Thetford Unveils Statue To Mainwaring’s Dad’s Army
TO Thetford town centre, Norfolk, where David Croft unveiled a statue in honour of the TV comedy series Dad’s Army. The effigy is of Captain Mainwaring, played by actor Arthur Lowe. Bill Pertwee arrived to sit beside the bronze. In a blackout you grab at any company you can get.
Incidentally, the series was filmed in Thetford. And, interestingly, Thetford has never invaded by the Germans. And it won’t be – not since they built the bypass to Norwich…

The One Show: Adrian Chiles Gags, Lenny Henry Kills And Cilla Black Noshes George Harrison’s Avocado
ADRIAN Chiles is the moribund, miserable face of the ITV World Cup output. But he used to be on The One Show – as ghastly as it sounds –with Christine Bleakley listening to Cilla Black saying “George Harrison introduced me to Avocado” and Lenny Henry killing more than just jokes – people, people: he killed people.
We are, of course, only joking. Our pal Casetteboy has pulled together a compilation video of Chiles’s The One Show best bits. He should use it as his showreel. The video makes Chiles look interesting, edgy and funny. TV can lie. And it can lie very well…

The Oddest IMDB Biographies
THE Internet Movie Database (IMDB) is a great resource for movie matters. The facts keep coming. Who was in what. What they did. What the PR told them to write. And so on. The site has a few memorable bios in the talent’s profile pages. Here are some choice parts they played – look out for the woman who has a little accident, the old woman who doesn’t have sex and the “lesbian in a restaurant”…

Big Brother Look-Alikes: Nathan, Bert, Dave And Marc Chapman
BIG Brother is 13 weeks of Davina McCall shouting at an empty room as even Channel 4 realises that the only thing to do with people keen to appear on the dead show is to take the piss out of them – which is why 81 fools arrived to stand in line while 14 of their number made the cruellest cut. OK– not 81 fools. Steve Gill had his legs blown off in Northern Ireland where he was a serving soldier. Steve Gill wins the show. But before you look away, here are a few look-alikes…

Piers Morgan Replaces Larry King At CNN: Thank Robert Green
PIERS Morgan is replacing Larry King as the face of CNN chat. The four-year-deal is said to be worth $5,5milion. And you can thank Robert Green.
So. Piers Morgan leaves for the US. Another Simon Cowell judge, Cheryl Cole is reported to be heading over there. And in exchange all we need do is instruct Robert Green to let America win the World Cup game with England 1-1.
We win!

Snapping Turtle Meets Reporter’s Nose: Video
INTRODUCING CBS 2’s Tony Aiello who joins When Animals Attack: Pictures Of Animals Going For People. Aiello is holding a female snapping turtle. So. how doe sit feel to be snapping turtle?
The answer is swift:
“I’d like to think I have a ‘nose for news. I’m glad my nose survived in one piece.”
Adding:
“I knew the creature walked slow, but snapped quick. I sure found out just how quick. No wonder snapping turtles have been around for more than 50 million years. They know how to fend for themselves.”
But they need an agent. Next weeek, an intrepid reporter investigates how man-eating tigers got their name:

TO New Zealand, where two local criminal masterminds are using a rock to attempt a break in at Empire Skate, in Herd Street, Chaffers Marina.
Says Detective Sergeant Mark Scott:
“We can see from the CCTV images, one of the offenders is seen throwing a rock at the window which then comes down and hits him on the head, at which point they flee the scene.”

Spelbound Break Britain’s Got Talent Records: Pictures
SPELBOUND wins Britain’s Got Talent and 13 members of the acrobatic gymnastics dance outfit split the £100,000 top prize. We caught up with Douglas Fordyce and the rest of Spelbound at a press conference at Sony headquarters in London. Yeah, Sony, wher Simon cOwell works. And Spelbound are now his. Says he:
“I’m very proud of you.”
While Cowell is relieved that all the hard hours in the gym have been worth it, we’ve got more facts.
* Britain’s Got Talent ended with a peak audience of 14.1 million last night, plunging from last year’s figure of 19.2 million.
* The event also attracted a huge television audience, with initial estimates suggesting almost 20 million people tuned in to see the ten acts battle it out for the title. If the figures are confirmed, it would mean the final was ITV1’s most popular show for almost five years.

Spelbound Wins Britain’s Got Talent 2010: Pictures, Videos And Live Blog
SPELBOUND Wins Britain’s Got Talent. The little orange action figure with the six pack who flew over Amanda Holden’s head says he’d like to thank Amanda for… Come on, who thought he was going to thank Amanda for the make-up?
Amanda says Spelbound should open the London Olympics in 2012. We like it. Who needs hundreds of drummers, tens of minutes of fireworks and athletes waving at their mums and videotaping the crowd – a quick 90 seconds of tumbling extravagance, a huge pot of Touche Eclat and job done. Cheap as chips.
They are terrific.
Simon Cowell: On live TV that was one of the most astonishing things I have ever seen!
The others:
Janey Cutler: Edith Piaf is better off out of it. Likeable woman. Loadsa pluck. Amanda says Janey wanted her autograph. She didn’t tell us if she gave it to her.

Drinking Problem Video of The Day: The Delano’s Russian
DRINKING Problem Video of The Day is presented by the Russian woman in the Delano’s grocery store on 27th & Geary in San Francisco.
The man behind the camera tells us:
I shot this after she had been going at it for a while and she’s starting to slow down. She was throwing bottles at other customers before. I know she’s Russian because that was the language she was yelling at the poor store clerk and the security guard who tried to stop her. Six cops ended up coming, and the first one pulled his gun the second he turned the corner and yelled out “Raise your arms or I’ll put a bullet in your fucking head!” While this was going on, I bought some mac & cheese from a panicking cashier.
Smash and gab:

Miley Cyrus Hates Shallow Pop, Appears On Britain’s Got Talent (Lesbian Kiss Pictures)
MILEY Cyrus was on Britain’s Got Talent. Miley was singing her song called Can’t Be Tamed.
That’s her pretending to kiss a female dancer.
That’s her dressed in fishnets and basque.
That’s her in the choreographed dance routine giving full throat to:
For those who don’t know me, I can get a bit crazy
Have to get my way, yep
24 hours a day
‘Cuz I’m hot like that
Every guy, everywhere just gives me mad attention
Like I’m under inspection,
I always get a ten
‘Cuz I’m built like that
Here’s the virginal Miley telling Billboard magazine:
“With anything-the clothes I wear or the way I want to look-I don’t plan it. Even with the video [for “Can’t Be Tamed”] I had the treatment, but beyond that, it was whatever comes. We didn’t have all the choreography set in stone because I didn’t want it to end up looking fake and polished. Everything in life has to come naturally or I feel like it’s just been done.”
