Jade Goody: Bono And Me

jig.jpgJADE Goody’s re-entry into celebrity society requires careful planning. She can either: a) marry an Indian; b) eat an Indian; c) return to the tried-and-tested Jade Goody brand and be thick.

So here’s Jade in a Dublin bar. A man approaches. “Hi Jade, how are you?” he asks. The Sun listens in. “I didn’t know who he was,” says Jade. “I knew he did loads for Live Aid, but that’s all.”

It was Bono, Mr G9. He’s Irish, like Bob Geldof, who did loads for Live Aid. Another Irishman approaches. It’s Westlife’s pocket popstar Shane Filan. “He told me they stick up for me,” says Jade.

“I thanked him in my best Irish accent. He wasn’t impressed.”

Never mind, Jade. It’s not your fault that all Irishman look the same, and we’re sure Paddy O’Poppadom won’t even understand…

Dear Marc Bannerman: A Note From Sarah Matravers

sarah-matravers.jpgONE thing even better than being a reality TV star is being the spurned lover of a reality TV star.

Victimhood is the preferred route for many fame hungry celebs – see: “I was bullied”; “I was edited to look bad”; “My bi-polar disorder” – and no-one screams “victim” like a spurned lover.

No, make that no-one screams “victim” like a spurned lover with an agent.

And in this week’s Grazia magazine Sarah Matravers unburdens herself.

When I’m A Celerity Get Me Out Of Here began, Ms Matravers was a model/actress living with former EastEnders’ waiter Marc Bannerman.

Now she is “devastated” model/actress Sarah Matravers, telling us how Marc told her he was “going to the jungle to make money for their future babies”. But instead the romance ended in a “very public betrayal” as Marc and fellow jungleist Cerys Matthews engaged in “intimate embraces in a hammock” and “loaded looks”.

“Thank God I’m not pregnant,” says Sarah. “I stopped using contraception in February…I wouldn’t be the kind of person to deny my kids a father, which means I’d be linked to this man for the rest of my life.”

Instead Sarah promises to be linked to Marc for the rest of her professional life, becoming known to millions of magazine readers and daytime telly viewers as “spurned lover Sarah Matravers”.

Now instead of carrying little Bannerman-Matravers, Sarah’s wondering if she’s carrying something else. “I’m going to have some tests in case I’ve caught anything… Yes, I’m going to have the full tests – for everything, including HIV.”
Marc, like the rest of us victim-hungry readers, awaits the results with a keen interest…

Britney Spears And Her ‘Diddy Men’

ken-dodd.jpgTHE Enquirer invites us within “BRIT’S CRAZY HOUSE!”

We will learn of “her double-locked secret room”, her “Cinderella obsession”; “what she keeps in the candy dish.”

The Enquirer risks spoiling the guessing game by whispering “pink handcuffs, ceiling mirrors & bizarre costumes”.

To Britishers, it is the stuff of a hen night in one of Basildon’s premier nightspots. To the Enquirer it is nothing short of a “madhouse”.

“Heavy dark curtain” cover the windows of the secret chamber, “and the only light comes from bordello red bulbs, which barely illuminate the back colour scheme and the large bed with black satin sheets.”

britney-spears-bald-400a030207.jpgdodd_lg_1.jpgPeering through the keyhole, we are introduced to the whips, spanking paddles, sex toys (these ‘Diddy Men’ are displayed in a glass jar) and “ticklers”.

The impression is not enough unlike finding Ken Dodd in your bed – disarming, amusing and terrifying in equal parts.

It’s an image firmed up by news that recently Britney passed an entire day speaking in a “weird British accent.”

How tickled we are…

Amy Winehouse: A Moving Tribute

amy_winehouse-pretty.jpg“AS a junkie Amy deserves scorn,” says the Mail’s front-page teaser, words illustrated by picture of Amy Winehouse in a red bra, “but surely someone can help this infuriatingly talented singer?”

