X Factor Battle Of The Stars: I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing……

My son’s nursery school class was recording a cd today and one of the songs they had to learn was ‘I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing’.

So I was browsing YouTube this afternoon, letting him listen to different versions of the song that became famous from 1970′s Coke ads, and happened to come across this clip for X Factor Battle Of The Stars.

I had completley forgotten how terrible Gillian McKeith was, how much I detest Rebecca Loos and how funny the celebrity chefs were.

It makes me wonder why they had to cancel the show?

Dancing On Ice star, Suzanne Shaw has been named Celebrity Mum Of The Year.

Finally, someone has won this award who isn’t a loud trampy poor role model!

Suzanne accepted the award, and spoke out against many people’s attitudes to single parents.

She said: “It really does annoy me when people criticise single mums. I remember experiencing it when my mum divorced my dad and going to church and being told that divorce was wrong.

“My mum ran out in tears. I would rather my mum was happy than unhappy.

“I’m absolutely disgusted by it. I turn my back on people like that. We don’t become mothers because we don’t want to stay with our partners. I’m giving Corey a good a life as anybody.” Read more & comment »
