In Photos: Susan Boyle Sings Rockefeller Center Plaza In New York City
SUSAN Boyle Watch: Anorak’s Man in New York was there to see Susan Boyle perform live on NBC’s ‘Today’ show from the Rockefeller Center Plaza in New York City.
Susan Boyle has undergone a makeover but thanks to her lack of slimness and cynicism, she remains marketable and easy for vain, Botox-laced US TV presenters to patronise. How does she manage to sing while looking like that? America looks on in awe. Boyle is so very brave…

I’m A Celebrity: Quitter Katie Price Wanted To Die With Jedward
I’M A Celebrity: Katie Price has left the jungle to be with her make-up.
Jordan walked out jungle. She put in a good shift. She’s not John Fashanu.
But Katie Price leaves the jungle with her head high and her Jordan’s held higher, like Saint Agatha in a bikini.
She leaves the show with a legacy of a slightly sunken hammock and the waters with traces of eyebrow felt tip and tangerine varnish.
Says Katie Price:
“Everyone else, give them something to do. You’ve seen me struggle, you’ve seen me cry, shake, want to die.
“I really don’t want to be doing this. I miss my children. I’m hungry.
“I want a nice bed and I don’t want to have to put myself through these horrible challenges.”
Did she walk in sympathy with Jedward?

In Pictures: Erotica 2009 At Olympia, London (NSFW)
TO the Opening day of ‘Erotica 2009′ at Olympia, London. Olympia is the big show hall that sits by the Tube’s appendix. Olympia is such a grandiose, overblown name for the big hall where your writer once attended a photocall for the Crufts winner to eat Pedigree Chum, saw indoor show jumping and lay down in a gazebo beneath dappled sky of plastic peonies at the Daily Mail Ideal home Exhibition. Olympia is just a big, soulless empty space to be used by animals and people who think it’s the 1950s. And it’s hosting Erotica 2009. Go figure.

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:

Madeleine McCann And The Wanted ‘James Bond’ Spy
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann: The “secret agent con man”, Oakley International and detectives seek detectives…
For three summers, the hunt has been on for the media’s Our Maddie. She has yet to be found. What happend to her has yet to be established. All we know is that she missing.
The detectives have failed.
The Guardian: “FBI searches for detective who worked on Madeleine McCann case”
He’s gone missing? Is foul play suspected? What say the detectives who aren’t missing?
A British security consultant who was paid £300,000 to assist efforts by Kate and Gerry McCann to find their daughter Madeleine is being sought by the FBI over an alleged £1.3m fraud.
A £500,000 contract given to Kevin Halligen’s private detective agency, Oakley International, to help with the search for the missing child was terminated last year after a major benefactor of the McCanns expressed concerns about the quality of the firm’s work.

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.

Peru Arrests Men For Liquidising Fat People For Beauty Industry
IN Peru, four men are arrested on suspicion of harvesting the fat from the obese and selling it as fuel for European cosmetics.
This is victimless crime, right New Labour? The fat get put out of their misery; the thin don’t have to see the fat; the beautiful people who actually care about their looks get to look more beautiful - so long as they don’t eat the stuff – and the fat finally get to touch thin flesh.

Ten Reasons Why Thierry Henry Did It
WANT to know why France captain Thierry Henry used his hand to score a goal in game of FOOTball against Ireland? We bring you the Top Ten Theories:
1. C’est La France
He was shrugging. At the moment of impact (1). Henry was thinking about existentialism and the modern man. He asked himself a question and answered it in traditional fashion, with a Gallic shrug. Henry then responded to his own answer to his own question with a second shrug (2).
2. For Culture
Henry knew that Ireland would not win the World Cup. The likelihood of them being robbed in South Africa while literally high was on the field only a remote hope. Henry sought to give the Irish something to feel aggrieved and, therefore, inspired about for four years of drinking, poetry and song.
3. For England

Barack Obama Uses Ghost Writers For His Twitter Account
BARACK Obama has a huge Twitter following. He is the President of the United States on Twitter. Barack Obama is your pal. It turns out that Barack doesn’t write his own Twitters. Another Barack Obama does that.
Rumours are that he doesn’t write his own speeches and might read the words off a machine. But let’s stick to the web.
There is a Barack Obama for every social networking site. FaceBook Obama is married, Bebo Obama likes cats, Tumblr Obama hates Obama, MySpace Obama knows all the words to Who Let The Dogs Out and Reddit Obama has a vegetable shaped like a penis.
The president told a youth audience in Shanghai on Sunday that he has never used Twitter…
“I have never used Twitter, but I’m an advocate of technology and not restricting Internet access,” Obama said during the town hall. “My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone.”
So if that’s not Obama, you’re talking to who is it? Hang up, kids. Hang up now. It could be anyone.

