Everyone knew someone raped by Jimmy Savile
JIMMY Savile sets the news agenda: the Star (“SAVILE QUIZZED BY COPS FIVES YEARS AGO”); the Daily Mail, which leads with the photographs of two women and the the headline: “WE WERE VICTIMS Of JIMMY SAVILE”; the Sun goes with “Jimmy Savile Molested Me When I was 14.”
The Mail’s women are:
Katrina Rose, 51, says she was attacked in Savile’s flat when she was 14. The BBC DJ had met Katrina’s mother through his work at Broadmore hospital. He asked if her daughter would like to see how Top of the Pops was made. He told the girl to come alone. She says:
“When he invited me to watch him record the show, I jumped at the chance as I went to stage school and wanted to be an actress. He asked that I come alone because he could only do tours for ‘special people’, so my parents gave me permission to get the train from Surrey where we lived. I walked with him from his flat in Belgravia to the BBC studios and he wore a balaclava as he said he would be mobbed by fans without it. I wasn’t worried as he was a family friend and my mother trusted him…I was sitting on a chair and he came in with the tea and sat on the sofa. He asked he if I’d had a good day.”

Christian LaBella released after alleged assault of Lindsay Lohan
HAW HAW! Lindsay Lohan is always getting into scrapes isn’t she? She’s more famous for T.R.O.U.B.L.E. than she is her career! So what is she up to now? What mirth can we draw out of her latest situation?
She says she’s been assaulted by a man?
Oh. That isn’t even remotely funny. And neither is the fact that the accused – Christian LaBella – has been released without charge by the NYC police after claims couldn’t be substantiated.

ChidLine founder Estzer Rantzen says she ignored Jimmy Savile child abuse stories
ESTHER Rantzen sinks her choppers into the Jimmy Savile child rapist allegations. The former BBC presenter says of her now dead BBC colleague in the ITV documentary Exposure: The Other Side of Jimmy Savile:
“We all blocked our ears to the gossip.”
That’s the same Esther Rantzen who set up ChildLine in 1986, a confidential phone service for under 19s to open up about abuse. As she said:
“There’s so much pain in life that you can’t avoid, but I don’t think there’s any cause more crucial than protecting children from the avoidable pain.”

Why did Glencoe locals shun Jimmy Savile?
A READER writes on Jimmy Savile:
I expect he smells a lot better now he’s been buried face-down in concrete for a few months.
The BBC actually has a lot to answer for…the men in grey suits thoughts his antics were amusing and, , ‘after all old chap,’ he was only forcibly shagging “spotty common girls” from the frozen north. No “nice gals” were involved.
He bought a holiday place in Glencoe and I was told the locals simply shunned him. He had to travel to Inverness or Fort William for supplies. Whenever I asked (during Glen Coe regattas) every single query was met by a change of subject.
I was never aware of anyone so universally disliked by what are a normally warm and accepting bunch of people.

How to spot a paedophile: From Jimmy Savile and Pete Townsend
HOW do you spot a paedophile? Allegations that Jimmy Savile raped children at the BBC studios, among other places, make you wonder. When someone is called a child molester, the great unwashed eye them differently.
Pete Townshend, The Who’s back office, recalls his dalliance with thought police. In his autobiography, Who I Am, Townsend recalls his error in researching child abuse on the internet. He said the research was part of a campaign against images of child sex abuse on the web. He paid £7 with his credit card to access the child porn. It went badly. He ended up getting arrested. Townsend was placed on the sex offenders register for five years. In 2003, he was cleared of possessing illegal images of children.
He had looked but he had not downloaded. His crime was one of thought. If someone showed you a revolting image of child abuse on a piece of paper, can it be said that you downloaded it?

Teacher Jeremy Forrest’s legal rep is Mark Ronson’s half sister Henrietta
HENRIETTA Ronson, of Tucker solicitors, defending Jeremy Forrest, the married 31-year-old teacher who ran off to France with 15-year-old schoolgirl Megan Stammers, is the half-sister of singer Marc Ronson and DJ Sam Ronson. Jeremy Forrest plays the guitar and has recorded songs. Might this be what it was all about – Forrest getting to meet a big time producer and get his break in the music biz…?
Just as the story of a vapid teenager and her dickhead teacher was about to fade, a little stardust falls.

Ke$ha says she’s had sex with a ghost
ANYONE who has seen those leaked photographs of Ke$ha covered in someone’s semen will no doubt have been steadily vomiting for the past year. There’s something so profoundly unlikeable about Ke$ha that, it doesn’t at all matter what she looks like, because she’ll always be on the cusp of vile.
Maybe it’s because she’s a walking Bratz doll who will say absolutely anything for attention and, ultimately, will end up believing it herself.

THE media rule is that any story benefits from a dash of stardust. The news that Jonathan Kendrick Lewis, aka Johnny Lewis, 28, is dead is not enough. He’s an actor accused of killing his landlady, one Catherine Davis, 81.
Lewis appeared in teen angst show the O.C. and Sons of Anarchy. It looks like he committed suicide, jumping from a building in Los Feliz.
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Commander Andrew Smith tells media:
“At some point, Johnny jumped or fell from the home’s roof, garage, balcony, stairs or patio area.”

Madonna has to point out irony of calling Obama a ‘black Muslim’
IT is a sorry state of affairs when people have to point out when they’re using irony. And Madonna, a notorious sarcastic ol’ thing, has had to do exactly that after everyone got jumpy about her calling Barack Obama a “black Muslim” during a show in Washington
A video shows Madge saying: “Now, it’s so amazing and incredible to think that we have an African-American in the White House … we have a black Muslim in the White House … it means there is hope in this country, and Obama is fighting for gay rights, so support the man!”
Cue a pointless furore, to which Madonna (who we’re legally obliged to refer to as ‘The Material Girl’ at some point in this article) responded:
“I was being ironic on stage. Yes, I know Obama is not a Muslim – though I know that plenty of people in this country think he is. And what if he were? The point I was making is that a good man is a good man, no matter who he prays to. I don’t care what religion Obama is – nor should anyone else in America.”