Mail readers may like to volunteer their services. So too the paper’s writers: “I’m no snob but Amy Winehouse is from the gutter and might be flogged in Sudan,” (Max Hastings); “Pop’s guttering cynosure Winehouse needs more fatty oats” (Quentin Letts); and “Aimless Winehouse is going to hell in a handcart and she’s taking the rest of us with her”.

One thing Winehouse needs no help with is keeping her profile raised. In the Mirror, readers hear from Georgette Fielder-Civil, Winehouse’s mother-in-law. Says Georgette: “She is using more cocaine and heroin. She needs professional help.” Georgette reaching out to Amy via the pages of Closer magazine, “Number 1 for Rehab News”.

“Amy Move-house,” says the Sun, noting that Winehouse has “fled” her home in Camden, London, to move into new home in Bow, London.

This is a big move for Winehouse. And it may well have been the kind of thing a Mail reader advises. It could just be the short, sharp shock she needs…

Lily Allen Quote Of The Day

Lily Allen Quote Of The Day, as told to GQ magazine: “A lot of that stuff I said was because I didn’t feel confident. I felt like, ‘Oh God, I’m short, fat, ugly…and I hate all these people who flaunt their beauty.’ Ever since a kid I’ve felt like I’m possibly the uncoolest, naffest person ever to walk the earth. But I feel great at the moment. I actually don’t have one bad thing to say about anything.”

Until tomorrow, that is…

When Al Gore Meets Jon Bon Jovi

al-gore-bon-jovi.jpg“JON Bon Jovi has spent two hours with ex-us vice-president Al Gore, fuelling speculation he is planning to run for political office.”

So says the Mirror.

With Sean Penn trumpeting Hugo Chavez, Bono billed a Mr “G9” and Gordon Brown using the Arctic Monkeys to validate his politics, pop stars hold sway over our lives.

They are the establishment, the grandees to whom we kowtow and on whose every word we hang.

So right it is that Al Gore should consult with Jon ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ Bon Jovi to see if he should go for it.

Unless Bon Jovi’s standing for office? But that would be one hell of a come down…

Jungle Survivor Janice Dickinson Wants To Eat Dec Up

janice-dickinson-stick-insect.jpgFRESH from the celebrity jungle, Nip ‘n’ Bush Tucker stalwart Janice Dickinson tells Sun readers: “Dec is so hot. I want to put him a thong and play wild games with him. Grrowl!”

Dec is, of course, one smallish part of Ant ‘n’ Dec (although which is uncertain), who host I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Considering the dimensions of Dec – did Janice say a sarcastic Grrow or Grrowl? -and the size of Dickinson’s toothsome maw, there is a real danger that the jungle could have a cannibalistic element.

Forget the cockroaches and the kangaroo’s gonads, Janice is going to chew up Dec and, very possibly, spit him out.

As such we urge readers to be on the look out for celebrities who have shared the jungle clearing with Dickinson, namely: Bannerman (Marc), Brown (Jason), Franks (Lynne), Hopkins (Katie), Race (John Barton) and many, many more…

We fear we shall never see them again…

Shoeless Amy Winehouse Shows Her Respect For Victoria Beckham

amy-winehouse-posh.jpg“POSH: I WANT YOU TO FAINT!” says the Star, words hung above a picture of Victoria Beckham applying mascara, to her eyes.

The Spice Girls, of which Vicky is one fifth, or perhaps a seventh if you approach from alternative angles, have launched their reunion tour, as all old bands must.

And here is Victoria calling on us to faint. She is at Vancouver airport. She sees the fans. Says Victoria: “They were in tears, I always like that. I think it shows you are a true fan when you cry or pass out.”

We feel a tear brewing in the corner of one eye. But our meltdown is delayed by the sight of a shoeless Amy Winehouse in her bra and jeans wandering the London streets.

