Read the Ten Craziest Reasons Why Nidal Hasan killed 13 people here.

Spotter: Tim Blair.

One question, well, two: what does JLS stand for. No, we don’t mean what is the lads’ stance on war or fish on Fridays, but what does the acronym pad out to? Junior Lip Sync? And GAY? Good And Young? Your suggestions, pleases. The pictures of the show:

Daily Mail (front page): “Where’s your wedding ring Cheryl”

Daily Express (front page): X Factor shock as Jedward twins stay in”

Metro: “Party’s over for Lucie”

Simon Cowell: The Teenage Terror

Daily Record: “X Factor: Simon Cowell performs U-turn to save John and Edward from the boot”

Lucie, 18, who was an early favourite to win the ITV talent show, looked crushed when the decision was announced. But she leapt to the twins’ defence, saying: “I’m gutted but the boys deserve to be here. They work harder than anyone.”

They train them well in the House of Cowell. They. Speak. On. Demand.

Dannii Minogue is a little more cutting, and regains control of her eyebrows long enough to say:

“I just wish all the good singers good luck in the singing competition. It shouldn’t have happened.”

If it were a singing contest would Dannii Minogue be a judge?

Others react:

Daily Mirror: “SHAME ON YOU SIMON”

A squirming Cowell later tried to justify keeping Jedward in the contest. He said: “You make a decision based on the moment. “I didn’t have strong feelings either way. If either were going to win the competition, I would have done the right thing. But it’s not my fault that those two artists were in the bottom two. But that’s the way it is. It’s not life and death… I wasn’t expecting that result. If I were to gamble, I wouldn’t have expected that.”

Or:

The Sun: “‘Ward a load of cobblers”

The source added: “The producers always claim that Simon doesn’t know how the voting goes before he makes his decision. But after the intense conversation with Simon, Holloway was seen whispering in the ears of judges Dannii, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh.”

Or checking for sings of life.

Daily Mirror: “X Factor’s Jedward would be the death of pop music”

And it puts Simon Cowell in a precarious position. Thanks to Jedward, the show is in danger of becoming a laughing stock - yet they are the only thing keeping the show interesting. While Joe, Stacey and Olly have improved, the seemingly outstanding contestants (Lucie, Jamie, Danyl) become less impressive and less interesting the more we see of them.

But pop music can be saved by whatever means necessary:

Daily Star: “‘JEDWARD’ GET LUCIE THE BOOT”

Nightclub DJ Pete Williams, 24, launched a sick hate campaign on the social networking site. He threatened to harm the 18-year-old Irish identical twins if one million web users joined his group.

Shocked and appalled

Now, Karen Dunn: “The X Factor: Jedward lives!”

I am shocked and appalled. Simon Cowell you should be ashamed of yourself.

It’s Patriotism Wot Won It

Belfast Telegraph: “Irish X Factor twins John and Edward steal the show with Ghostbusters theme”

What a performance, boys – because with a full-size Ghostbusters van, Michael Jackson-style dance routine and on-stage zombies, their vocal ability — or lack of it — wasn’t really an issue.

Er, no… That John & Edward picture gallery (below), last night’s result shocker and the live blog.

Anorak’s Man In A Furry Suit in LA was there:

SINGING and dancing and performing from the Mark Twain riverboat along the Rivers of America and culminating in a second line march into New Orleans Square, the spectacle is, as the daily program, promises, a “toe tappin,’ hand-clappin’ riverboat extravaganza” that veers perilously and surprisingly toward the coonin’ and buffoonin’ of another era and a Showboat of another era.

The actress lip-synching to the recorded tracks plays it broad - way broad, and the happy shining stereotypes, including a gravel-throated crocodile trumpeter named Louis - are in your face. Equally controversial is that the prince Tiana is paired up with, appears to be white, or Indian, or Middle Eastern, but most definitely not a black man. It all seems to tarnish Tiana’s achievement, and while she may become a favorite of little black girls, the setup could lead to serious questions from black boys.

