Ringo Starr, the Beatles’ drummer, has admitted he has “found God” after taking what he described as a winding life of enlightenment.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Starr, who is now a teetotal and has quit his 60-a-day cigarette habit, said that religion was one of the most important aspects in his life.

Cardinal Gustavo Porchi Writes a ‘Welcome to God’ Open Letter to Ringo
Dear Signore Starr,
You have found God! Sono felice!! I am so happy because it is NEVER too late… Even though you have led a lascivious and drug-sodden life thus far, praise be that you have come into HIS fold to receive HIS blessings!
As one of Rome’s Cardinals (and best boyhood friend to Italian Prime Minister, Sylvio Berlusconi), I would be honored to be your spiritual mentor. It is always a pleasure to receive even the most debauched of confessions and in return, bestow peace and forgiveness upon the true penitent.
In fact, before he returned to his heavenly home, our most beloved Papa, John Paul (may he be granted an early Sainthood!) confessed to me that he was rather too fond of ‘the belt’.
This innocent and touching revelation has only recently come to public light, but it has been shocking, SHOCKING, the way the Holy Father’s pious acts of daily (and nightly) devotion to ‘La Dea’ as he fondly used to call God’s leather instrument, has been distorted by the press!
Why, Signore Starr, I will be the first to admit that I feel MUCH nearer to God’s true mercy after a jolly good flagellation. I feel that you, being a drummer, will be a ‘natural’.
God bless you and keep you
Cardinal Gustavo Porchi

Dear Hewdge readers
Hewdge has been following the outpouring of irritation at Italian Prime Minister Sylvio Berlusconi’s latest gaffe, where he once again refers to US President Obama’s ‘tan’.
Hewdge’s last article concerns Cuba’s strongman and former sex symbol Fidel Castro, who has sired more than 10 children by various women on the island, and whose prowess is the subject of a new book ‘Without Fidel’ by journalist Ann Bardach.
What a Hewdge surprise! All this time, Michael Jackson had a secret sister named JohVonnie, who, according to the news media, was an ‘outcast’ and rejected by the Jackson clan. Read the full story here:
