A co-conspirator has forwarded me a note he's just found addressed to Jonathan Ross: "Dear Jonathan I've shagged your daughter. Who's laughing now? Regards, Gary Glitter" I wonder if Jonathan Ross will find that funny and the sort of thing the BBC should broadcast. I know I don't. Hat Tip: Anuj.

Russell Brand fell on his sword yesterday. The Controller of Radio 2, Lesley Douglas, has also done the same. Jonathan Ross, quite naturally, has decided not to do the same and I imagine the BBC doesn't want to go through a lengthy legal battle with Ross's lawyers. Although Ross is being suspended without pay, I wanted to see him go. The BBC will not allow comments on their website to be...

I am afraid I foresee the end of Jonathan Ross's career at the BBC. The Sun appears to have made it their top priority to call for his head. The rather harmless joke he made about giving an unnamed 86 year old one last night on his Radio 2 show fuelled the calls for him to go. I make no bones about it. I like Jonathan Ross's shows and his unique brand of humour. Yes, sometimes he goes to...

Jonathan Ross, 12 weeks while Brand and Douglas must depart? That stinks. Among BBC staff, there is anger that she has been forced to fall on her sword, while Jonathan Ross clings on to his job. Not just among BBC staff, I suspect. The test of what the public really thinks, whether they have the courage of their convictions, is at the end of the 12 weeks. Will you boycott the show when Ross return...

Jonathan Ross remains the BBC's highest earning star, despite the furore surrounding lewd messages left on Andrew Sachs' answerphone. The fate of the BBC's £6 million star was decided in a crunch meeting by members of the BBC Trust - the organisation tasked with ensuring licence fee payers get value for money. Ross was a guest on Russell Brand's Radio 2 show, which was br...

The BBC has parted company with Jonathan Ross, its most highly paid and controversial entertainer, in a move that is likely to bolster the broadcaster in political battles that lie ahead

Jonathan Ross is around £1.4 million worse off after his cold and calculating humiliation of Andrew Sachs, aided and abetted by Russell Brand. However, he will still earn £16.6 million over three years. The BBC sees it fit to allow two other employees to fall on their swords and leave the corporation, but allow Ross to stay with a final warning. No, no, no. He should have departed for ...

The two nitwits, Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand, have eventually been suspended by the BBC. It's a shame in one respect because I've always quite liked Jonathan Ross, especially his radio stuff. Russell Brand however is a different thing altogether. He is just a talentless muppet who deserves suspending, preferably from a lamppost. What it does show is the utter contempt the BBC have fo...

The BBC Trust releases the findings of an inquiry into the Andrew Sachs row today.  Sky are already reporting, though, that there will be no ruling to sack Jonathan Ross.  Expect more details later.

Jeremy Hunt, the shadow culture secretary, is using "Brand/Rossgate" as a way of re-igniting the debate about what exactly the BBC should be doing with regard its public service remit. I interviewed Hunt, one of the ones to watch in Cameron's team, recently and asked him about Jonathan Ross's salary and how it could be justified. He seemed to be happy for Ross to take home £18 mill...