Any irony in all this?

While the show tapped and clapped along New Orleans Square, Stevie Wonder was in the plaza at the end of Main Street with Sleeping Beauty’s castle behind him, dressed in red and performing “What Christmas Means To Me” for an ABC Christmas Day special.

When I go to the office, I adjust to B cup. Pretty in every sense!

When I hit the streets, I adjust to a C cup. I bedazzle all the people around me!

When I party, I adjust to a D cup. Hot and Fiery!

Can Jedward survive? No. They can’t. They return to Mr Clon. E’s Jelly Mould & Couplings factory to be realigned and turned into something that can hang from your car’s rear view mirror.

Lucie sings on… But nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Simon Cowell saves them by undoing all his guff about it being a singing show and how crap Jedward are by keeping them in.

He has no idea how the public voted. Yeah really. And the Pope has no ideas he has a balcony. It’s all teary and huggy and hideous at Simon Cowell’s pop factory.

He chews them up and he spits them out. The Jedward look-alike gallery now follows:

Visitors pay personal tribute to those that have lost their lives in the service of their country during Remembrance Sunday at the National Memorial Arboretum, Alweras.

To our mind, Peter Andre always looks to be more on the point of tears than rage. But the NoTW knows:

PETER ANDRE has gone ballistic after Jordan told the world she had a secret abortion while they were married, saying: “This is the ultimate betrayal.”

You may think the ultimate betrayal was leaving your wife and kids. But Peter is here to educate:

But the singer is seething at his ex, real name Katie Price, for revealing the most personal details of their private life in a magazine interview for which she was paid an estimated £50,000.

No, he’s not seething at the fee, disappointed at missing out on an opportunity to make more money from a failed marriage, but the fact:

Our source said: “He sees this as the ultimate betrayal. Is there anything in her life which she won’t sell? An abortion is one of the most personal and private things that a couple can go through and Jordan just throws this into a magazine interview.”

Peter will not dignify this with a response, not even in the national press. Here’s more from that source:

“It’s terrible she feels the need to talk about this so publicly. It drags up a whole lot of emotions for Pete when he just wants to move on.”

The irony is so rich it should come with a health warning.

Neveneffecten is TV-program on Flemish public television, written and performed by the cabaret quartet.

While waiting for Songs of Praise to come on, take a look. And isn’t this the same set they use for the TellyTubbies?

Daily Mirror: “Britain’s Got Talent winner Susan Boyle on pain of her lost love”

She: “HAD A BOYFRIEND WHO PROPOSED..HE BROKE MY HEART”

What did he propose?

Never-been-kissed singing sensation Susan Boyle has revealed she DID once have a boyfriend.

He never kissed her, right?

“I had a boyfriend, John. He asked me to marry him after seven weeks.”

What did Pebbles the cat make of it?

“We went to visit his mum and she started telling me what our kitchen was going to be like when we got married! Even what fridge we could have, although we’d only ever had a peck on the cheek!”

First a kiss. Then a toaster. Then a feel in the car. Then a microwave oven. And so on. All the way to a Aga self-cleaning oven, in mauve. Susan is no innocent:

“He got cold feet. It made me sad, in a way. It makes you feel unattractive. You feel that life is passing you by. But I thought, ‘Maybe there’s something for me later’. I was always optimistic.”

You and Simon Cowell both. What else?

Still bemused by her fame, Susan modestly told Weekend magazine: “I suppose it’s a bit of a Cinderella story, isn’t it?”

No. It isn’t. Cinders was all about the hairy feet. Although Amanda Holden would make a terrific ugly Sister.

Unreality TV: “Susan Boyle to perform on Dancing with the Stars”

Susan will sing while celebs dance.

Daily Record: “I suffered breakdown after Britain’s Got Talent, admits Susan Boyle”

Says she:

“Everything had built up and I was exhausted. You have to understand, my life ceased to be normal when Britain’s Got Talent went live. There were a lot of press people outside my door, a lot of television people, a lot of people who wanted a piece of me.”

