From an Austen anniversary to a Sundance full of female talent, the new year is already packed with highlights. What are you looking forward to this year?
No one expects 2013 to be easy, but we'll take our kicks where we can, and only a week in, there are already cultural triumphs for women to celebrate. The band Haim, three sisters from California, stormed to the top of the BBC's Sound of 2013 list, and for the first time all five categories of the Costa prize were won by women. The frontrunner to take the overall prize on 29 January is Hilary Mantel, with her novel Bring Up the Bodies, but Mary and Bryan Talbot's graphic memoir, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes, has also been highly lauded.
There are plenty of other books to look forward to, including Bedsit Disco Queen by Tracey Thorn (Virago, February), Sisterland by Curtis Sittenfeld, (Doubleday, June), a...

As The Inbetweeners, the movie about a lads-only holiday, opens with record box-office takings, four British comedians recall their own youthful travels
Lucy Porter
When I was 16, my mate Carmel persuaded her uncle to lend a group of us his Spanish villa. We were all quite shy girls and not that popular at home, so we thought that abroad we could get tanned and kiss boys. We had loads of planning meetings and I put our travel documents in a folder with "Five Go Mad in Marbella" in bubble writing on the front. Unfortunately, the villa wasn't actually in Marbella, it was miles outside, up a steep hill. Thanks to my staff discount at Ravel, we'd all bought new plastic sandals. We walked into town once and were crippled.
After that, we stayed put and tried to sunbathe, but the place was riddled with flies and the retired British policeman...

Tere Bin Laden
In a film tradition where comedies rarely evolve into satires, Tere Bin Laden (Tbl) signifies a refreshing change. It does what Nato hasn’t been able to do in 9 years; disarm the numero uno terrorist. It strips off Bin Laden’s carefully crafted persona – conjured, in equal measures, by his own video dispatches and the western media - by making him an object of ridicule and laughter. But that’s just one part of it. The other, and more important, bit is its denigration of the American campaign in the Af-Pak region that it tries to legitimise in the name of Bin Laden, a MacGuffin, for all practical purposes.
But before I go any further with the film, I’d like to talk about a bit about a few things that are, in one way or the other, related to Tbl.

London, Apr 29 – A Hollywood hunk, ex-lovers, a blue film scene and even what to buy in a grocery store-these are things that women think of while having sex.
Some women have now revealed what really scores with them between the sheets.
Single comedian Shazia Mirza, 34, said that some of her friends revealed that during sex they are mentally writing a to-do list, remembering clothes they have to wash, what they’ve got to buy at Tesco’s or those shoes they love in Selfridges.
And some women even think of men they secretly fantasise of.

David Baddiel's story of a Muslim man who discovers he is Jewish unfolds in a series of inventive, often very funny encounters, says Philip French
Ethnic identity and the troubling competition between religious groups have been perennial subjects for both tragedy and comedy, and for the melodramatic and sentimental spaces in between. Now with The Infidel, the author and Jewish stand-up David Baddiel, one of the sharpest and funniest men in Britain, has thrown himself into the fray at a time when the stakes are perhaps higher than ever before. Will he succeed where others have failed and how would his success be measured?
One of the most popular plays of the 1920s, Abie's Irish Rose, about the love affair between young Jewish and Irish New Yorkers, is now remembered largely for a couplet in Rogers and Hart's "Manhattan" ("Our future babies we'll take to Abie's Irish Rose/ I...
