Fat And Skinny Kerry Katona Scores For Felchester Rovers
ANORAK readers know that Kerry Katona and OK! magazine combine to make a modern comic book character. One day we will read that Katona has found a pair of football boots that once belonged to dead legend Dead Shot Keen and when she wears them she can’t stop scoring – no, not drugs, but actual goals for Premier League football team Felchester City.
In this week’s OK!, Katona is more cartoonish then ever.

Heston Blumenthal Separates From Wife – Dates Food Porn Writer
BOFFIN-noggined TV cook Heston Blumenthal is no longer with his wife Zanna, of whom he opined:
“Zanna is the reason for my success because she has supported me every step of the way. She’s sacrificed so much and has never complained.
“It sounds corny, but I knew from the outset that I’d found my soul mate. There was a deep connection between us and even though we were just teenagers, we knew we had found something special.”

Get Your Big Pants Ready! Bridget Jones 3 Is Coming!
HEY! Curvy women! The actually-thin-but-puts-weight-on-because-someone-pays-her-to Renée Zellweger is coming back to play Bridget Jones in an attempt to pretend she’s one of you, thereby making your worthless lives that little bit more recognisable.
Of course, that seems needlessly aggressive. Suffice to say, we’ve all got worthless lives, including Renée Zellweger.

Cher Lloyd Advises That X Factor Hopefuls Should ‘Get Out, Now!’
REASONABLE verse, terrible chorus. That’s the honest, non-emotive review of Cher Lloyd’s recent number one, ‘Swagger Jagger‘. See, someone needs to be emotionless about it because, for some inexplicable reason, everyone’s got apeshit over it, unable to do anything other than adore it endlessly, or berate it like it’s a mass murder.

Dead Dog Sympathy Sex With EastEnders’ Shane Richie And His No. 1 Fan
WHAT kind of week was it for EastEnders Red Coat Shane Ritchie, 47? Well, since you asked, it was mixed. While continuing to act like a dad plucked from the crowd and invited to play in a Premier League football match – a mixture of ‘Look at me, I’m famous’; ‘Blimey this is my big chance – told you I’d make it’; and ”Should I play the fool and hide by lack of skills?” – Richie told us that he first met his current wife Christie Goddard, now 27:
“Our paths first crossed when I was only 12 years old. I had a tiny part in a Royal Variety Performance playing a stick of celery.”

Demi ‘Bruiser’ Lovato Talks About Punching A Dancer
ROLLER COASTER is a way of describing the past year that kids’ fave Demi Lovato has had. She’s dated a Jonas Brother (who cares which one? Seriously. They’re all grown in the same laboratory), split up with him, gone mad, self-harmed, gone into rehab, got an eating disorder, got diagnosed as bipolar and, most importantly, punched the crap out of one of her dancers.
Demi says:
“I was completely out of line all summer. Just the worst attitude – totally ungrateful.”

PJ Harvey Doesn’t Like New Bands And Thinks New Music Is Dull (Which Is Rich)
FOX-HUNTING supporter and Mercury-nominated (we’re legally obliged to write that in sadly) PJ Harvey has branded modern music ‘dull’ and ‘unoriginal’ despite making tedious LPs that lean far too heavily on whatever the alt.zeitgeist of the day is in the first place.
Speaking to the NME, Polly Harvey said:
“Not for a lack of knowing it exists, but because I find nothing that interests me.”

Alec Baldwin To Challenge Kesley Grammer In Surreal Mayoral Race
AMERICA is stupid. Brilliantly stupid. They’ve got guns, burgers and robot teeth. They also have celebrities in positions of power. Ronald Reagan was president ferchrissakes!
And now, we’ve got a fabulously surreal mayoral race in the offing as Alec Baldwin could well be taking on Kelsey Grammer to become King of New York City!
Baldwin has insisted that he’ll run for Mayor of New York one day. He’s a native of Long Island and life-long liberal, and would be an excellent foe for Kelsey who is right of the wing.

Should Sesame Street’s Bert And Ernie Get Married?
SESAME STREET is one of the most forward thinking, progressive shows around. It’s featured civil rights speeches, tackled racism, people talking about their AIDS, poverty… and now, people are calling for it to feature a gay marriage.
And the likely candidates are Bert and Ernie, and there’s even a petition demanding it. They already share a bed and rubber ducky would make an excellent best man.
Anyway, the petition comes from Change.org who want the puppets to teach our children that same-sex marriage is okay. Which it isn’t of course. All marriages are stupid aren’t they? You’d have to be nuts to want to get the State involved in your love.

Kerry Katona: So – How Are You Going To Die?
KERRY Katona is stood by a washing line from which five teddies are hanging. One is hanging by its ears. Three are hanging by their arms. Alongside this scene of nursery torture, Kerry smiles over the OK! magazine headline:
“Kerry cracks up!”
Is this a cruel pun on her drug-taking past and bi-polarism? Another headline appears:
“My ex mark can drown himself in the Big Brother pool”
This delightful turn of phrase is only made more hideous when we see that also on the OK! cover are two of Kerry’s children – the pair she had with Mark Croft – her ex-husband. One is sat in a laundry basket. The other is touching the wire from which the teddies are hanging. Is it plugged in?
This is no joke because having introduced the kids and the reader to the idea of daddy being dead (he’s not on Big Brother), OK! then asks lots of question about potentially lethal moments in Kerry’s life:
OK!: “Which of your exes wouldn’t you mind finding face down in the Big Brother pool?”

Outkast’s Big Boi Has His Viagra Swiped By The Cops
RAP is a very, very macho world. And so, the news that Outkast tunesmith Big Boi has been arrested in Miami for possession of drugs – including Viagra – won’t be good news for his cred.
Sniffer dogs and men in hats found him to be in possession of the cock drops, alongside the more impressive ecstasy tablets and MDMA powder.
He said of the arrest:
“Fresh out baby!!!! They said it was the love boat.”

Marilyn Monroe Film Opens In New York, Reminding Us All That She Was Pretty Fit

Rowan Atkinson Crashes Supercar Into Supertree
LEGEND of British comedy, Rowan Atkinson, has decided to give us all a laugh today by crashing his supercar into a tree. Then a lamppost. Then it caught fire.
Seriously. That’s Baldrick levels of ace.
Mercifully for Blackadder/Mr Bean/That Police Thing He Was In fans, he’s in a stable condition. Which is good because you don’t tend to have little prangs when razzing around in a McLaren F1 supercar.
Atkinson earned himself a nice shoulder injury but managed to walk away from the flaming vehicle while he waited for an ambulance who probably thought the whole thing was some huge joke.