The eyebrows, right? TV killed the TV star.

“I thought, ‘God, what’s happening here.’ I never expected that. It got to the stage where I couldn’t even go outside. I was quite frightened. I felt very vulnerable, because I was living on my own.”

Not alone. You had Pebbles. How soon they forget the little people.

“There were phone calls 24 hours a day. They kept me awake for three weeks, until I changed my number. It was totally out of control, like a steamroller. It just got bigger and bigger and bigger until, eventually, it can flatten you.”

Well, it can make you look thinner on the telly, it might be all bad:

She said: “I hadn’t eaten properly for about a week, hadn’t slept properly. The feeling was one of extreme exhaustion that manifested itself in firing off at everyone. I don’t remember much else. I just know someone sent for an ambulance and I went to the Priory. I needed to sleep. I was too tired to even think straight.”

No need to think. Simon Cowell will do your thinking for you.

Olly Murs and Danyl Johnson are getting close, allegedly:

Daily Mirror: “Essex boy OLLY MURS is complaining about gay Danyl’s over-friendly “‘touchyfeeliness’ in the house.”

Is Olly’s Essex-ness relevant to his views on “gay” Danyl? Who is Olly complaining to? Anyone smell homophobia? Lots to investigate. Is Jan Moir free to help? In any case, Olly is spoken for:

The Star: “OLLY NICE PROBLEM”

Busty glamour girl Chantelle Houghton says she fancies the pants off the cheeky chappy.

Run, Olly. Run. Run all the way into her arms:

But Olly, 25, says fellow finalist Stacey Solomon, 20, is his soulmate and insiders reckon the feeling is mutual. Olly exclusively told the Daily Star Sunday: “My best friend in the house is Stacey. We are very close; she’s the one I get on best with.”

The People: “Joe burns bright for old flame”

The first love of Joe McElderry nearly fell off the settee when she saw her ex on The X Factor - because she remembers how he used to sing like a “wailing cat”.

Cat hater!

Joe, 18, is second favourite to win, but Carly Dilbert was less than impressed by his voice during their two-year school romance…

“When we began dating as 14-yearolds at school in South Shields, a gang of us would sing songs together but Joe didn’t have much of a voice. He hardly sang at all - and then it was like a cat wailing.”

Daily Mirror: “We were so in love..we spent all day in bed”

It’s the man who might have been Mr Lucie Jones:

Ross said: “We didn’t go out to clubs or anything much. Our favourite thing was to get a movie and a tub of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and spend the night in bed. Then we would usually spend the next day up there as well.”

That’s the ice-cream gig secured.

The People: “Dannii: I’m weddy for Kris”

Weddy and Rilling:

X Factor judge Dannii Minogue can’t wait to wed her Brit boyfriend Kris Smith… but she’s not ready to have his kids Dannii, 38, says of rugby hunk Kris, 31: “He is The One. I am waiting excitedly for him to present me with a ring.”

Get your mind out the gutter. Think of higher things, like Cheryl Cole:

The People: “So what makes Cheryl Cole look so sad & alone?”

Is it somethign to do with her size?

Matters came to a head last week when Cheryl broke down in tears at home and told Ashley, 28: “I don’t think Simon rates me anymore.

Read my lips:

She’s so sensitive she’s starting to doubt herself and worries she’s letting everyone down.  It sounds crazy because she’s adored by the public, she’s at the top of the charts and Brand Cheryl is going from strength to strength. But deep down she’s still the girl from Newcastle who made good - and she’s terrified it could all be taken from her.”

Or maybe she’s not all that talented? What say the experts?

