Joely Richardson may not meet ambassador's expectations A year ago, I disclosed how the Communities Secretary reckoned the number of followers that he had on the Twitter social networking website would soon be outnumbering the former deputy prime minister's. Prezza then had 38,700 against Pickles's 11,600. It is true Pickles has since almost doubled his following, but it is not enough to put him in the same league as Big John, who now boasts a whopping 119,500. It may be Pickles simply isn't pulling his weight. When I looked yesterday, it was clear he hadn't bothered to come up with a single Tweet for a whole week. Prezza, with time on his hands, is seldom, if ever, not pontificating. Age before beauty Sophie Anderton may, at 34, be almost two decades younger than Andie MacDowell, but the model can't wait to follow the example of the L'Oréal poster star. "Bring on the ageing process," she tells Mandrake. I really do want some wrinkles. So much of the good modelling campaigns are for anti-ageing. As soon as I get a few wrinkles, I can go for those jobs, too. Sophie first found fame appearing in advertising for Gossard underwear.
