I think I might have a crush on Jedward…. November 5, 2009

Okay, so The X Factor means sitting at home on a Saturday night with a bottle of wine, and Chinese takeaway and the inevitable argument with my housemate over who’s the fittest guy on the X factor, and although I hate to admit it, I think Jedward might be up there.

There’s no denying that I’d drop them like a pair of hot bricks should Olly Murs come walking along in nothing but a towel, but I’m actually starting to become intrigued by their somewhat bizarre behaviour.

Seriously, don’t you all want to know what the fuss is about with these two? They’re like the two crazy kids who have no idea at how terrible their singing voices are and how they’re really NOT the sex symbols they think they are… but it’s my fury at them being like that which is making me want to hang out with them even more.

It’s probably the most stupid thing I’ve ever said though, because in college I used to despise this guy (no names….) and he used to really annoy the hell out of me, but then that anger turned into lust, and I ended up asking him out on a date… turned out I was totally right about him and he was quickly ditched… so I imagine Jedward will probably turn out the same way L

But who do you like best? Have a perve on their new pictures and let us know who takes your fancy in our X Factor – The Boys Who’s The Hottest feature.

Peter Andre Attends Premiere With A New Glamour Model On His Arm…. November 4, 2009

Katie Price will probably be climbing the walls this morning when she see’s her ex husband attending last nights A Christmas Carol Premiere with a younger glamour model… ooh err!

Okay, so we know Peter and the gorgeous Nicola McClean aren’t romancing each other (in fact Nicola and her hubby Tom Williams, who plays for Peterborough United, are expecting a baby) but they have become close friends since Pete’s split from Katie Price.

And whilst Katie might be acting all loved up with new fella Alex Reid, she’s made no attempt to hide her bitterness towards Pete’s friendship with a women vying for Katie’s glamour’s crown!

According to The Daily Mirror, Katie was furious when she saw Nicola playing with her kids Junior and Princess during an episode of ‘Peter Andre: The Next Chapter,’ personally we didn’t even think she’d bother to watch it.

The source even said; “Katie couldn’t believe it. She was shouting at the telly saying it was outrageous. It’s obvious it’s just for the cameras and has been done to wind her up.” Eer, Katie love, Earth calling here…. Nicola is a happily married mum playing with your kids, not Pete’s girlfriend and you get jealous, but expect Pete to be fine with you letting your bruiser bloke play with them in places the paparazzi just ‘happen’ to be.

We’re glad Pete’s getting on with his life, and looking hotter than ever. Maybe Nicola has a nice friend to introduce him to?

Lady GaGa WHAT Are You Wearing Now?! November 3, 2009

Lady GaGa has yet again unleashed her terrifying wardrobe choice on us, and at the same time has decided to celebrate Halloween a few days late….

Personally I think this rather odd ensemble she pranced around in at the Annual ACE Awards in New York – which looks rather like she’s got flour all over her after a failed baking session – just takes the *ahem* biscuit.

Okay, so maybe Lady GaGa was just making some cupcakes or a pizza before glancing at the clock and realising she had to be in NYC to pick up an award for accessories (they are giving awards for anything these days) but we’re not convinced.

I don’t think the whole lace helmet and bra-over-shit look is ever going to take off here in Wigan, but then again, I doubt any of GaGa’s fashion choices will…

What do you think? Halloween horror or Gaga-Tastic?

Jordan Twitters On (Again) November 2, 2009

Katie Price is a lady you can always count on to drag a laugh out of your hungover lips on a Sunday afternoon isn’t she? I mean, is there anyone else who didn’t actually squirt out their Rennie Resolve all over their bed after reading her latest Twitter rant?

Okay, probably just me then, but it seems that she might not have slept off the Halloween punch after she posted a number of odd comments on her Twitter page yesterday – urging her “haters” to ATTACK her.

Now, I know there’s a fair few people who wish Katie Price would just keep her trap shut these days, but I don’t think any of them would actually want to attack her, although, saying that, someone felt strongly enough about the quite boring Leona Lewis to attack her in a bookshop so God knows what they’d do to Miss Price.

