Whose life is it anyway?

It was a clash of two rather different titans on Monday as Sunday Times war correspondent Marie Colvin turned up at the launch of Marie Helvin's biography at The Ivy, reports the Independent. Apparently the two are occasionally mixed up, which means the battle-hardened, eye patch-wearing reporter getting red-carpet invites while the former model is invited to embassy soirees. Colvin, it turns out, once ran up a £26,000 bill after forgetting to turn off her satellite phone. Well, we've all been there.
