***Early next year, the X Factor contestants are going on tour! Check out the tour dates and buy tickets here***
There's only two weeks left of X Factor. And that means there's only two weeks of enjoyment left in X Factor - by the new year, we'll be pig sick of whoever wins the series.
But which of the X Factor managers is going to end up winning the series? Now each contestant is singing two songs, the managers haven't had the time to indulge in any of their trademarked choreographed guff inbetween songs - but that doesn't mean that the X Factor judges aren't thinking about harming each other all the time.
Here's this week's batch of X Factor winning manager betting odds, with help from Betfair.com...
Earlier in the year, hecklerspray expressed our amazement at the fact that warbling sausage-in-a-skirt Mariah Carey needed a personal assistant solely to "stop the bottom of her dress from touching the ground."
Surely, we said, that's just about the most ludicrous and downright stupid demand ever made by an over-privileged celebrity?
Well... not quite. Because we've just learnt of an overzealous 'superstar' who - during a record signing on Oxford Street yesterday - baffled her assembled fans by employing someone simply to hold a drink to her mouth.
The culprit?
Erm... Mariah Carey.
Eminem has gone soft. He swapped all his angry sweary rants for songs about how he loves his daughter - and if that wasn't enough, Eminem has just announced that he is back with ex-wife Kim.
Yes - Kim Mathers; the same Kim Mathers that Eminem once sang "sit down bitch. If you move again I'll beat the shit out of you," about. Eminem, eh? What a bloody romantic.
We have a feeling that 2006 might just be the year of Ladyfuzz. As far as Austrian female-fronted storming art-rock new-wave music goes, at least, Ladyfuzz is where it's going to be.
Monday saw the release of kazoo-tastic Monster, the latest single by Ladyfuzz. And if you've heard it and it hasn't made you bewilderingly excited about Kerfuffle, the debut Ladyfuzz album (out in February), then there's something wrong with your goddamn ears. Because Ladyfuzz - make no mistake - are brilliant.
We caught up with the wondrous Liz from Ladyfuzz for a chat about fruit, Rubik's cubes and gender divisions in the French justice system...
In the movies, Omar Sharif is mostly seen as a noble, dashing hero type. However, in reality, Omar Sharif is a little drunk man who goes round insulting and punching Mexican parking attendants.
That's what a Guatemalan parking attendant is claiming, at least. Juan Anderson is suing Omar Sharif after he claims Sharif called him a "stupid Mexican," and punched him in June. Omar Sharif denies the charges.
Remember that crappy VH1 movie a few years back where Lennon didn’t get assassinated, thus allowing the Beatles to reform again in the early eighties just in time for the whole leg warmer craze? Well it would seem the idea wasn’t as preposterous as it sounded.
But just what the devil does this all mean? Read on gentle reader, read on…
Christina Applegate and her husband Johnathon Schaech have decided that they want to join in with the most infectious fad of 2005 - the celebrity break-up.
Christina Applegate and Johnathon Schaech have announced that they are to divorce after four long years of marriage. No real reason has been given, though we'd expect that Christina Applegate probably got sick of the weird way that her husband spells his name.
The Facially Scarred Artist know as Seal has recently been voted Hollywood’s Best New Dad in a recent Parents Magazine. His competition included the likes of Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, Kevin Federline, and probably not Darth Vader.
Vader may have briefly held first place after doing that Jedi hand thing, but it ended up not working because the top editor is part Hutt. C’mon, you know what we’re talking about…
