The John Nathan-Turner story: Sex, paedos and Dr Who at the BBC
IAN Berriman has reviewed The Life And Scandalous Times Of John Nathan-Turner. He died in 2002. In life, he was notable as the producer of the hit BBC TV show Doctor Who (1980-89). Given the revelations about BBC stalwart Jimmy Savile and other allegations levelled against other former BBC employees, the book’s publication is sure to be of interest to the elite in Broadcasting House.

Notorious B.I.G. to return to our TV as a cartoon ghost
NINETIES hip-hop is having a huge renaissance currently, mainly because it lends faux-credibility to horribly middle-class people, much like rock ‘n’ roll did in the ’70s. With that, comes a lot of opportunities for weird cash-ins. Tupac appeared as a hologram with Snoop and Dre on-stage and now, Notorious B.I.G. is to appear on our televisions as a cartoon ghost, like he’s Casper with an AK.
Biggie’s kids, CJ and T’yanna Wallace, have announced the plans, saying:
“It’s been 16 years since our dad was murdered and we miss him dearly.”
“This project is a great opportunity for us to bridge the gap between our parents, who loved his music, and the kids and young adults our ages, that were not around to really appreciate it.”

Kim Kardashian injects her face with blood
KIM KARDASHIAN’S face is retaining blood. Life & Style reports that she’s been having a Vampire Facelift:
“It was crazy,” a pal of Kim’s tells Life & Style about her vampire lift, which was done in Miami. “The doctor took the blood from Kim’s arm and spun it [in a centrifuge] to separate the platelets. The blood was then rubbed onto Kim’s face. After that, they did something called ‘needling,’ where all these little needles prick the skin and let the platelets seep in. It was so gross!”

James Franco and Little Oz Franco are working the room
JAMES Franco and his Oz doll are on the Walk of Fame, reading books and being at large. Franco is the likeable weed dealer in Pineapple Expres, Sean Penn’s lover in Milk, himself playing others in Erased James Franco, ‘Franco’ in General Hospital, and in the stage show Masculinity and Me, reportedly, he peppered his monologues with footage of a urinating penis and a defecating anus.
In one photograph of James and his new pal, the near-catatonic Franco clutches Little Franco like his onetime Oscar co-host Anne Hathaway holds her Oscar. Tightly. Never letting go.
At last they’re having fun. An they’re not creepy, like Karl and his pocket love toy:

Justin Bieber challenges a photographer to a fight (shanking with laughter)
SO. Farwell, Justin Bieber, You came late; your left earl; you fainted; and you told a paparazzi you’d “f****** beat the f*** out” him. The pap had told Bieber to “get back to America”. He’s Canadian. American might have brought the world, drones, hydrogenated fat and one kind of cheese but do not lay Biber at their door. Do your research.
Thankfully, Bieber’s minders prevented carnage by restraining the singer with a wet paper bag.

Alvin Lee goes home (RIP)
LAST week, Alvin Lee of Ten Years After died. He was just 68. On Lee’s website we read:
With great sadness we have to announce that Alvin unexpectedly passed away early this morning after unforseen complications following a routine surgical procedure. We have lost a wonderful much-loved father and companion, the world has lost a truly great and gifted musician. Jasmin, Evi and Suzanne.”
Lee left Ten Years After in 1973. He then recorded 14 solo albums.
Ten Years After were popular in their native UK, but it in 1969, when they wowed Woodstock, that things went big. That was Lee’s defining moment. Not every musician gets one.
Lester Bangs said Lee was a “…crude sonic Model T, who could not only reproduce Chuck Berry licks by the bushel, but play them at 78 rpm as well:

Faint Justin Bieber skips the drugs and the madness to become his generation’s Val Doonican
JUSTIN Bieber’s London shows are making news. Having turned up two hours late on the first night (children left in tears to catch trains home), the pop amoeba with great hair (it’s all about the hair) left the stage mid-song because he was “light of breath”. He then fainted backstage.
Bieber did as he must and took to Twitter: “Thanks for everyone pulling me thru tonight. Best fans in the world. Figuring out what happened. Thanks for the love.”

Justin Bieber can cause depression in non-golfers

Russell Crowe has filmed a real UFO outside his office in Woolloomooloo (and fruit bats)
IF we’re being honest with ourselves, actors seem a bit mental don’t they? They don’t work very often and they’re the most paranoid people on Earth. Their imaginations run wild and they end up acting oddly in public.
And so, to Russell Crowe who has posted a video on YouTube which he claims shows a UFO passing by his office window in Sydney.

Celine Dion makes the kinky mouse look her own
WHAT did they do with Celine Dion? When the singer of the theme song to stricken vessels, My Heart Will Go On (don’t scream “Mayday” and describe your pain – just play the song loud and help will surely come your way) arrived at V magazine, what were they thinking? Not sure what to make of Celine’s outfit, so we’ll hark back to what entertainment.com said of Celine’s Dion’s super-short dress sported at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival: “Celine accidentally flashes her fans!” Which leads to the question: what are yours called?

Justin Bieber: The birth of the Super Brat
FOR some time now, Justin Bieber has been an arsehole. He’s flipped the bird at photographers, implied that women deserved to be raped, vomited on-stage, been accused of being unfaithful to Selena Gomez, smoked, boozed, not given too frigs if his fans cut themselves and now, he’s turning up late for shows showing incredible contempt for his wickle fans.
Now he’s in his late teens, he’s all set to implode. We advise you get some popcorn in and watch the show.

Justin Bieber’s 02 gig in photos: The Michael Jackson Ronseal tour

There are stories of his young fans falling asleep, making full use of the commemorative pull-ups and being bit with Michael Jackson songs whilst they waited in their seats (cost: £56 ty £330 each). Bieber went on Twitter to explain: “It’s my prostate…” No:
“Since I have been here it hasn’t been easy with the press at times but I have loved it. So let me say this… Last night i was scheduled after 3 opening acts to go on stage at 935 not 830 but because of some technical issues I got on at 10:10. So… i was 40 min late to stage. there is no excuse for that and I apologize for anyone we upset. However it was great show (sic) and Im proud of that”

Peter Wyngarde: when ‘Rape ‘ was King and gross indecency wore vinyl and velvet
THE Daily Mail is never slow to point out, in merciless detail, the physical and sartorial shortcomings of any celebrity, be they great or small.
“When Seventies television star Peter Wyngarde was spotted out shopping near his West London home last week it was clear his fashion sense had deserted him a long time ago” ran the caption to a picture of a well-preserved gentleman in his late seventies, dressed in fashionable casual clothes.

Reflections on Iceberg Slim: the chronicler of male-female relations
I FIRST read Iceberg Slim’s autobiography Pimp when I was a teenager. The title, the women, the vice and the slang made it exotic, but the story was down and dirty. The women were often wild and fierce. By the end of the book, Slim was man ho’d lived and been chewed up by life. To me, this was no glorifying of the skin game.
