ITV are getting very Internet-friendly with a new Twitter stream for Britain’s Got Talent fans.
If you’ve never heard of Twitter before, it’s a fairly new web service that allows people to share little snippets of their lives with friends and family. You can even update your Twitter page from your mobile phone.
Just my tuppence worth, but 2007 has to have been the absolute worst X Factor ever.
Approximately 3 billion people applied for this year’s show, but the talented ones were siphoned off before the judges auditions even began, in favour of mediocre acts who had better sad stories to tell.
Come on people, do you really believe that the final 12 represent the finest talent Britain has to offer? And is it a coincidence that they were all:
Forgetting about the other contestants, this year’s final three had to be the poorest bunch in four years of X Factor. You weren’t so much voting for the act you wanted to keep as for the act who irritated you the least.
Same Difference were fun, but a total joke. Rhydian was a fine singer, but his wild Welsh eyes, zany hair and painful theatrics became tiresome after a while. Remember, this is a talent competition to win a recording contract. Are either act credible recording artists? Really?
The final three contestants were Christopher Biggins, Janice Dickinson and Jay Brown.
For a moment, I thought ‘Sicknote’ Biggins would be exempt from winning on medical grounds - he certainly seemed to be when it came to the Bushtucker challenges!
All the same, Biggins took on the final Bushtucker challange with great gusto - eating a gruesome final meal consisting of cockroaches, kangaroo testicles and grubs.
8.7 million people tuned in to watch the first show of I’m A celebrity Get me Out Of Here 2007, last night.
About 9.5 million people tuned in for the first 15 minutes of the ITV reality TV show, but towards the end only 7 million were still watching.
The figure is slightly down from last year, when 8.9 million people watched the opening show.
This week, in Trinny and Susannah Undress The Nation, the girls tackle the problem of the nation’s forgotten shoppers – men. Trinny & Susannah launch a campaign to delve deep into the male psyche, unearth the root of the problem, and create a new nation of well dressed men.
Hundreds of civil engineers in London are stunned when Trinny and Susannah swoop in on their dress-down day. They round the men and coax them into their pod to reveal how and why they dress like they do and Trinny & Susannah are shocked at the results.
“You’re wearing a woman’s vest over a man’s t-shirt!” says a shocked Trinny.
“You’ve got amazing coloured eyes but you look like you’ve just crawled from under a stone,” adds Susannah. Read more & comment »
Trinny Woodall has traded in her 32A breasts for a 32D to match best friend and partner in solving style crime Susannah Constantine.
The usually happily flat-chested Trinny tried new boobs for size for their new TV series Trinny and Susannah Undress the Nation at 8pm on ITV1 tomorrow night, when they wage war on British women’s badly dressed breasts.
But rather than go under the knife she had them specially moulded from silicon and fitted by prosthetics experts as part of an experiment to see what it would be like to have bigger bosoms. Read more & comment »
ITV TV presenters, Trinny and Susannah, have always had a bee in their bonnet about ill fitting bras. But I think they have taken it a bit too far this time!
As part of a stunt for their new series, Undress The Nation, the pair encouraged crowds of women to avail of a free bra fitting and strip down to their bra for the cameras.
The pair even stripped down themselves! These are some ballsy chicks!
With two contestants already gone tensions are mounting in the house and the acts are working extra hard on their performances for Saturdays live show. The theme this week is ‘Big Bands’ and the special guests on the show are American R&B stars, Boyz II Men, who will be performing exclusively for the X Factor.

If the boffins at the Oxford English Dictionary were stuck for a definition for the word ‘sycophantic‘, they should have watched tonights X Factor.
First, we had to watch our favourite bunch of wannabes line up to kiss Celine Dion’s ass. Nothing against Celine, but it’s hard to watch a bunch of people who couldn’t care less about her saying how much they respect her. It’s blatant sucking up, and we’re not sucked in by it.

Remember Paul Burrell screaming like a girl? The moment Katie met Peter? When Carol Thatcher took a pee or Toby Anstis found he couldn’t do a poo? Or maybe Myleene’s infamous showering moments are most memorable?
These are just some of the 50 “greatest bits” from the six series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! which can be watched and rated at the brand new site www.itv.com/celebrity
The clips, which span six series of ITV1’s hit reality show, run from Tony Blackburn’s triumph in series one right up to Dean Gaffney’s cockroach shampoo from last year’s show.
Don’t believe everything we said in our previous post. Chris Moyles will not be stepping in to replace Sharon Osbourne on the X Factor. In fact, Chris may never have anything to do with the show again if his tirade on Radio 1 this morning was anything to go by!
As a long-time Moyles disciple, I know he’s a big fan of the X Factor. He even went as far as to take part in the celebrity version.
The six year old made famous in this years series of Britain’s Got Talent has been offered a six figure record deal.
Connie Talbot was first offered a record deal by Simon Cowell when the show finished. But the offer was retracted a few weeks later as the record company rightly decided that Connie was just too young.
However Rainbow Records have now signed Connie and her first album will be released on the 26th of November.
“We are so proud of her - we knew she could do it,” Connie’s mother Sharon told The People. “Connie’s over the moon and can’t wait till the album comes out.” Read more & comment »

The word is that Simon is heading to Manchester from November 20-24 and says: “As you saw last year there are no rules, you can be any age, with any talent.

Earlier this year 26 year-old Neil Fingleton from Durham officially became the tallest living person in the UK. He’s trying to make it big in tinseltown and features in ITV1 documentary Superhuman: Giants which is on next Tuesday 9th October at 9pm.
The video below shows how despite his massive frame, some people still feel brave (or stupid) enough to have a pop at him. Read more & comment »
