Hollywood

I rarely pay attention to Oscars season - despite the usual who wore what ludicrousness being splashed all over the papers.

This year, however, it was who used what that grabbed the headlines.

Selma Blair, who announced her MS diagnosis last October, made her red carpet appearance with her pink diamond customised cane.

News outlets have reacted in their usual fashion with words like 'brave', 'inspirational' and 'crippled' sprinkled liberally through reports.

But I think she describes it best herself - with honesty, hopefulness and great humour.
