Robert Smith said it had been a strange week for him. You’re not kidding. He starts off by writing down his dreams because, ‘they help me to write songs.’ He drinks tea and coffee all day long because it stops him eating. He admits to dressing up a lot when he’s alone and on Saturday, ‘I dressed up as my mum and cooked a curry.’ In another great Flexipop! cock-up, we gave Robert two Thursdays in his week. On one of them (it should’ve been Tuesday) he went to the cinema to watch ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ and found himself running up and down the aisles with some kids, ‘following the spaceships shooting overhead.’
Steve Strange told us he went out jogging at least three days a week with Des O’Connor’s daughter, Karen. He said that Martin Kemp was one of his best friends and during the week they both went to Paris to do some promotional work with Paula Yates. At the hotel in Paris he was asked to leave after one night to make way for ex-President Richard Nixon who wanted his room. The things you can find out if you ask…
Suggs spent a lot of his week rehearsing a new song, House Of Fun, at a studio in Holloway Road. He and his missus, Bette Bright, had the builders in and he was getting woken up early by the noise they were making. Madness also recorded a spot for the Kenny Everett Television Show in which Lee dressed up as Gary Glitter.
