American Idol was announced to be coming to an end after 15 seasons yesterday (May 12), but did you know that Ryan Seacrest used to have a co-host?
Brian Dunkleman hosted the Fox competition's first season alongside Ryan Seacrest, before the latter took sole control. History has not been kind to poor old Brian since, with Fox TV CEO Dana Walden joking about a possible reunion for the pair.
"Where is Brian Dunkleman? If you give me his number, I will call and invite him," she joked, though Dunkleman gave as good as he got last night:
I knew American Idol would never last without me #Cancelled

To honour Dunkleman, we have collected a few hosts of massive shows that you may have cruelly forgotten, starting with the man himself.

Thirty-five years after it vanished, The Black Panther – Ian Merrick's 1977 film about serial killer Donald Neilson – emerges as a gripping and highly responsible true-crime movie
After nearly four decades, Donald Neilson, aka the Black Panther, seems in retrospect like some figment of the phantasmagoric north England of the 1970s, the gothic, occult north of David Peace and the Red Riding trilogy. His crimes – countless burglaries, three murders (of village postmasters), and the kidnapping of teenage heiress Lesley Whittle – took him on meticulously planned nocturnal peregrinations across the north and the Midlands against the unfolding background of the three-day week, the oil crisis, and the Ira's first sustained mainland bombing campaign. (Or, if you prefer, between the decline of glam-rock and the rise of punk.) The dead years, in other words, a leaden age.
Neilson's arrest in December 1975 came just two months after the apprehension of another largely forgotten apparition of the period,...

Riots and the threat of financial meltdown haven't been enough to drag David Cameron and George Osborne back home. Does history suggest they've made a mistake?
Politicians on holiday just can't win. They're damned if they do take their full entitlement, like Tony Blair, and damned if they don't, like workaholics Gordon Brown and Margaret Thatcher. Damned if they wear black town shoes with no socks (smoothie David Cameron in Tuscany last week) or slope around Los Angeles like a scruffier sort of backpacker (George Osborne).
And when a crisis hits the fan in August they're damned if they complacently sink into their deck chairs ("crisis, what crisis?") and damned if they scuttle back to the capital and are promptly accused of spooking feather-brained financial markets. Denis Healey did it when he dashed back from Heathrow (heading for the Imf, not a holiday) in 1976.
This year has seen the whole gamut.

The new film The Iron Lady looks to capture the image of a woman capable of deploying sexual allure politically
Ever since French president François Mitterrand suggested that Margaret Thatcher had "the eyes of Caligula, the mouth of Marilyn Monroe", we've had to get used to the unbelievable truth that Margaret Thatcher was made of more than iron.
The publicity still of Meryl Streep released to promote her forthcoming performance in the film The Iron Lady continues that counterintuitive narrative. Not Thatcher, Milk Snatcher. But Thatcher, Seducer. The image ideally realises what Tory makeover people wanted Thatcher to be – not just the hard-as-nails Conservative who destroyed a nation's industrial base, but a woman capable of deploying sexual allure politically.
Streep, I feel sure, will be able to modulate that psychic transition subtly if her career as an actor and the photo of her as Thatcher are anything to go by.

Originally published in the Guardian on 17 November 1980
The Conservative Party will get rid of Mrs Thatcher in about three years' time and Lord Carrington will probably become party leader, according to Sir Harold Wilson in a television interview to be screened tonight.
Speaking on the BBC Panorama programme, Sir Harold says that Mrs Thatcher will be consigned to Tory mythology. "If they (the Tories) decide they're going to lose the next election with her there, she'll be ditched and it will be as though she's never been. She'll become a non-person."
He describes Mrs Thatcher as "the best man" the Tories have got and praises her for her success over Rhodesia, attributing her achievement to Lord Carrington, the Foreign Secretary. "I think he would be a very formidable leader. I think he would take an awful lot of beating."
On the Labour Party leadership, Sir Harold says he voted for...

Just outside of Barcelona there is a pretty little seaside resort called Sitges. Beloved by the gay community and horror movie aficionados, it is this year's venue for the Bilderberg Club's annual general meeting. "The what?" asked Noah, my editor. Evidently he hasn't received an invite.
Or maybe he has. The first rule of Bilderberg is, apparently, that you don't talk about Bilderberg--at least, you don't discuss what went on during the meetings, as they are governed by the Chatham House Rule. The group is a secretive cabal made up of big cheeses in the political, financial, and media world. Invitees include ex-presidents, former heads of institutions such as the World Bank and Nato, diplomats, and Nobel Prize winners. I'm wondering whether Conan O'Brien will be there this year. Head of his production company, Conanco, is Henry Kissinger's son David. Conan, Bilderberg needs you!
