“It is notable that despite her commitment to the truth, she hasn't revealed the identity of the rock-star boyfriend whose presence has so livened up the column recently. "Oh, I've been offered so much money!" she squirms. "I want to keep just one thing. I've lost so many people in my life. I think I've probably got two people still in my life. It's important to learn from your mistakes."”

Yeah, right... to paragraph 2.
The RS is definitely a load of (vegan) porkie pies. Good news that poor Jim Kerr will finally be left in peace, though!

I wonder if his lawyers had a quiet word. And how ridiculous to say she won't identify the RS because she wants to keep him to herself. If that were true she would never have mentioned him, his Euro trash girlfriend (who looks like a troll) his Goddess ex wife who shops at Selfridges etc, his gigs at Glastonbury etc etc.
This is a precis of the plot of Tamara Drewe from the Telegraph:
Tamara "a young writer who returns to her home village of Ewedown a transformed woman. She has a newspaper column and new nose. Everyone thinks she’s gorgeous: her teenage sweetheart and current handyman Andy Cobb (Andy Evans), rock-star drummer Ben Sergeant (Dominic Cooper), with whom she shacks up, a lascivious crime-writer, Nicholas Hardiment (Roger Allam). Everywhere she goes she can’t help but trigger testosterone trouble".

LJ is probably as crafty at dodging copyright infringement as she is about libelling/directly identifying a 'real' Rock Star.
However, one can still fantasise about the writers of Tamara Drewe, Frasier and (most of all) SATC unleashing their lawyers..
"Drewe takes up with a drummer from a rock band, until their relationship collapses over an email misunderstanding..."
How spooky!
By coincidence that is almost exactly like Liz and RS's text message misunderstanding which will no doubt see their 'relationship' collapse, probably around Xmas for maximum effect. You couldn't make it up - er, well actually ...

Very spookily alike, sort of deja vu. Life imitating art, or perhaps fiction imitating fiction.
[quote=Bellagio;54745321]Jones interview in today's Evening Standard contains the following significant piece of info:
BIB- people wouldn't BE on the trail if you didn't write about him every week Lizzie- and then you would have that happy life!!!
Quote:
“[II'm unconvinced. Each time I ask about Rock Star, say, by asking if she's going to move in with him, she keeps deflecting the question back to Dhaliwal, talking about what a nightmare he was to live with but how they actually had quite a laugh. When I ask again if RS is made up, she says: "I hope people think he is, 'cos then they wouldn't be on the trail, ha ha! And I would have such a happy life … but there is a good twist coming up." "”

This RS story reminds me of TV series like sitcoms or detective dramas, where there was always sexual tension between the two lead roles and the question would be, would they or wouldn't they get together? The scriptwriters knew that they couldn't keep the audience dangling too long or they'd totally lose interest. I don't think anyone's told Liz that. 
As for the quote from the Evening Standard that "there is a good twist coming up" .......
Bet you're all on the edge of your seats :yawn:
Yawn, yawn .......

Considering the number of times Liz has metioned eating eggs or cheese, and all the (self-)publicity about her "new venture", the milk moustache has lost the power to shock.
Except that the picture makes it clear that she thinks she's uncommonly cute, perky, and adorable. How does one get the scathing press and comments she does and yet bounce back with "Don't I look adorable? Have I told you the one about wrecking my boyfriend's bathroom? Have I? It's hysterical! I was such a naughty girl! I'm so wacky!" Anyone who is 53 years old and thinks she's perky and wacky and cute and an adorable, naughty girl has a screw loose. No, I take that back--she's got so many screws loose that the engine's fallen out of the car. None of this matches up with "I'm a competent professional woman," one of her other poses.
I don't mean to be against people of 53 having a high opinion of themselves, but wacky, cute and perky just aren't on and are embarrassing. Mutton dressed as harebrained. Kind of cringe-inducing, really: she's embarrassing herself and doesn't seem to have any idea.

Nail on the head, I couldn't have put it better.
"… but there is a good twist coming up."
Does anyone's real life have "good twists" in it?
She's virtually confessing it's fiction there.

I feel she is trying to create the persona of the girl she wishes she had been in her teens, but because of her neurosis had to jealously watch from the sidelines instead. Now 'Lizzie' is the glamorous, independent, girl around town - and, and, get this all you bitchy girls at school who wouldn't be her bestie pal, she's got a ROCK STAR BOYFRIEND! So there, nah, nah, nah...
I wholeheartedly agree with all the above comments! Very well put, everyone!
Can anyone remember what replaced the Diary in YOU when LJ had her break a few years ago? She mentioned it in last week's column and claimed "there was "a blank" in this spot for a few weeks" where her Diary used to be. I guess that tells us all we need to know about her over-inflated sense of self-importance!

She does say it's not Jim Kerr (who has apparently been dismayed at the rumours that it is him) but she won't name names.
Loving the above quote from the Evening Standard and think it is a masterpiece of understatement. I'm guessing he'd be a lot more than merely "dismayed".

I'm sure JK's lawyers used a term far stronger that 'dismayed'. The poor man's name is all over the internet linked with her, I bet his real girlfriend was considerably more than 'dismayed' herself.

So it's back to the drawing board regarding the RS's identity. Does any other 80's has been have piggy eyes and an accent straight from the Gorbals? One of the Proclaimers? How about that chap in The Pogues? Oh rats, he's Irish. Well I suppose a little poetic license is allowed.

Lol, reading this thread is far more entertaining than any of Liz's work. Straying further into fantasy, she has stated in the past that she does change personal details so that people won't recognise themselves.
So maybe he's not a RS at all - maybe a folk singer, a DJ, a TV presenter. Or maybe he's not even in the music business. A footballer, tennis player or a journalist or an author. He could be anything ...... or nothing
I'm afraid I can't help it, but I have a horrible feeling there may actually be a man in her life - poor soul, what more can we say?
Yup... which given all the hints she's dropped with all the subtlety of of a keystone Kops silent only bolsters her reputation as a dismal liar.

Ah, thanks. I was so bored by the first few paragraphs of that article that I stopped reading & missed the crucial line further down!!
