The Jon Gosselin Sex Tape Is A Thing Of Beauty
REALITY TV show dross Jon Gosselin - he of the 8 as-seen-on-teevee children (think Mel Gibson with more self-esteem) - has a sex tape out there somewhere, says the National Enquierer. Everyone needs a celebrity sex tape. You probably have one in which you’re shagging Russell Brand or an Oompa Loompa.
Anorak’s Man in LA tells us:
Now before you start pooh-poohing the source, remember that the Enquirer been the leaders when it comes to coverage of some pretty major scandals. John Edwards and his mistress come to mind.

BNP Leader Nick Griffin On Question Time: Oddballs, Exposure And A Riot
NICK Griffin, monocular leader of the BNP, is to appear on BBC’s Question Time politics show. You can read what we think of it here and here. But what says the media? What says the media about the BBC’s decision to make its moribund TV show interesting?
The front pages:
“Why even the BNP leader’s wife thinks he is a weirdo” – Mail
“BBC chief: We were right to allow BNP on Question Time” – Guardian
“BNP: Thank you auntie for giving us such a boost” – The Times
“Riot fear over BNP talk show” – Daily Star
Nick Griffin The Man
Daily Mail, Dominic Carman: “DOMINIC CARMAN: A deeply disturbing encounter with the BNP’s Nick Griffin - and the wife who thinks he’s an oddball”
Jackie [Griffin's wife] pulls no punches when it comes to her husband. The former district nurse later revealed some extraordinary home truths about the couple’s marriage.
“My mother thinks he could do with a damned good slap,’ she confided in me, adding: ‘Nick’s parents taught him that the sun rose and set in his a***. He never had to do anything at home and was told he was always right, he can do everything and he’s wonderful.”
They first met in Suffolk in 1978: she was 15, he was 19 and friends with her sister’s boyfriend.
“Nick was an oddball, never part of the gang,” she says.
Sing along: Nick Griffin is only one oddball, the other is in the…
After graduating in 1980, Griffin worked full time for the National Front.
“I thought he would grow out of it,” says Jackie. “I was earning money, he wasn’t - what a fool I was.”
The couple married in 1985. Joe Pearce, best man at their wedding, was imprisoned twice for inciting race hatred. The Griffins lived on state benefits for more than a year.
“I worked my a*** off trying to keep us going,’ Jackie moaned. “I’ve been… working to keep us going financially and bring up four children while he’s spent his time playing at stupid politics. To Nick, it’s all a game.’
Meanwhile, In Scotland…
The Herald: “BBC ‘bent over backwards’ to accommodate BNP leader”
Mike Russell, the Scottish Culture Minister, said of the decision to invite MEP Nick Griffin, the BNP leader, on to the flagship show tonight: “BBC managers in London must explain why they are bending over backwards to accommodate this overtly racist party, which has absolutely no standing north of the Border.”

BNP Leader Nick Griffin Lampoons Himself
NICK Griffin , of the BNP, has not even taken the stand at the BBC’s Question Time and he is already losing his thread. Following the shocking news that war is not a place for extremists, Griffin of the cartoon tells us:
“Those Tory generals who today attacked the British National Party should remember that at the Nuremburg Trials, the politicians and generals accused of waging illegal aggressive wars were all charged — and hanged — together.
“Sir Richard and Sir Mike fall squarely into this bracket, and they must not think that they will escape culpability for pursuing the illegal wars in Iran and Afghanistan… These two gentlemen are Tories who have seen the traditional Conservative vote in the army, from private level up to senior officers, dissolve away and turn into BNP votes”.

The BBC’s Question Time Makes BNP Leader Nick Griffin A Celebrity
HAVING invited BNP leader Nick Griffin to the big Question Time debate, the BBC has achieved its intended goal of getting the media to talk about its show.
Maybe if Question Time can develop its policy of featuring leaders of actual political parties, however odious they are, there will be no need to hire celebrities to sell politics to a slack-jawed audience.
Today’s update comes from former Army generals have written a letter warning that political extremists had no right to share the Armed Forces’ proud reputation.
War is no place for extremists!
The open letter is signed by former heads of the Army, General Sir Mike Jackson and General Sir Richard Dannatt. As Sky News notes:
The move follows the British National Party’s (BNP) tactic of using images of Winston Churchill and wartime insignia during recent European election campaigns.
Remember that picture of the Spitfire? As Anorak noted at the time:
“Battle for Britain,” bellows the legend. That’s a Spitfire soaring thought the skies, strafing the fascist scum. Hurrah! It’s a Romeo Foxtrot Delta Plane, as flown by Polish pilots in the great fight. Poles of the famous 303 Squadron of the RAF – the group made up of Polish airmen. The Kościuszko squadron that claimed 126 enemy kills (fascists) more than any other unit during the Battle of Britain.
Who says the BNP is not inclusive, it having embraced a Jewish hippy, a far-right American nutter, climate sceptics, anti-fascist fascists, a desk off a corridor in Brussels, break dancers, coppers, Poles, the kids and fools.
The top brass’s letter to the Times goes thus:
“The BNP is claiming that it has a better relationship with the Armed Forces than other political parties. How dare they use the image of the Army, in particular, to promote their policies. These people are beyond the pale.“
Beyond the pale? An unfortunate choice of words, or may an attempt at a pun.
But if the BNP can be easily undone, it is with humour and ridicule. Treat them with the contempt you usually reserve for Labour and the Tories.

