ON THE LATE SHOW TONIGHT - 

Lights! Cameron! Action!

As Meryl Streep prepares to play Lady Thatcher in the upcoming movie 'The Iron Lady', The Late Show re-casts Hollywood stars as British Politicians.

Danny DeVito as Clare Short? 
Clint Eastwood as Tony Benn?

ALSO
Catholic bishops have given their backing to a new way of confessing for sinners in a hurry - by mobile phone.
The new app (or application) allows users to make confession with a virtual "priest" over the internet!

Coming on the same day that the police have been rapped for not being up-to-speed with social media, we talk about how computer savvy you are.

and finally The situation Soundtrack:
Thousands of garden gnomes descended on Liverpool Street Station yesterday morning to form the first ever pint-sized flashmob.

5,000 of the ornaments were put at the busy London station to mark the release of the film 'Gnomeo & Juliet' 3D.

SO SONGS FOR GARDEN GNOMES

Elf! - The Beatles
In The Mushroom - Cream
Pixie Inferno - The Tramps
Gnomeward Bound - Simon & Garfunkel
