Geri Halliwell has a spiritual connection with Russell Brand… no, you stop laughing
THE phrase ‘the beast with two backs’ was surely invented for the sham-relationship that is apparently unfurling between Russell Brand and Geri Halliwell. Imagine them at it. Imagine them trying to outdo each other in their attempts to be the centre of attention. Imagine them telling each other just how outlandishly vulnerable they are, talking over each other and pressing their bony, gristly bodies together in a minging embrace, both one eye on the mirror.
Just imagine.

Chris Brown and Rihanna to wearily anger entire universe by presenting award together
RIHANNA recently spoke-up about All That Chris Brown business while on Oprah’s latest version of her show and basically, handled all the mopping up that surrounds it. Of course, everyone noticed that Chris Brown himself is yet to talk about it, apologise for it and, indeed, sort his behaviour out accordingly in favour of acting like he’s the victim in all of this (never mind all that gawdawful dreck he’s released and spunked down unsuspecting ears).

Man says Angelina Jolie look alike raped him
“SHE asked me to help with her bag but when we were upstairs she got me in to her kitchen and told me she had to have sex with me. I think she wasn’t used to anyone saying no because she flew into a rage when I declined. She took out a knife and forced me to undress and have sex with her.”
An Angelina Jolie lookalike held a terrified taxi driver at knifepoint while she forced him to have sex,

Elvis Presley’s stained pelvis pants got on sale (photos)
WHAT am I bird for a pair of Elvis Presley’s gunties, knickers worn by the Pelvis under one of his jump suits in 1977? Elvis loved these pants because he never wanted lines visible through his jumps suits. They were obtained from the estate of his father, Vernon Presley and are expected to raise between £8-10,000 when they go to auction in Stockport on September 8th. It is not known what the stain on the font of the Pelvis retainers represents, but most experts think either HP sauce or ‘regret’…

‘Nerdy engineer’ Neil Armstrong: a life in 60 photos
NEIL Armstrong has died. The Korea war fighter pilot and self-titled “nerdy engineer” was for a time the most famous man in the world. You know what he did. On 20 July 1969, Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 crew took “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. Neil Armstrong and the Nasa team made humanity look up…

Katherine Jenkins wins Olympic media silver for David Beckham sex story
HEARD the one about Katherine Jenkins having an affair with David Beckham? No, neither had anyone else on Earth, ever. That was until Jenkins issued a statement on Twitter saying that she wasn’t having an affair with the squeaking footballer.
She pointed out that she’d only met Goldenballs twice, adding that she had never even been on her own with him.
Jenkins tweeted:
“Dear Twitter friends, I’ve read some horrible rumours on here & want u 2 know I absolutely deny I’ve had an affair with David Beckham. The rumours are very hurtful, untrue & my lawyers tell me actionable… I’ve only met David twice: once at the Military Awards in 2010 & on a night out in the West End in Feb 2012.” We were out in a group of friends & it was just a normal fun evening out… Just so we are clear I have never been on my own with him and never arranged to meet up.”
So is this a case of anti-news? If so, then we can also say things like ‘KATHERINE JENKINS ISN’T MADE OUT OF HAM!’ or ‘JENKINS DIDN’T HAVE SEX WITH EVERY MEMBER OF THE COSBY SHOW AND CERTAINLY DIDN’T FILM IT, NOR DID SHE ENJOY WATCHING THE THEO HUXTABLE SECTION BACK AT A LATER DATE’
Or is it a case of her letting the cat-out-of-the-bag on something that is actually happening, thereby creating a mini ‘Streisand Effect’? Has she jumped the gun before the story broke, thereby making her look incredibly guilty of something?
Or is it just a crap publicity stunt?
The Daily Mirror leads with the no news: “BECKS: I didn’t sleep with Kath.”
…an insider said Victoria, 38, knows the claims are “nonsense” and did not feel the need to respond. The source added: “Both she and David are a bit bemused as to why Katherine felt the need to do this in the first place. “Victoria and David haven’t needed to have conversations about the claims.”
While no comment about a non-news story is a front-page comment, the Sun yells from its front page:
“Diva’s Becks Sex Shock”
BBC presenter Nicky Campbell tweeted: “I see @kathjenkins has gone on Twitter and denied having an affair with David Beckham. Anyone you would like to deny having an affair with?”
Lily Allen tweeted: “I’m really upset at the hurtful rumours going round about me having an affair with Jay Z. My lawyers tell me they are actionable. I’ve met him twice, once at the Spotted Pig in New York and once at the Wireless Festival. We have never been alone together etc etc.”
Meanwhile, in the Olympic legacy spirit, we’d like to give Jenkins a silver medal for conjuring news from nothing. Nice one, Kath. It’s people like you that keep the dead-tree press writing about Twitter. They should give you a prize…

