I’ve only just noticed that people are looking for Jonathan Ross’s Twitter stream via my blog, so thought I’d make it easier. He’s here.

Phew! I can finally say something about this. Brian was up for Dawkins’ job, down to the final three (or was it four?!), but didn’t get it. And the winner is…

A couple people in the comments have said they think Brian should take over from Richard Dawkins when he retires this year. If you’re on Facebook, you can join the Brian Cox For Dawkins’ Job group. Not started be me incidentally.

Observer Article

Honestly, this isn’t a blog just about Brian. That would be really weird… but… indulge me just a bit longer.

Some of you may have seen the article about Brian in the Observer today. Now, you guys are intelligent and realise that not everything you read in a newspaper is accurate. This was made absolutely clear to me this morning as I was sitting in my bathrobe, hair all over the place, barefoot, all coffee breath, unshowered and read, “he married his American wife, glamorous TV presenter Gia Milinovich, in secret.” :-/

Ah well…

Professor Brian Cox Gay? Answered

giagia — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 23:57:42 +0000

**UPDATE** 02.12.08 More on Professor Brian Cox here.

Questions I assume people want answered based on various searches.

1. No, Brian is not gay. I’m his wife, not his beard. Amazing, eh?
2. No, Brian has not had botox. :rollseyes: He’s 40 years old and just has good skin.
3. Yes, Brian was in D:Ream, but I wish the media would stop mentioning it. It’s really boring now.
4. No, Brian’s not evil. He’s really lovely actually. Literally, will not even kill a fly. I, however, take delight in destroying wasps and have been known to murder mice who came into my home.
5. No, Brian does not have a belief in God or Gods.

Excellent interview with Brian by Andrew Denton on ‘Enough Rope’. I’m not able to see video yet, but there’s an mp3 of the whole interview and a transcript. w00t! for Star Wars toys!
