For those of us who have been fretting that the death of Celebrity Big Brother would mean an end to random celebrities squabbling on screen (prompting comments such as, "Huh, Ivana Trump and Sisqo – never would have put them together but, you know, it makes total sense"), summer 2010 has been superlative. Mia Farrow v Naomi Campbell; Sean Penn v a Fugee: TV executives must be wondering why they ever spent money staging artificial encounters when it could have just stuck to the facts, which, in fact, is just what they are doing now. "Top news tonight: Naomi Campbell's evidence at a war crimes trial has been contradicted" – ITN, Monday evening news.
