Robbie Williams Empties His Nuts In Esquire: Take That Singer Breeds Semen Monkeys
ROBBIE Williams says that – yes! – he does inject himself with a sex hormone. And – yes! – he does do this twice week.
We’d always believed Williams injected himself with a blend of ascorbic acid, Vimto and liquidised pork liver sausages. But the Sun says it IS a sex hormone.
Gordon Smart reads Williams’ interview with Esquire magazine and tells us on the Sun’s front page:
The TAKE THAT star, 37, said he uses testosterone jabs to fight crippling lethargy. He added: “It has changed my life. I feel I’m getting a second wind.”

Rihanna Shoots A Rapist Dead
POP music has always traded on sex and shock to shift units. Elvis Presley used to gyrate like a man in the bath with a two-bar heater and Madonna made a whole book dedicated to making sheltered people gasp in astonishment (the rest of us were just sickened at the appearance of a shirtless Vanilla Ice).
And so, it isn’t really surprising when a new pop-star comes along and starts talking about taboo things. And, lately, Rihanna has been ramping things up. She made a record called S&M, which saw her talking about how much whips and chains excited her… and now she’s going to kill a rapist on our televisions.

Teen Singing ‘Throb, Sean Kingston, Critical After Tackling Bridge On Jetski With Head
ADULTS may not be familiar with the name Sean Kingston, but the rampant childbots of the internet are. They love him. They love him a bit like they love Justin Bieber, but not as much because Bieber is much thinner and whiter than Sean Kingston.
Either way, he capture the hearts of youngsters with his hit, ‘Beautiful Girls’, where the junior crooner declared that they made him feel “suicidal“, which is peculiar for a young man with all that life of beautiful girls ahead of him.
However, here comes the awkward twist. See, Kingston is in a critical condition after crashing his jet ski into a Miami Beach bridge. Sean and a female passenger were injured when they careered into the Palm Island Bridge over the weekend.

Amy Winehouse Goes Back To Rehab – Again
REMEMBER the days when Amy Winehouse was famous for being a reasonably exciting singer? Alas, since then, she’s disappeared down a booze hole, leaving her career wide open for lesser acts to cash-in on. We’re looking at you Paloma Faith. And you Adele.
Yep, Winehouse only ever appears on the radar when she’s fallen over after a skinful or, briefly, re-emerged with some hilarious new breasts that looked like floating liquid in a space shuttle.
And now she’s in the news again and, predictably, it isn’t with talk of a new record, but rather, she’s off to rehab again.

Courtney Love Slags Lady GaGa Without A Trace Of Irony
SOME of you might think that Courtney Love is in no position to slate anyone else for anything, ever. And you’d be right because, of all the people in the celebsphere, she’s one of the most grotesque and worrying.
Shall we weigh it all up? She’s famous for being a strung-out heroin addict who had her baby taken off her. She’s a woman who has one of the most unusual faces on Earth thanks to getting plastic surgery from someone we can assume has Parkinson’s Disease. She’s taken to ranting garbled messages on Twitter, some of which attack her only daughter. She’s demented enough to have shagged Michael Stipe. She’s posted pictures of herself online with no clothes on, only to foam at the baps about how there’s some kind of conspiracy against her.

The People Of Walmart Theme Song: Mr Ghetto Fetches The Mop

Mr. Ghetto brings your shopping trolly sex with a space hopper bounce.

Justin Bieber Makes Terrifying Pest Perfume
JUSTIN Bieber may well be a matter of seconds old, but that doesn’t stop him from creaming every last penny out of the world’s prepubescent girls.
He’s launched a range of nail varnish as well as a singing toothbrush and, now, he’s behind a girl’s perfume that encourages the cell-sized singer to creep into your room like Dracula with an annoying fringe, only to sniff your neck and fly away like some perverted Peter Pan.

Jedward To Team Up With Aerosmith, Which Is Completely Fine
JEDWARD are in grave danger of having their credibility ruined by teaming up with ageing rock testicles, Aerosmith. Well kinda. Not the whole of Aerosmith, but mainman, Steven Tyler, who is currently sat at home ironing his face in a trouser press.
Dr Seuss’ Thing A and Thing B come to life Jedward may be, but they’re putting all that Eurovision Song Contest thing behind them (unlike Blue who will be self-harming over the whole thing for decades yet) by looking forward to a duet with one of rock’s most unwilling to disappear.
It appears that the leaping twins of doom will be teaming up with withered balloon animal of RAWK to record a new version of Aerosmith’s Walk This Way, which no-one wanted or asked for.

