X Factor 2010: How The Bullying Sun Turned Katie Waissel Into The Underdog We Love

KATIE Waissel is not the most dislikeable X Factor product. That one usually wins or gets to sit in judgement. Waissel, who worked at OK!, mingled with BMG supremos, knows Sharon Osbourne (see judges) and Dermot O’Leary’s manager, and opened for East 17 is no mere plucky amateur.

But these facts and her uttering the line, “I just want to be a legend. I want to create a legacy and that’s what I will do” does not mean she must be hated.

Indeed, the pressure piled on Katie Wassiel is such that if it can be cranked up Our Katie can be the show’s underdog and thus become a firm favourite with the UK voting public. Bullying is the X Factor buzzword and, perversely, if Katie can be a victim, she can survive.

Already Joe McElderry, Daryl Johnson and Alex Reid have come out in support of Katie. They care. And they want you to know it.

READHow The X Factor And Sony BMG Fixed It For Katie Waissel, aka Katie Vogel

But can Katie be made to look more hateful? Here’s Sharon Hendry in the Sun. This is the “dark side of Katie”, the “fame junkie”.

Katie, we learn, has a “supreme self-belief that belies her age – and ability.”

In short, Katie is ambitious and confident. And the tabloids hate ambitious young British women. Hendry wonders:

So what has instilled such incredible self-confidence in someone aged just 24? And why is Waissel so desperate to be worshipped?

Dunno, Sharon. Maybe she wants to do well and has self-belief? And as for her being worshipped, let’s not underplay it, Sharon. Let’s not build up Katie into an even bigger wannabe than she already is and make her look like a cross between Violet Elizabeth Bott, Anthea Turner and Cherie Blair.

Says Sharon:

At first glance there is nothing in her apparently stable, middle-class upbringing that lends itself to such intense self belief

Middle -class and stable?! Where’s the story in that, eh? Unless, you look at, say, Madonna or Lady Gaga who both had good homes. And this is all it is – a glance. Because Katie’s family will not speak with Sharon Hendry. Or as the investigate reporter who offers readers “a glance” at the facts, puts it:

Katie’s glamorous mum Diana is less forthcoming with information, already rudely dismissing journalists.

The X Factor 2010: Where You’ve Seen The Fix Factor Finalists Before

Would this be the same Diana Waissel who told a journalist at Heat magazine:

“She (Katie) may come across as annoying, but she just wants to stand out. She’s learning to handle the criticism. It would be difficult for anyone to take, but the more she receives, the more she’s having to get used to it.”

The same Diana Waissel who writes into the media, in this case the Harrow Observer, to offer her views on a Starbucks in the area:

diana waissel said:
we think that starbucks has improved the passing trade to the high street and brought the community together its better than having another empty shop as there are many closing down

The same Diana Waissel who tells one and all:

“I don’t want that to happen to Katie. She is a team player and a lovely girl. She has a very supportive family. We don’t like all these bullying tactics.”

How rude of Diana Waissel not to want to talk to Henry, a woman adapting an old story who calls her daughter names in print. Shame on her.

Still, one that brighter note, lots more of it and Katie will be the nation’s favourite…

Sir Cliff Richard At 7O: A Life In Pictures

SIR Cliff Richard is 70. The irrepressible singer reached three score years and ten. What’s been Cliff’s high point? Being knighted? Reaching the top of the hit parade in three different centuries, once with a timpani? Selling over 150 million singles? Falling out of favour with Chris Evans. We’ve pulled together a large photo history of Cliff’s career to date. Fans will love the pictures. Non-fans will appreciate the historical tinges and staging…

Best Of Greater Manchester Police Tweets: Woman Leaves Cannabis By Till

GREATER Manchester Police are tweeting their day. The first round-up of Bobbies On the Tweet is here.

Readers Karen writes:

I’m glad this is only for one day. I can’t stop reading them. The number of accidental 999 calls from mobiles or kids playing with phones is unbelievable – as is the number of silent calls. I’ve read one Tweet saying it was the 22nd 999 call from the same mobile number so I guess they can’t trace it unless they break the law by making a hoax call or threatening them.

Tonight there’s been loads of reports of kids throwing fireworks about so no wonder they hate shops selling them too early for bonfire night – it must be a nightmare to have to follow up all the calls.

A few more unusual ones:

call 1912 Call from confused man who said he had been drinking and just woken up. Patrol not needed. Salford #gmp24

call 1931 Verbal abuse from a woman about dogs, Wigan #gmp24

Commonwealth Games 2010 Closing Ceremony Photos: No-One Died

COMMONWEALTH Games 2012: No one died. No one was sucked down a drain in the swimming pool when two people in the athletes’ village / sink estate flushed the toilet at the same time.

