Britain’s Got Talent: Janey Cutler Might Be Susan Boyle
BRITAIN’S Got Talent looms and we get to meet Janey Cutler, billed as this year’s Susan Boyle.
In the tabloids, Britain’s Go Talent is a chance for ugly people to do well. We don’t mean ugly as in grotesque, just ugly as in Unlikely Gods Like Yourself (TM).
While the X Factor positions lip-synching Cheryl Cole – with a conviction for assault; neck tattoo and shaggability – as the nation’s sweetheart, the X Factor resident babe is eyebrow wrangler Amanda Holden. Holden is hard-to-like. But unlike Cole who looks out of reach for watching dads and sticky finger adolescents, the former Mrs Les Dennis seems within reach, the tarty office secretary who might at the Christmas party.

Ricky Gervais Beats David Cameron In Christian O’Connell Radio Vote
RICKY Gervais and Christian O’Connell present Simon Cowell, from Wildlife Aid, with a cheque after Ricky won the most votes on the ‘Who’s calling Christian?’ slot on Absolute radio. Says Ricky Gervais: “Beating David Cameron [who came second in the poll of 60 celebs and names] was the important thing. If he can’t beat me, how’s he going to beat Gordon Brown? I’m made up that I’ve won, now I don’t have to enter Britain’s Got Talent or I’m a Celebrity.” Nto that Gordon Brown entered the race, he rather expected to win by default, as democracy dictates…

In Pictures: Dhruv Baker Wins BBC MasterChef 2010
DHRUV Baker is the winner of MasterChef 2010, the addictive BBC TV show in which amateur chefs (how can it be MasterChef if they’re amateurs? Discuss.) try to impress professional telly eaters John Torode and Gregg Wallace with stone cold food congealed under arc lights. Dhruv beat Tim Kinnaird, a man who looked uncannily like a pleading beagle, and Alex Rushmer, a kind of rolled out Jenson Button with ColdPlay hair and sex appeal, to the big metal and paste ‘M”. Here’s Dhruv in pictures at home with his wife Aileen and son Arunat.

Dr Who: Matt Smith Lookalikes And Alan Clark
DR Who is back. The fans get Matt Smith. And Anorak sees traces of Richard D Zanuck with a dash of Alan Clark. Who does he look like? Smith looks and sounds far more extraterrestrial than David Tennant, who always looked like he was acting and wanted you to know it, too. Your ideas please as to whom Matt Smith looks like… And then work out why Tom Baker changed into any of them?

Sophie Dahl’s Eton Whores And 9/11 Cricket
SOPHIE Dahl hs written Miss Dahl’s Voluptuous Delights. It’s a cook book to go with her cooking show. The Telegraph digests and features Dahl in conversation:
She wasn’t inhibited by having a celebrated literary grandfather, Roald Dahl, from writing her own books…
She’s made of solid stuff. But not of her food is:
Too much rosewater in the rhubarb Eton mess, she warns, produces an effect “like walking into a bordello”.

Over The Rainbow Puts Graham Norton’s Bums On Seats
OVER The Rainbow is the TV talent show that’ll pick a winner to play Dorothy in a West End version of the Wizard of Oz from 20 hopefuls. This follows the success of the BBC’s other Lloyd Weber advertorials, a search for Oliver Twist (I’d Watch Anything) and a search for The Sound Of Music renegade nun (No Way To Stop It).
Now we can spend lots of weekends with Lloyd Webber. But the entire purpose of the thing is not to provide free publicity for Lloyd Webber, nor to allow the proles to glimpse live theatre without paying £50 for the privilege – and that’s just the parking. The entire purpose is to give Graham Norton the chance to follow up his line “You can still be Nancy” with “You can still be Dorothy”.

In Pictures: The Bill Is Killed Off After 25 Years Of Reality Policing
ITV has decided to axe The Bill, the show that used to show a fictional version of life in a police station and turned into a turgid soap where former EastEnders‘ jobbers went to go through the motions. It was supposed to reflect the copper’s life but with no sign of nicking celebs, it became far-fetched.
Ok, a few stars were showcased: Keira Knightley, in 1995, played Sheena Rose, a ten-yar-old with nicked coins; James McAvoy; David Walliams; knife criminal Sean Bean; Paul O’Grady played a transvestite; Kathy Burke was kidnapped; Chesney Hawkes sang.

Meow Meow The Panda Bear Goes Nuts
TODAY’S polar bear news is hijacked by Meow Meow the angry panda. Once pandas where the big bears on the news agenda. Then the polar bears started sitting on ice and melting it to make them look small and hopeless.
The media lapped it up and the pandas were shafted. One a brighter note, with less gawping, the pandas have been shagging like Jesse James at a Tiger Woods pro-priest invitational and there are now millions perhaps billions of them.
