Richard And Judy Absent From 21 Years Of This Morning Party, In Pictures
YES, we did go to the 21st birthday of ITV’s This Morning at Studio Valbone in London. Yes, we did see Peter Andre. Yes, we did see Philip Schofield dressed a jacket potato and a woman later identified as his wife. Yes, we did see the hard to like Holly Willoughby. And, no, because we did not ask how her son “Harry” was, we didn’t speak to her. (Anorak runs a daily sweepstake on how far into the show Holly will make mention her son – the record is five seconds.) and yes we did see John Leslie dressed in a blue velvet jacket, hanky and wearing an expression of a man easing into his reputation. And we did not see Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, the couple who started the TV Valium. And yes we did get pictures:

St Trinian’s 2 – The Legend of Fritton’s Gold Premiere, In Pictures
PALOMA Faith is fast turning into Anorak’s celebrity mascot, arriving at all the dos to have her picture taken, give a cheeky looks over her shoulder and wear clothes that should come with a dimmer switch and a packet of Chewits. We couldn’t miss the international model of mystery as she arrived at the UK premiere of St Trinian’s 2 – The Legend of Fritton’s Gold (plot spoiler: suspenders and sauce in colour) at London’s Empire, Leicester Square. Also there were Sarah Harding, Tamsin Egerton, Talulah Riley, Gemma Arterton Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts, both of Girls Aloud, Rupert Everett, Shingai Shoniwa of The Noisettes and big David Haye. The underwear in pictures:

Tiger Woods: Milf Linked To Woods And Barbro Holmberg In Pictures
TIGER WOODS: Another day and with it another Tiger Woods woman (all pictures here): meet Milf Barbro Holmberg. Babs is 57, blonde and is pictured lying down on a mobile bed. Indeed, dear readers, has Tiger now replaced his golf cart with a electric divan, thus facilitating a 19th hole wherever he wants it?
It turns out that Ms Holmberg is his…mother in law. No. No! We read on and discover that Holmberg is not Woods’ latest conquest but lying prone because she is ill and being rushed to hospital. Other evidence that she is not a Woods Woman: she is NOT a waitress, NOT holding mobile phone and NOT holding her breast about a baffing iron like a sports mad St Agatha.

Shakira Addresses The Oxford Union, In Pictures
HAVING spotted Shakira performing at the O2 centre one day earlier (pictures here), Anorak was at our alma mater to see the Colombian address students at the Oxford Union. Shakira was invited to speak at the world-famous debating society – 186 years in existence. Shakira, it says here, is talking about her charitable deeds in South America in her role as an ambassador for UNICEF. They come to listen – and maybe to spot Shakira wearing a pair of very giving hot pants while crawling along the floor giving full throat to “Lucky that my breasts are small and humble”. Says she:
“I must admit I am somewhat mystified as to why you are here, as there won’t be any singing or any hip shaking whatsoever. So how do I go from Barranquilla, Colombia, to occupy the same stage as Newton and Churchill? Lord knows I’m no Mother Teresa.”

Dizzee Rascal Kicks The Camera At London’s 02, In Pictures
DIZZEE Rascal is everything you don’t get on the X Factor: freedom, talent and style. While Simon Cowell turns music into a GCSE in marketing, a thing that can be passed and failed at the behest of the professor of pap (Cole, Walsh and Minogue), music exists. Anorak brings you the best pictures from Dizzee Rascal at the O2 centre. How close were we to the star? Any closer and you’d be wearing him…

The Backstreet Boys Play London, In Pictures
YOU know you’re getting old when the Backstreet Boys have reformed. Anorak’s aging fan was at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball at the O2 Arena in London to see Brian Littrell (turning into Steve Martin), A. J. McLean (sunglasses to reduce the glare), Nick Carter (he was once a heartthrob) and Howie Dorough (Howard the popstar) of the Backstreet Boys perform. She took pictures.

Polar Bear Arrives At Copenhagen Climate Summit, In Pictures
POLAR Bear Watch: TO highlight the perils of man-made (what the proof?) global warming campaigners behind the Ice Bear Project have carved a polar bear from a nine-ton block of ice and placed it outside the conference centre where world leaders are meeting for the Copenhagen climate change summit. The ice has been made in a freezer – a clockwork freezer.

Joanna Kupa Is Peta’s Naked Dump Animal Of The Month, In Pictures
JOANNA Krupa is Pete’s Dumb Animal of the Month. Krupa has featured on the cover of thes fine publications: ENVY, FHM, Personal, Inside Sport, Stuff, Steppin’ Out, Teeze, and Maxim. She has modelled knickers and appeared in Playboy.
To paraphrase the Peta mantra, Joanna Kupa would rather go naked – or nearly naked – than wear fur or pretty much anything else so long as it earned her a crust.
Turns out that Kupa is not only spokesperson for dumb animals but Jesus Christ, too. Says she:
“We’re trying to spread the word that breeding isn’t the way to go. In my heart I know that Jesus would never condone the suffering that results when dogs and cats are allowed to breed.”
Stop allowing cats and dogs to breed! Here’s to extinction! Enjoy the pictures of Kuper in her leather boots and stradling a, er, pedigree dog.
It would be hard to find an organization in the U.S. which treats animals more unethically than People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). In 2008, as demonstrated by the Center for Consumer Freedom, PETA killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets in its care. Indeed, it killed an average of 6 pets a day last year at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters, placing only seven in adoptive homes. Between 1998 and 2008, it killed a total of 21,339 cats and dogs. To top it off, despite a budget of $32 million, PETA does not operate an adoption shelter.