This is the Sun’s front page “Amy’s 5am cry for help”. She’s the Mirror’s “6am girl – AMY BRA SHOCK.”

Inside the Mirror, readers see two pictures of the singer and are encouraged to note that Amy’s bra is less full than it once was. And that is no small shock, a disappointment, surely. “YOU’LL CATCH YOUR DEATH,” say the Sun, spotting Amy at 5:40.

While tabloid editors wonder if 5:40am is closer to 6am or 5am, and which makes for the better front-page sensation, we look again.

And we realise that what looks like a cry for help is surely just Ms Winehouse paying heed to Victoria Beckham’s words.

Says Vicky: “When the paramedics are called, I think that is a good sign; it shows real determination as a fan…”

Jordan, Harvey And Cheap Shots In Heat And OK!

celebrity-magazine.jpg“FURY OVER JIBE AT JORDAN’S SON!” says the Sunday Express.

The news: a picture in Heat magazine of Katie Andre pulling disabled and blind son Harvey towards her gigantic Jordans came equipped with a sticker bearing the legend “Harvey wants to eat me”.

How you interpret the line may depend on how you view celebrity.

Or whether you publish a magazine called OK!, in which Jordan appears each week to update us on Harvey’s health and share sticky-fingered anecdotes of a sex life with her pop acorn husband Peter Andre.

Says the Express, owned by Richard Desmond, who owns OK!: “It faced losing readers in droves after dozens of complaints to the Press Complaints Commission. Not only did the publication of a sticker ridiculing five-year-old Harvey attract widespread disgust and condemnation, it sent shock waves through the City, where the struggling group is being touted for sale.”

The struggling group is the Emap media conglomerate. “The furore heaped more trouble on Emap chairman Alan Cathcart, presiding over the group’s break-up amid falling sales and accusations that the board has lost its way and lost confidence,” notes the Sunday Express.

The paper is outraged and disgusted. It would not use a sickly child to sell magazines and score low points. This is a new low in British journalism.

Says Jordan: “They are making out Harvey is fat because he is greedy and eats all the time… In fact his size is down to his thyroid not working properly. He needs special medication every day just to keep him going. So if they attack my son because of his size, which is a result of his disability, they’re actually attacking him because he is disabled. What are they going to mock him for next – the colour of his skin?”

Harvey is dark-skinned, the product of a romance between footballer Dwight Yorke (black) and Jordan (orange)…

The Common People: Sharon Osbourne And Ozzy Present Brit Awards

ozzy-osbourne.jpgWITH the fans – and sons and daughters of record executives – kept apart from their pop heroes by bouncers, limousine and wire, we read with some joy that this season’s Brit Awards will be presented by Sharon Osbourne and her vibrating husband Ozzy.
No-one is more au fait with the common touch than Sharon, whose love of supermarket own brand ketchup and Bingo enthusiasm ensure she is loved by the masses, with whom she empathises.

“Ozzy and I are proud to be Brits,” says Sharon, star of the Osbourne’s Los Angeles-based TV show in the Sun.

And we proud of them for being proud of us and our country.

It’s been a long time coming. And not since the heady days of stage diving have two commoners shared stage space with our humble and respectful pop gods…

David Beckham Labours In Nicole Kidman’s New Film

david-beckham-phone-1.pngDAVID Beckham’s post-football career is causing Nicole Kidman to make notes.

Advertising perfumes and mobile phones is just fine if you are as jobbing footballer with match sweat to wash away and agents to call. But can a non-playing Beckham command the same marketing space?

In Australia, Nicole Kidman is due to star in Baz Lurhmann’s new film in which a British aristocrat falls in love with a rugged Australian.

We know, the aristo should be Her Poshness. But what with her acting and prior engagements Nicole Kidman gets the nod. Hugh Jackman plays Mick Dundee.

And, as the Star reports, David Beckham gets a part as a “hunky builder”.

