Shaheen Jafargholi Wins Britain’s Got Talent

SUSAN Boyle is old Britain’s Got Talent news; old and frumpy Britain’s Got Equal Opportunities news. The new news is Shaheen Jafargholi. He’s got pliability, likeability and the potential to lend his name to a range of hair gels – Put the Shaheen in your hair – (Max, call me), sell dreams to the pre-teens and hope to their mums.

Shaheen Jafargholi can do it all. But first things first: before he can become a star, Shaheen needs to be patronised by Hollywood shape-shifter Demi Moore.

SUSAN Boyle Watch: Anorak’s looks at Britain’s Got Talent agonist Susan Boyle in the news, with Demi Moore and the City of Detroit…

Demi Moore dazzled by Britain’s Got Talent’s Shaheen

Having gone bonkers for the Boyle, Demi Moore has a new idol to stalk:

Young Britain’s Got Talent star Shaheen Jafargholi has wowed Hollywood star Demi Moore. Moore, who is married to Ashton Kutcher, revealed on her Twitter site that she thought the 12-year-old from Swansea was “awesome”.

Twitter is dead. What about Susan? Oh, my love, my darling…

Anorak Fact: DEMI Moore has been watching Susan Boyle – a woman who is exactly what Moore would look like without surgery!

The actress became a fan of Susan Boyle after watching her surprise performance last week, but this week she was just as blown away by the young Swansea star.

Not long after the show, Demi posted a Youtube clip to the performance on her site and said: “Wow, this kid is something else.”

Britain’s Got Talent’s Shaheen Jafargholi Beats Susan Boyle

MOVE over Susan Boyle, here comes Shaheen Jafargholi to wow Britain’s Got Talent’s resident blonde Amanda Holden. As she says:

“It doesn’t happen to me very often but I do the goosebump test. I got it with Paul Potts, I got it with George Sampson and I got it with you.”

She didn’t get it with Boyle. Boyle failed to make Holden’s skin crawl.

And here is Shaheen Jafargholi. He’s cute. He’s 12. He’s got the sympathetic back story – he lives with his single mum. And he’s got his and dear old grandpa to walk on stage and solicit a big “Awww, shucks”.

Susan Boyle’s Puppy Love For Donny Osmond And Auditions For Emmerdale

SUSAN Boyle Watch: Anorak’s looks at Britain’s Got Talent agonist Susan Boyle in the news – with Donny Osmond, Emmerdale and Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger…

Hacks across the world are pressing F9 on their keyboards and telling their readers of Susan Boyle – bad hair; frumpy; never judge book by cover; sings; Scots; smug Cowell; cat; dead mum; virgin. Facts.

The media facts on a woman aged 48 are stock. And she is 48. Or 47? Such is the standard of reporting on Susan Boyle that the hacks cannot agree on her age. (It’s 47.) But all the other titbits on Boyle appear in every article on Susie Simple, of which there are thousands.

New Fact Alert

Britain’s Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle owes her dazzling voice to a teenage obsession with Donny Osmond, her brother reveals today…

And when it wasn’t Donny – whose 1972 hit Puppy Love she knew off by heart – she was driving her family berserk by repeatedly blasting out the soundtrack to Grease – especially You’re The One That I Want…

“Susan was what you would call a loner,” says Gerard, who at 53 is the closest in age to 47-year-old Susan, the youngest member of the family. She was happiest on her own, playing her records and losing herself in music. She didn’t really interact with other children”…

“Eventually she retreated into her own world. Music became her thing.”

Susan Boyle Watch: Susie Simple Stalked By Demi Moore And Meets Oprah Winfrey



SUSAN Boyle Watch: Anorak’s looks at Britain’s Got Talent agonist Susan Boyle in the news…

Never been kissed?

Says Neighbour Brian Smith, 51:

“It’s not true Susan’s never been kissed. I’ve given her many a peck on the cheek to say ‘Don’t worry, everything’s going to be all right’. She comes to me when she needs help or a shoulder to cry on…I never knew her to have a birthday party because she was busy caring for her mother” –


Daily Mirror

Assuming she is a Protestant, and I may be wrong, but let’s assume it anyway, Scottish Protestant church going is about one thing – avoiding physical and emotional contact with another human being… Susan Boyle comes from a place where confidence can be in short measures, like the whiskey. But not her. She pulled out her talent to show them, almost to spite them. Look at me. I’ve never been kissed. Never touched. Don’t need it. –
Alan Black, SF Gate

Oprah Winfrey Twitters Keith Chegwin

TWITTER is the future of newspaper industry. Before we get to Oprah Winfrey failing to Twitter Keith Chegwin, here’s the plan:

What happens is that one pundit says or writes something about a person using Twitter. Other pundits agree. Some pundits disagree and say something else. Then all the pundits agree that there are two sides to the argument and balance is all. A few pundita go head-to-head on the telly or a webcam. The story continues until a pundit spots another person using Twitter…

Jade Goody And The Twiglet Weed In Tweed

MORE news on “JAILED Jack Tweed”, Mr Jade Goody, who has earned not only a new epithet (he was once Grieving Jack) but new muscles having “taken up weight training after fellow lags branded him The Twiglet.”