Daily Mirror: “SHE WAS TOO CLINGY SO I DITCHED HER.. I WAS CRAZY TO LET HER GO”

It’s an ex-love:

The gang spent most of their time drinking and smoking in the local park, but Stephen says some members of them got involved in more serious crimes. He says: “We were a nuisance, but most of us weren’t real criminals. But then people started coming over from a different estate, causing real trouble. They would steal cars and joy ride around the park. They brought drugs with them and started dealing. There would often be fights. But one thing I can say is Cheryl never tried drugs or committed crime.”

Cheryl saved criminal behaviour for later.

What about Daniel Lloyd? Who loves him? And who loves Cheryl?

Daily Mirror: “Lloyd mum blames Chez”

The mum of X Factor hopeful Lloyd Daniels yesterday said she will blame Cheryl Cole if he is voted off the show.

Any other Cheryl Cole news?

Tha Indian: “Cheryl Cole ‘targeted in big money internet sex plot’”

A British man has threatened Cheryl Cole to pay him millions of pounds or he would continue to shame her with a porn X-rated website, it has emerged. The 55-year-old Martin McCann owns the rights of cherylcole.cc, a site through which he has already started embarrassing the X Factor judge.

Porn on the web? Never!

The People: “Jamie affairo? I should Coco!”

A friend of the couple admitted: “Jamie and Coco have fallen for each other in a big way. Despite being booted out of the show Coco remained in daily contact with Jamie. “She came down to see him on Thursday and gave him some love and attention ahead of this weekend’s show.”

More X Factor nonsense every day….

Daily Mirror: “STOP HATING US”

The Jedward twins told last night how they have become the victims of a “savage” hate campaign being waged by vile X Factor obsessives…

Like the, er, Daily Mirror and every other organ with a page to fill?

“We were in the street walking to our dance class when a whole family came past in a black car and shouted out, ‘We hate you. You’re w******’. Edward was shaken up and very upset. I had to calm him down and tell him not to think about it. All we want is for people to love us.”

Can’t we just be indifferent to you?

Daily Star: MY SON’S WON’T BE BULLIED

John and Edward Grimes faced cruel jibes and taunts for years in their home town thanks to their wacky clothes and cocky attitude

Cock-sure twins are, er, bullied. and just when you thoght Jedward had suffered enough:

NP: “Peaches Geldof : Peaches Geldof wants to marry X Factor’s Edward Grimes”

The 20-year-old Geldof is smitten by the Irish brothers and has been going gaga about them on her Twitter page.

And when she met the two backstage at The X Factor studios. She Tweeted: “I screamed when they walked in,” reports the Daily Star. Edward was stunned when she proposed to marry him by the end of the night.

Which she did?

Sunday Express (front page): “YARD ASKED TO REOPEN MADDIE CASE”

By whom?

“Calls for Scotland Yard to step in after police in Portugal fail to take the latest appeal for information seriously”

Calls by whom?

The Express features not a picture of the Our Maddie its readers know but the one mocked up by the fine people at Ceops. The piece is written by James Murray, who goes under the new title “Investigations Editor”. As for the news:

Kate and Gerry McCann want the Yard’s renowned kidnap team to assess an avalanche of new information after last week’s emotional internet appeal, which generated five million hits from around the world.

This does not seem unfair. A British national has gone missing. But what information should the police spend their resources looking at? James Murray investigates:

Portuguese ¬police, the Sunday Express can reveal, have failed to set up a new phone line for callers to ring with information.

So no police station have a phone? Has the National Emergency Number – 112 – been decommissioned by those bungling Portuguese coppers?

Last night there was fury over the dismissive response. Interpol and Europol are among 163 ¬forces worldwide that have committed to help with the appeal.

Fury. Always the fury. But can it be that 163 police forces have committed to help find Madeleine McCann? And if police in South African, Canada, Chile, Japan and Romania are looking then why not the Portuguese? There are 192 coutries in the UN. This means that 29 countries are not helping find Our Maddie. Which is shocking.

