Steve McClaren Adopts a Flawless Dutch Accent
Football: technically a funny old game. Made more so with ex-England football team manager Steve McClaren, in his new role at Dutch side FC Twente. The man with a head that is home to a hair island and a face that wears a frighteningly creepy smile at all times has been spotted in the wild at his new job in the Netherlands, attempting to talk to the press. Now, far be it from us to mock the man, but, well - we had enough ammo to go on before this, and now he's just gone and set us up for life. He'll never have to behave like a twit again, he'll never have to do an awful job as England manager then blame it on everyone/thing else and he'll never have to talk utter, utter tripe ever again. Because this clip says everything about Steve McClaren you would ever want it to. The man is clearly deranged - there cannot be any other explanation for his decision to adopt such a stunning 'Dutch' accent. He actually sounds like your dad on holiday, trying to talk to a waiter who can only manage broken English.

Usher Re-Hires His Mum, Which is an Odd Thing to Have to Say
Usher really must have thought he had it all going for him. He had a multi multi multi million selling album, a wife (eventually, a few times), a child with his name and some hats. Things were looking rosy for the dancing pop prat. Then he brought out a new album, 'Here I Stand', and - compared to his last one, 'Confessions', at least - it flopped something rotten. While still selling just under a million copies to date, this is considered a failure by both Usher and, more likely, his record label. So what's the solution when you're known around the world, popular, good looking and - apparently - talented? Why - sack your management and go running to your mum. Obviously. Which is exactly what Raymond has gone and done, re-employing the mother he sacked just over a year ago as a part of his throwing his toys out of the pram reaction to not selling enough records. Aww, bless him.

Ray Charles’ Kids & Manager Literally Fight Over His Dead Body
Bitter, distasteful fights about a dead celebrity's possessions tend to take place while the dead celebrity is still warm. So we have nothing but respect for the family and former manager of Ray Charles, who managed to remain peaceful and amicable until he was long-dead, completely cold and probably quite rotten, and then they started having bitter, distasteful fights about his possessions. Ray Charles' 12 children have accused manager Joe Adams of tarnishing their father's memory by releasing two Ray Charles albums posthumously that Ray would have never approved. We're not so sure about that - Ray Charles Sings The Hits Of Emma Bunton and Ray Charles Mumbles To Himself About His Slippers have always been long-time favourites of ours.

Britney Spears’ Dad To Sack Everyone, Twice
Now that he's got the keys to the Britney Spears treasure chest, Jamie Spears can do whatever the hell he likes.
And, now he's also been granted the power to hire and fire as he pleases, it looks like Britney's business manager Howard Grossman is going to be the first neck on the chopping block.
We're not sure what Jamie Spears' other plans for Britney Spears are yet, but we've heard rumours that he'll soon be taking her place as a recording artist soon, too. In fact, an album of bubblegum pop entitled Hit Me One More Time (No Really, I Know I'm A Middle-Aged Man Dressed A Schoolgirl And I Know That Must Freak You Out, But What Say You Hit Me Anyway) is purportedly being mixed as we speak.