I’m A Celebrity: Katie Price Is Rubbed Off In Kim Woodburn Bust Up
I’M A Celebrity: For the first time in weeks, there is not a single X Factor story on the cover of any paper, which can only mean one thing: Katie Price is wearing a bikini in the overgrown Blue Peter garden. The daily round-up of I’m A Celebrity news:
The Sun (front page): “Three on the bounce”
Jordan has now completed Three Bush Tucker trials. And it’s all because of Peter Andre:
Fans of her ex-hubby Peter Andre are said to have hatched an internet plot to force her to do EVERY trial in revenge for her treatment of the singer.
Good of the Sun to undercover this datardley plot on the shadowy web. What do we know?
One poster on Facebook wrote: “Keep voting for Kate to do all the tasks.”
Another added: “Vote her to do all the nasty trials.” Bookies made Jordan favourite to do the next trial.
Can it be that only two people vote for the celebs to be put up for challenges?Or is teh sun workign on away to keep Peter Andre in the jungle dynamic? In other news, there’s been a fight, what tabloids should call a BUST UP:
The Mirror: “Kim v Katie”
It’s televised pro-celebrity cleaning woman Kim Woodburn and Katie Price. Fumble? No. Rumble. Yes! Fight!
She looks as if she could handle herself in a physical confrontation and after her verbal rucking with Katie Price in the episode on telly a couple of hours ago, Kim’s obv up for a rumble in the jungle too…
The Mirror is writing in the manner of a text message to git din wiv da kidz. Back to the fight. Will Kim wipe the floor with Katie? Will Katie starts calling Kim ‘Quim’? The exchange goes like this:
Katie wants to know what the other campmates thing of her. This is good because ITV can now film Katie and the other celebs at the same time, instead of just Katie:
Gino In Da Campo: “I thought you would be a right bitch.”
Quim: “You are what I thought you’d be.”
Jordan: “What, a bitch?”
Quim: “You’re a publicity seeker. You live and die for publicity and you do it well. As Shakespeare once said, ‘We fear you protesteth too much.’”
Shakespeare might have said it but he never did write it down. Kim Woodburn is an authority on Shakespeare, that’s Brett Shakespeare, supplier of scouring pads to the rich and famous.
Jordan: “What do you mean?”
Kim: “You said you escaped to come in here but you’ve got 12 million people watching you every night. I don’t get that. What I’m saying is you do publicity very well and you protest all the time but love it. You live it and dream it.”
Jordan: “No, I used to love it”
Kim continues to rub away at the stain. But Jordan is constructed beneath indelible layers of felt tip and wood stain. Oh, if only breasts were elbows Kim would have the power to wipe Jordan from the face of the planet.
And it end with fisticuffs? Well, no:
Katie: “We’re all talented in our own way, Kim. I’ve got to laugh out loud to myself. I’m agreeing with you, Kim.”
Katie Price not in fight and gets on with campmates – read all about it! It’s MAYHEM!

I’m A Celebrity: Jan Moir Is The Daily Mail’s Katie Price
I’M A Celebrity, With Jan Moir and Katie Price. Jan Moir, last seen trashing Stephen Gately in print, now has a turn on Katie Price. Reading the piece, Anorak cannot but help think that Moir has confused her private diary with her work.
Is she talking about Katie Price or herself? Let’s take a look:
Sweet kangaroo cutlets, what have we here? Katie Price back in the jungle again? I’m afraid so. I’m very, very afraid so. On Monday evening, the former topless model, sex pest, author and freshly divorced mother-of-three returned to I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!
That’s the pursed-lipped preamble, the diatribe equipped with one large colour picture of Katie in a bikini and in the shower for the newspaper and three pictures for web fans. Moir goes on:
Five years on from her first appearance in the reality show, shot on location in the Australian rainforest, Price is the first contestant to be invited to return.
It’s six years, Jan. Katie Price was on the show in 2003. Back to the professional writer:
Already she has reflected the, ahem, prestige and dignity of her jungle homecoming by wearing animal-print clothes that are tighter than anything the animals ever managed. She also thrashed around in a filthy swamp, washed her breasts in public and offered to give everyone a massage.
See pictures of tight clothes and much thrashing in the Daily Mail.

I’m A Celebrity: Katie Price’s ‘Only Interview’ Causes ‘Mayhem’
I’M A Celebrity In OK: In this weeks’ OK! magazine Katie Price delivers her “only interview” (today), Samantha Fox calls Jordan a “freak” and Kerry Katona says she’ll see Katie in the jungle.
It’s the I’m A Celebrity jungle special in this week’s OK! magazine as the organ trails the show that has, er, already started.
To make this one fly, and the £2,.60 cover price worth it, OK! needs a scoop. Can it find one?
“With a face full of Botox, a mouth like a Kalashnikov, a head packed with explosive secrets, celebrity tornado Katie Price is sure to cause total mayhem as she rips through the I’m a Celebrity… jungle camp.”

I’m A Celebrity: ‘Lesbian’ Katie Price Wants To ‘Remarry’ Peter Andre
I’M A Celebrity Watch: Katie Price wants to remarry Peter Andre, Myleene Klass revisited, nominative determinism and Samantha Fox goes native…
When you pay a fortune - £350,000 – to put “lesbian” Jordan in the jungle for a “romp” – you need to milk her for all she’s worth before the great unwashed vote her off the show.
Same goes for the tabloids, who have invested so much ink in Katie Price that unless a naked Sam Fox is going to put her head in Gino D’Acampo’s mouth all eyes remais locked on the former Mrs Peter Andre.
