Lisa I'Anson gets Street-Portered 2007-04-18 14:38:00 Deadline - ITV 2I facking love this show. In another pop will eat itself moment, a bunch of celebs are given a celeb mag to produce - being given away by Closer - and edited by Janet "FACK ORF" Street
-Porter. At last, the great JSP has been given the TV platform she needed to show off those coarse and verbose, gutteral pronouncements. In this clip she sacks the stroppy one. Now. Lisa I'Anson
. What is the point of this woman? She is 'friends' to everyone and more than likely a friend of no one. She's a selfish, self-obsessed conniving cow - I hold no punches here. Her passive aggressiveness is quite transparent in this clip: "Yeah darling, I agree. I thought I had changed, but..." but when none of it washes, watch her real self come out at the very end: "The rest of ya can FUCK OFF!" She's lovely she is.I love JSP's parting flea in Lisa's ear: "You are a bullshit artist, now get out of here."Cue applause.
New Unklejam vid! 2007-04-20 16:36:00 My tenth ever post way, way back on February 21st mentioned the fabulous Unklejam. I also said that What Am I Fighting For was one of my favourite tracks of theirs and, ta-dah! They must have read that post and thought, "Blimey, we'd better hurry up and get Love Ya out of the way, three weeks MAX in the charts and then shoot a vid for What Am I Fighting For and put that out as a single tout suite! Phew. So glad we saw that Worrapolava blog or we'd be right up shit creek and no mistake". Maybe.
Tit (bits) 2007-04-20 01:34:00 "D'YOU LIKE THAT, ABI?"UK readers will know the above as an oft-heard phrase in the John Leslie household, either while being shagged senseless or snorting a line. Either way, you could legitimately level it at Ms. Titmus as she is given the boot on Deadline tonight. And quite rightly so. There's only so far you can go with fluttering eyelashes and simpering smiles and NO work.True story:Abi: Oh gawd. I was in the Daily Star, the Mirror AND The Sun today! All they want are pictures of me and all I want is something to eat. I'm starving. Where can I go tonight where I won't get papped? Me: Home?Abi: Erm? What?Me: OK. There's a kebab shop in Hackney...*she walks away* SIMON COWELL HAS A FEW BOB. Word reaches us via every media source that Simon Cowell can now officially afford to buy a better life for hundreds of thousands of families. His earnings have topped £100 million ($200,287,388.39). But, like the selfish bastard he is, he's keeping it all to himself and even having a lau
This is why I heart Amy 2007-04-22 19:18:00 An edited, 'best bits' version of La Winehouse on Never Mind the Buzzcocks last year.
Amy, you got mail... 2007-04-21 18:47:00 LOVE this pic of La Winehouse: the skanky borstal tattoo, the yellow bra and the look on hers and the postman's faces as she peeps out from behind her ex-local authority flat door. My guess is that the package is a Charlotte Church promo.Whilst I'm not a fan of her musique, I love her personality and larger than life hairdon't. Even before the 'hive, when the Frank album launched her, I would avidly lap up any TV appearance, mag interview or radio gig. And still her circus keeps on going; the London papers were full of her shenanigans before and during her gig the Dublin Castle as part of the Camden Crawl.
"If you trust me. This can be the number one club in the world" 2007-04-21 16:28:00 Carmen D'Alessio said the above in an attempt to persuade Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell to back her and Uva Harden's dream of opening the now legendary Studio 54 in NYC. Margaux Hemingway, Brooke Shields, Bianca Jagger, Cher, Dians Ross, Liza Minelli, Grace Jones: the names read like a who's who of seventies disco bunnies all going wild in the coke-fuelled fun palace. Sweet and unsavoury stories abound in this great BBC Radio 2 documentary Behind the Velvet Rope: Studio 54 Uncovered narrated by Boy George. Although there is a fantastic legacy left by the club, the whole door policy; ie, the 'face fits' casting was the most unwelcome. At the time, I was 6 years old, lived in Newcastle upon Tyne and STILL they wouldn't let me in. Tsk.There are loads of other documentaries available to play while you're jumping 'round the worldwide web. Go here. From Monday, after it airs tonight, that link should also take you to the archived Morrisey doc, The Salford Lad by Stuart Maconie.And Read more:trust
Who ate all the pies? 2007-04-24 01:42:00 Milla Jovovich! And Greggs the Bakers ones at that. Honest! In a story only a PR for a northern bakery could make up, Milla confesses her "dangerous love" for a Greggs' Cheese and Onion Pasty (Corned Beef too!). I know EXACTLY where she's coming from. As someone who was weaned on these savoury delights from the Newcastle bakers, I know how a) more-ish and addictive they are - I buy 2 at a time and b) how dangerous they are - it's flavoured fat basically.This could be her actual review. But it's probably not.
