X Factor: Olly Murs Loses His Virginity Like Michael Jackson And Feels For Stacey Solomon
IN this week’s heat magazine, you can meet the “REAL OLLY MURS”. Well, not really. You can meet X Factor contestant Olly Murs’ twin bother, Ben Murs.
Had Ben and Olly teamed up sing as a double act on the X Factor they’d have been Bolly. Ben would have got the first letter but Olly would have seen his entire name used in band’s tabloid name. Like Edward, of Jedward, Olly would have been the substance.
Ben tells us that Olly was “very sweet”, “placid”, “shy” and “caring”. He “didn’t lose his virginity until he was 18”.
Caring Ben than says that his brother is – get this - “very private”, was “devastated” when his girlfriend and he parted. And then we get the best part about how Ben and Olly are different:
“I was thinking that the other day. You know, like Michael Jackson used to be very different off screen, but when he was on stage it was like, ‘I’m here. This is what I can do.’ Olly’s exactly like that.”

American Music Awards: Jennifer Lopez Falls Back On Her Talent, Video
THE American Music Awards is not a folk music AGM, but yet another chance of established acts to remind the TV watching public that they are a) alive, b) working and c) looking the same as they did ten years ago, perhaps younger.
Janet Jackson lip-synced, American Idol products Carrie Underwood and Adam Lambert shouted and Keith Urban, woman an award for – no faint praise here - “Best Country Male”.
Alicia Keys sang, Jay-Z did safe rapped, Eminem and 50 Cent did sweary rap, The Black Eyed Peas sang four different songs at the same time and Lady Gaga survived smashing her way through some glass to reach her piano.

Music In The Decade Of X Factor, American Idol, Jay Z, Michael Jackson And Amy Winehouse.
The decade was shaped by the arrival of popstar parvenus, those not genuine popstars who had crooned someone else’s song on The X Factor, Fame Academy, American Idol, Pop Idol or Fame Academy. There were authentic pop stars, like Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty, the former who could sing and both who could live the live of excess. Eminem rocked, Britney Spears melted, Jay Z grew the brand and we wept for George Harrison, Diana and another Live Aid. And Michael Jackson died. In pictures:

Move Like Michael Jackson: A BBC TV Talent Show
BBC Three might well be less alive than Michael Jackson, the man it seeks to laud with a new six-part dance series called Move Like Michael Jackson.
This is great news for dads at discos and weddings who can now lie prone on the floor and claim to be moving like Michael Jackson.
It turns out that the show is not a séance hosted by Derek Acorah wired to a car battery, ready to channel Jacko’s dance at the turn of a key but a thing so wonder hosted by Radio 1’s Reggie Yates.

Michael Jackson: Even Chandler Dies And Jordan Chandler’s Testimony Resurfaces
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: Evan Chandler, father to Jordy Chandler, has killed himself.
The news round-up:
Daily Mail (front page): “Father of Jacko sex scandal boy kills himself”
As obituaries go, that’s not the most benign. Any facts?
I won’t confirm or deny anything,’ said Chandler’s brother, Raymond, a California lawyer.
Daily Mirror: “JACKO SEX CASE DAD IN SUICIDE”
Can a man’s suicide become a mystery?
The Sun: “Jordy’s dad dies in bed with a gunshot wound to his head”
The Sun’s circumspect headline – was he murdered? – is followed by:
“JORDY Chandler’s dad was last night revealed to have killed himself - just five months after the death of his son’s alleged sex abuser Michael Jackson.”
Although:
Mr Chandler’s suicide - on November 5 but which only emerged last night - was being probed by baffled cops.
If it’s definitely suicide why are the police baffled?
The 65-year-old - whose son was 13 when he claimed in the early 1990s that Jacko molested him - left no note. Jordy, now 29, was given a payoff worth millions by the King of Pop to prevent his allegations emerging in court.
Jackson left notes – Post Its all over his bathroom and face. He died a pretty nomal death for man who lived such an odd life. But the talk is of homicide. Can the death of Evan Chandler be bled into the conspiracy?
Police confirmed: “We have ruled it as suicide because he was found with a gun held to his body. He had a single bullet wound to the side of his head. There was no note but officers did find medication in keeping with a serious medical condition.”

