Domestic Goddess
 
This might not turn out so well...

Nigella Lawson 'was so off her head on cocaine that she allowed her assistants to spend £300,000 on credit cards', court hears

Can you be convicted of drug offences in this situation?

I'd definitely eat more cake (believe it or not, I don't really like it) if it was powdered with some Colombian bam bam.

The press is all over this in the UK at the mo.

I hope it's only slander but I have a sad feeling it's true and that Saatchi, instead of the barbarous abuser, was only an angry husband confronting his wife about a ten year drug habit and £300K down the drain. One of the photos from the restaurant scene last summer even shows him holding Nigella's nose and probing it as if looking for evidence of a coke habit.

His public silence on the drug habit till forced out by the courts only makes him look better.

But can someone really keep a major drug habit a secret from a spouse for ten years?

anyway you look at it grabbing her by the throat and forcibly examining her nostrils is assault and a move only an abusive dick would undertake

Sure.

But how many of us have been in a situation where we've just found out that the wife hid a hugely expensive drug habit for a decade?

It's hard to gauge the effect such a discovery would have on a person if we haven't experienced it. As Mrs. Ethos said to me, 'I really don't know what my immediate reaction would be but you'd better hope there isn't a handy cast iron frying pan lying around'.

No , she can be questioned relating to information and cautioned but to charge someone you need evidence . The charge of possession or possession with intent to supply doesnt apply .

They tried to charge Kate Moss a few years ago with evidence of mobile phone footage but possession needs to be proved .

Another TV celeb who like a bit of toot , no real big story . She's the darling of the Daily Mail readers though .

They'll be choking on their Granola this morning .;)

Part of a matching set too I hope, with a nice embossed handle design, nestling beside the Aga.

It must have come as quite a shock for Charles Saatchi to see someone taking cocaine after his sheltered life in advertising.

We got a couple pieces of Le Creuset cookware as wedding gifts.

Damn heavy I can tell you. I dropped the big casserole on my foot once. Not fun.

I think he's just pissed off she didn't share. Snorting a dirty big line off those mammaries might just of saved their marriage.

The big casserole is indeed the bloody awful orange. Everything else is red.
