Tiger Woods Crash: After Rachel Uchitel Meet Jaimee Grubbs
TIGER Woods Crash: Having introduced Elin Nodegren’s Kobe Grip And Rachel Uchitel’s denial, now hear from Jamiee Grubbs. Oh, nominative determinism is at it again.
Before we hear from Jaimee know that the Celebrity Police Force is to charge Tiger Woods with “careless driving” and failing to give them an autogaph.
Anorak’s Man in LA takes up the story of Ms Grubbs, Grubb Street’s new favourite date:
THE flood gates are open, and all of Tiger Woods’ mistresses are pouring out and into the public eye.

Prince Charles Creates Captions From Welsh Guards
WHAT is it about the Prince of Wales that makes every picture of him deliberately staged to attract an amusing caption? In these pictures the Prince unveils a painting of himself, during a visit to the base of 1st Battalion, Welsh Guards, in Aldershot, Hampshire. Charles and Camilla then presented medals to the troops. As you flick through the images, think of GM crops (picture 2), croquet mallets (picture 3) and a portrait sat alongside Charles pet begonia (picture 1). Feel free to suggest captions – you won’t be able to help yourself…

X Factor: JLS Met Sick Kids And Arsenal, In Pictures
WITH no group left standing on the X Factor, JLS have at last another season of fame in them. Today JLS appeared on the Rays of Sunshine Ward at King’s College Hospital, south London. The £1.8 million ward opened earlier this year to treat children with liver disease. Aston Merrygold (Matt Dawson in zoom), Oritse Williams, Marvin Humes and ‘JB’ smiled and had their photos taken with sickly children. The fame machine really is that cynical. But if one ill child can have their day improved, does the hideous PR and marketing-led brand building matter? No. (Look out for the child thinking that Great Ormond Street got Arsenal.) The pictures:

Ashlee Simpson-Wenzt In Her Chicago Broadway Debut, In Pictures
ANORAK’S Man in New York was there to see Ashlee Simpson-Wentz perform in Chicago the Musical on Broadway. So many actors, singers, reality TV stars have starred in the show that it must be Ashlee Simpson-Wentz’s turn. Ashlee has turned her hands to pretty much every showbiz trick in a bid for fame – she named her son Bronx Mowgli, spells her conventional name unconventionally, has a showbiz sister (the almost human-like inflatable doll Jessica Simpson), endured cosmetic surgery, lip-synched on the telly (she was unable to sing because of “acid reflux disease”) and starred in a serialised TV boast card about her life, where her acid reflux was one of the few things left unmentioned. Can musical theatre be the showbiz thing she’s good at? Here she is, in pictures:

Destiny's Child star Michelle Williams, Denise Van Outen, Claire Sweeney, Jill Halfpenny from EastEnders, Aoife Mulholland, a finalist from the BBC reality TV show How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?, Melanie Griffith, Kelly Osbourne and many more have appeared in Chicago the musical.

Susan Boyle Dances A Highland Fling for Tiger Woods, In Pictures
SUSAN Boyle Watch: First up in today’s Susan Boyle news is Sue Carroll. Fresh from writing on and on and on about how Katie Price is no longer newsworthy – oh, the irony – Carroll now links Susan Boyle to Tiger Woods. Has he, you know, been, you know with Susan Boyle..?
Sooner a fragile Susan Boyle, whose frailties are there for all to see, than a superstar forced to pretend his life is a bed of roses when he’s lying on thorns.
Susan Boyle is “fragile”? She looks pretty robust. Of course, Boyle being weak is the media narrative. Even when Susan Boyle looks happy and vibrant she must be weak.

Pete Doherty Brings Salutes For Germany’s Nazi Era
PETE Doherty is on stage in Munich, Germany, giving small throat to the first bars of the German National anthem. Bayern 2 picks up the music and broadcasts it. Rudi Küffner, a spokesman for Bayern 2’s parent company, Bayerischer Rundfunk.
Yeah, Rundfunk – those Germans are too much fun:
“With a quiet voice, he sang ‘Deutschland, Deutschland Über Alles’ (‘Germany, Germany Above All’) four times,” said “Then the audience booed him so loudly that he had to start another song.”

