A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

Despite the eyes and lenses of the rest of the world's media being focused on the fighting in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, there can be little surprise that the Daily Express and Daily Star choose instead to continue their relentless coverage of stablemate Channel Five's Celebrity Big Brother.

But even the Star's "BIG BRO HUNK'S 5-IN-A-BED SEX ROMPS" turns out to be less than accurate. The first sentence (in much smaller print) reports that the hunk in question "aims to romp with four women in the house". "Aims to"? Not quite what the headline suggests, surely?

Another house in the news is the £8m Gothic revival house that Lord Mandelson's reported to be buying. While details of the house are limited beyond the fact that it's over four floors with three bedrooms and a wine cellar, it gives the Telegraph a chance to list his previous London abodes in the likes of Notting Hill and Primrose Hill, territory likely to be familiar with readers of the paper.

And amid the many images of men in military uniform accompanying the reports from Libya, there is room for one another uniform - that of the PM on holiday.

Whether in the rolling hills of Tuscany or the beaches of Cornwall, Mr Cameron favours the safety of a dark polo shirt, avoiding any opportunity for the press to pass judgement on his sartorial taste.

Or maybe he's hoping that he'll be deemed "thrifty" as his wife has been by the Daily Mail for sporting a dress that she'd worn before. Very Kate Middleton.
