Watch Lady GaGa puking on-stage!

AFTER Justin Bieber puked his little infant ring up on-stage recently, it seems that he may be at the start of something of a craze.

That’s because Lady GaGa has now joined in and, even better, someone managed to capture it on video! Hurray for humans! Of course, this is nowhere near as good as Fergie from Black Eyed Peas wetting herself mid-performance, but y’know, we can only work with what we’re given.

Freddie Starr gets eaten alive

FREDDIE Starr is alive! When we last saw Starr, he was wearing non-age-inappropriate khaki shorts and on a plane to Australia for I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!, a show now renamed I Wandered Into Jimmy Savile’s Dressing Room. Freddie Starr is, of course, the secondary thrust of the famous Sun headline “Freddie Starr ate my hamster”.

You’d think Starr had a cast iron stomach. But then he ate turkey testicles and was hospitalised.

The top ten dubious songs of the Jimmy Savile era

NOW that the dam has burst, and Sir Jimmy Savile stands exposed, the revelations about him and his fellow DJs confirm what many have known for years: that the pop music business of the fifties, sixties and seventies was a world in which middle-aged men surrounded themselves with young girls and boys and indulged themselves with impunity.

And the musical clues weren’t always subtle either. So as our contribution to the great debate, ladies and gentlemen/guys and gals, we present the top ten dubious songs of the Savile era…

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl – Sonny Boy Williamson (1937)

First recorded before the war, covered later by the legendary electric bluesmen, then later still by the bands of the mid-sixties British “blues boom” of the mid-sixties. This would be the template for all that followed.

Little Child – The Beatles (1963)

“Baby” and “child” were part of the rock’n’roll lexicon from the get-go, but this title nevertheless remains uniquely peculiar.

Young Girl – Gary Puckett & The Union Gap (1968)

This chart-topping Top of the Pops favourite is highly unusual, in that it actually questions the idea of “going too far”, and concludes that it might not be such a great idea after all…

Stray Cat Blues – The Rolling Stones (1968)

The 15-year-old subject of this sordid tail would later be adjusted to 16 for live performances

Vagabond Virgin – Traffic (1968)

“You were barely thirteen, so fresh on the scene…”



Born Late ’58 – Mott the Hoople (1974)

“Detonator, jail-baiter,” proclaims Overend Watts. Take the title and the release date and “do the math”.

Sick Again – Led Zeppelin (1975)

Jimmy Page’s 14-year-old girlfriend was referenced in “New Style” by the Beastie Boys (If I played guitar I’d be Jimmy page/the girls I like are underage) but Zep’s paean to juvenile groupies said it all years earlier…

Jailbait – Ted Nugent (1981)

“Jailbait’ was a popular phrase of the time, and several artists released tracks with that title, including Wishbone Ash, Nils Lofgren and Motorhead. This is Ted Nugent’s typically unsubtle take on the subject. (Well I don’t care if you’re just thirteen/You look too good to be true/ I just know that you’re probably clean
There’s one lil’ thing I got do to you.)

Lemon Incest – Serge & Charlotte Gainsbourg (1985)

The most inappropriate father-and-daughter duet since Frank and Nancy’s “Something Stupid”. Charlotte later described the single, recorded when she was 12, as a “provocation”. It is the 630th best-selling single of all time in France…

Playground Bang-a-round – Rye Spangle (2001)

OK, this is actually a Chris Morris spoof, but a gold disc would surely have awaited this glam classic back in 1973…

Arnold Schwarzenegger finally comes clean and admits to rather liking Hitler

FOR years, Arnold Schwarzenegger has denied that he ever liked Adolf Hitler. Fair enough you might think. Who wants to be the public figure who gives credit to one of history’s greatest monsters? However, now, he’s ready to talk about his admiration of Hitler because, effectively, everyone has a pretty low opinion of him anyway (especially after the whole secret love child with a nanny thing).

In his autobiography (called ‘Total Recall’, natch), Big Arnie says:

“I philosophized that only a few men are born to lead, while the rest of humanity is born to follow, and went from that into discussing history’s great conquerors and dictators,” Schwarznegger writes about a discussion with ‘Pumping Iron’ director George Butler. “I admired Hitler’s speaking ability, though not what he did with it.”

How piracy the pop star – CDs never lie

POP greats are being killed by Piracy. So say Mirco Pagano and Moreno De Turco. The duo used the artists’ CDs to create a dead body of work. But if piracy, such as file sharing, kills creativity, why is there so much creativity? Piracy doesn’t seem to killing the content industries. Sure, copying stuff must have an effect on total sale. But any links has not been proven. Would you have bought that song a feind copied for you? And now you’ve got it for free, might you like the singer and so buy their merchandise and tickets to see them in concert?

Still, these images of the rich and successful (and you’d have paid to see any of them play live) are nicely done:

Name the BBC staff who let Jimmy Savile attack children and hired rebel ‘paedo’ John Peel

FOLLOWING the Jimmy Savile is a peado news, the Jimmy Savile Charitable Trust, will give the £3.7m in its coffers to “support charities that work with survivors of sexual abuse”. DJ Paul Gambaccini claimed Savile was allowed to get away with raping and sexually abusing underage girls because the Fixer threatened the ill and needy. Savile reasoned that if he were exposed the charities he worked for would suffer. So, The BBC and the newspapers kept quiet. You know, to help the kiddies.

Hands up anyone who wants the tabloids restricted and journalists licensed by the State? Lord Leveson..?

So far over 40 people have claimed they were attacked by Savile. Savile’s nephew, Guy Marsden, recalls his experiences when aged 13. He was taken to parties:

“I never saw Jimmy Savile sexually abuse any of the children, but as far as I am concerned he was part of a paedophile ring at those parties.”

Daily Mail hates paedophiles: loves underage Chloe Moretz

THE Daily Mail is gunning for the BBC in light of allegation that Jimmy Savile sexually abused young girls on the corporation’s premises. Bebe Robert claims Savile abused her when she was 15. One woman claims Savile raped her when she was 15. She was working at the BBC.

All hideous. And all brought to you by the Daily Mail, which frowns on perving at young girls, like 15-year-old Chloe Moretz.

Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter’s ‘untouchable’ BBC paedo gang

KARIN Ward says Jimmy Savile attacked her when she was 14. She has told ITV News the same story that she told Newsnight. The BBC’s Newsnight dropped the story.

Karin Ward tells ITV:

“At the BBC, I told Newsnight that I saw Gary Glitter have sex with a girl in Jimmy Savile’s dressing room…in that little alcove bit. I didn’t see it completely but that’s what was going on and nobody batted an eye-lid. I also told them that I was horribly, horribly humiliated.”

Michael Jackson guilty of kidnapping and sexually assaulting children in Birmingham

IT might be a case of nominative determinism. Michael Jackson, 50, has been found guilty in Birmingham Crown Court of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a boy and a girl, both aged 10.

Jackson changed his name from Albert England.

Why? Well, Jimmy Savile never was much of a dancer…

Paris Hilton gets off with girl while boyfriend punches everything in sight

CHEATING is cheating. Some people don’t see it thus, thinking that if you’re a woman and you get off with another woman, that doesn’t count. However, if you’re one of those people who doesn’t want to see your partner locking lips with anyone else, then it is just plain ol’ cheating.

And that’s what we’re faced with here as Paris Hilton decided to get off with a lady at a nightclub in Las Vegas. And so, doing the nearest thing to sensible his little brain could think of, Paris’ boyfriend started hitting people. How sensible.
