Television Review: Beat The Star
Beat the Star, not just Chris Brown's favourite pass-time, but also a ridiculous game-show from ITV. Think of it as half-celebrity Krypton Factor. Not necessarily the Z-list celebrities that usually show up on anything with a 'Celebrity' twist, but one contestant is a celebrity, and the other... less so. Tonight we meet a bloke called Glenn, who hasn't done anything of note in his pathetic life. He's up against England rugby legend (they have legends in rugby, apparently) Austin Healey, who, awesomely, shares his name with a car. It's like Mr. and Mrs. Focus calling their son Ford, or the Cooper family having a girl called Mini. What were they thinking?

Sharon Osbourne: ‘Screw You ITV! I Squawk For The BBC Now’
In an act of betrayal not matched since the Italians turned their backs on the Nazis in World War Two, or when Sol Campbell moved to Arsenal from Tottenham on a free transfer in the cold, dark summer of 2001, Sharon Osbourne, who recently parted company with long time friend ITV, is preparing to jump in bed with the BBC. Sharon recently quit ITV1’s X Factor because of something about money. She wasn’t getting her cut of the phone-in vote or something (just joking Sharon). Whatever, she left them, and it doesn’t look like she’s going back. But then again she’s no doubt said that to Ozzy a few dozen times over the years. And yet, no matter how big the betrayal, she still remains by his side. The poor fella - as if being a human vibrator wasn’t enough to live with without that over-opinionated ear-ache hanging about the place.

Fergie To Condescend The Poor In New Reality Show
Like many people, when we have genuinely serious problems our first thought is "Why isn't there a tubby out-of-touch ginger posho millionaire around to shriek patronising advice at us?"
Luckily, one poverty-stricken family in Hull will be getting that exact treatment. Minor royal and all-around annoyance Fergie is going to live with them to help shine a light on what life's like for the cruel minority who, for whatever reason, don't live in massive New York penthouse apartments.
Fergie's doing this for a new ITV reality show, of course, called The Duchess In Hull. It'll be broadcast in the summer, backed by an ITV2 spin-off show called Someone Get Me The Bleach, One Of Them Just Touched Me And I Don't Want To Catch AIDS.
