Paper Monitor

11:33 UK time, Wednesday, 27 June 2007

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

Newspaper people like awards ceremonies, with their flowing free drink and food. So it's no surprise that a fair few of them are sponsored by papers - the Guardian's student journalism awards and the Mirror's Pride of Britain awards among them.

But the Express has wandered off the beaten track with its British Housebuilder awards. A-listers did not abound at this ceremony that dominates page 27 of the paper.

Paper Monitor has to note that this housebuilding lark seems to be a male-dominated thing. The main photo shows 16 suited men along with Vanessa Feltz.

Over in the Sun, there is some enthusiasm for the ongoing cash-for-honours investigation, with the joyous news that a blonde 25-year-old adult film star has been caught up in the inquiry. Get your politics in your super-soaraway Sun.

And there's more on page six with a little bit of the good cop, bad cop routine. All-seeing Westminster journalism Yoda Trevor Kavanagh says Blair has failed. But the leader column at the left-hand side of the page says history will judge him kindly.

In the Times the miscellany-master Ben Schott does a turn on prime ministers. Here you can find out that the most popular star signs for prime ministers are Aries and Libra (each 11.5% - of everybody since Robert Walpole).

Brown is a Pisces, and the horoscopes today offer hidden messages for him.

In the Mail, there is a veiled comment on his unopposed election - "when people think they have an easy answer, they immediately stop looking for anything else".

In the Mirror, there is the encouraging "you make mistakes like anyone but you have less need to apologise". In the Express there is the promising "you might be told something that makes you feel incredible".

Only the Sun's Mystic Meg baffles by asserting: "A healing moon makes this a key day to talk to a relative who feels misunderstood."

Who could it be?