What It Cost To Bury Michael Jackson, In Numbers
MICHAEL Jackson is dead. He is still speaking on the telly. But he remains largely dead. We who saw the funeral know that he is dead.
Anorak’s Man in the Morgue has been looking through the family’s itemized list of expenses for Michael Jackson’s private, invitation-only funeral at Forest Lawn Glendale, and he’s impressed.
LIKE that pair of tacky pictures of Jackson positioned on either end of the casket… $3,682.66… and it’s not even a flattering portrait.
Michael’s “burial garments?” They cost $35,000.

X Factor: How to Date Olly Murs, Hate Danyl Johnson And Daniel Lloyd Gets Wood
ALL the UK mags want to be home of the X Factor, to become the official organ that fans will reach for to read about their fave show’s wannabes, stars and judges. This week’s Heat mag, makes its play, leading with “JEDMANIA”, a tribute to John and Edward Grimes, the X Factor’s answer to America Idol’s Sanjaya Malakar.
For those of you not au fait with Mr Malakar, he was the non-singing, non dancing performer whose hair styles and uselessness kept him on the show week after week. He only failed when all the other acts copied his moves and style and he ended up looking cocky.

Muhammed The Movie: The Gays Die, A Saturday Morning Cartoon And John Travolta Stars
ISLAM’S Prophet Muhammad is to star in film by Barrie Osborne, producer of The Matrix and The Lord of The Rings.
Don’t Call Me Mo will be an “international epic” aimed at “bridging cultures“. It will also make, we imagine, “loadsa money”, be a “monster smash” and cross over into merchandise with “mountains” pendants, mugs and a Saturday morning cartoon.
The BBC says that Islamic laws states that The Prophet cannot be depicted on screen, doing so is blasphemous. This might create a problem as the star of the show is not seen. Although Osborne did work on Face Off, so maybe the Prophet’s face can be portrayed by John Travolta, Nicholas Cage and pretty much anyone else who might not look like he did. If Michael Jackson can do it…
Says Osborne:
“The film will educate people about the true meaning of Islam.”

Joe Jackson Measures Michael Jackson’s Death in Dollars
THE New York Post hears Papa Joe Jackson say that his boy Michael Jackson is worth more dead than alive. Them’s the facts:
Michael Jackson’s dad thinks the singer is “worth more dead than when he was alive.” Joe Jackson, 80, let that slip last night in an interview on the syndicated TV show “Extra.” Jackson — decked out in creepy sunglasses and a blinged-out, black, chalk-stripe suit — quickly recognized his gaffe and blurted out, “I’d rather have him alive.”
Extra TV is less attacking:
As Michael’s movie “This Is It” rakes in $2.2 million in the box office, Joe adds, “When he was living, they didn’t show this.”

X Factor: Cheryl Cole’s Sauna, Dannii Minogue’s Playboy Photos And Stacey Solomon’s Police Escort
X FACTOR Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at the X Factor in the news: Cheryl Cole’s mirrored sauna, Dannii Minogue’s Playboy gift, Stacey Solomon’s police escort, Dizzee Rascal and bring back Top of the Pops…
More magazine: “Cheryl Cole : My ‘nemesis’ will get me”
“Looking into her crystal ball of pop she says: ‘My job is make-believe and at the end of the make-believe I’ll always have family. So if I’m blessed, touch wood, I’d love a big family.’”
Cheryl Cole is just over 5ft tall; her husband Ashley Cole is “small”.
Daily Express: “CHERYL’S SECRET POOL PLAN IS SUNK”
CHERYL COLE has lost a battle to build a hidden swimming pool to protect her from Peeping Toms. The X Factor judge wanted an underground gym and pool at her £3.5million home to save her being ogled by photographers and fans.
It’s curtains for Cheryl’s dreams of privacy.
Cheryl and her husband, Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole, are now expected to build the gym and pool – complete with sauna, spa, steam room and bar – above ground in the 12 acres around their home.