Boyzone Give Stephen Gately A Dignity The Media Cannot Handle
STEPHEN Gately is not long dead. The Daily Mail has led the tabloids’ charge to bury him not praise him, peppering a report of the former Boyzone singers early demise with suicide, drugs, depression, domestic violence and his sexuality.
Today the post-mortem will discover if Gately died from being gay, Irish, or whatever else pushed him to the margins of what Mail readers would term ‘decent society’.
Police in Majorca says there were “no signs of suspicious circumstances”.
Which brings us to the Sun’s front-page headline:
“I FOUND STEPHEN PALE AND COLD.”
Well, he can’t get on with everybody, nor be orangey-brown as the Simon Cowell pop factory paints its uniform acts.
It’s turns out that a Georgi Dochev says Gately was pale and cold when he had died. The singer was “very cold and white“.
As front page shockers go, news that a dead body was cold is right up with news that Katie Price sleeps on her back, the Pope has a balcony and the BNP is not keen on immigrants.
But here’s Dochev to deliver his “I was there” moment:
“I almost have not slept since this happened. I found Stephen dead and I woke his husband. I am still nervous and really upset.”
He tells the Sun. As for the background story:
Mr Dochev is believed to have accompanied Gately and his partner, Andrew Cowles, back to the apartment in the resort of Port Andratx in the early hours of Saturday. He confirmed he had spoken to police who are investigating the death.
The tabloids chip away. But there appears to be a quiet dignity surrounding Gately’s death. His former Boyzone bandmates Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch flew out to the scene to pay their respects.
A spokesman tells us:
“All the boys are home now. They went there to pay their respects and start dealing with the fall-out of the situation. However, it’s clear that them being there at the moment is bringing a lot more attention to the situation.”
So they left. They did not announce a comeback your, call for an urgent investigation, speculate on Gately’s state of mind, talk to the media nor grandstand and make themselves the centre of attention. They came. They saw. They left.
It’s more than the media can handle…

Russell Brand Appears On Question Time To Debate Ashley Cole, Nick Griffin And The BNP
How Russell Brand skewered the BNP’s Nazi Boy as the Dail Mail kicks the BBC, and Question Time invites Nick Griffin to the debate…
THE Daily Mail rarely misses a chance to wallop the BBC, and today delivers the news that two BNP Herrenvolk have created a “BBC storm” as they are “invited on Radio 1 to insult Ashley Cole”.
Overlooking the obvious reaction that an invitation to insult Ashley Cole is not needed, and that black, white, Nazi or Commie, we can all unite behind a common cause, we read on:
This is the BBC’s own full transcript of the Newsbeat interview:
Randle: Do you think it’s OK for people who aren’t white in this country to call themselves British?
Joey: Civic-ly British they are. You cannot say they are ethnically British. It’s denying our heritage. It’s taking that away from us.
Randle: At what point do they become ethnically British? How long do they have to be here?
Joey: Well, I think it would be an awfully long time before someone would become ethnically British.
Randle: So when you see someone like Ashley Cole play for England, are you happy to watch him?
Joey: If he wants to come to this country and he wants to live by our laws, pay into society, that’s fine.
Randle: But if he wanted to call himself British that would be a problem?
Joey: He cannot say that he’s ethnically British.
The Mail on Sunday has discovered the full background of the two ‘young BNP supporters’ identified by the BBC only as Joey, 24, and 28-year-old Mark.

Leigh Lezark Plays Trains With Russell Brand And Katy Perry
IT says here that Leigh Lezark is an American DJ and model. She also looks like a young Jodie Foster with a brunette blackberry rinse.
We bring you this potted biography because after a little research we managed to discover the identity of this woman sat next to Russell Brand and Katy Perry at the John Galliano Spring-Summer 2010 ready-to-wear collection show in Paris, France. The woman who looks as if she’d rather be anywhere else than sat next to them.
During New York Fashion Week, Lindsay Lohan rearranged the seating at a show, “pulling out cards reserving places for other guests, including Juliette Lewis and Taylor Momsen, and throwing them to the floor.”
Until then it had never occurred to us that attending a fashion show was not enough unlike boarding the 16:45 from Paddington to Bristol in less comfy shoes. You arrive early, fight your ways past the hefty security, who demand to see your passes at least twice, and run for a seat, edging your way down thin catwalk-like aisles that anyone over a size 12 will get stuck in. You then look for a seat and discover that lots of them are decorated with little reservation cards. You sit down and then, having settled in and moved off, hear a voice with a sense of entitlement Princess Michael would consider excessive telling you that they reserved the seat you are sat in and you need to move.
Bravo for Lohan. Better if she removed the chairs as well to make us truly empathise.
So here’s Leigh Lezark, her joy at just getting a seat tempered by the realisation that she is seated beside Brand and Perry and forced to endure their canoodling at close quarters…

