Morrissey: Norway’s Anders Breivik ‘Nothing Compared To [Colonel Sanders] Actions of KFC’
MORRISSEY says that mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik should have killed chickens if he wanted to look truly bad.
Before a show in Warsaw, Poland, the miserabilist opined:
“We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 dead. Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Shit every day.”

Lauryn Hill Has Sixth Child, But No More Music And Seeks Privacy On Twitter
REMEMBER when Lauryn Hill was one of the most thrilling popstars on the planet. She could rap like a champ and had a voice that came straight outta Soulsville. Basically, she was the Fugees. When she went solo, she only went about making one of the finest LPs ever cut to wax.
And then she vanished like a big selfish baby.
While we all cowered around our copies of Doo Wop (That Thing), she went and pushed out Zion David-Nesta, Selah, Joshua, John and Sarah with on/off beau, Rohan Marley.

IN today’s edition of Amy Winehouse & Me, Big Brother product Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace goes head to head with Kelly Osbourne in an I Knew Her Best Celebrity Smack Down. Horgan-Wallace on ITV’s This Morning to confide:

Crystal Harris Is A Massive Liar Says Hugh ‘Rubbish In Bed’ Hefner
SURPRISED as you were about Crystal Harris dumping Hugh Hefner days before their wedding, there was always something vaguely odd about their relationship. Maybe it was the fact Hef was this famous guy and she came from nowhere. Maybe it was the 3025 year age gap?

Amy Winehouse: A Reader Apology – Exclusive To All Media
OLD MR ANORAK is just returned from the media’s WIMO working breakfast – Winehouse…In My Opinion – and would now like to present a joint statement on the matter of Amy Winehouse.
OVER the past years, readers may have fallen into the trap of perceiving Amy Winehouse as an overrated drug-addled, skank-haired, bone-thin, promiscuous, tattooed junkie whose only chance of achieving credibility in pop music was to drop needed to drop dead and join the “27 Club”.

Michael Jackson’s Trial Won’t Have Video Thanks To Worried Businessmen
WHILE Michael Jackson’s relatives cash-in on the interest surrounding the imminent trial of Dr Conrad Murray and his magical propofol, everyone has eyes squarely on the courtroom.
Will it be televised? Will Jackson’s naked body be displayed on air (you can titter, but this is a genuine possibility)? Will Dr Conrad Murray ever get anything close to a fair trial thanks to constant media coverage and opinion?
Either way, raw film footage of Michael Jackson rehearsing a planned concert in the days before his death isn’t going to be shown to the jury after a ruling from a Los Angeles judge, which is bad news for the prosecutors.

Amy Winehouse’s Funeral Is Infected By Media Intrusion
AMY Winehouse was buried at Edgwarebury Cemetery today. We have been sent lots of photos of mourners wearing yarmulkes.
Mark Ronson, Nick Grimshaw, Kelly Osborne and lots of other faces were there for prayers. They knew her.
Ronson is forever bound to Winehouse on the excellent Valerie. His silence has been dignified – at odds with the showbiz twats who seek to piggyback on Winehouse’s dead body and emote in Twitter and TMZ about the Wino they never really knew.

How Michael Jackson And Corey Feldman Triggered 9/11
COREY Feldman, 1980s child actor, tells OK! magazine about his spat with former pal Michael Jackson. It kick starts a conspiracy theory:
OK!: “Rumour has it that you guys were stuck in New York on September 11 — and while Michael managed to get his pals Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Tayor to safety, he left you behind. Is that true?”

The 27 Club: After Amy Winehouse Here’s A Guide To Who’s Next?
AMY Winehouse has died. The media chatter is of the “27 CLUB”, a fabled place where true pop stars die at the age of 27. Winehouse was 27. Jimi Hendrix was 27. Jim Morrison was 27. Orish Grinstead was 27. You see – all real stars die at 27. The media is never wrong, opportinistic or in bad taste.