Jedward: In Interview John & Edward Grimes Are As Naked As The Day They Were Born
X Factor Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at the X Factor in the news: How John & Edward Grimes – aka Jedward – threaten world peace, kill the show, put on a show and are naked as the day they wer born.
Daily Star (front page): “X FACTOR BRATS: WE’LL WIN”
X FACTOR is in a deep crisis because both the tone-deaf Grimes twins and the bookies believe they are sure to win. It is a hammer blow to telly guru Simon Cowell, who fears teenagers John and Edward could kill off the show.
Like Steve Brookstein did. Like Alexandra Burke did. Like Shayne Ward did. Like Leon Jackson did. They are all past winners of the TV talent show that cannot be killed by conventional karaoke singers. But what say the twins?
John: Every week the judges give their acts a song. We always take it on board and work the hardest to get it in tip-top shape. But the other acts, they kind of go: ‘Oh, that’s not our style…’ We go with what we’re given, even songs we don’t even know. We’d never heard of She Bangs and had to learn the words and a dance routine last week.
The dance routine was learnt by watching a fly after a left wing and right leg had been broken. As for the filthy lyrics:
Talk to me
Tell me your name
You blow me off like it’s all the same
Edward: “We don’t just stay in our comfort zone. We go that extra bit further than we have to.”
John & Edward’s comfort zone is as a novelty key ring in a packet of Skittles.

This Isn’t It: Michael Jackson Conspiracy Theorists Hijack Film Premier, In Pictures
MICHAEL Jackson’s film, This Is It, hits the movie screens.
In 16 cities around the world, the film of outtakes, retakes and on-the-takes plays on.
You can read what Liz Taylor thinks of it here, and what Peter Andre thinks of it here. America has Liz Taylor. The UK has Peter Andre, and he had to be imported.
Not everywhere is the film a big deal. But our snappers were in LA and London. And this is what they saw (there’s a film in this). Look out for:
London: Randy Jackson, Tito Jackson and Marlon Jackson (which si which), George Sampson, Abby Clancy, Harry Connick Junior (you’ve seen this, right?), a Chipmunk and two looka-likes.
LA: Ian Ziering’s teeth, Will Smith’s knits, Jennifer Lopez (allegdly), Paula Abdul’s New Age dress and Paris Hilton.

Peter Andre Tweets The Ultimate Michael Jackson Film Review
SENTIMETNAL Peter Andre has taken his dignity to see the Michael Jackson film. Eat your heart out, Elizabeth Taylor. This is golden.
After the film, Peter the Dignified gets to thinking. And her gets to tweeting:
Michael is a genius.An utter genius.However, would he of wanted this movie to go out? not sure.Wish they showed his life not just rehearsals
And there you have the most ironic-laden tweet ever. Peter Andre, who has made a carer from going to Ikea, scoring points over his ex-wife and kissing his kids on the telly thinks a pop star did not want only his behind-the-scenes life to be aired.

Elizabeth Taylor Reads Extracts From The Michael Jackson Film Sequel
ANYONE unsure what to make of the Michael Jackson necrophilia film in which the show goes on even after the star has died can be assured that Elizabeth Taylor likes it. A lot.
The new Michael Jackson film has been hailed as success. There are rumour of a franchise, with different signers and actors playing Jackson, who thanks to his moving target of a face can be portrayed by just about anyone and the contents of stationery cupboard. It’s Dr Who meets James Bond in a pip-squeezing factory.

X Factor: John and Edward Grimes Lure Paedophiles And Topless Teenage Girls To Hampstead
TO the leafy environs of Hampstead, where paedophiles are threatening the X Factor contestants and their young screaming fans. The Sun says that the fans are engaging in “lewd acts”.
The Sun does as any responsible organ should and dispatches two writers and a photographer to the scene post haste.
Police were called after teenage girls flashed their BOOBS at John and Edward Grimes - who responded by grabbing their CROTCHES in a Michael Jackson-style jokey dance.
John and Edward grabbed their own crotches, a habit you may imagine they have performed before, perhaps many, many times. The teenage girls’ crotches remained unmolested. For now.
Concerned local Alexander Netsler said yesterday: “I saw a girl who must have only been about 14 lifting up her top to flash at the twins. I had to look away. With all these young girls about it is attracting dirty old men to come and stare at them.”