So says the Sun in its Suicide Watch Column.

(Note: Twiglets – Max, call me…)

A source said: “Jack’s new nickname is The Twiglet, or Twiglet Tweed. A lot of the inmates train in case the worst happens and they have to defend themselves, so he has asked one of the bigger guys if he will help him out in the gym.”

Susan Boyle Watch: Susan Meets Demi Moore And Kisses Drew Barrymore

SUSAN Bolye Watch – Anorak’s look at Britain’s Got Talent agonist Susan Boyle in the news. Today Susan is bigger than Obama and Tweet on celebs…

Heal The World

Tom Morris uses his Huffington Post column to say: “Susan Boyle Energizes the World.”

There is communal thinking on Twitter on a level and in a form I’ve never seen before. Almost every day, a topic comes up that causes me, as a philosopher, to ponder a bit, and then share the results of that pondering in the 140 character increments that Twitter allows. Today, someone mentioned Susan Boyle, the lady who has made such a stir worldwide with her recent appearance on the television show Britain’s Got Talent…

Keep in mind the 140 character format, if you’re not familiar with Twitter, and the need for a topic announcement with each offering, as every one of them has to stand on its own or be lost in the fast moving stream of Heraclitean tweets.

Video: Barack Obama On Susan Boyle

SUSAN Boyle is becoming all things to all journalists.

Early days in the Britain’s Got Talent TV show, and the temptation must be for Boyle to retire in the knowledge that the show needs her more than she needs the show. A stint on Love Island awaits.

Hereunder is a round-up of Boyle news:

Demi Who?

But a spokesman for the ITV talent show said: “I called Susan to tell her when I read about her famous fans in The Sun but she seemed a bit bemused. “She had no idea who Ashton was and although she’d heard of Demi, she didn’t really know who she was. But now she is very grateful for their support” – The Sun

Read Susan & Me, by Demi Moore here.

Tears across the pond:

Unemployed Susan, from West Lothian in Scotland, has now received interview requests from as far away as Australia and the U.S. She even featured on America’s prestigious NBC Today Show – where a presenter cried as she watched the clip – Daily Mail

Bigger than BO:

Thursday (prediction): Susan Boyle surpasses Barack Obama as the most popular human being on the planet – Mother Jones

Message in a Boyle:

Watching the first part of Boyle’s performance video is cringe-worthy enough, because you realize how rude and cynical our culture has become – Suffolk News Herald

Live from Scottishland:

The 47-year-old singer with the heavenly voice will perform on Thursday’s “Early Show” — from her kitchen in Scotland – Orlando Sentinel

No kissing:

Unless you live under a rock, you know about the Scottish woman who has taken the industrialized World by storm: Susan Boyle.

What I identify with about Ms. Boyle is, I myself…my Mom called and said Boyle was the next Julie Andrews.

SF Gate

She’s got big balls:

Big Jack Baloney from Canada writes: As a huge AC/DC fan for years now, I have to admit Susan Boyle brought me to tears…I cried tears I didn’t even know existed, wow, every time I watch her it moves me so much, my whole family is impressed by the unbelievable talent and soul that is…SUSAN BOYLE! – The Globe & Mail Letters

Jade?

Susan Boyle is an angel – The Globe & Mail Letters

Susan Boyle & Me:

Susan Boyle and me – The Times, SA

Doe, Ray, Me-Me-Me:

But I betcha you have a dream that’s been shoved deep into the Odd Sock Drawer of your subconscious, buried under the immediacy and minutiae of life, or beaten senseless by the weight of More Pressing Things. Do you even remember what it was? Was it driving 140 across the New Mexico desert? Hang-Gliding? Opening your own cafe? Finishing college? Do you even remember that moment when you tucked it away, filed it under “Later”? Susan Boyle never forgot hers. Oh, she popped it into the Sock Drawer, too. But she evidently goes to her Sock Drawer more often than we do – Seattle pi .com

Prince Harry’s Mate Caught In Police Chase

BEING a copper isn’t all about beating people up – if you’re lucky you can beat people up after you’ve chased them at high speeds for a new TV show starring Prince Harry’s top squeeze Natalie Pinkham.

While the police locate a photogenic volunteer to take the rap (surely limelight? – ed) for beating up Ian Tomlinson, the Mail reports that telly presenter Natalie Pinkham played the part of a car thief for the Channel Five series Police Interceptors.

There goes Pinkham in a 180mph Lamborghini sports car, pursued by officers in two 150mph patrol cars.

WE’RE all going crazy for Susan Boyle, the woman who showed Saturday night telly watchers that you don’t need to show your false chest, wood-stained skin and G-string to get on telly, but can keep it all under wraps, like Susan Boyle did.

Susan is in interview, and has this to say:

“Modern society is too quick to judge people on their appearances. There is not much you can do about it; it is the way they think; it is the way they are. But maybe this could teach them a lesson, or set an example.”