It’s nothing shot of genius. (Kidman’s brain training is paying off.) Who uses their mobiles more than a builder? Who builds up a bigger sweat on the job?

And to top the lot, who presents their employees with a massive bill for what on the face of it appears as minimal work?

Bring it on…

Stephen King, TMZ, Britney Spears And Pakistan

stephen-king.jpgAS Tabloid Baby writes from LA on Stephen King, Britney Spears and Pakistan:

Novelist Stephen King went after the mainstream media for following the lead of the corporate porn-pushing gossip site TMZ.com in covering inconsequential Britney Spears and Kanye West stories when “meanwhile, you’ve got Pakistan in the midst of a real crisis, where these people have nuclear weapons that we helped them develop. You’ve got a guy in charge, who’s basically declared himself the military strongman and is being supported by the Bush administration, whose raison d’etre for going into Iraq was to spread democracy in the world.”

And:

The Whitehouser news site gets more specific – and almost gets the terminology down (it’s “corporate porn-pushing gossip site,” though for now, “porn-peddling” will do):

“I’m glad Stephen King is busting the media’s chops on the issue, because it’s out of control. I’ll give one example of the latest ‘hot’ website turned TV show, that peddles the porn I described above. TMZ is a disgusting TV show, complete and utter garbage, and yet it frequently cited alongside other “credible sources” by CNN and FOX on the latest ‘breaking news’. The fact that these so-called authorities in journalism are citing a celebrity porn site– may as well be– as frequently as they do, is telling of the direction of American ‘culture’ and ‘truth’ in journalism.”

 And that’s not an attack on tabloid. Good tabloid covers the war.

See what democracy gives you, Pakistan.

Of course, Britney Spears has featured in the War on Terror. It was Muhammed Abdel-Al, leader of Palestinian terror group the Popular Resistance Committees, who opined: “If I meet those whores I will have the honour to be the first one to cut the heads off Madonna and Britney Spears if they keep spreading satanic culture against Islam.”

Such is the way of free speech…

There Goes Lewis Hamilton And Naomi Campbell

naomi-campbell.jpgLEWIS Hamilton is with Naomi Campbell.

Lewis is one of our “best loved sportsmen” (see all media), whereas Ms Campbell once topped a poll for the Most Hated Person is Britain and is famed for throwing hissy fits and telephones.

Hamilton’s celebrity could be better served were he to step out with Cherie Blair, Anthea Turner or Myra Hinley.

As the Mail points out, Campbell is 15 years older than Hamilton and full four inches taller, not counting heels (his or hers).

Neither age nor height need be a factor in any relationship between the two, a fillip encouraged by angled views of Tom Cruise (who, incidentally, played a racing car driver in Days Of Thunder) and Katie Holmes.

And the tabloid press are hoping that Hamilton and Campbell make a go of it. “Grand prix ace Lewis vrooms of with Naomi,” says the Express on its cover page. “Lewis, Naomi and a very speedy exit.”

It is clear that the two promise to tap into a rich seam of headlines and puns. “SPEED DATE,” says the Mirror. “He’s a fast mover.” And: “Now there’s one cheerleader you’d want in your pit.”

“F1 LEWIS IS IN PULL POSITION,” says the Star.

“And they’re off!” say we…

David Beckham’s Waxing On The Wane

biggins.jpgWITH David Beckham nearing the end of his football playing career, the world of waxing needs a new spokesman.

Step forward Chris Biggins, the I’m A Celebrity jungle camper. Says he, as heard by the Sun: “I sugar. It’s a bit like a jelly and a bit like waxing but easier and they put it on and the hairs just come off.” Biggins sounds good enough to eat.

“It’s an old Egyptian thing and I go to a guy in Soho and he sugars my back and he sugars the hair from my nostrils and he sugars my crack and, yeah, it’s good.”

The market will, as ever, be the judge of that. And it remains to be seen how Beckham will react ot the challenge.

