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.

X Factor: Jedward, John & Edward Grimes, Are Voted Out At Last
X Factor: Jedward, John & Edward, Are Voted Out. They are booed by the crowd.
The X Factor loses another warbling wannabe. And it’s Jedward.
The Duracell Gonks are in the sing off with Olly Murs, the man with a name like a contagion. They are toast. They are on their way to becoming a footnote in a TV history, a pub quiz question.
Jedward are two untalented, precocious, hard to like, over-exposed singing gonks who are part of a sick TV experiment to see what point Simon Cowell’s powers of deception wane and the masses rub their eyes and realise they are being served up crap.
C owell and Louis Walsh are like Mortimer and Randolph Duke in Trading Places, playing with people for entertainmnt.

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:

X Factor Does Pride Watch: Cheryl Cole Patronises Joe McElderry
X FACTOR does Pride Watch: Pride Watch highlights instances of Remote Pride, when someone barely or not at all related to the subject says how proud they of them, a comment that at once patronises the target and takes partial ownership of their achievement.
Cheryl Cole is “mentoring” Joe McElderry, the shiny, sexless Cliff Richard boychild by choosing what songs the voice coach trains him to sing.

X Factor: Using Susan Boyle To Cast Jedward As Victims
SUSAN Boyle is to sing a live pre-recorded song on the X Factor, and in readiness he has brushed up alongside Jedward, the Duracell Gonk act that we’re calling Jeadful.
Can some of Susan Boyle trademark victim status helps Jedward win the vote? The Mail gives us:
Susan Boyle has been giving advice to X Factor twins John and Edward Grimes to help them to deal with the abuse they are getting.
They should tell people to “f*** off”? A source explains:
“People have said John and Edward are like a freak show, which is what they were saying about Susan.”

Amy Winehouse To Star In New Patridge Family Show
AMY Winehouse’s metamorphosis into I’m A Celebrity’s Katie Price moves on as news reaches us that the singer wants more plastic surgery.
Yes, we know. This is the second Amy Winehouse story of the day but there is now more of her to cover. (Katie Price’s columns inches are correlated to the sixe of her Jordans.)
Having been cut up and sewn back together around the chest, Amy now wants to have her nose altered. Can it be that Amy has been looking at those London Zoo elephants with envy? “I’ll ‘ave me one ov dose noses,” says she. Bigger nostrils will make her envy of every Camden Town sniffer.

DID you know that Amy Winehouse has “set up house – in the hospital where docs fixed her boobs”?
Amy Winehouse is living in a hospital, says the Star. Having kicked illegal drugs, Amy is now living in a hospital where prescription – legal – drugs are only a press on the bell away, nurses are her maids and fading to black comes after counting down from 10?
The troubled singer has moved into the posh, private London Clinic. Amy Winehouse is living there full-time so she can be monitored by doctors round the clock.

X Factor Live: Jedward Do Jive Bunny, Olly Murs Is The Man And Danyl Johnson Is Careless
X Factor Live Blog: It’s Wham! Week. John and Edward, Danyl Johnson, Stacey Solomon, Jedward, Joe McElderry, Lloyd Daniels and contagious Olly Murs?
1. Lloyd Daniels - You’ve Got To Have Faith.
Lloyd needs faith because he doesn’t have a prayer of winning. Should have sung Wake Me Up Before You GoGo. A does of self-depracating humour might have saved him.
Damned by hard to like Louis Walsh: “I love everything except he voice Lloyd, I think you’re a real little pop star though.”
2. Stacey Solomon - I Can’t Make You Love Me
Is she getting blonder?
X Factor: Stacey Solomon Look Alike Gallery. She’s through to next week’s show.

