Man Pulled From Path Of Speeding Train

AT Madrid’s Puerta del Angel station, a man has fallen onto the track. People look on. Some wave their arms. Because you can stop a speeding train by waving your arms. One man takes a more direct approach. The 30-year-old police officer pulls stricken figure to safety:

The Norwegian News Flash Flasher

THE Norwegian news flash is NSFW. It adds to the Norwegian news oeuvre, a body of work that features The Weather In Norwegian, the Daily Mirror’s Live TV show in which Eva Bjertnes or Anne-Marie Foss wore bikinis over their occluded fronts…

X Factor: One Direction And Cher Lloyd Enter The Dead Zone At Secret Gig (Photos)

TO the X Factor secret gig at London’s Hospital Club. We watched One Direction (Louis Tomlinson (Cheeky One), Niall Horan (Irish One), Liam Payne (Singing One), Harry Styles (Curly One) and Zain Malik (Carried One); Mary Byrne; Matt Cardle; Rebecca Ferguson; and Cher Lloyd. We wondered which one is the new hate figure who will make the show interesting. After the freak zone, the crying zone and the hate zone, the show is now in the dead zone. There will four acts in the final. So, which one leaves..?

I’m A Celebrity: Gillian McKeith Flavours Her Sanitary Towels With Herb Cubes

GILLIAN McKeith aka Gillian The Reptilian, was rumbled in the jungle. The woman who sniffs poo and then tells the fat they are abnormal, who is phobic about everything besides cameras, says she is “so pleased now I’m away from it all“.

This was Gillian’s chance to get back on the telly, her rightful place (or so she surely imagines). She spoke in TV tones, stating that if she did not do as instructed she would never work in TV again – as if TV was an actual place with rules and bylaws and not a massive void waiting to be filled by the vapid and needy and anyone with bit of paper that says “EXPERT”.

Says Gillian in answer to the question: “What surprised you the most in the camp?”

“During one Celebrity Chest, we were told about the number of Google hits we’d been receiving. I was amazed by the amount of hits I’d had in the jungle. Then I thought, ‘Wow, how embarrassing. That’s because of the whole fainting thing’.”

The Paedo Bikini Gamehow

PULL on your Peado Bikini and tune into Anorak TV’s game show of the 80s.

It’s Just Like Mom, “in which the object of the game was to see how obscenely inappropriate the host could get with the child contestants before being carted off to the big house.”

OK. Mr Daily What is kidding. It wasn’t the Big House – it was a Catholic reconditioning centre in Berlin…

Those were innocent times.

Brian Cant Found With Bafta: Anyone see Derek Griffiths?

BRIAN Cant, where have you been?

The face of Play Away and Play School, the man who took us though those halcyon TV days calling out the names of Captain Flack’s Trumpton fire brigade in order and at a sensible steady pace, popped up on the news radar to accept a Bafta for his services to your childhood.

He was the smiling, amused antidote to Johnny Morris.

Women Force Men In Female-Only Train Carriage To Do Sit-Ups

THERE’S a female only carriage on the Delhi Metro. But men still get onboard. Then police did a spot check at Guru Dronacharya station. The men were fined Rs 250. They were then beaten by the women and forced them to do sit-ups.

Who would you ban from your carriage on the train? Anorak would have a carriage where it was compulsory for anyone calling the office to put the call on loudspeaker, so allowing everyone to hear both sides of the conversation.

X Factor: One Direction Out Of Sync Say Simon Cowell Clones

X FACTOR judge Dannii Minogue says One Direction are not in sync. Dannii opens her mouth and says:

“It happened the whole way through the song last week. It’s only two minutes so they have to learn. Simon would point it out if it was my band.”

And that’s what’s wrong with the X Factor: there is one Simon Cowell and three people pretending to be him.

It’s getting to be like Top Gear, where Jeremy Clarkson once got to be the only Jeremy Clarkson while two lickspittles guffawed at his jokes and were sent off to try to do something zany for him to appraise – like two trainees presenting to their mentor (since we are on the X Factor theme). Then the yes men got spin-off shows and started to behave like Jeremy Clarkson. The man became a formula.

Katie Price Is Too Good For The Today Show

KATIE Price has been invited to guest-edit the BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. How can it have taken so long for one of the countries most prolific authors and thinkers to edit a newspaper, let alone a radio show?

Why has Richard Desmond persisted in putting Jordan on the cover of OK! to sell magazines, and bastardised her words on his newspaper’s cover to give credence to its newsy purpose, and not just gone all in and employed Price fulltime to save his lamentable organ and allow us to experience her undiluted every day?

X Factor: Did One Direction Mime Over Shayne Ward’s Vocals?

X FACTOR’S 2005 winner Shayne Ward (yes, he did) says One Direction are miming. Says Shayne, with great relevance:

“They shouldn’t mime but there has to be a reason. With X Factor you do loads of interviews – a lot of talking. So when it comes to the weekend voices are shot. You can tell they’re hurting because they don’t want to mime. Not that I ever did it.”

It’s hard to remember what Ward did do. When Anorak heard Shayne Ward had made a comment on the X Factor we misheard and wondered why Shane Warne had stooped so low an was carving out post-cricket career as an X Factor pundit.

X Factor: Katie Waissel’s Sister Natalie Davis Speaks Of Granny Porn: Photos

KATIE Waissel’s sister Natalie Davis is ready to talk. She wants to talk about their grandmother Sheila Vogel, and her life as the wonderful superannuated porn star Ruby Tuesday and prostitute Cecilia Bird.

Natalie poses for photos and says she and her family are “completely shocked” by granny. Says she:

“We were completely shocked and devastated to hear of the news that my grandmother, Sheila Vogel, has been conducting immoral activities, including prostitution and pornography. We, as a family, disassociate ourselves wholly from these activities and from any future stories that arise from them.”

And what better way to distance yourself from them than by speaking to the press and posing for photos..?

“I know he isn’t the best singer, but the public want him there. The judges should chill out a bit.”