No news on what those 163 police forces are doing to look, but Murray is more concerned with what the Portuguese are not doing:

Portugal’s Policia Judiciaria is still in charge of the Madeleine case because that is where she disappeared over two years ago. It would say only that if credible information comes in by fax, letter or email, it would be passed to senior officers if it was deemed “significant”.

So the front-page headline that they will not investigate is wrong. They will. What the Portuguese will not do is investigate every phone call and emails. This entire front-page screamer seems to be based on one man’s opinion.

Last night former Scotland Yard chief Dai Davies said it was time to let the Yard take over. The former royal protection head said: “Madeleine is a ­British subject and she deserves the best, which the Yard can provide. It is time to put any daft police protocols to one side and get on with the job of finding her. It is a solvable case.

“It is astonishing and disgraceful that the Portuguese have not assigned a specific team to scrutinise leads which could provide a breakthrough in the world’s biggest child abduction case.

“It is frankly outrageous that the parents of this poor child should be hiring private detectives to conduct an investigation which should have been taken on by the Yard in the first place.”

Dai Davis…? Oh, him. He’s the top copper who in a retired and media-friendly capacity jetted to Paia Da Luz in 2007, and with skiful investigative prowess came up with just four theories as to what happened to Our Maddie. Mirror readers learnt:

MY FOUR THEORIES
1. Maddie was snatched by an opportunist paedophile.
2. A planned abduction, plotted in UK, in which she was “snatched to order” by a paedophile gang.
3. Someone holding a grudge against the McCanns.
4. Snatched by local childless couple.

In 2008, he opined:

“The Portuguese investigation has quite simply not solved the crime and it is now looking increasingly likely that it will be shelved. I would suggest that this is the time to call on the Yard to take the lead and to get them to form a team of detectives to work on the case”

In other Maddie non-news news:

Mail on Sunday: “McCanns use psychologist to help tell twins about Madeleine

Mrs McCann, 41, said experts have said the youngsters will ask about Madeleine’s disappearance when they are ready. “We’ll be led by them,” she said. “We’ve had advice from a child psychologist and they’ve said Sean and Amelie will lead the way. If they ask a question, we’ll answer them honestly. I’m not going to rush them, but if they ask something then I’ll answer them.”

Mr McCann, 41, a heart specialist, added: “We will answer their questions openly and honestly. What they ask, we’ll tell them. We’ll tell them what happened and what information we know.”

So what happened and what is known? Well , kids, an innocent child went missing. And the media went nuts.

Madeleine McCann: no suspects. No sign of the child. Just a media narrative…

* 192-163 equals whatever reader Martyn P tells us.

NEW Age guru, motivational speaker, and Spiritual Warrior James Arthur Ray isn’t stopping his crusade for the truth.

No indeed.

Not until all the facts are known about that fatal October 8th sweat lodge over which he presided.

You know the which one we’re talking about, right? The one that left three people dead and 18 others in the hospital?

Yeah, that one.

In a Saturday evening statement posted on Ray’s website, he tells us he’s continuing to devote all of his energy “to determine the facts surrounding the tragic accident in Sedona.” ‘Cause there’s no way, as the proprietor of the sweat lodge, he could possibly already know any of the facts surrounding the tragedy, right? It’s not like he was in control of what happened inside that tent?

But we digress.

From now on, as the result of his zeal for finding the truth, The Rat will refer to James Arthur Ray as “Detective Jim.”

Furthermore, we’ll now stop saying that Ray is refusing to cooperate with the authorities.

Why?

Because in the statement he posted Saturday night at about 7:00pm PT, Ray states very clearly that he has instructed his representatives “to meet with the authorities in Arizona, and to share with those authorities the fact they learn.”

Finally!

We don’t know about any of you, but The Big Cheese for one is ecstatic that Ray’s “representatives” are going to help authorities fill in the blanks.

There seems to be no doubt that we’re close to getting answers about what really happened.

* There is no allegetion of any wrongdoing and Mr Ray is accused of committing no crime.

