Always interesting to learn how professionals work.

Before each show, he only eats a little, Florian Silbereisen told the "Bild" newspaper, "this time it was a boiled potato and a banana".

Interesting idea how Silbereisen cooks a single potato, puts it in a Tupperware box and eats it in his dressing room just before the show.

We ourselves, if we were ever in the embarrassment of having to moderate a Silbereisen show, would drink at least one bottle of wine and smoke a joint beforehand, of course only a legalized one.

Before writing this column, on the other hand, we are even more disciplined than Silbereisen.

This time we only ate a cooked noodle and half a blueberry.

Maybe that wasn't enough, because the story of "Frau im Spiegel"

We initially misunderstood about singer Peter Kraus, who runs a winery in southern Styria: Instead of "He planted 3000 vines years ago" we read "He planted vines 3000 years ago", and Peter Kraus is that old really not yet.

Brambach's romance

Actor Martin Brambach is also sometimes misunderstood.

"At the bottom of my heart I'm very romantic.

However, it is not always so obvious,” he tells “Frau im Spiegel”.

"Whenever I come with flowers, my wife immediately asks: Well, what have you done again?" The romance of Brambach's wife doesn't seem to be particularly apparent to us either.

After all, as he says, it is “much more practical in the household.

By the time I even noticed that there was dust somewhere and thought about how to go about it, she'd already taken care of it.” Our strategy is similar: the trash can has been overflowing for days;

we don't yet know how we're going to do this.

Unfortunately, the rest of the family seems to be thinking about it too.

A man of action, on the other hand, is and always has been Guido Maria Kretschmer.

"During my studies in Spain I had a cleaning job with a family and was fired after the second time because I redecorated the whole house," he tells the "Neues Blatt".

"I think it looked so much nicer." The third time he would have started tailoring the clothes in the closet.

In her report on the visit of the Spanish royal couple, “Gala” tells us how important it is to wear the right clothes.

"She wears fashion from the Spanish department store chain Zara just as naturally as luxury labels," says Letizia.

"In Germany, she chose several looks from the German brand Hugo Boss - a clever diplomatic gesture." Given that 15 percent of Boss shares are owned by an Italian company, we would have thought it even more fitting that Letizia appeared in a Trigema tracksuit.

Did Olaf Scholz at least wear Chanel or Dior during his crisis talks in France?

We're afraid his suit was probably

made in China

.

Awesome record

From time to time, acting gallant Sky du Mont (75) slips out of the suit.

"Then he swaps the fine thread for jeans and a T-shirt and puts on a cool Rolling Stones record," says "Neue Post".

"When 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction' plays, I suddenly become 30 years younger," says du Mont. It's just strange that this groovy Rolling Stones number is from 1965 - but to become 57 years younger in one fell swoop might be too tiring.

Richard Lugner tends to rejuvenate himself through female accompaniment, but he has adapted his claims to the circumstances: "She should be over 40", according to the "Neuen Blatt"

said.

It remains unclear whether she should be as old as Lugner himself, who just celebrated his ninetieth birthday.

90 is already over 40.

Queen Elizabeth's corgis have to get used to a new companion, who are now being looked after by her son Andrew and his ex-wife.

"Woman in the Mirror"

prints a photo and writes: "Say cheese: Sarah Ferguson smiles into the camera together with the corgi." Unfortunately, we have to say that it's fake news, because we took a close look: the corgi isn't smiling at all.

It's still faring better than other of the late Queen's favourites.

"Queen Elizabeth - The terrible fate of her horses!" Headlines "The Current".

Anyone who fears that the poor animals are being processed into

black pudding

or

sausages

can rest easy : they are only being sold.

The new king wants to save, and as we can see from Gala, he has been doing so for a long time.

"Charles had his Aston Martin converted to run on biofuel made from white wine and whey," we read.

Should this technology prevail, it would also open up new perspectives for us ordinary people: instead of a shabby spare canister, we would always have a couple of nice wine bottles with us in the trunk.

But watch out: If you let yourself be carried away by lifting one together with your car, then you should both better stop driving afterwards.
