American Idol Kris Allen In Haiti, In Pictures

THANKS to American Idol winner Kris Allen, Haiti is back in the news. Allen was pictured with a young Haitian girl during a UN Foundation visit to recovery and rebuilding programs in Port-au-Prince. He then sang a song on an acoustic guitar. The cynics would say the audience was captive to the grandstanding celeb. They see the scene from Airplane. The reality is that whatever breaks up the day and improves the lives of the dispossessed can only be good…

Lacy Turner screamed “Charlie” (the actor is called Charlie Clements), Peggy Mitchell called Janine “June”, Ronnie Mitchell shoplifted from the Mini-Mart (took paint-stripper, for make-up removal, without paying) and the cops were portrayed as idiots.

Says Detective Inspector Laan Kalbfell, of the City of London Police:

“Viewers will think this is how detectives operate – it’s not. This is damaging to the profession.”

Farrah Fawcett: Presenting The Sequel To Farrah’s Cancer Death Show

7293284FARRAH Fawcett is dead. And her career enters a new phase. After the soft-focus made-fot-telly celebrity cancer show, another show is being made for the magic box. Want to see a sequel to Farrah’s death? Want to see her cloned? We broke the news Filming Farrah Fawcett’s Funeral For A Sequel.

Anorak’s Man in LA reports on the lates.

First a question:

Will Farrah Fawcett’s death be included in the sequel to “Farrah’s Story” now being produced by Ryan O’Neal?

RYAN O’Neal has begun production on a sequel to the maligned and Emmy-nominated Farrah’s Story television special, and the question left hanging is whether Farrah Fawcett’s death will be included.
Farrah’s Story was a revamped version of Farrah’s cancer journal documentary that aired to high ratings in May 2009, a little more than a month before Farrah’s death. Cameras continued to roll through the final weeks of Farrah’s life, however, and there have been whispers that cameras were there as Farrah passed.
Ratings-hungry NBC has not been shy in showing the moment of death, as demonstrated last week of in its constant replaying of the brutal luge accident death of an Olympic athlete.

Katie Price And Peter Andre’s Public Row Over Princess Tiamii’s Hair In A Test Card Special: Pictures

katie-price27KATIE Price and Peter Andre’s new conversation piece is “paedo” picture suject Princess Tiamii. Having seen her painted face, fans of watching two-year-olds on the telly can see her getting her hair straightened.

Katie and Pricness Tenaladymee are the ITV2 test card, a commercial station’s update on the BBC filler which features a girl with unmoving face playing noughts and crosses with a clown.

Which is which is a moot point. Should the glue from Princess’s eyelash drip onto her face and Katie overdo the felt tip eyebrows, mum can be daughter and daughter can be mum. Zeros and Xs. Xs and Zeros.

LINDSAY Lohan is too big for London. Lohan has been in London, saving Haiti and shopping in Kurt Geiger, or for Kurt Geiger bags in which Haitians can store food, shoes and clutch bags.

Kerry Katona Sheds Her Husband And Takes KeBabies Abroad

79206861KERRY Katona has dumped husband Mark Croft? The Sun says it’s so. Kerry has dumped him before. Can you dump someone more than once. Yes, you can, if you’re Kerry Katona.

The paper says Kerry “fled” the couple’s home, taking the four little Kebabies with her. It’s a fact because the Daily Mail’s “insider” tells us in the most ambiguous words imaginable:

“It’s fair to say Kerry and Mark are certainly not together at the moment.”

All we want is everyone to be fair…

Liam Gallagher’s North London Tantrum On Twitter At Peter Kay’s Northern ‘Knobhead’

8385989LIAM Gallagher – no, not the one who wrote the Oasis hit songs and sing-along lyrics and sang the songs: that’s Noel Gallagher – was out in public with grown ups having a spat with Peter Kay.

Gallagher was called on stage at the music AGM to accept a gong for selling loads of units. The Oasis album (What’s the Story?) Morning Glory won the Best Album Of The Last Thirty Years. It will be a full ten years until the album can win the best Album of The Last 40 Years award and Liam Gallagher can be summoned to a moribund procession of reality telly singers and PR dross with his brand of brattishness.

You can buy the gong he accepted on stage. Gallagher gone to the show and sat in the seats and waited until he was called, Liam was out to prove he was ever the rebel.

Boyle’s on her way back from Italy’s Sanremo Festival and “with one hand held pensively to her face and the other clasped by a concerned friend, it looks as if Susan Boyle was on the verge of another crisis.