Quite Obvious Former Smackhead, Bob Dylan, Admits He Used To Take Heroin
TAKE one look at Bob Dylan – who just happens to be celebrating his 70th birthday tomorrow, despite looking and sounding like a 70 year old since around 1964 – and you think, there’s a man who used to like bags of heroin disappearing up his puny arms.
Even the photographs of him in his youth look like he was a smackhead. Of course he was! Just about every singer in the ’60s and ’70s was strung out on the horse at some point!

English Demand Independence For Scotland At The Scottish Pipe Band Championships
IN today’s Independence For Scotland campaign, the English Independent Party sends us photos of the Scottish Pipe Band Championships in Dumbarton. Says on experts:
“If it wasn’t for the bagpipes, Scotland never would have been conquered. It was the Englishmen’s grim determination to shut the blasted things up that led to so much ferocity in battle and, ultimately, the creation of Tony Blair.”

Snoop Dogg Wants Hip Hop X Factor
WHILE The X Factor appears to be set to take over the world, everyone else looks on wondering if they should cut their ears off with shears or, indeed, invent their own version which speaks to them instead of putting up with the histrionics of wannabes yet to learn subtlety.
And with that, Snoop Dogg wants to do a rap take on the successful franchise.

There’s Nothing Cynical About JLS Wanting To Collaborate With Gwyneth Paltrow
BACKFLIPPING saccharine irritants and tepid pop dispensers, JLS, want to collaborate with Gwyneth Paltrow. Why? It might have something to do with the fact that she’s very famous, recently decided to become a singer, appeared warbling on an award ceremony with Cee Lo Green, married to insipid Coldplayer Chris Martin and is the talk of Tinseltown thanks to an appearance on TV smash, Glee.
Nothing cynical about that then.

The Beatles’ Strawberry Fields Gates For Sale?
THE gates at Liverpool’s Strawberry Fields have gone. The gates of the park immortalised in The Beatles hit have been removed. No, readers, it’s not theft. Chances are, though, that the 100-year-old gates will be sold legitimately to make some cash for the The Salvation Army that owns the place.
The new gates have been hand-crafted by Jim Bennett and gifted to the charity. So, any Beatles fans with a marker pen now has a blank canvas…

Whitney Houston Totters Off To Rehab While Prince Scowls At Her
GLASSY-EYED pop diva, Whitney Houston, is not having a good time of it at the moment. Or rather, perhaps she’s having too much of a good time and it has started to rot her brains and liver.
You see, the Bodyguard singer has had to return to rehab because she (allegedly) likes taking too many drugs and wolfing down too much booze.

The Dusty Springfield Memorial: Featuring The Robin Gibb Celebrity Funeral Service
TO the unveiling of the blue plaque in Aubrey Walk, Kensington, that honours singer Dusty Springfield. And who but Bee Gee Robin Gibb was there to do the honours?
Last week we saw Gibb at the unveiling of the statue to Bomber Command. Today, he’s there to open another memorial. Is he for hire? Does he also attend the planting of headstones for the less famous?

Blake Sheldon Totally Doesn’t Hate The Gays
COUNTRY superstar, Blake Sheldon, has been accused of being a stinkin’ homophobe. Of course, what with him being a country and western singer, roughly 99.7% won’t be at all surprised at the notion of a God fearing dust bowl balladeer not being too fond of the gays.
However, Blake Sheldon is a modern, groovy kinda Stetson wearer and everyone has got him all wrong.
See, Sheldon is still taking his spurred boots from his mouth after he reworked some of Shania Twain’s lyrics on twitter, leaving “The Voice” coach apologising so frequently that he’s begun to look insincere.

Lady GaGa Bans Ice Cubes And Eats Like A Dullard
SOMETIMES it feels like Lady GaGa single handedly revived pop. With that, it is fair to say she’s the current queen of pop culture, which gives her the chance to turn into a self-aware kook. God knows we need some oddballs in music at the moment, especially given that rock music is currently riddled with men who are about as thrilling as a post-match interview with Michael Owen.
So with that, GaGa has decided to ban ice-cubes from her concerts.

Public Enemy’s Flava Flav Arrested By “Rookie Ass Cop”
IT isn’t unusual to hear news of a rapper getting arrested. In fact, its such a frequent occurrence that some think there’s something of a police conspiracy against wealthy black men (exemplified by Mos Def, here).
However, in some cases, you suspect stupidity may have a hand in it. Step up, class clown, Flava Flav.