Robbie's career R.I.P. 2007-04-29 20:43:00 As much as I really liked Rudebox the rest of the world hated it. So much so, the whole debacle has sounded a death knell for his career. The news that he's about to start working with 50 Cent and become his BEE-ATCH is surely the gathering of the nails for the coffin. The mono-thought, mono-tone grunt machine that is 50 Cent is a BAD CHOICE. He also shoots people. We'll never see headlines like this again. Read more:Robbie
We got wood! 2007-04-27 01:53:00 Ruby Romaine (like the lettuce) finds herself on a porn set: "What's a fluffer? Really? We used to call 'em starlets."Ruby 'Starmaker' Romaine fluffs the star!
Blog-a-rolla 2007-04-26 01:34:00 It's time to have a wander 'round the house to see what's up... A gratuitous shot of The League to tie in with one of the stories below. Don't they look very on-trend? Marv. Over on the exquisitely written, Shang-A-Lang, Bengobaz/Chelsea Kelsey is leaving Virgin Records after FIFTEEN years. It sounds like a Groundhog Day of leaving lunches with everyone wanting their piece of him. And in a weirdly parallel turn of events, his fella, Fints, is being made redundant about now but they're both really excited. I can empathise totally, I was made redundant in January (and told just before Christmas, which was nice), but I KNEW it would turn out to be a blessing in disguise: I'm now in a job with more money, less hours and less stress. How did that happen?The most unassuming 'Exclusive' ever. Chartrigger has an interview with the very grounded pop star, Dan Gillespie of The Feeling. Jason D'Luv's questions are easy-going and conversational which garner such gem-like answers as Trevo
Bring your coochie down, put your coochie up! 2007-04-26 01:12:00 Oh this BBQ clip is so ZESTY! No, this clip is BRUTI-FUL. Why-can't-my-baby-can't-get-the-dress-to-show-off-her-junk?
Boy George is gay... 2007-05-01 00:06:00 ...and he has bumsex! He sometimes pays a rentboy to come around to his flat, you know, one that *advertised* such services on Gaydar. Like the other George
, he'll always get his face in the papers with stuff like this. He courts controversy because he does controversial things. He's famous and gets horny. But what was probably a good idea on a truck full of drugs turns out to be a big old come-down the next day and a right old pain in the arse (he wishes). The press have actually been remarkably lighthearted and, dare I say it, grown up about the story. Amelle from The Sugababes (silly cow) won the column inches and the revulsion today. Auden Carlsen, the 28 year old (yeah right) prozza has made the most of it. Looking suitably sad he's milked it for all it's worth. Good luck to him, I suppose. He was probably genuinely scared (who wouldn't be - George is HUGE!) but he's also seen an opportunity for dirty cash money and grabbed it.Next time, George, when it says "Vanilla only Read more:Boy George
Hear Rufus speak! 2007-05-12 15:41:00 To take the name of the showbiz column in The Sun quite literally, how 'Bizarre' that Rufus Wainwright was on the front cover of this once homophobic rag. It was a banner ad for a huge Rufus interview inside where he said nothing new but did talk in depth about being in love WITH ANOTHER MAN. This wouldn't have happened even five years ago. Anyhoo, checking that the interview might be on The Sun website, there, better still, was a podcast. Get to it HERE. I've heard Rufus speak
before, but as it was on TV in the excellent South Bank Show doc, there were visuals to distract. Hearing Rufus talk in your headphones is very different; it attunes you to just how camp he is! I love it! Kiki: the original cabaret terroristIn fact, at times, I thought he sounded a lot like Kiki from Kiki & Herb. His friend, Justin Bond's Martini-soaked lounge singer character comes to mind at about 3:39 with a slurry piece about taking long walks in the park with his boyfriend and other rrrrealllly, rrrr
So it's been a mad old week... 2007-05-12 15:26:00 ...which explains the Paris post below. I'm probably a little over-sensitive so to see La Hilton crying all over the shop for being sent to jail like a NORMAL person would, really gets my goat. Let me tells ya! The only good thing to come out of Paris Hilton is Perez...