Australia won lots of gold medals for swimming. England became rebranded as Team England and gave full throat to Jerusalem, a song that calls for England to be split by religion-fired fighting between the natives and patronised by Jeremy Bowen.

Indian fans stayed at home – although not the Indian soldiers with the impressive moustaches. Lots of people played pipes in public. And the Seychelles tonked it bitter rivals Tonga in the medals table…

The London Olympics has very little to live up to. Thank fuck for the Commonwealth…

Mukesh Ambani’s Home Big Enough For India’s Olympic Village

MUKESH Ambani’s house in Mumbai is called Antilia. It costs £630, has 27 storeys, a 50 seat cinema, a ballroom, a roof garden with an actual roof high enough to accommodate trees and has parking for 160 cars. It is less a home than it is a district.

It is hideous, a carbuncle in a sprawling city of low-rise squalor and flashy new money.

Should India follow its Commonwealth Games efforts with a successful bid for the Olympics, they could stage it in Ambani’s home and forgo any need for a new stadium.

Meow Meow: Rebecca Cardwell Was Killed By Government’s Failed Drugs Policy And Greed

MEOW Meow: Yesterday we told you that Rebecca Cardwell, 19, died after a taking a combination of four drugs she and four friends bough in a £25 wrap. At Burnley magistrates’ court Pathologist Dr Abdul Al-Dawoud says the mephedrone in her system was more than “three times the normal level for recreational use”.

The papers all fully agree that meow meow killed Rebecca Cardwell. It was not the other three drugs nor the combined effects of all four that killed her. It was meow meow, that headline–making drug the outgoing Labour government hastily banned in a bid to look tough.

No-one died from mephedrone before the ban. When it was legal it could be bought over the counter. The punters knew it was toxic but knew what toxins they were buying. On its own, meow meow has not killed anyone. Now, you buy it and take your chances.

The powders Miss Cardwell took contained mephedrone, benzylapiperazine (BZP), trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP) and amphetamines. The coroner says the cause of death as the toxic effect of all four substances.

Gordon Smart ‘Stole’ My Tweet: Sun Journalist Caught Out On Twitter

THE Chile Miners sensation is a chance to see how journalism works and how desperate the tabloids are to remain relevant in the face of electronic media.  The Sun’s Gordon Smart – the paper’s showbiz hack – will take your tweets and then seem to pass them off as his own.

One week on from the Sun’s TV editor Lucy Connelly taking our story about X Factor singer Katie Waissell’s link to BMG records and Sharon Osbourne and sticking it on the tabloid’s front page without a single mention of Anorak– and, yep, she called and said that she would – Gordon Smart seems to have stolen a man’s Tweet.

Photos Of Democrat Politician Krystal Ball Sucking A Dildo Strapped To A Man’s Face

KRYSTAL Ball sounds like David Beckham’s fortune teller. But she’s a Democrat running for Congress in Virginia’s first district, a Republican hold. And to pave the way for career in big politics she’s sucking a small red dildo her husband has strapped to the end of his nose. This is how you get ahead in politics in Italy. But will it work in the USA?

When the photos emerged, Ball was aghast and affronted:

“I’m angry at the way women in this country are unfairly treated in this regard when they step up and run for office.”

When Winston Churchill strapped a pomegranate to his wife’s face and scooped out the seeds with his tongue, no-one thought any the worse of him. When Mahmoud Ahamdinejad, allegedly, shared a cucumber with an associate, he was patted on the back. Had Stalin sucked off a penis stuck to Roosevelt’s nose, we’d not cared.

Double standards, indeed. But you might suppose that someone called Krystal Ball would have seen the trouble coming when she posed for the photos. But no. As she says:

“They wanted me to feel like a whore. They wanted me to collapse in a ball of embarrassment and to hang my head in shame.”

Linda Norgrove: What Really Happened To The Killed British Aid Worker

LINDA Norgrove: the 36-year-old British aid worker captured by the Taliban died in failed rescue attempt. She was being held in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley when US special forces launched their raid. She had been held for 13 days. She was working for a US aid agency called Development Alternatives. Over 150 US Navy Seals went in. Linda Norgrove was an important figure.

And then..? The story goes that she was either killed by a grenade thrown into the compound by the US forces or a kidnapper detonating a suicide vest.

What happened?

Says David Cameron

“It’s a judgment, it’s a balance. I will go over in my own mind 100 times whether it was the right decision, but I believe it was.”

The Tabloid Agenda

Says the Mirror:

We do not for a second doubt the anguish of the Prime Minister, who supported a rescue attempt because he was told the British aid worker’s life was in serious danger.”

Well, only a nutter with an agenda would call Cameron a liar. But good of the anti-Cameron Mirror to suggest Cameron is a liar and then dismiss the claim. Nice.