World Champion Amir Khan Beats Dmitriy Salita, In Pictures
AMIR Khan took just 76 seconds to defeat New York challenger Dmitriy Salita. Not a single tabloid’s back page features the event. Is Britain so blessed with world champions that Khan can be so ignored as he retains his WBA Light-Welterweight Title bout at the Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle? Two footballers swing handbags and it’s all over the papers. A boxer uses skill to fight and he’s buried towards the middle of the newssheets, or ignored as the nation’s biggest selling Sunday, the NoTW, sees fit. We’ve got the pictures of the fight:

The Religious Climate Change Wave Protest, In Pictures
GREEN campaigners journey to London and Glasgow to demand “Climate Justice” and call on the government to push for a meaningful deal as they fly in for the UN climate change summit in Copenhagen. Environmental campaigners, aid agencies, trade unions and organisations including the Women’s Institute travel from across the country to take part in “The Wave” in London. They come on foot. They make the pilgrimage. And at their head is a religious leader muscling in on the throng, or just trying to keep warm. It’s the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams – head of the Church of England (keen investor in oil and mining firms; and house builder on farm land) – joining the Archbishop of Westminster The Most Reverend Vincent Nichols in donning a pair of blue rubber gloves as if they are about to frisk Gaia for concealed hurricanes and terrible plagues. The pictures now follow. The plagues follow later:

David Cameron In Afghanistan Is Grabba Ma Selling Houses, In Pictures
MORE on David Cameron’s visit to Afghanistan. Like Prince Charles, every picture of David Cameron screams out for a speech bubble. Cameron is a man ideally suited to captions. Who can but look at this picture of Dave in a jumper and jeans combo his grandpa bequeathed him and not imagine what the squaddies behind are thinking? More photos are emerging of Dave wandering aimlessly in Afghanistan in an estate agent’s suit, a Grabber Ma given the shiny-cheeked appearance of being alive. Enjoy all these photos and do offer up your captions – picture number 6 is fabulous.

X Factor Cancer Victim Danyl Johnson Hospitalised Over ‘Arts Injury’, In Pictures
DID you know that X Factor singer Danyl Johnson had a “secret battle with cancer”? Not that it’s a secret any more.
At that secret X Factor gig – that was only a secret if you weren’t invited (we were: pictures here) – Danyl Johnson revealed his secret to the, er, media. He had testicular cancer as a boy.

Sarah Ferguson Laughs It Up At The Young Victoria Permiere, In Pictures
SARAH Ferguson is at the US premiere of the film ‘Young Victoria’, California. Ferguson helped to produce the film in her new role as female version of Prince Edward, who billed as ‘Edward Windsor’ – and known to millions as TWIT (The Weed In Tweed) – created documentaries on his great uncle Edward VIII, Royalty from A to Z and a show about the Tower of London. Fergie is involved with project about a Queen. Not too long ago, Fergie was on estate in Hull telling us:
“I inspire people to get on and do things by rallying the troops. I’m an enabler. What saved people after the blitz was a cup of tea and a biscuit.”
And what saved Ferie were two progeny, a divorce settlement and a way of making money for her children’s bloodline. Pictures of the event:

Jonas Brothers, Black-Eyed Peas And Katy Perry’s Cleavage Present The X Factor Free Grammys, In Pictures
TIME for another music industry AGM and we look at the Grammy nominations. The usual suspects are all name checked: Beyonce Knowles (10 award nominations), Taylor Swift (8), and The Black Eyed Peas, Maxwell and Kanye West (6 each). That might sound a lot but with 109 categories to be nominated for, Beyonce and the big sellers may feel short changed. As for Simon Cowell’s reality TV – American Idol, X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent – concoctions, there is not a single nomination. Simon Cowell didn’t kill music – he just put it into a category marked “CRAP”. Here’s the breaking news in pictures:

Inside Barack And Michelle Obama’s Christmas White House, In Pictures
IN the White House, First Lady Michelle Obama holds an event to present the Christmas decorations and to thanks volunteers who helped ready the White House for Christmas, in Washington. That’s nice isn’t it, helping make the White House look Christmassy. The photoshoot is like an Hello! magazine montage. You half expect the pictures to be followed by a gossip mag-style Q & A in which Michelle talks of the “miracle” birth of the Obama nation after a painful Labour, how much she loves her kids and that she thinks Katie Price wants Pete back. The pictures:

ANORAK women have picked up the scent of soapy celebrity and demanded that Old Mr Anorak features the I’m A Celebrity men working up a lather in Australia’s prototype shower. As one readers writes:

Jaimee Grubbs Tells Of ‘2-Year Affair’ With Tiger Woods, In Pictures
JAIMEE Grubbs is not only a product of nominative determinism, but alleges that she was Tiger Woods’ lover. While Rachel Uchitel tells media outlet that she is not Woods’ 19th hole (one magazine contests that), Jaimee Grubbs introduces herself and says that she is.
Anorak has brought you pictures of Jaimee Grubbs, and now the Sun thunders:
“MY 2-YEAR-FLING WITH TIGER”
Grubbs is 20, which would make her 18 when she first addressed Woods. In golfing terms this equates to a year for every hole. Back nine, front nine. Jaimee sets up the jokes and the media takes a gimme. As for the story:
A COCKTAIL waitress has sensationally claimed she’s been having an affair with Tiger Woods for 31 months. Jaimee Grubbs, 24, says she has had around 20 sexual encounters with the world’s top golfer, 33.

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.)

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.