And she’s giving them even more reason to at the moment after she fumed; “Your right, Im always wrong Im hated I never do anything right do I sorry for that!! Xx” Before another one read: “Come on all you people who slag me off an hate me get it off your chest.”

I know Katie has faced a bitter backlash from the public since her split from Peter Andre, but she doesn’t seem to be doing herself any favours at the moment does she?

Chris Brown STILL Wants Rihanna Back!! October 23, 2009

Chris Brown, what planet are you on mate? Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder why the heck he is still hoping to get back with his ex Rihanna?

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they loved each other like salt and pepper, but after he gave her a backhander earlier this year, and left her looking rather like a giant purple and red balloon, we’re pretty sure she’s not interested.

Now we’re not wanting to speak for the Umbrella lady, but after Chris bumbled on to Hot 97 FM about how he felt about Rihanna, I was left feeling somewhat queasy, he said; “Feelings are feelings and they don’t go away overnight, especially if you sit down and be like, ‘Look, I’m [going to] really be in this relationship with you. Past whatever the case, past our busy schedules, past us being two of the biggest artists.’ I really care about her.”

Well, note to Chris, you WERE one of the biggest artists… and now Rihanna is hanging out with Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake, I think it’s probably a case of ‘Chris who?’ especially when he tried to get our sympathy by moaning; “That was one of the most embarrassing things for me, because of my image and who I was as a young role model to a lot of kids. ‘It was hard for me.”

Err, hard for you? What about poor old Rihanna who couldn’t go out without a face full of make up for a month and who’s probably terrified that the next man she falls for will do the same thing?

Seriously, is Chris Brown completely bonkers? Do you think Rihanna should actually give him another chance?

WTF Has Katie Price Come As? Oh, A Man Dressed As A Woman…. Right. October 22, 2009

Katie Price will do anything for a few column inches won’t she? And this latest publicity stunt almost made me do a bit of sick in my mouth…. Considering she’s dressed up as a man in drag… being a WOMAN!

I mean, COME ON Katie, you’ve stepped out in blue leotards and a massive pink wedding dress, but being a woman, dressed up as a man dressed as a woman is taking things a little bit too far don’t you think?

Okay, so it might have been a bit of a joke at all the press attention over the fact that her bloke Alex Reid likes to dress up as a woman from time to time (not that we actually care about anything Alex does, considering he’s not actually famous).

Either way, we’ve all had a good belly laugh at this outrageous image of KP and her man as well as brother Danny, riding instructor Andrew Gould and good friend Phil Turner all dressed up as her skimpy outfits, wigs and make-up. Excellent!

Only one problem though, the fans didn’t really seem to get it, with one commenting to Heatworld; “They looked like a freakshow. Katie was nice but the blokes just looked scary. It was a very weird thing to do.”

Whatever next? Will she and Alex dress up as a horse for the launch of her equestrian line? I wonder which one will be the butt of that stunt?

Kanye West Dead? Only On Twitter! October 21, 2009

Kanye West might not be everyone’s favourite singer after he publicly embarrassed Taylor Swift at the MTV VMA awards, but it seems that someone is really, really cross with the star… so much so that they’ve decided to kill him.

Well, on Twitter at least… in truth the only thing that’s dead about Kanye West is his popularity, although, I guess being the top trending topic on Twitter might suggest something to the contrary.

Anyway, it looks as though the rumour that the rapper was dead is completely false, despite the phrase Kanye West Dead being the top search trend on Google overnight.

Personally I reckon someone is either still majorly pissed off with Kanye and wanted to pretended he was dead, OR Kanye wanted to cash in on the media hype over dead celebs after seeing the popularity the likes of Michael Jackson and Stephen Gately have been given since their demise, after all, he has got a new book to promote….

What do you think kids?

Katie Price: There Was Another Women In Our Marriage October 21, 2009

Katie Price is at it again… not content with whining about the pap’s, Pete or showing her sex life down our throat, Katie is now going all princess Diana on us by claiming: “There were three people in our marriage.”

The glamour girl hasn’t been able to keep quite since her split from Peter Andre in May, and now it looks like the latest ‘sensational story’ from camp Price is that her ex was effectively married to both her and their manager Claire Powell.