Princess Eugenie yet to deny being alone with David Beckham: Katherine Jenkins tweets
SINGER Katherine Jenkins wants us to know what she has not had an affair with David Beckham. You most likely did not hear about that apparent rumour that she now wants to quash. But Katherine is taking no chances. She heads to Twitter:
“Dear Twitter friends, I’ve read some horrible rumours on here & want u 2 know I absolutely deny I’ve had an affair with David Beckham. The rumours are very hurtful, untrue & my lawyers tell me actionable. I’ve only met David twice: once at the Military Awards in 2010 & on a night out in the West End in Feb 2012.

LL Cool J is being all big and brave after burglary
HARD is the life of a big tough rapper when something vaguely dangerous happens to you. All that bravado you showed suddenly dissipates and you have to present yourself as human and vulnerable. That or pose loads more and threatened to kill everyone in sight.
The elder-statesmen of hip hop have families and businesses and things to worry about other than their gym-torsos and self-aggrandising. So, when LL Cool J got involved with a ne’er-do-well who broke into his house, instead of whupping his ass with the butt of a pistol, he instead assured fans he is “safe” and uninjured.

Brett Cohen pranks people into believing he’s famous – becomes famous
BRETT Cohen pranks people into believing he’s famous – becomes famous. Cohen hit the streets of New York City, where the bridge and tunnel crowd come to see the lights and maybe a face. What Cohen did was tape into the truth that there is no small joy in spotting a celebrity.
You’d expect to see one in New York, of course. You’d less expect to see one in Des Moins or Davenport, Iowa. He should conduct another experiment in less starry more out-of-the-way places. Give those locals a thrill Still, all good fun:

Kim Kardashian had an orgy? And was ‘responsive’?
YOU may have seen Kim Kardashian’s famed sex-tape with Ray J (Whitney Houston’s last boyfriend and cousin of R&B singer, Brandy… phew… what a CV!) and thought that the wealthy celebutante wasn’t a particularly enthusiastic lover.
Well, porn star Julian St. Jox (great name) has some wild claims that refute that notion, saying that he had a threesome with Kim K and another female porn star a decade ago in LA. And there’s was an orgy and voyeurism and all sorts going down!

Avril Lavigne is getting married to Nickelback’s singer, which isn’t weird
CANADA is not known for a terrific musical output (Neil Young and Joni Mitchell aside). They gave us The Crash Test Dummies, Justin Bieber, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, the awful Arcade Fire, Barenaked Ladies and more. Someone needs to be culpable for all this dreck.
However, two of the worst to emerge from Canadian shores are getting married in a wedding that can only be described as a taste-hole.
Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger are going to tie the knot.

Mel B to clutter up X Factor on a permanent basis?
ANYONE who watched the X Factor over the weekend will still invariably be a ball of irritated tension after seeing Mel B bray her way through her awful, awful judging appearance.
Despite being a largely talentless boor (okay, she’s sold millions of records, but that doesn’t equate to any kind of ‘quality’ because, as the old adage goes, a million flies ’round shit can’t be wrong), she pooh-poohed, sneered, belittled and generally acted in a manner that one could only describe as cruel.