Despite its success, Thames Television dropped The Benny Hill Show in 1989, admittedly as part of the trend of political correctness that was prevalent at the time: some had accused the shows as being sexist and racist.

Twenty years later, the country that spewed out the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen and Russell Brand, continues to be imprisoned by political correctness. Even the Daily Telegraph, in reporting the stamp insult, says the Benny Hill Show “is best remembered for the closing credits in which Hill chased an assortment of scantily-clad women.”

Want to know whay he did it? Here are the Top Ten Craziest Reasons:

The Typical American Fame-Hungry Gun Nutter

For a few hours late on Thursday, it seemed this would follow the usual sad script of shooting tragedies in America. The “monster” assailant would turn the weapon on himself or be instantly gunned down by others.

Only he didn’t. He kept shooting until he was shot.

1) Compassion Fatigue

Dr. Robin Kerner, an attending psychologist who specializes in disaster anxiety at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City, said it’s not uncommon for individuals who work with traumatized patients to suffer the effects of “compassion fatigue.”

“This guy was counseling people coming back from war and there is something called secondary traumatization, where the therapist gets traumatized from hearing all the terrible things that have happened to the people they counsel.”

2) He Had Been Beheaded

Sky News presenter: “There is word coming through that this man lost his head, literally”

3) Combat Stress Disorder

Thursday’s deadly rampage raises a red flag over the issue of combat stress.

Major Nidal Malik Hasan never saw active service.

4) Pre Traumatic Stress Disorder

The case of Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who is the primary suspect in the Fort Hood shooting spree Thursday that killed 13 people, is pointing up the enormous need to help soldiers overwhelmed by the stress – or even the prospect – of serving in wartime.

5) Stress-Avoidance Stress Disorder

Unusually for a soldier, Hasan appeared to have little taste for violence, at least up until yesterday. His cousin, Nader Hasan, said: “He was someone who did not enjoy going to the firing range.” That may have been a consequence of the stories he had heard in the hospital wards from the returning soldiers.

6) Vicarious Stress Disorder

Those who counsel trauma victims — whether they be psychiatrists, social workers or advocates — can experience an emotional toll after intensive exposure to patients’ stories of horror. Experts call this phenomenon “vicarious trauma.”

The impact of trauma on those who help the traumatized has become a subject of discussion as investigators try to piece together why Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, an Army psychiatrist at Darnall Army Medical Center, allegedly opened fire at a military processing center Thursday at Fort Hood Army Post in Texas, killing 13 people and wounding 30 others.

A second opinion:

His aunt, Noel Hasan, said her nephew had been upset by the injuries he saw at Walter Reed. “He must have snapped,” she added.

7) He Came Unstuck

An apartment complex manager says the man accused of opening fire at Fort Hood, Texas recently had a religious bumper sticker torn off his car.

“My other car’s loaded a taxi loaded with Semtex.”

The Time-Bomb Bomber

Yesterday, the time-bomb exploded when Hasan killed 12 soldiers and shot 31 others in the bloodiest massacre on a US military base.

9) The Non-Suicidal Suicide

Suicides are also on the rise. Army suicides are up 37% since 2006, and the military rate is higher than the civilian rate. Since the 2003 Iraq invasion, 75 Fort Hood soldiers have killed themselves, nine this year. That prompted the base to take steps to reduce stress on soldiers, including cutting work hours and ordering them to be home in time for dinner.

He did it to get home early and beat the traffic.

10) Women Drove Him To It

His cousin Nader Hasan says: “He wanted a wife more religious than him,” Faizul Khan told the Daily News. “She had to pray five times a day. She had to wear the hajib. He was a young, good looking guy and a physician but he couldn’t find anybody.”

Cherchez la femme. 

Anyone else got any other ideas why he might have done it? to help you, teh BBC delivers this headline:

Shooting raises fears for Muslims in US army

And, maybe a few fears for any stressed-out soldier working with them. Maybe…
