One's governing body and the Teams Association for the future of the sport after he called Ferrarri and others "loonies" in this interview and was forced to announce he won’t stand for re-election this year.

Here at GWBW, we've heard some desperate excuses in our time, but none to top that of Belgian “tattoo girl” Kimberley Vlaeminck, who claimed she'd only had 53 stars tattooed on her cheek because she'd fallen asleep under the needle.  But having seen her tattoo artist, we can't help thinking Kim must have known what she was letting herself in for. Indeed, she's since admitted lying to appease her angry father.

It was another painful week for Peter Andre as his estranged wife Katie Price laid bare a couple of striking, ahem, tweets on the social networking site Twitter in which she attacked the 'Mysterious Girl' crooner. Here at GWBW we just feel for the kids – it wasn't so long ago that Katie and Peter were being named Mum and Dad of the Year.

Finally, though inevitably overshadowed by the passing of Michael Jackson, it was a sad week for friends and family of actress Farrah Fawcett, who died in a Los Angeles hospital after losing her battle with cancer. Leading the tributes, Farrah's long-time partner Ryan O'Neal, at her bedside when she died, said: "We take comfort in the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."

Ecclestone and Mozley.......what part of the UK do they come from again?.......no, that can't be right.

I trust Ecclestone and Mozley are proud of themselves having nearly succeeded in badly damaging Formula 1 Thank God the motorcycle Grand Prix people fought off Ecclestone,s bid to get control of their sport. All he cares about is power and money I'm not at all sure what Mozley cares about but it sure isn't the motorsport
