So I guess when he's not making cheese at his (very big) house in the country and writing the most entertaining Britpop memoir of excess and champagne, Alex James moonlights with a bit of modeling.

My favourite Louis Garrel collaborator Christophe Honore's latest, Beloved, is screening at the French Film festival. This time round Garrel's outrageous beauty costars with Catherine Deneuve and her real-life daughter Chiara Mastroianni, Ludivine Saginer and legendary director Milos Forman. Plus Paul Schneider! (holy shit Mark Brendanawicz, that's a long way from Pawnee)It's set in the '60s and '90s. It has songs. What else do you want?

BRANSON!

Fallen into a Downton Abbey K-hole. It's happened to everyone.
