Gordon in the morning: A man of his word - again

Now, what was it Gordon Smart pledged on 6Music last weekend? That Amy Winehouse would "get some space now", wasn't it?

Oddly, this "space" seems to include a snatched shot of her in hospital.

Gordo's justification for running the pictures of Amy doing crack was that she was some sort of role model, and photos of her scoffing drugs would, somehow, stop kids getting hooked. So what's the justification for running photos of a sick woman who wasn't even in a public place, as writer Tom Wells cheerfully admits:

She appeared thin and pale as she struggled to walk between buildings at the Capio Nightingale clinic

Perhaps Gordon and the Sun are trying to stop kids from thinking going to hospital is cool, too?

On that 6Music appearance, Smart condemned the parasites making money out of Amy's problems. Clearly, there aren't that many mirrors in Wapping.

Meanwhile, we know that the words Gordon has hammered together about Atomic Kitten at GAY is merely camouflage to pad out pictures of women in corsets, but even so:

It’s been a while since the girls were last on stage but, as these sexy snaps show, NATASHA HAMILTON, JENNY FROST and LIZ McCLARNON had it all undie control.

... and we know it's all just a set up for the "undie control" gag, but "it's been a while since the girls were last on stage", Gordon? Twelve days, actually.

Gordon claims that Sarah Harding is trying to put together a solo career, but he's hedging his bets, asking his "insider" to say:

“The response hasn’t been quite what she expected. She thought people would jump at the chance to take her on – but it hasn’t quite worked out like that.”

So, it might not work. But then again, says Gordon, it might:

Sarah certainly is a handful and the one I would tip for success. She has the right personality and that all-important sex appeal.

(Unlike, of course, the rest of Girls Aloud who presumably have neither personality or sex appeal, then?)

But Gordon isn't sure. It might not work:

I would imagine a few music bosses could be put off by her late-night antics

Or would it?

but if I was a record boss I’d take the gamble.

So, Gordon, is it going to happen or not?

If Sarah doesn’t have a solo single out in the next 18 months, Ashley Cole is a good bloke.

In the next 18 months? In pop music, that's like predicting "a cure for cancer will be found in the next fifty years" - it's a finger in the air and a guess rather than based on any specific knowledge about what's going to happen.