Before The Sarah Silverman Sex Tape, A Look At David Letterman’s Extortion
DAVID Letterman has moved on from fantasizing about Sarah Palin’s underage daughter being raped to a story of his alleged dalliances with members of his staff. Says our man in LA:
First Conan O’Brien winds up hospitalized with a concussion after hitting his head during a silly stunt on his show, then comes word that someone’s about to release a sex tape that Jimmy Kimmel made with Sarah Silverman, and now David Letterman says his sexual affairs with members of his staff led to an extortion attempt. Not a good week for the white guys of late night television.
We’d guess Jay Leno is sitting pretty right about now.

X Factor: Kandy Rain’s Playboy Pictures For A Family Audience
IN other X-Factor news, the Mirror uses its front page to tell of:
“X-Rated – new nude video could see pop hopeful booted off show.”
It’s Kandy Rain the four former lap-dancers, featuring Vicky Lloyd, who performs under the name Coco, and has, reportedly, starred in a couple of straight-to-tissues videos.
This was also news back in August, when the Sun told us:

Bill Clinton’s Aural Histories: Boris Yeltsin Hailing A Taxi In His Underwear
BILL Clinton gave Taylor Branch, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and civil rights historian, 79 oral history interviews. Those interviews now form part of a book.
Bill Clinton was reluctant to speak of Monica Lewinsky. Although Clinton told Branch the Lewinsky affair began because “I cracked; I just cracked“. Brand says he “lapsed”.
And then not without humour, perhaps, Branch tells us:
“He said he could have done worse. He could have blown something up.”

Katie Price Kidnapped On Twitter And Peter Andre Does Stand Up
KATIE Price and Peter Andre Divorce - Katie Price kidnap terror, Peter Andre is a comedy genius, Jordan is dead and Katie beats Peter in Twitter poll…
Last night sentimental Peter Andre appeared on ITV2 in Peter Andre: Going It Alone and showed us that he is almost never alone. Peter spent most of the show touching his face, hugging anyone with reach, finding his niche in the Ikea bedding department and looking like an ambulatory bereavement card.
So alone is Pete that he spent only marginally more time on camera than his manager Claire Powell, who affected an air of a middle aged Claire Rayner, the media’s former favourite agony aunt, albeit less likeable, informed, interesting and charming.

Russell Brand’s Twisted Knickers
RUSSELL Brand is currently in New York. And the Sun spots him entering the city’s Agent Provocateur knicker and snicker emporium.
Anorak was sent the pictures of this event, which we bring to you in a gallery hereunder. And on them we saw a man in a shop; a man leaving a shop; a shop assistant leaving shop holding what appears to be the man’s receipt.
No news here. Move on. Only the Sun’s Gordon Smart (a product of anti-nominative determinism) has space to fill.

Jack Tweed Weeps For ‘Sick And Dirty’ Sex With Lisa O’Connor
JACK Tweed, Mr Jade Goody, continues his mission to become a bona fide celebrity by telling New! magazine readers of his sex with a glamour model.
Readers don’t hear how often Jack did it, just that Jack felt “sick and dirty” - which might be a sign that it was great sex.
The mo-del, one Lisa O’Connor, 21, recently sold her story News Of The World, offering:
“I was walking through the club, minding my own business, when Jack stood in my way to stop me. He didn’t mean anything malicious, but he was definitely trying it on. I think that was his way of flirting - but he’s just not very good at it.”
Which is why before the night was out he had penetrated her.

Big Brother: Kris Donnelly’s Sophie Reade Romance
IN heat (hate) magazine, Big Brother agonist Kris Donnelly’s best friend says that the watery Russell Brand wannabe’s stroking of Sophie Reade’s arms is “NOT A PROPER RELATIONSHIP”.
Andrew Jones, for it is he, says:
“I think Kris is lonely and likes her company.”
Insightful. Go on:
“I don’t think it’s anything more than that. It’s not a proper relationship. He’s just getting to know her – it’s a holiday romance.”
All very telling stuff. And only added to when Andrew says that Kris does not go for “glamour models”.

WITH nothing to reports from the Big Brother houzzzzz, the News of the World continues it serialisation of Kris Donnelly’s sex life.
In “SEX mad Kris Donnelly has a head for figures”, “blonde” Cheryl Hosking says “he was busy totting up where she came on his list of conquests.”
One may suggest other reasons for Kris’s counting as he squires Hosking, some of which may explain why he has so many women and feels less inclined to repeat his one minute and 40 seconds of passion.
Last night his ex lover revealed: “I couldn’t believe he’d been doing arithmetic in his head.”