Now, Claire – who we wouldn’t like to see angry – is taking legal action against Katie after she rambled on to Graham Norton that the pair were having an affair, but we reckon it was all hot air after Katie was dropped by Claire when she went onto ‘team Pete’ in the aftermath of the split.

Either way, Katie has said that she was “suffocated” by Claire‘s presence and added: “I’m well out of there. I got my life back.” According to The Daily Star, she told a pal: “At times it was like Claire was in bed with us. She was always on Pete’s mind. In fact, she was there even when she wasn’t.”

It gets worse though, as Katie has blamed Claire for the breakdown of her marriage, telling the paper, “If I’m going to blame anyone for the end of my relationship, I’d lay some of the blame with Claire. We were in love but I’m a much happier person now because I’m not with any of that management team.”

Eek, do we think this will ever die down?

Jan Moir On Stephen Gately’s Death – Agree Or Disagree? October 16, 2009

Stephen Gately hasn’t been dead a week yet, but already people are huffing and puffing over the fact that his death appeared somewhat suspicious, and after Jan Moir seems to have angered half of Ireland with her article in The Daily Mail, it would be interesting to know what you think.

Twitter seems to be alive with people condemning Jan Moir’s article in The Daily Mail, as she writes; “All the official reports point to a natural death, with no suspicious circumstances. The Gately family are – perhaps understandably – keen to register their boy’s demise on the national consciousness as nothing more than a tragic accident.”

The thing is, why is it any of our business what went on during that night, we can make assumptions until the cows come home if we like, but the only people who really know what happened that night are Georgi Dochev and Andrew Cowles.

Whilst we can poke the finger at the fact that Stephen and Andrew brought a man back to their apartment, would we have been writing about the news had Stephen still been alive? Probably not, so I don’t see how this could factor into the equation at all.

After The Sun reported that Georgi’s police statement said; ”Once at the residence, they were talking and they became intimate, until 5.30am.” it would appear that the guys had come home, carried on drinking and had a good time.

Had this been a same sex ‘threesome’ would we have still been ‘shocked’? I hope not, because this is the 21st century, and if we can’t handle gay threesomes, then I am pretty sure blokes should stop fantasising about sex with two women, because isn’t that still having a ‘gay’ encounter? Or do we look over that fact?

I think the problem here is that Jan Moir used phrases such as “And I think if we are going to be honest, we would have to admit that the circumstances surrounding his death are more than a little sleazy.” and “It is not disrespectful to assume that a game of canasta with 25-year-old Georgi Dochev was not what was on the cards.”

Yet, had Jan written this article about Katie Price and her new boyfriend Alex Reid bringing another man or woman back home with then after a night out, would we have all had a laugh at Katie’s expense and slapped it across the papers the next day?

The main problem here is the way in which Jan Moir has put her opinion across, after all, we are entitled to share our opinion are we not? Good or bad, everyone has the right to say what they think. Perhaps a Daily Mail journalist should think twice before branding the dead popstar the “Posh Spice of Boyzone, a popular but largely decorous addition.” or describing him as “the group’s co-lead singer, even though he could barely carry a tune in a Louis Vuitton trunk.”

Yet, the fact that Jan points out that it does seem odd that Stephen – an otherwise healthy young man – died whilst asleep on the sofa, is something I’m not afraid to admit that I’ve found it hard to get my head around.

I mean, I just can’t believe that someone so young, could just die, just like that. And whilst we can ramble on and on about the presence of another man, the smoking of cannabis and the fact that *shock horror* he was gay; the family and the coroner have said that Stephen died of natural causes, and so we should respect his memory and let it rest. Right?

The point here is, whatever Stephen had been doing that night, it appeared to be consensual, and it is not for us to assume what went on behind closed doors, whilst we would all wish to know the truth, the family want us to believe that Stephen died from ‘natural causes’ and out of respect, shouldn’t we abide by that, regardless of what we might think?

Please share your opinions with me, I am keen to hear what you think of the Jan Moir article and whether or not you believe there to be more to the Stephen Gately story that meets the eye?
