X Factor Cher Lloyd And The Swizz: Video Rap
X FACTOR wannabe Cher Lloyd, the Cheryl Cole clone – Kelly Brook’s Team America voodoo puppet (Ally Ross) – told viewers she made up lyrics for her rap on last weekend’s show. She wondered if the show was ready for her.
Lloyd then blurted out a few lines about Tiger Woods before singing Coldplay’s Viva La Vida.
Her lines? If so, she might care to sue Swizz Beatz, who used very similar words in their version of the same song.
What are the odds, readers..?

Inside Soap Awards 2010: Debbie Rush Thrashes EastEnders Again (Photos)
THE Inside Soap Awards were held at the Zulu-themed bar Shaka Zulu eatery in Camden, London. The first post-summer telly AGM was staged in a restaurant in north-west London. The awards were as ridiculous as the setting, of course, when compared to the only award that matters: who gets the most viewings?
The pick of the gongs was the glass sail EastEnders’ Charlie Clements scooped for ‘Best Exit’, after falling to his death from a rooftop during the show’s live episode. Of course, it wasn’t actually Clements who died. It was a stuntman. So the best exit should have been his. And Clements isn’t dead – he’s merely resting. But the biggest shock was that Debbie Rush was not vote Sexiest Woman in Soap. What more can she do..?

BY now you’ll be bored of reading about Ray Boddington, who “shot to fame” on the X FAcor in 2007. But indulge us because Ray has been arrested.
“But in February, retired hairdresser Ray, 69, was caught by police scrawling ‘Salfords Ray B X Factor’ in permanent marker on the side of CabCo on Great Cheetham Street East, where he lives.”
As Anorak reader Karen writes:
If he wasn’t caught red-handed it wouldn’t have taken a genius to work out who to question first.

Rebecca Ferguson Is This Week’s X Factor Victim
TIME to meet his week’s X Factor heroine Rebecca Ferguson, who has beaten the bullies to become the latest singing sensation to perform at Simon Cowell’ school of karaoke.
The Star has a few words with Ferguson, but only after she’s been introduced by James Ingham. She is a “talented single mum-of-two” who “grew up on a poor council estate” and is “mixed-race”.
The Daily Mail should hate her. But she’s pretty and from Liverpool, where the Sun doesn’t sell and the Star can be the number one paper. So here’s Ferguson:
“I was bullied as a kid because my family were poor and I never had the right clothes or toys…
“I used to walk home from school crying because of all the bullying. But through everything singing was my only escape.”

The Search For A Right-Wing Villain – An Iowahawk Reality TV Special
FROM Allahpundit comes late breaking Washington showbiz news that another slasher flick fromWhite House–Sulzberger–CBS Narrative Films has landed with a thud at the box office. As a result the studio will drop promising newcomer villain John Boehner and greenlight a big budget sequel starring – wait for it – Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh, writs Iowahawk.
More than anything, what really chaps my hide about this development is the lack of imagination. Why should these same boring overexposed studio “stars” get to hog all the limelight, when there are tens of millions of undiscovered amateur right wingers out here with the raw talent to become America’s Next Top Media Scare Figure?

X Factor: Is Cheryl Cole’s Judgement Of Tom Richards The Most Stupid Comment Ever?
THE X Factor calls 16-year-old Tom Richards, whose vocals give Cheryl Cole cause to come up with one of the best X Factor lines of all time. The English language needs a new word to describe the judges’ comments, something that moves on from contrived, routine or hype.
While we think one up, Tom sings The Scripts’ Man Who Can’t Be Moved. The judges say he has good voice but needs to move about less.

Video: Bayern Munich Play Mehmet Scholl’s Invisible Football
BEWARE the invisible football. Former Bayern Munich (Bayern München) player Mehmet Scholl knows the legend.
The habit on German TV is for the pundit to stand on the pitch behind a cheap self-assembly desk.
It’s like an advertorial for Ikea. Look out for next week’s show in which Scholl and his co-presenters will be sat beneath a six-seater dining table…
