British Prime Minister David Cameron came in for some drubbing from a court judge in London for calling himself a fan of celebrity chef Nigella Lawson who is in the middle of a fraud trial in which she is a main prosecution witness. 

David Cameron said recently that he was on "Team Nigella" - the name adopted by the chefs' supporters in the legal case. 

Judge Robin Johnson from Isleworth Crown Court asked jurors to disregard the comments made by Cameron. 

Calling himself a "massive fan" of Nigella, Cameron said "I've had the great pleasure of meeting her a couple of times and she always strikes me as a very funny and warm person, but I'm also an amateur cook and I like her recipes. Nancy (Cameron's nine-year-old daughter) and I sometimes watch a bit of Nigella on telly". 

It's a selfie that shook the world — mostly the tabloid and online world. An animated self-portrait ("selfie" in Internet argot) of US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron taken by Denmark's blonde leader Helle Thorning-Schmidt at Nelson Mandela's memorial service on Tuesday titillated the prissy and the prurient across the world, before the photographer who captured the moment said it was no big deal and trashed modern-day obsession with trivialities.

It all began when within minutes after the Mandela memorial service in South Africa, photos surfaced of a grinning Obama and Cameron on either side of Thorning-Schmidt, as she cheerfully took a self-portrait of the trio. The US president's wife, Michelle Obama, was next to Obama, staring ahead stone-facedly on what many saw as a serious occasion.
