DIARY: Stories we could tell ... Gutsy Kenny's adventure of a lifetime

The binge season is upon us, but it may have started a few months earlier for Jonathan Kenny. Many will remember the former marketing whizz at media and the International Herald Tribune as a very dapper sort. Who could forget Kenny in his white tux bounding up the stage to claim his Hunk of the Year prize at media's Agency of the Year awards some years back. Well this has now landed on Diary's desk, courtesy of Kenny's friends in Hong Kong, who've begged to remain anonymous. The good life on his yacht sailing around the world with girlfriend Caroline Foster, now on sabbatical from CIA, has certainly caught up with Kenny. Shall we call it the tycoon look? He's got the prerequisite yacht, the tan, the bedroom eyes and now the gut to stake his claim. But it wasn't all a laughing matter because on his journey, Kenny has battled a man-eating shark in the Indian Ocean and escaped death by the skin of his teeth by bribing a Yemeni policeman who was pointing a Kalashnikov at his head. Kenny and Foster, who are now resting near Rome, have announced plans to tie the knot next July. Amid the high jinks, the jury is still out on whether Kenny is the next James Bond. Or is Austin Powers a more likely role for this international man of mystery?
