Insane Cable Channel Erects ‘Bewitched’ Statue in Salem

Here's an invitation to join hecklerspray as we look at two different takes on a similar subject. Open your textbooks at the page marked 'witchcraft.'

Firstly, we have the popular 1960s TV sitcom Bewitched (DVD), a long-running ratings hit that's soon to be updated into a blockbuster movie starring pretty lady Nicole Kidman (DVDs) and professional mirthmaker Will Ferrell (DVDs).

Secondly, we have the the infamous Salem witch trials. Immortalised in Arthur Miller's The Crucible (DVD), this was the wave of public hysteria in 1692 that led to the public hanging of no less than 19 people.

One's a chilling emission from the bowels of history, the other's a cheesy slice of laughtracked overacting. Probably not a good idea to combine the two, right?

The Farm Odds – Bet On Your Favourite Piggy Fiddler

As reported here yesterday, The Farm has hit Channel Five running, as basically the weirdest reality TV show in the world.

Yes, the RSPCA says it's cruel; yes, someone's going to probably wank off a pig before it's finished, but the big question is - who's going to win?

hecklerspray and our friends at Betfair.com have teamed up yet again to help guide you through the contenders and give you their current odds. Enjoy...

Radio 2 Is The Best Radio Station

Radio 2 Is The Best Radio Station

Listening to Radio 2 is a lot like playing Russian Roulette; as good as it is, you know - you just know - that sooner or later Katie Melua (CDs) is going to crop up and bland her way through some turgid cock of a song. And it spoils your day so much that not even playing Lego Star Wars (Games) can cheer you up.

And yet Radio 2 was still named UK Station Of The Year at the Sony Radio Awards. The judges must have chosen them using the same techniques as everyone did in the election - don't vote for the best, vote for the least rubbish.

Billy Elliot Wants Margaret Thatcher To Die

People loved Billy Elliot (DVDs). When Elton John (CDs) saw it for the first time in Cannes, he cried so much he apparently had to be carried out of the cinema on a stretcher. Even though it was more or less Flashdance (DVDs) with dirty-faced boys instead of sexy ladies. And Jam (CDs) songs instead of awful eighties

Buy Carmen Electra!

Calling all hideously arrogant wealthy American young men aged between 15-20! Do you want to go on a date with Carmen Electra (DVDs)? You know, the woman with the big boobies who's in the magazines your big brother hides under his mattress.

Ebay are currently auctioning a date with the married model turned minor filmstar, with all proceeds going to the

Val Kilmer To Collaborate With Damon Albarn

Val Kilmer To Collaborate With Damon Albarn

Honestly. Seriously. No need to frown or rub your eyes. No-one's spiked your coffee. You read that headline right, we promise.

Kilmer (DVDs) allegedly called up Albarn (CDs) and told him: "I feel I've got an album in me based on my life, and you're the only man on this planet who can make it happen for me".

Quite what life-story observations are to be made by Kilmer - whom,

according to those he has worked with, is really little more than an
ego with a digestive system - remains a mystery as of yet.

Britney Spears Sells Urine For Charity

God bless you, Britters (CDs /DVDs). Without you, hecklerspray wouldn't be half the site it is today. Along with testosterone-fuelled Bear-man Russell Crowe (DVDs), your constant antics have kept the wheels of our chucklesome celebrity wagon rolling along.

And now? Now people are shelling out hard cash to purchase your piss ...

Wayne Rooney Is No Role-Model

Wayne Rooney Is No Role-Model

There's so much bad behaviour everywhere you look these days. Riding high in the box office is xXx2, not so much a film as one long angry explosion.

On TV this week is the final of The Apprentice, a show where every episode is opened by a man with a crap beard saying "bullshitters" and "arselickers". Would Tony Hart say