X Factor At The Union Chapel: Lostprophets, King Blues And The Black Out
BEFORE Simon Cowell brought us his finishing school for music with modules in X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and Pop Idol – with special points for anyone able to shorten their name into something that can fit into text message (Jedward, Subo etc.) – there was talent.
Here’s the news: there still is talent and new music. It’s just not on the tell any more. It’s at the 2009 Mencap Little Noise Sessions at the Union Chapel in London, in the form of Ian Watkins of Lostprophets, King Blues and The Black Out. We were there. We’ve got pictures:

X Factor: George Michael Sees The Light And The Jonas Brothers Back Jedward
X FACTOR Watch: George Michael spots the leading lights and the Jonas Brothers back Jedward.
The trick with the X Factor publicists is to keep the show in people’s minds in the long week, when I’m A Celebrity occupies all thoughts and front pages.
It’s achieved by non news. Today’s non-news news story is that George Michael might watch the show.
A show insider tells the Mirror:
“George is hoping to come and watch the live shows this weekend.”

Jordan adorns the cover of the Sun’s front page and tells readers: “Keep me sober or I’ll get nasty.”

I’m A Celebrity: Naked Katie Price Becomes Kate And Jordan ‘Dies’
I’M A Celebrity: Katie Price is dying. Kate Price is upon us. Jordan makes a naked dash for fame. And the worms get ready to complete the food cycle…
Daily Star (front page): “JORDAN: I’LL DIE IN BUSH”
Is that Bush the famous Shepherd’s Bush, location of the overgrown Blue Peter Garden and the BBC’s Television Centre? To viewers it looks like the Australian Bush, made to look bigger by clever angles and having little Ant ‘n’ Dec present the show.
Jordan will die in this Bush. Having eaten so much insect, she will become insect food.
KATE Price believes she is so hated, the public actually want to see her die in the jungle.

Frankie Sandford’s Slasher Dress Bum Note And Other Terrific Mistakes
POOR Frankie Sandford is a singer with The Saturdays, a Girls Aloud –Spice Girls tribute act and a graduate of S Club Juniors, youth wing of former cabaret act S Club 7. She’s done a Clare Danes and shown lots of flesh.
It all went terribly wrong when Sandford arrived at the Variety Club Awards. The Variety Club is a charity helps young, disabled and disadvantaged children. Sandford, currently dating McFly singer Dougie Poynter, arrived on the red carpet wearing a short dress through which a section of her backside was peeking out.
We had thought she’d worn it for the children, to cheer them up. But it turns out that showing your bum in public was all a terrific mistake. Did you see it? Did you? Says Sandford:
“When we went down the red carpet the photographers kept asking us to turn around and look over our shoulders. It wasn’t until afterwards that Mollie and Una pointed out that the reason they kept asking was because my dress had a big slit right on my bum cheek! Now it all makes sense!”

Mariah Carey Wants To Be Susan Boyle, In Pictures
MARIAH Carey wanted 20 white kittens to accompany her as she turned on the lights in the Westfield shopping centre, London. If Susan Boyle can do all that with one cat, Mariah needs 20. The world will be hers.
She also wanted 100 white doves, presumably to give the kittens something to kill while they waited the big moment. She was denied on both counts. There can be only one Susan Boyle. What Carey did get was a big Blue Peter wand made from KitKat wrappers and a bent coat hanger and lots of “butterfly-shaped” confetti scraped up from a wedding party at nearby Willesden Magistrates Court. The pictures:

Demi Moore Is Hip for W Magazine: Actress Runs Circles Round Photoshop Critics
ONE day one from Kate Moss saying something about eating skinny, actress Demi Moore has, apparently, had a hip removed to appear on the cover of W magazine.
Of course, Demi says she has never had any cosmetic surgery – proof here – which suggests her left hip has been airbrushed out of existence to best fit the front page.
Demi Moore is 47, rich and has had three children. Her hips are largely redundant. She now has the hips of teenage boy. Also her primary sexual characteristics are alluded to beneath the pelvic fringe of her gold Balmain leotard. Demi Moore has balls to pull this outfit on and off. Possibly.

I’m A Celebrity: Mitch Winehouse Leaks News Of Amy’s Winehouse’s ‘Leaky’ Breasts
MITCH Winehouse says his daughter Amy Winehouse is in hospital because her “fantastic” breasts are “leaky something or other.”
Amy’s breasts aren’t real breasts, allegedly, they’re two novelty bottles of gin and chocolate Vitamalt attached to optics disguised as nipples. Their attachment means that Amy can never walk on her hand again or enter the British Olympics’ trampoline team for 2012.