A back, sack and crack merchant, Beckham has yet to move into nasal hair. But with age catching up with him, he just might…

Perez Hilton: Show Me Your Celebrity Porn And…

perez-hilton.jpgTHE Perez Hilton blog features the image of a celebrity’s penis. “You can Photoshop it all you want, honey. We know you have a puny peen!” says the “influential” blogger.

(Journalists like to think of Perez Hilton as being “influential” because the word helps them justify browsing the web for stories.)

But Perez will not last. It is the Ninth Rule of Tabloid Journalism that no mention of a celebrity’s penis should ever be made by a hack. If the question must be asked, it has to be treated with tact and schoolboy humour, such as “Is he long in the shower?” or referring to his swimming trunks as “Budgie Smugglers”.

The celebrity’s former wife or lover can say whatever they choose of their man but in doing so they run the risk of being made to look even smaller, or overly big. Both are best avoided.

Ingrid Tarrant, spurned wife to TV host Chris Tarrant, told the press that her husband suffered from “erectile dysfunction” and needed Viagra when he was with her in bed. We made our own conclusions.

And model Heidi Klum recently regaled Oprah Winfrey with a story of how she first clapped eyes on Seal: “I met him in a hotel lobby in New York City and he came in just from the gym and I was sitting there and I was, like, wow. And I pretty much saw everything. The whole package.”

No enlargement on the matter is required. Unless you are a celebrity blogger, in which case you should point and laugh and show the celebrity’s penis to the world.

And hope that one day when you have achieved your mission and become as famous as they on whom you feed, your sticky fingered Priapism doesn’t come back to bite you on the bum…

JR Shot Her: Britney Spears Is Pregnant

britney-spears-pregnant.jpgOVER in the US, In Touch Weekly magazine reports that Britney Spears is with child.

Not Preston or Jayden, obviously – Unfitney is a nickname earned by matters of recorded testimony.

Britney is with an embryonic Spears – an inner Spears.

The father is not K-Ferret but said to be one J.R. Rotem, a “record producer”.

When asked if it was true. JR replied “It’s true”.

So here’s to the world celebrating the arrival of a bald-headed, crying, spewing, demanding Spears.

And a baby…

Hollywood’s Most Hated: Paris Hilton Hates…

donald-trump.jpg“WHO HATES WHO IN HOLLYWOOD!” says the National Enquirer’s front page. It’s “ALL NEW”.

It has the makings of a regular feature, and one that should prove to be popular.

There are pictures of Oprah Winfrey, Kid Rock, Paris Hilton, Andy Dick, Rosie
O’Donnell and Tommy Lee.

We’d wager that Oprah hates Kid hates Paris hates Andy hates Rosie hates Tommy hates Oprah.

Or it might be that Kid hates Andy hates Oprah hates Tommy hates Paris hates Rosie hates Kid.

Inside and we learn that Dick hates Jon Lovitz; Rosie hates Donald Trump; Tommy hates Kid; and someone called Donny Bonaduce hates Jonny Fairplay, whose teeth he has, reportedly, damaged.

The most hated celebrity will only become clear once the feature has been running for a few weeks. It will then transfer to TV and appear as Channel 4s 100 Most Hated By People in Hollywood and one Of The 100 Most Hated Programme of all time…

Spice Girls: Victoria Beckham’s Past It Double

victoria-beckhams-breasts.jpgTHE Spice Girls are reforming and the Mirror spots them at the Dancing With The Stars show, USA.

“TOUR HAS BEEN TANGO’D,” says the paper. And we look at the pictures of Sporty, Posh, Baby and Geri and wonder that the paper is not being a little cruel. Granted Geri is a little gingery and her Poshness is a light vermillion. But tango?

As Mel B says: “We have this little tango section so we can show off our stuff. Me and Emma were quite obviously pleased to get that in.”

It may have escaped your notice that Mel B is in the American show and Emma was once a contestant on British Strictly Come Dancing.

