Letterman Gets Aniston Tie

Jennifer Aniston appeared in nothing but a necktie on the cover of the January 2009 issue of GQ magazine (We were only interested in the tie, honest).

And when the Friends actress went in to see David Letterman on his talk show, Late Show with David Letterman, he got more than he bargained for! No, Aniston didn't appear on the show in nothing but a necktie... she did however present Letterman with the tie used in the raunchy photoshoot.

Lucky Letterman! Will it become his new lucky tie?

Any male stars want to be like Sarah Jessica Parker?

Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker could have once again started a fashion craze by wearing a £4.50 dress.

Full story here...

No doubt male stars will want to follow suit by wearing low-budget clothes for premieres and like-events. If so, we might have something right up their street... Our Budget Tie Zone. Ties in this section are priced at just £4.99 each.

And if that is too much, in our current half price sale we have ties starting at just £3.99!

Simon Pegg - The real winner at British Comedy Awards?

Controversy has surrounded this year's British Comedy Awards. The ceremony, hosted by Jonathan Ross, went ahead despite ITV pulling its plans to broadcast the awards live, and preventing other channels from airing the ceremony by paying a £700,000 blocking fee.

ITV “suspended” the broadcast after an investigation began when it emerged that viewers in the 2005 show were phoning in votes for the People’s Choice Award after Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway had already won.

Host Ross even quipped, "We don't know for sure if this will ever go out or not so if you win an award this year, like most of the telephone votes it doesn't really count and you will still be charged."

The one definite winner was Simon Pegg, who attended the bash wearing a classic silk tie. The Hot Fuzz actor did scoop an award on the night, taking home the coveted, Writers Guild Ronnie Barker Award.

Premier Tie League Update

Sorry to have left you all in suspense since last weekend's Premier League matches, but here are the results of Saturday and Sunday's games.

Chris Hutchings (Tie) 3 - 0 Roy Keane (Tie)

Martin Jol (No tie) 4 - 0 Billy Davies (Tie)

Steve Coppell (Tie) 1 - 0 David Moyes (No tie)

Harry Redknapp (Tie) 3 - 1 Sammy Lee (Tie)

Sam Allardyce (Tie) 0 - 0 Martin O' Neill (No Tie)

Lawrie Sanchez (Tie) 1-2 Gareth Southgate (Tie)

Steve Bruce (No tie) 0-1 Alan Curbishley (No tie)

Sven Goran Eriksson (Tie) 1 - 0 Alex Ferguson (Tie)

Rafa Benitez (Tie) 1 - 1 Jose Mourinho (Tie)

Mark Hughes (Tie) 1 - 1 Arsene Wenger (Tie)

An even weekend in matches between tie-wearing bosses versus non-tie wearing managers. Steve Coppell earned a good victory for the ties with a terrific 1-0 victory over early-season form team Everton.

We highlighted Sven Goran Eriksson's nice blue tie earlier in the season. We like it a lot and it appears to be bringing the Swede a great deal of luck as his Manchester City outfit stand top of the Premier League after 3 weeks.

Another interesting weekend of fixtures await us. Will any tracksuit managers change their look? We shall see tie lovers, we shall see.
