Pippa Middleton makes return to London party scene After charming a number of eligible bachelors, including the tennis player Spencer Vegosen and the hotelier Andre Balazs, on her recent trip to America, where she celebrated her 29th birthday, it is heartening to see that Britain still holds some allure for Pippa Middleton. The producers of Twelfth Night at Shakespeare's Globe have issued a statement in which they concede that there is "unease" about it being in "existence" for eight weeks before they will countenance it being reviewed. That's when it transfers to the Apollo Theatre and opens on Nov 17. Dominic Dromgoole, the boss of the Globe, and Sonia Friedman, a producer, insist: "This was a decision arrived at before casting started." They are not happy that this has elicited some "comment." Certain beasts have suggested that Twelfth Night's current status as the show that dare not speak it's name might not be unconnected to the fact that Stephen Fry, when he last appeared on the stage in Cell Mates 17 years ago, fled to Belgium after seeing a review of his performance that was less than flattering. Least said, then, soonest mended. Down at heel Manolo Blahnik's shoes - rather than his feet - appear to be killing him. "I am not doing heels so high any more," says the man whose crazy footwear won the heart of Sex in the City's Carrie Bradshaw, at a Harper's Bazaar party to celebrate the film Diana Vreeland: The Eye has to Travel. If I see another platform shoe, I will just die.