You can imagine the frisson of excitement as Emma and Mel B look on, sleeves pulled taught over mouths as Posh is invited to stand chest-to-chest with Geri, snap her head and move her feet.

And what of that Posh chest? The Mail takes a look and wonders: “Are Posh’s assets going south?” Are Posh’s dance partners flying down to Rio, so to speak, or sliding off to Buenos Aires, home to the aforementioned Tango?

Um Bonko: Sex In The I’m A Celebrity Jungle

im-a-celebrity.jpg“CELEBS CAUGHT HAVING SEX IN JUNGLE – Hot scenes ITV dare not show.”

Some confusion on the Star’s front page where the shocker that stars in the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! clearing are scaring the creatures is met with the line that the locals are “sex starved”.

How can they be sex-starved and at it like kangaroos? Are they doing it wrong?

Perhaps the Star has yet to view the “X-rated” scenes it says “jungle bosses” have censored.

All Star readers have to go on is a shot of actor/singer/model/TV chef Marc Bannerman (left) stood under a showery waterfall with singer/actress/model/room-make-over technician Cerys Matthews (right).

An arrow points to the Bannerman groin (“OOP! HARD GOING: Marc has the hots for Cerys”), and we learn of Cerys’ “sensational confession” that he told her that he was “randy”.

Marc has left the how. But Cerys can be seen eating kangaroo gonads later…

Amy Winehouse Is… Troubled-Sad-The Rehab Singer

amy-winehouse-no-no-no.pngAMY Winehouse has cancelled her tour, or “pulled the plug” as the Times notes on its front page.

Winehouse is “sad” (Times), “Miss” (Mail), “Troubled” (Star, Express and Sun), “The Rehab singer” (Mirror), and the American “Wreckamess” (Disney’s TMZ website).

It is clear that Winehouse needs a decent epithet. Just as “rubber-faced” precedes Rowan Atkinson and “troubled” is shorthand for Britney Spears – and now adopted by the less imaginative press for Winehouse (press F9) – the singer needs a keyword.

And then there is the Winehouse headline. Take the Times’ front-page legend: “No, no, no. Sad Winehouse pulls plug on her tour.”

Winehouse might me in meltdown, on her way to rehab, but then so would you be if whenever you opened your mouth someone said “No, no, no”. (You can already foresee the anti-drugs campaign.)

But some papers are at least trying. The Daily Sport brings “THEY’VE ALL GOT IT INF-AMY!” Admittedly, this headline has been created and the story of a “bitter family feud” written for it. But it shows imagination.

But the spoils go to the Star which says Winehouse has cancelled her tour because she misses her incarcerated husband, Blake Fielder-Civil. The headline: “LONELY AMY’S BLAKE-DOWN.”

Not a full “Yes, yes, yes” from us. But the signs are encouraging…

The full Winehouse

Why Victoria Beckham Reformed The Spice Girls

WANT to know why “Victoria Beckham reformed the Spice Girls”? The Sun asks the question.

The Spice Girls were and still are the pop feminists that set out to show girls and curious boys that if you really, really want it, it doesn’t matter if you can’t sing and can’t dance, you can still get it.

As David Beckham, the so-called Sixth Spice, reveals: “She says all our boys know what Daddy does [see new Motorola Razor advert]…but they have never seen what Mummy used to do.”

Far be it from us to add the chorus of advisors who shape the Beckhams, but this might be something best left alone. Victoria might like to buy or rent a DVD or visit YouTube and show her sons videos of what mummy used to do.

Most mums embarrass their children by performing badly or too well at the mum’s race on school sports day, voicing an opinion or beginning a sentence with “Can I talk to you?”

Victoria Beckham is breaking new ground.

The young Beckhams should just know that what Mummy did then is pretty much what Mummy has always done, albeit with her hand of Geri Halliwell’s knee…

As Mummy once opined: “If you want my future, forget my past…”
