Eurovision 2011: Jedward Reject Revolution In Qatar To Sing For Ireland
EUROVISION: Jedward are the offcial entry of Ireland in the Eurovision song contest. By now many of you might have thought Jedward would have developed their talents aways from the performing arts, perhaps as a new food addictive that triggers hyperactivity in toddlers, a twin trophy at an ATP tour event or lent their name to a Revolution in Qatar. But processed food’s lost is music’s gain as the brother Grimes sing “Lipstick” at the Eurovision semi-finals of the contest in Dusseldorf.

British Humour In Crisis: Japan Bans Fry And Mexico Hates Top Gear
TOP Gear front man Jeremy Clarkson and his sidekicks have fallen foul of Mexico. The country’s ambassador Eduardo Medina-Mora has made a complaint to the BBC about comments made by Richard Hammond in his latest attempt to brown nose Clarkson:
In the show, during a discussion about a sports car made by Mexican firm Mastretta, presenter Richard Hammond said vehicles reflected national characteristics.
“Mexican cars are just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat,” he said.
He forgot to mention the cocaine and the flu. But he did add:
“These offensive, xenophobic and humiliating remarks only serve to reinforce negative stereotypes and perpetuate prejudice against Mexico and its people.”
The BBC says the joke “may appear offensive to those who have not watched the programme or who are unfamiliar with its humour“.

Amanda Knox: Photos From The TV Film Of Meredith Kercher’s Murder
THE death of Meredith Kercher has been televised. The film is called Amanda Knox: Murder On Trial In Italy. No, it’s not called Knox On Trial For Murder. It’s not The Meredith Kercher Story – the victim just wasn’t considered blonde enough to capture the imagination of the TV-viewing public. It’s a title that puts Italy on trial, suggests Knox is innocent and appeals to armchair detectives to fathom out the case.
In the film, you can see Amanda Fernando Stevens (Meredith) being attacked by three actors playing the trio convicted of her murder. Hayden Panettiere (Amanda Knox), Raffaele Sollecito (Paolo Romio) and Rudy Guede (Djirbi Kebe) are all assembled for their big moment. There is a bit of groping and kissing and Kercher’s clothes come lose.

Andy Gray And Richard Keys Gone: Now For The BBC’s Sexist Perry Groves
RICHARD Keys and Andy Gray have been routed from pay-per-view satellite TV. People who don’t pay to watch football on Sky Sports need never hear their sniveling, debased off air comments again.
But the Touchline Taliban are many in face and voice. Take the BBC’s Perry Groves in the Sun:
“I know a lot of women and they’re not consistent from hour to hour. Footballers want the rules to be applied consistently and this wouldn’t happen with women refs. It’s hard enough for male refs to earn respect from players. With a woman in charge, players will be thinking: ‘You know nothing about football’. Also, let’s face it, women have periods and we all know how hormones affect them. Would women refs be banned during their ‘time of the month’ because they might be more emotional, depressed or aggressive?”