And further to the Left on the pages of the World Socialist Worker:

Cameron’s statement points to a deliberate cover-up by the Pentagon, with the aid of the US puppet regime in Afghanistan. The only question unanswered is whether the British government was also in the know from the start, or was, in the words of the Telegraph, treated “like an ill-informed and gullible patsy by our chief allies in the world”. The first scenario is the more likely.

The Soldier: Colonel Richard Kemp

* Whether she was killed by a Taliban suicide vest or a US grenade, Linda Norgrove died because extremist killers seized her with the intention of exploiting her for propaganda then butchering her.

X Factor 2010: Wagner Fiuza Carrilho Is The Cheryl Cole Antidote We Crave

X FACTOR 2010: Can Wagner Fiuza Carrilho save the show and break up the PR-led onslaught on record sales and the Cheryl Cole bandwagon that encourages us to see all sorts of wonder and talent in the lip-syncing singer that just isn’t there?

Can Wagner save us from Cher Lloyd, the Dot Cotton Team America action figure who has split the nation – there are those who think she’s overrated, overhyped and not all that likeable and then there is Cheryl Cole. Who will win? And this is Cheryl who rejected Gamu and doesn’t like the likeable Nicolo.

Can Wagner save us from Katie Waissel, who appeared to have lost a fight with Zhandra Rhodes’ wardrobe and a croupier? She stood behind a keyboard she didn’t seem to be playing and sang We Are The Champions in the manner of one of the those Wembley Stadium warm up singers whom football fans hate.

Mariah Carey’s Massive Pussy Photoshop In Saudi Arabia: Photos

SAUDI Arabia’s Photoshop Council Of Faith and Morals has altered Mariah Carey’s album covers to make them less sexy. The backside is covered in pantaloons; the top is no longer halter neck but a polo shirt; the pussy is massive and furry…

Thankfully, truth outs and Mariah’s skin remains as flawless as Mother Teresa’s conscience and her arms tighter than a Jonas brother backstory…

The X Factor’s Big PR Stunt: Why Gamu Nhengu Is The New Wispa Bar

X FACTOR 2010: Gamu Nhengu did not make the final 12 and will not get to sing in the live show. But because the X Factor is the most manipulative, conniving show on the telly, Gamu will sing on the live shows.

When Simon Cowell told the singers that there are “no second chances”, they might have thought he meant it. But that was before he chose Niall, Harry, Zian, Liam and Louis to be a boy band called 1 Direction (aka Five Do Justin Bieber’s hair) and Esther, Sophie, Geneva and Rebecca were mushed into a blancmange of an act called Belle Amie.

And the no second chances rule will help Gamu because she’s the favourite to get a second chance as a “wildcard” entry.

The wildcard system works simply like this. The X Factor cans a few of the less terrible singers and then sits back and waits for a media shitstorm as the fans clamour for their favourite’s recall. The four acts who create the most online buzz get the nod. And that means Gamu is in.

It’s PR speak it’s known as the Wispa Method.

It is the ultimate social media PR trick. A company threatens to pull a brand and then sits back and watches as fans start huge Facebook/Twitter/blog campaign to save it.

Tiger Woods Presents The Greatest Golf Photo Ever: Cigar Dude

Andy Coulson: The ‘Illegal Phone Tap Transcripts’

I HAVE a feeling that David Cameron’s chief spinner, Andy Coulson, will be soon exiting Number 10.

He resiliently continues to claim that as a one-time News of the World editor he knew nothing of the illegal phone tapping of various politicians and celebs that plagued the paper on his watch.

There is no evidence that Coulson is a liar. But some media commentators are doubtful (eg Andrew Neil, Roy Greenslade); anyone who knows anything about newspapers raises a proverbial fan to hide their smirks.

X Factor 2010: Cher Lloyd’s Mental ‘Breakdown’ Is A Public Sport

THE X FACTOR: News is that Cher Lloyd, the Dot Cotton Team America action figure who was once excluded from school for a fight and whose family are Malvern’s version of The Dingles, is “fragile”.

It’s Boot Camp, also known as the Weeping Zone. And Cher is shedding a tear. No, she’s not weeping for the nations and the sick – she’s not Cheryl Cole yet.

The Sun says the 17-year-old is “feared to be close to a breakdown”. One teenager’s mental wellbeing is front-page news.

Cheryl Cole (NSFW)

No less than two Sun writers – Jen Blackburn and Lucy Connolly – were watching telly and saw Cher fail to sing her song before Cheryl Cole and Will.I.Am.

Nonetheless, Cher is through to the show’s live rounds.

No fewer than three unnamed expects are lined up to wonder if Cher will go bonkers. An expert from Rethink, a mental health charity, says “NO!” Another expert from Kidscape says “YES!” An expert from MIND says getting Cher a counsellor is gladdening.

None of the unnamed experts are doctors of psychiatrists. They are all just representatives of organisations. But, still, guessing about Cher’s “breakdown” is now a public sport. Anyone can play.