Amy Winehouse Shrine Photos: Fans Tributes In Cans, Fags And A Bottle Of Malibu
AMY Winehouse’s body was picked up by the Floyd & Sons Funeral directors and taken from her Camden Square home.
In the London Square are two shrines to Winehouse. One is clean and floral – although whoever thought it was fitting to mark Winehouse’s passing with a teddy might question the relevance (we suggest pulling its head off and looking inside).

Amy Winehouse And Me: A Singer’s Entertaining Death (Photos)
AMY Winehouse is dead. The pop star – the first British singer to win five Grammy awards – was only 27.
The news is full of how she has joined the “27 Club” of musicians who have died: Rolling Stone Brian Jones (drowned in a swimming pool in 1969); Jimi Hendrix (choked to death in 1970 after mixing wine with sleeping pills); singer Janis Joplin (suffered a suspected heroin overdose the same year); Doors star Jim Morrison (heart failure in 1971); Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain (shot himself in 1994); and Orish Grinstead (Kidney failure). Grinstead was a member of ’90s R&B group 702. But you knew that.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Won’t Be Supporting Shriver, Despite Their Son Being Nearly Dead
IT’S bad enough that Arnold Schwarzenegger had it away with the maid and worse still that he didn’t use contraception, leaving him with a secret love child which he kept under wraps for over a decade. Then, Arnie’s wife – Maria Shriver – found out and his marriage, understandably, dissipated into the ether.
So you’d think that Arnold would be willing to pay his way to his family by way of apology, right?
WRONG.

Lindsay Lohan Too Broke For Psychological Treatment
WHAT does Lindsay Lohan do again? We can’t honestly remember. Is she some kind of clown? Either way, she’s constantly in the press for bad behaviour and reports of her brain capsizing like a champ.
After a series of brushes with the law, she’s been in-and-out of court more times than the Apple patent chaps. And now, being sued by a rehab worker who says LiLo twisted her arm a bit, she’s going through it all again.
And, while there, it appears that she’s let on she’s broke. According to her lawyer, Lohan can’t afford court-ordered psychological treatment.

Britney Spears Getting Sued For Picking Her Nose And Farting Loads
ANORAK readers are, on the whole, disgusting pigs. So are we writers of this esteemed online publication. We all sit around eating our bogeys, winding off in our ill-fitting trousers covered in sex stains and generally making everyone else feel wholly adequate.
However, we’re all in good company as it transpires that Britney Spears is an absolute pig of a human.

Matt Damon Says The Incredibly Fortunate Brad Pitt Is Like A Prisoner
PEOPLE may say Matt Damon’s voice in a stupid voice all the time thanks to Team America, but he’s a happy chap. He’s got famous friends, loads of money and is surprisingly self-effacing and bright. Not many people in Hollywood can have that said about them.
And, most importantly, Damon is able to maintain a pretty normal life, unlike most of his peers. This is perhaps due to his largely forgettable face.

J Lo And Marc Anthony Split Over Infidelity, Jealousy And More!
WHILE a failed marriage must be very upsetting and distressing for those involved, its a whole heap of fun for those watching from the sidelines. Divorces don’t even have to be celebrity-based for us to hoot and howl at them, but it is all the sweeter when it does have famous people crying in it.
And of course, the big celebdivorce is Jennifer Lopez (still refusing to let everyone see her getting spanked in that sex video, the big spoilsport) and Marc Anthony.

Lady GaGa Says Cocaine Is The Devil, Devil Said To Be Hurt By That Comment
WHILE talking to Howard Stern, Lady GaGa decided to talk about drugs. Now, this is a woman who once said that she used to toot blow from a copy of the Bible that she had in her apartment.
So drugs are cool, right Little Monsters?

LADIES and gentlemen, here we have one of those magical anti-news stories. It’s commonplace for tabloids and glossy rags to tell you things that aren’t happening, so we’re going to join in.
