The Dr Who Prom In Pictures
MATT Smith arrived at the Dr Who Prom. The BBC’s Royal Albert Hall show featured music from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and vocals from the National Philharmonic Choir. The score for each Dr Who is written by Murray Gold and recorded by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. At the prom you can hear the sounds live. And thanks to us you can see the pictures of the children’s telly show the youngsters used to watch from behind the sofa and who, now they’re all grown up, watch it on iPlayer on their laptops. Says one classical music fan dressed as a Cyborg: “It’s what Handel would have wanted…”

Big Brother Housemates Jo Butler, JJ Bird And Laura McAdams Almost Naked For Channel Five
BIG Brother is surely destined for Richard Desmond’s Channel Five, where it will feature the world’s last surviving Daily Express readers under 75 years of age pursing their lips and / or a bevy of naked strumpets dry humping the cameras – and after 12pm wet humping them for a small by-the-second fee.
While Big Brother is still on Channel 4, we get to see three new housemates vying for a full minute of game.
Here are Jo Butler, a 41-year-old make-up artist from Luton, a professional London-based boxer called JJ Bird, 23, from London, and Laura McAdams who lives in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Right now all three live in a televised holding bay in Elstree doing what needs to be done to be famous or at least have a few people who know them wonder where they’ve got to.

Jay Z And Alicia Keys’ New York Parodied In Warren And Wainwright’s Newport
ALEX Warren and Terema Wainwright’s parody of Jay Z and Alicia Keys’ Empire State of Mind celebrates Newport as the American lauded New York.
I’m straight out of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
“When you’re in Newport. Chips, cheese, curry makes you feel brand new, washed down with a Special Brew.”
The song’s producer is from… London.

Jedward’s Dublin Pictures And Emma Amelia Pearl Czikai’s BGT Lament
WE caught up with Jedward in Dublin. John And Edward Grimes – the stars that epitomise all that is right and proper with the X Factor and such talent shows -were at a CD signing. John and Edward are exactly what UK showbiz deserves and demands. On the same day, Britain’s Got Talent’s Emma Amelia Pearl Czikai was talking about suing the show’s judges.
Ms Czikai, from Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham, says he was not feleign well when she came to sing. She was buzzed off. She told us:
“I do have the ability to move people. People have cried when they have heard me sing.”
She calls the show “backdoor modern slavery“, guilty of “modern-day barbarism” and acts of “atrocity” against wannabe stars. The show’s layers say not so. And Jedward play on, setting out to prove that if you set people up for fall, you might gets squashed…

Jade Goody’s Ghost In Haunting Big Brother: Pictures
JADE Goody’s ghost “haunts” Big Brother. So says the Daily Star on its front page.
Jade Goody seems to haunt the Star, too. Deprived of its front-page stable, the Star pressed the panic button (f9) and led with daily news of Katie Price’s life.
There are schools of thought that argue that had Goody lived, Price would be still married to Peter Andre and the couple would be living under a rock in Australia waiting to be discovered by a researcher for 100 Greatest Televised Dry Humps. But Eton and Harrow debating societies are not of the real world. In the real world, Jade Goody is dead and haunting Big Brother.
The story goes like this:
BIG BROTHER is being haunted by Jade Goody and her ghost is to blame for a series of eerie mishaps in the BB house…
CREEP! The curry powder has gone missing…
SPOOK! There is a stain in the shape of Norwich on the sofa…
WAIL! No-one is watching the show!!!

Tiger Woods’ Shaft Protector Rachel Uchitel To Help Trump Pick His Apprentice?
TIGER Woods’ alleged Practice Hole No.1, Rachel Uchitel, has been invited to help tsunami-haired Donald Trump pick next season’s Celebrity Apprentice.
How did Rachel get the job? We might never know.
But Trump is building a big golf course in Scotland, so Rachel might make it over here to carry his bag. She might even get the urge to become a novelty sheath for Tiger’s shafts. Or else she might just streak.

Coronation Street Cull: Producers Apologise For Derrick Bird And Raoul Moat Plots
CORONATION Street is to maim and kill cast members in a tram crash that has no resemblance to the Derrick Bird nor Raoul Moat stories. It’s not easy to find ways of kill people that will have not reflect on the greater world and necessitate a health warning:
“If you have been affected by actors pretending to be hurt in a plastic and foam street, we urge you to seek urgent medical help and know that the sweet old lady Judy Jones is played by hard-nosed bitch of an actress who if you met and ever listened to one of the bitter gin-soaked rants you’d be glad was dead.”
Option one was to go for Norris Cole to turn into a jihadi. He’d start stocking up the sweetshop with copies of the Anarchist Cook Book and ordering lots of chapatti flour from Dev’s mini-mart.

Jedward: Home Alone – TV Show Allows Fans To Watch Paint Dry: Pictures
JEDWARD, Edward and John Grimes, have fallen on stage at the T4 On The Beach gig in Weston Super Mare. The X Factor’s Duracell Gonks were performing their St Vitus tribute dance to the tune Ghostbusters when tragedy struck.
Edward Grimes fell. His leg is hurt. The smart thing would be sever it and reattach it to John’s loins or Edward’s head and have them carthweel to Eye Of The Tiger. But how much talent can we handle?
Well, lots. Because John and Edward have scored a TV show called Jedward: Home Alone. Yeah, both of them. Alone. Together. With a TV crew.

X Factor Auditions In Pictures: Konnie Huq’s Rhyme And Reason At London Trials
THE X Factor is back. Well, almost. Before the procession of the hopeless, hapless and shaggable, new Xtra Factor host and rhyming slang illustrator Konnie Huq was speaking to people in the crowd at the X Factor auditions at the ExCel centre in London.
What did she say? Dunno. But we imagine it to be an incantation that reduces the contestants’ last remaining brain cells to a compliant mush that allows them to be ridiculed by a panel of smirking judges and not respond with ultra violence.