Katie Price Wants Alex Reid Back And Is ‘At It’ With Peter Andre
KATIE PRICE and Peter Andre, with special guest star Alex Reid: WHEN the Mirror’s Sue Carroll sniffed the air outside her lounge window and told readers that Katie Price’s “sad delusions” of being interesting or popular, she was bang on.
“So before Miss Price, Jordan, Katie or whatever she wants to call herself suffers any more sad delusions it should be made clear that the majority of the British people do not give a kangaroo’s testes about her.”
That majority read papers like the Sun, Mail, Times and Telegraph. an even bigger majority get their news on the web. But a minority do read the Daily Mirror and on its front page, they get a picture of Katie Price and the headline news:
“GET BACK WITH ALEX…MAYBE – TROUBLED KATIE OPENS HER HEART”

Susan Boyle Tops Sex Survey And Cracks Germany
SUSAN Boyle Watch: Susan Boyle tops sex survey, receives more insults and lowers her eyebrows and sings on German TV show ‘Menschen 2009’.
THE results are in and the Daily Sport can reveal that 70% of British men would “LANCE” Susan Boyle. Susan Boyle could surely weep – literally.
Jeff Hordan, who took part in the poll, said: “There are plenty of times you’d get drunk and go home with a fat moose from the local nightclub. So pulling a dodgy looking celeb is much-better in my book. I’d definitely bang Susan Boyle. She’s a bit rough but after a few pints I’d do her. A celeb is a celeb!”

The Killing Of Susan Boyle: TV Host Calls Susan Retarded
THE media’s destruction of Susan Boyle continues. News reaches us of New Zealand TV host Paul Henry describing Susan Boyle as “retarded” as he explains to viewerezzzz for the umpteenth time that Boyle was “starved of oxygen” at birth. No, she’s not dead.
And no, it’s not Paul Henry, who played mentally negligible motel gopher Benny in Crossroads. At least we think not. Although if anyone can spot an idiot it is surely the man who played him so convincingly.

Liam Gallagher Flogs His Pretty Green Clothes, In Pictures
OASIS singer Liam Gallagher has launched his new clothing range, Pretty Green, in Selfridges. Is this nominative determinism? Pretty Green… “You’d be pretty green to buy Liam Gallagher’s wardrobe when you can get the John Lennon look at an Army & Navy store. Still, here’s Liam plugging his schmutters in pictures – you can now pay a lot of money to look like Liam Gallagher trying to look like John Lennon:

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.

Tiger Woods: National Enquirer Claims Proof Of An Affair With Rachel Uchitel
TIGER Woods crashes his car. Elin Nordegren reacts with speed and a decent swing to save the day. Rachel Uchitel denies any involvement with Woods. And the National Enquirer says that there is more to the story.
That’s the National Enquirer, of which Uchitel says:
“I don’t appreciate my name or what people think of me being dragged through the mud by people who don’t even bother to research what or who they’re talking about … they should research who these stories are coming from, who they’re believing as a credible source. Not to mention that it’s in the National Enquirer.”
As we wrote, is this the National Enquirer that exposed John Edwards’ secret love child or the NE that says Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are breaking up nearly every week, a story the very famous are unlikely to challenge under law becuse to do so would dignify any claim and expose the stars to questions and intrusion?
But thus pricked, the NE reacts. Anorak hears from a source at the magazine who delivers this news:

X Factor: Rihanna’s Sharon Stone Impression, Simon Cowell’s Slip, Alicia Keys’ Talent And Lloyd Daniels’ Walk
X FACTOR results show: with aerated Stacey Solomon, contagious Olly Murs, Danyl Johnson with a ‘y’, ‘young Cliff Richard’ Joe McElderry and non-dancing, barely singing Lloyd Daniels.
“Don’t feel like dancing,” they sang. Danyl Johnson danced. Olly Murs danced. The others took the song as a confessional.
The show needs more padding than Simon Cowell’s face now there are only five singers left, so we get lots of walk and talk pieces to camera from the judges. Joe seems the favourite. But who goes?

Kate Moss’s Fridge And The Sugarplum Ball, In Pictures
THE Sugarplum Ball at the Natural History Museum, London was such fun.

Susan Boyle Does Not Have Cancer And Not Mentally Ill
SUSAN Boyle Watch: IN “Susan Boyle on life, fame & thumb sucking” the NoTW’s Douglas Wight shows that he reads Anorak and comments on those photos of “crying” Susan Boyle sucking her thumb – the ones the Mail used to illustrate Boyle’s troubled state of mind.
Susan Boyle is doing fine. Eyewitnesses tell Anorak the truth in the comments section. But still the NoTW can’t resist sticking to the narrative of Susie Simple, the woman on the edge of a precipice:
SOARAWAY superstar Susan Boyle last night insisted she’s NOT on the verge of cracking up and insisted: “I’m happy and doing fine.”
How caring of the NoTW to lead with not news of Boyle’s hit album but a no-news story that she is NOT mentally ill. Look out for other exclusives that Susan Bouyle is also NOT suffering from cancer, NOT murdered in a car bomb and NOT suffering from adult acne.

The Death Of Susan Boyle, In Pictures
SUSAN 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.”
