The Backstreet Boys Play London, In Pictures

YOU know you’re getting old when the Backstreet Boys have reformed. Anorak’s aging fan was at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball at the O2 Arena in London to see Brian Littrell (turning into Steve Martin), A. J. McLean (sunglasses to reduce the glare), Nick Carter (he was once a heartthrob) and Howie Dorough (Howard the popstar) of the Backstreet Boys perform. She took pictures.

X Factor: Jedward Go GAY, Win I’m A Celebrity And Hate Susan Boyle

jedward4X FACTOR rejects Jedward are now 8-1 to win I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. Having swallowed Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh’s balls, they are on course to swallow something still more fragrant in the Blue Peter garden.

Before that, Jedward are to sing at GAY Heaven this Saturday night, following in the footsteps of Lucie Jones, Rachel Adedeji, Kandy Rain and JLS.

Now the duo have been fast tracked into tabloid journalism, and are seated in the editor’s car for the Sun’s Bizarre section.

Highlights include:

* Jedward have the autographs of Avril Lavigne, the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears

* Jedward’s hair is a combination of “VO5 and hairspray” – as is their voice.