Madeleine McCann: Kate McCann Returns To Pray In Portugal With Much Anguish

MADELEINE  McCann: The McCanns have a new team of detectives working in Portugal, and that news coincides with the fact that Kate McCann has returned to Portugal “to pray”.

Dominic Herbert writes:

KATE McCann made a solitary pilgrimage this weekend to the Portuguese resort where her daughter went missing “for emotional reasons and to pray for Madeleine”.

As ever, private grief becomes public spectacle. The story is no longer about a missing child and hard facts but a sign of God’s testing love for one woman.

Yesterday morning the anguished mum went to the Nossa Senhora da Luz church, five minutes walk from the flat where the McCanns holidayed in May 2007. Kate is staying with Praia da Luz’s Anglican priest Father Haynes Hubbard and his wife.

You can excuse the NoTW is breathless style and focus on Kate McCann. After three years of being invited to watch the orchestrated mourn porn, we feel that we’ve invested a lot of time in story that has had no pay off. Kate McCann continues to look “anguished” and Our Maddie continues to be missing.

And it is always the anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish; anguish and anguish.

Nothing has changed. The story of a missing child packaged for out entertainment by a voracious media is stuck…

Mum And Lover Who Taped Child To Wall Jailed: Photos

JAYLA Hamm and Corde Honea are in jail. The two are convicted of taping a 22-month-old child to a wall at their Lincoln, Nebraska, home with duct tape. It is Jayla’s child. Mum is 18. Corde is her lover.

They are young enough to be the child’s brother and sister – and this is the kind of domestic torture usually reserved for feuding siblings.

The pair also taped the child’s cup to the wall – just beyond his reach. The pictures show that the child’s hands appear to be taped closed into a fist.

Irma Nici Linked To Tiger Woods As Madam Defends Beckham: Photos

IRMA Nici and David Beckham update time now, readers. Having decided for whatever reason that Irma Nici is a liar, the Sun seeks to confirm it by sharing a few words with Michelle Braun, a madam.

Says Michelle:

If he had been hiring call girls and sleeping around in America, I would have heard about it.”

Every time a prostitute shags a famous name, Michelle Braun gets informed, either by a Post It note or a “ping” via the Trans-Atlantic Report System (TART)?

You can trust Braun, who was once sentenced to three years probation and six months house arrest for money laundering and moving a tart across state lines “for purposes of prostitution”.

And if that wasn’t all the facts you needed to damn Irma Nici, Braun goes on to say:

“Beckham has never been involved with working girls. He is too goody two-shoes for that.”

Well, there is not proof that he has. The story is based on the word of Irma Nici and nothing more. Although another madam, one Kirstin Davis, supports Irma’s story.

Anyhow, what about the facts. Who is Braun? The Sun’s Pete Samson tells us:

Braun says she supplied escorts, including Loredana Jolie, to…Tiger Woods.

That would be good two-shoes Tiger Woods, the man who right up until he was caught allegedly cheating on his wife with loadsa women was presented as being so clean he passed soap?

4chan’s Operation Payback Is A Bitch For ACS:Law, BT And You

‘OPERATION Payback Is a Bitch’ is 4chan’s /b/ board targeting of ACS:Law. ACS: Law go after so-called web pirates downloading music, videos and games.

4chan members, who seem to know a lot about downloading stuff, launched a DDoS attack on ACS: Law’s website. And it went down.

You see, if you’re thought to have downloaded a film illegally, ACS: Law will send you a letter demanding payment or else.

One woman called Claire got a letter from ACS: Law demanding £495 for allegedly downloading Chubby Chasers.

On some websites you can buy such films for as little as $11 – which pound-for-pound is very reasonable, we’re told.

The fine is heavy. And if you’ve been accused of downloading illegal porn would you want to go to court?

So the 4chan users set about bringing down ACS:Law by gaining access to their servers and downloading lots of files – including the names, credit card details and addresses of over 5,000 Sky Broadband customers. Sky Broadband and all ISPs are bound by law to make such data available. In this case, Sky’s customers were accused of illegally downloading porn films.

ACS:Law “appears to compile lists of alleged infringers tracked by IP addresses, then appeals for a court order to the relevant internet service provider to hand over more information about the customer before taking the accused to court.”

Sky released a statement, having noticed that ACS:Law’s systems were not all that secure:

“Following recent events, we have suspended all co-operation with ACS:Law with immediate effect. This suspension will remain in place until ACS:Law demonstrates adequate measures to protect the security of personal information.”

ACS:Law’s boss is Andrew Crossley. The Register got him on the phone:

“It was only down for a few hours. I have far more concern over the fact of my train turning up 10 minutes late or having to queue for a coffee than them wasting my time with this sort of rubbish.”

4chan users were listening. This was an incentive to crank up the attack.