Judy Finnegan begin again - somewhere far away please. Ta. 2007-05-14 23:21:00 So it'll be a sad adieu with much weeping and wailing in the great British press for the grand saggy old clothbag of British daytime TV, Judy Finnegan, who won't be signing another contract with Channel 4, but instead, will hitch up her skirts and toddle off to TV heaven. Or hell. Nice. She's 59 now and is counting the days for her sixtieth birthday as the excuse she's needed to give it all up. She hasn't looked comfortable on TV for the past 10 years. And gawd knows it's been even more uncomfortable watching her: the dubious *cough-alky* shakes, the forgetting where she is mid-sentence, the twee home-spun questions and the National TV awards blooper of all bloopers when her elasticated top fell down to reveal a massive chewing-gum white bra and nana tits to 12 million viewers. And she DIDN'T NOTICE - funnily enough, said clip is nowhere to be found!Tot. Ally. Obliv. Ious.But then, it must be hard being Richard&Judy. And how draining must it be to put up with the over-grown pup, Read more:begin
"How very dare you!" 2007-05-19 15:36:00 There's been a nasty stench of homophobia in Poland for a while now due to this man, Lech Kaczynski (pictured below). As the President of Poland he still continues to back homophobic groups and legislation and all of this in spite of contravening rulings made by European Court of Human Rights. It really is shocking to have an EC member country continually attacking gay men and women and worse still, from the country's LEADER. Can you ever imagine Tony Blair saying about talks with Gay Pride organisers, "I am not willing to meet with peverts" or, on a state visit to Ireland pronounce that, "The human race would disappear if homosexuality was freely promoted". Let's look at this little tit of a man shall we? Although he is married, his identical twin, the Prime Minister, Jaroslav isn't and still lives at home with his mum. After German newspaper picked up on this fact in a satirical article, Jaroslav declared "an insult to a head of state is a crime and there must be consequences."
Hurry up, already! 2007-05-23 13:23:00 Yawn. Teetering on the edge of the closet, waiting to admit SOMETHING we've all known for years, Kevin Spacey is still living his life like it's 1992 or something. It's not like it's hard these days. Oo-er. There you go! It was easy peasy! Have a quiet word with Cruise and Travolta, won't you. Read more:Hurry
C30, C60, C90 GONE! 2007-05-22 17:52:00 I was never taken with cassettes. The sound was so muffled, like the band were all under a big duvet. They were such a polava! If all you wanted to hear was the chorus on track 3, side B, you had to take the tape out, read the label, put it back in and guess-timate where you wanted to be. RUBBISH! The ad above WAS ALL LIES! And how many tapes were gobbled up and spewed out by crappy Bush or Sanyo systems... Curry's are another chain officially chucking the cassette. Bauhaus's Pete Murphy kissed his TV ad repeat fees off a long time ago.
OMG. Here we go again. 2007-05-22 13:11:00 Here's the diary room door for the freak show that is (from May 30th - gawd, that's come around quick!) Big Brother 8. Apparently a whole corridor lights up whenever the door is unlocked. Er. Wow. Digital Spy has been given unique access to the new house (some jpgs were emailed) where the spanking new design is themed "modernistic sur-reality". In other words, some nice things cobbled together from a trip down Tottenham Court Rd taking in Habitat, Heal's and Purves & Purves. Cargo and The Pier don't even get a look in!Echo-ey track of past contestants "Spunk! Wank! Jizz!"... "Who IS she!"...
