X Factor Singers Jedward Play Falkirk, In Pictures

REMEMBER when the X Factor was front-page news and Jedward were all the rage? Fair enough if you don’t – no medical treatment needed. Fame moves on pretty fast and if you blink you may miss your turn at it.

Anorak’s Man with a good memory for bad trivia caught up with John and Edward Grimes, aka Jedward, as they played the City Nightclub in Falkirk. Quit that look on your face like Indiana Jones running from the big ball. Watch and remember.

One question: does the Jedward tour follow X Facor voting patterns: first GAY, now Falkirk. They’re coming to your secure institution next…

The Death Of Susan Boyle, In Pictures

susan-boyle-homeSUSAN Boyle Watch: Journalists are dreaming of Boyle’s funeral, her theme song and talking about her oxygen-starved brain…

ANOTHER day and with it another chance for the tabloids to knock Susie Simple, aka Susan Boyle, from her pedestal.

The Express spots Boyle on US TV:

Susan told her TV interviewer: “There was a lot of attention. I asked myself, ‘How do you cope with all this?’ I did have a period of self-doubt where I felt I wasn’t good enough. And there are times when, because I’m shy, I wished it would all go away. Sometimes you do think that, it’s only human nature.”

Indeed. She is only human. But Susan Boyle is not an average human. Once the tabloids told us she was an angel among us.  She was a sign of God’s love. Now the tabloids never tire to telling readers that Boyle is less than average:

She also spoke about overcoming her learning difficulties caused by slight oxygen deprivation at birth. She said: “I do have a slight disability – I had difficulty trying to express myself properly and music is a release for me. I’ve grown up a bit, I’m more of a lady. I accept now that my life will never be the same and I don’t want it to end.”

David Cameron Wants British Thanksgiving Parade, In Pictures

TOP TORY David Cameron today calls for the UK to celebrate Thanksgiving:

Says David Cameron:

“Keeping up with the plot of Friends and other top US TV shows is hard enough for our kids. But when the cast of Dora The Explorer or Ugly Betty celebrate Thanksgiving, Memorial Day or even Independence Day, our British kids just feel confused, isolated and are 85% more likely to turn to crime.”

In light of this, Anorak brings you the annual New York thanksgiving parade. One day Britons will able to look up and cheer huge inflatable Great British carton characters, like the Fat Slags, Alf Tupper, and Dave’s personal favourite Lord Snooty.

The Chilcot Inquiry Into The Iraq War, In Pictures

THE official inquiry into the war in Iraq kicks off with the war in Iraq still on.

Elements of the new US administration of President George Bush were already discussing “regime change” in Iraq two years before the invasion of 2003, the official inquiry into the war was told today

Regime. Changed. Sounds like good planning. Of course, we’ve already had the Hutton inquiry into the death of David Kelly and the Butler inquiry into the use of intelligence in the run-up to the conflict. This time it’s Sir John Chilcot’s Chilcot Inquiry. Everyone gets a turn at inquiring. It’s what Tony Blair meant when he championed life-long learning:

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:

The aim of this is for Aniston and Jolie to “destroy each other”. Jen is looking to meet with Brad Pitt, catalyst for much angst, soon. Then Jen will star in the Lost City of Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Oh, it’s no good. Jennifer ‘nice hair” Aniston v Angelina “bedtime reading” Jolie is going nowhere. Every week the Enquirer trots out another front-page story about how Jen and Ange don’t get on.

These mind games between Angie and Jen are no good for anyone,” says the source.

Disney’s First Black Princess Obama, In Pictures

a4A YEAR after the election of Barack Obama, Disneyland officially inaugurated its first black princess with the debut of Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee! starring Princess Tiana from the new animated feature, The Princess and The Frog.

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.

True Blood Porn, Oral Sex And Vampire Orgies, In Pictures

trueblood0THE Mail’s latest ‘ban this sick filth’-type article comes in the form of a rant against HBO vampire series True Blood. Olivia Lichtenstein – who else? – writes:

True Blood is a shocking tale of depravity, explicit sexuality (bordering on pornography) and vile language.

Even before the opening credits have rolled in the first episode, we see a young woman pleasuring a young man while driving her car.

That’s just before a picture of the two leads having sex. Just so you can see how depraved it is.

X Factor Stars Do A Christmas Carol, In Pictures

ANORAK was at the world premiere of Disney’s A Christmas Carol in Leicester Square last night.

All the big stars were giving a remake of a remake of what once was book of a cartoon the weight it deserves: Olly Murs, Stacey Solomon, Danyl Johnson, Jedward, Lucie Jones, Lloyd Daniels, Joe McElderry, Jamie Archer and anyone else you had never heard of a few months ago.

Peter Andre was also there, trying not to outshine the talent and doing his now trademark impression of Bob Cratchit to Katie Price’s Scrooge…

Cher’s Daughter Chastity Bono Will Not Shave Behind Chaz’s Ears

“Most people call it top surgery. The construction of the male chest from a female chest. When I went through puberty and started to grow breasts, it was very uncomfortable and emotional.”

Anorak’s pictures a post-op chest like Peter Andre’s. Entertainment Tonight’s Mary Hart nods along, waiting to pose the big question. Chaz. Chaz… How big is your penis? Of course, the TV show cares too much to ask it, so instead we hear her ask about surgical procedures “elsewhere?”

This Isn’t It: Michael Jackson Conspiracy Theorists Hijack Film Premier, In Pictures

japan-jackson1MICHAEL Jackson’s film, This Is It, hits the movie screens.

In 16 cities around the world, the film of outtakes, retakes and on-the-takes plays on.

You can read what Liz Taylor thinks of it here, and what Peter Andre thinks of it here. America has Liz Taylor. The UK has Peter Andre, and he had to be imported.

Not everywhere is the film a big deal. But our snappers were in LA and London. And this is what they saw (there’s a film in this). Look out for:

London: Randy Jackson, Tito Jackson and Marlon Jackson (which si which), George Sampson, Abby Clancy, Harry Connick Junior (you’ve seen this, right?), a Chipmunk and two looka-likes.

LA: Ian Ziering’s teeth, Will Smith’s knits, Jennifer Lopez (allegdly), Paula Abdul’s New Age dress and Paris Hilton.

Koran Writing Appears On Baby’s Leg

ali-god-legsIN the small village of Krasno-Oktyabrskoye, in the Republic of Dagestan, new-born Ali Yakubov bears the mark of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.

Ali’s mum, Madina Yakubova, says her son was born with a hematoma on his chin. But – lo! – when the wound healed, the word ‘Allah‘ written in Arab appeared as if by magick.

And that is not all. On his legs are entire sentences in Arabic. He is the first child that you can cuddle and read:

“The inscriptions appear on Mondays and Fridays, the boy runs very high temperature and cries. The inscriptions gradually disappear after three days and then new ones appear.”
