Julie BurchillJulie Burchill (born July 3, 1959) is a British journalist noted for her acerbic writing. She started her career writing for the New Musical Express after responding, with her husband-to-be Tony Parsons, to an advert in that paper seeking hip young gunslingers to write about the then emerging punk rock movement. Until 2003, she wrote a weekly column in The Guardian. Her departure was caused by disagreements with the readers caused by her pro-Israel and anti-Arab views in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She currently writes for The Times. She has made many books and has written about and made a television programme regarding the death of her father from asbestosis. Burchill was briefly married to Parsons and then to Cosmo Landesman, the son of Fran and Jay Landesman. Both marriages produced a son. She recently married again, to a much younger man, and wrote of the joys of having a "toyboy" in her Times' Weekend Review column.
