hecklerspray and Betfair.com continue to bring you the lowdown on the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest entrants. For the latest Eurovision odds click here. Otherwise, read on...

While the contest is usually a time for celebration, it also has a dark side. Never forget that Eurovision used Riverdance as an interlude one year, and is therefore directly responsible for Michael Flatley. And all the suffering he's caused us. But betting on Eurovision made the pain go away, and now we must look at the odds for two more countries... Denmark and Estonia.

Today we're looking at two countries - Denmark and Estonia which, when combined, are a disturbing anagram of  'A naked torn semi'. When we've uncrossed our legs, we'll continue...

JENNY McCARTHY SAYS NO TO (MORE) BOTOX

Better than saying no to drugs, Jenny McCarthy (DVDs), sexy model and Hollywood plaything, has said no to toxins.

After Botox injections paralysed all her facial muscles directly before a photoshoot, she decided it might not be best to let vanity rule her every waking move. "I'm a girl, I'm insecure. I never took myself as the prissiest, prettiest woman alive. I got my own problems." At least she’s keeping chipper about the whole thing.

DAVID WALLIAMS IS DATING BILLY PIPER

Or he might not be.

We silly scribes at hecklerspray always thought Little Britain's David Walliams (DVDs) was gay, but then somebody told us he’s a ‘fauxmosexual’ instead. We think that means he gets to dress nice and have sex with women. Maybe even women like walking hairdo Billy Piper (DVDS/CDs)..?

The rumour mill grinds away like Kate Ford’s teeth.

Former Orange Juice singer Edwyn Collins has suffered a setback after being infected by MRSA in hospital, as he recovered from critical brain surgery.

The superbug infected a scar and has led to Collins being fed a diet of 'powerful antibiotics'. It is thought that he contracted the MRSA virus several weeks ago.

The 45-year old Scottish singer, possibly best known for his 1995 hit 'A Girl Like You', has been staying

Jennifer Lopez And The Anti-Fur Protests

You may have noticed, but Jennifer Lopez (CDs) is a favourite target of ours. And there are so many reasons why this is the case. Her constant name changes, her bad songs. the fact that her constant singing about just being a normal girl clash with her dangerously unstable ego.

Now she's angered PETA, the animal rights group, by featuring fur extensively in her Sweetface clothing collection.

Paula Abdul’s ‘Fallen Idol’ Scandal Fallout

The Paula Abdul (CDs) American Idol scandal rumbles on, following the broadcast of Fallen Idol, the supposedly shocking sex and drugs documentary about the show.

The biggest claim the TV show made is that Paula Abdul had a sordid affair two years ago with a young contestant. Corey Clark - branded a "liar" and an "opportunist" by Abdul - has published a book on the relationship. And if that wasn't enough, there's also an album, which will contain a track called Paula-tics. It's a pun on the word 'Politics', not a song about Abdul's facial spasms.

However, the first single from the album is called Wiggle & Shake. So maybe it is an entire concept album about involuntary muscle twitches.
