Susan Boyle Survives The Mania To Live A Life Outside The Book
SUSAN Boyle remains impervious to the Americanisation process. Her chest, teeth and skin tones are her own. She is just a human being, of course. But when she burst onto the scene, Boyle was a symbol of God’s love. Boyle was signing copies of her book The Woman I Was Born To Be in Glasgow’s St Enoch’s Centre today.
But back then, Boyle was the antidote to the vanity of our age. She as an angel, whose looks were a totem to feminists who desperate for an argument saw in a face a sign that women could now be “ugly” and accepted.

Liz Hurley And Shane Warne: Secrets And Photos
LIZ Hurley is cheating on her husband with Shane Warne? Maybe. But, then, she did split from her husband four months ago.
The News of the World’s Stephen Moyes and Tina Campanella are pretty adamant:
LIZ Hurley has been caught in a steamy affair behind her husband’s back with cricket legend Shane Warne.
Anorak readers will recalls Liz’s wedding to Arun Nayar. The do began in 2007 and seems to have ended a few short weeks ago. Hello! magazine invested £2 million to secure the rights to broadcast the wedding.
We salivated over a 53-page album of “non-stop festivities”, “Bollywood dancing” and “spectacular fireworks”.
There was a meal of curry and, in clear tribute to Arun’s roots and glamour, spiced peas.
We chortled and begged for more when Liz’s father-in-law told us in his wedding speech:
“I once thought Liz was a lovely, unspoiled woman, but now I see that she is a very hard person. It was important for her to get celebrity faces there. That’s what the Hello! deal was about. She was fulfilling her contractual obligation. I knew she was very ambitious, but I never realised just how desperate she is for fame and attention.”

Chase & Status And Race Scene Nostalgia: Music Video Of The Day
THE Chase & Status video for Blind Faith is nostalgia as it is meant to be: raw; plain; grainy, smoky, and most likely a false memory. It’s a piece of music telly created by director Daniele Wolfe on a VHS camcorders. (You can tell because the skin is not grey enough and Michaela Strachan’s not trying to get in.)
This is a great video. Well, I was there. Am I in the video? Can you spot me? Or are you growing dewey-eyed from when life was simple and hot knives and hoodies didn’t mean a kebab-shop stabbing?

X Factor 2012: Next Year’s Finalists – Lori Watt
THE X Factor is building to a dreary climax. The entertainers are gone and we are left with Dot Cotton’s mini me (Cher Lloyd); a five piece ensemble called One Direction who are a shoo-in to front a campaign to make all boys carry a clean hankie in their pockets; and Matt Cardle, a nice singer of nice songs.
So. Here’s to next year’s finalists. And in 2012, we will surely thrill to Ladies Chill in my Veins by Lori Watt:

Mel Gibson’s The Beaver Is Film Gold: Trailer
MEL Gibson is back as the star of The Beaver. Jodie Foster directs Mel as a man with puppet on his hand. It’s a beaver and Mel treats it as if it were real. His character name is Walter Black (*note a gang-banging black – just a white man with a rodent on his hand).
The script for this gem was top of the 2008 Black List of the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood. And if you don’t want to see the odious Mel running about the place talking to a beaver glove, you have no love of culture. The film sounds fantastic.

Rihanna Gives Cream Dreams For GQ: Photos
RIHANNA is the stuff of adolescent dreams in January’s GQ magazine. She looks a bar of confectionary with a creamy filling. You can read the ingredients down the side. It’s all overt and sexually suggestive. Says Rihanna:
“Public figures can become annoying. They see me a lot and every time they see me my a** is out or my boobs are out, so it can get a little irritating. I get that. But I have to do what makes me happy, what I feel like doing.”

Peter Andre And Pollyanna Woodward: Photos, PR And Gossip
PETER Andre, sentimental pop acorn fertilised by Katie Price’s jungle fingers, is to be named in the divorce of Channel Five’s Pollyanna Woodward and QVC’s Lee Clark. Well, so says the NoTW.
The talk is of text messages between the two. One night, Clark claims, there were over 100 texts. There is no proof of the pair having had a physical relationship – Woodward and Andre both say it was platonic – but this NoTW exclusive needs wings, so Carole Aye Maung and Neville Thurlbeck write:
Over the next few days Lee’s phone records show Pollyanna and Peter continued texting furiously.
What about frantically? Or orgasmically? Can you text ruttingly?
And then we get:
He knew his wife – the daughter of a bishop – had met Peter at a dinner hosted by OK! magazine boss Richard Desmond
Anyone else read that and feel a sneer creeping on their face? A Channel Five presenter is making front-page news about alleged dalliances with an OK! stalwart. Yep. Channel Five and OK! are both owned by Richard Desmond.

JUSTIN Bieber took his mime act from the X Factor to the Mayfair eatery La Porte Des Indes. Bieber entered the restaurant a boy. He left a man. The service was not slow.
