Take That Announce Latest Comeback With Comatose Press Conference: Video And Photos
TAKE That were at Radio 1 to sell their stuff. And thrill fans with talk of second comeback tour.
The Daily Mail pours it usual bile on the event by looking at Robbie Williams and opining:
With the top of his hair teased into a quiff-style, Robbie appeared to be attempting to hide his silvery locks as he arrived at the studios with Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald.
Yeah, Because that’s how you hide going grey isn’t – by giving your hair a curl. It’s why self-billed blondes like Doris (79) Old Mr Anorak’s stamp archivist has given her luscious locks a soft curl.

Keith Richards Snorts Dad In Rolling Stones Gonzo Snuff Movie
KEITH Richards, of the Rolling Stones, says in his memoirs Life that his did snort his dad Bert’s ashes:
“The truth of the matter is that after having Dad’s ashes in a black box for six years, because I really couldn’t bring myself to scatter him to the winds, I finally planted a sturdy English oak to spread him around.
“And as I took the lid off of the box, a fine spray of his ashes blew out on to the table. I couldn’t just brush him off so I wiped my finger over it and snorted the residue.
“Ashes to ashes, father to son. He is now growing oak trees and would love me for it.”
So. Keith inhaled his dad. And Ronnie Wood smoked meringues:
“It got to the point where I would be on my hands and knees looking for crumbs that might have fallen out of the crack pipe. I even banned my children eating meringues in the house after I ended up smoking sugar, believing it to be cocaine.”

Q Awards 2010 In Photos: On The Skinny With Pop’s Littlest Award
THE 2010 Q Awards were a swanky affair. We’ve got all the photos of the winners holding their stolen Quaglino’s ashtrays mounted on a small metal beer mat. The bigger the actual trophy the less meaningful the prize, so the saying goes. Polo, for instance has cups with their own postcodes. Football has a small statuette. The Q Awards are thus steeped in significance. Enjoys the photos – picture 4 is brilliant. Ann Widdecombe has joined the Charlatans…

Sex Pistol In Toyota Prius Horror Story

Kanye West’s Runaway Is 35 Minutes Of Credits And Underwear: Video and Photos
KANYE West has produced a 35-minute long video for his new song Runaway. The song is three minutes of dry grunting as Kanye humps his own legs. This followed by 32 minutes of credits in which a lit of people thank Kanye for existing as Kanye says ”yeah” over and over. It’s humbling stuff.
There is also time for Kanye to show off his car, a Lamborghini. It has an accident. Kayne is unscathed. Naturally. He can only be killed by being ignored.

Cheryl Cole Interview: Jelly Baby Flour Pain And Other Heartaches
CHERLY Cole is on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories weeping and talking about herself and her struggle. As she tells BBC Radio 1’s Sarah Cox, this is her chance to “give myself a voice back.”
So says lip-syncing, auto tuning Cheryl. And, in any case, she had no choice but to talk about herself on the telly:
“I felt like I had to. It had reached a point when things had got so ridiculous – rumours and stories – and people were starting to get this idea I’m somebody I’m not.”
In the Guardian, Cheryl makes a vow:
“I will never talk about my personal life again.”
The interview with Simon Hattenstone has a few highlights:
Today, she still looks a little fragile*. I offer her some of my sweets.
“I’ll have a wine gum,” she says.
“What’s wrong with jelly babies?”
“I don’t like the flour on them. It goes through us.”
On Ashley Cole:
“I know to a lot of people the headlines and the stories they read are like some sick entertainment or soap opera, but it’s my life and I’m really dealing with it.”
That’s her life on the telly, on Piers Morgan’s show. That’s her life as she sells her marriage photos to OK! magazine. That’s her life as she poses for the National Lottery dressed in white with Ashley. Who talked babies. Who told us about her and Ashley’s bath-time fun. Is this a sick soap opera? If so, who provides the scriptwriters with their ideas?

Pamela Anderson Advertises Breast Meat For Peta: The Sexy Sexism Gallery
PAMELA Anderson has been chopped into bits of flesh for her Peta advert, who has already been playing in the US and has been banned in Canada for being sexist.
Meaty Pammy – good enough to sink your teeth into (although watch out for the plastic bags) says:
“I decided to do this provocative style because there is so much competition for people’s attention today, so Peta and I wanted to make sure the message couldn’t be ignored… The butcher diagram is the perfect thing to parody, because it allows you to use your own body as a protest tool.”

Michael Jackson And Elvis: Lisa Marie Presley Tells Oprah What Happened
LISA Marie Presley, Elvis’s daughter, lives in Tunbridge Wells, England. It’s more private over here than in LA, a place obsessed with the vapid Weltschmerz of the ‘Me’.
England is just more free and easy. Sure Lisa, reportedly, asked staff at her mansion to sign a privacy document – an agreement not to talk about their work. One source told the Sun:
“It was like they were being asked to sign the Official Secrets Act. It was way over the top and they felt it was a total infringement of their human rights. “Staff could not speak to their husbands, wives or even their grandchildren about what they did.”
Said Lisa Marie of her family’s move:
“We have found the quality of life so much more enriching and fulfilling. The civility, the culture, the people and its beauty have reawakened me and have smoothed out some of my bleak and jagged views about people and life.”
So. Here’s Lisa Marie on the deep and meaningful Oprah Winfrey show, an interview conducted at here English idyll. Kent is not LA, but you can always bring some over.

Miley Cyrus Empowers Young Women (And Boys Like It Too)
MILEY Cyrus is not using her teenage sex appeal to flog records and be famous. MTV (via PopEater) Miley said that she hopes that her new image empowers young women:
It’s just about freeing yourself from anything you think is holding you back. And I think that’s really important, especially for girls, because so many people are told, ‘No, you can’t do something,’ or, ‘You need to be this because mom and dad say that, teachers say this.’
Sounds like the “Can’t Be Tamed” chanteuse is a modern day Betty Friedan!

MOBO Awards 2010 Baskstage Photos: Tinie Tempah, JLS And A Living God
THE MOBO Awards 2010 backstage photos show Billy Ocean looking like he’s risen from the sea with a Trident in his hands. Tinie Tempah won an award that we except to see worn as a necklace – he’s best newcomer. Other acts that won and sat at round tables: JLS (surely up for a duet with X Factor deportee Gamu), Eminem (the biggest act could not but it is overwhelmed by the support of his British fans etc.), N-Dubz, Professor Green and Plan B.
MOBO founder Kanya King had a little gloat on stage:
“Now here we are 15 years later and urban music is the new pop music and I hate to say this, but we told you so.”
Isn’t urban music, now that’s popular, also pop music? (Red carpet photos here.)

JOHN-Claude Van Damme has had a heart attack? Or as Sky News says:

“Hours ago, I read a rumor online about me suffering a heart attack. Please do not believe all what you read from rumours on any unofficial JVCD sites. Jean-Claude Van Damme is 100 percent healthy, training well for taking the fight and sending his fans and friends much love.”
