Susan Boyle On Oprah: Loving Her 13 Remaining Seconds Of Fame
This is the big time for Susan Boyle. She's appeared on Oprah Winfrey. Do you know how famous this makes her? Susan Boyle is now as famous as that other memorable Oprah guest - the bloke who barbecued some stuff for a couple a minutes a while ago. We forget his name. But anyway, the main thing was that Susan Boyle told Oprah Winfrey how much she enjoys her new-found fame. Incidentally, Susan Boyle's interview was subtitled. Not because Oprah's viewers wouldn't understand her impenetrable accent, you understand, but because producers wanted to distract everyone from her bizarre werewolfy face.

The Entire Universe Quite Likes Susan Boyle
Remember the name Susan Boyle - in ten years she'll probably be the answer to a pub quiz question or something. Or a major Broadway star. No, we were right first time - Susan Boyle will be the answer in a pub quiz. And the question will be 'what was the name of the funny-looking woman from Britain's Got Talent who made everyone jizz in their pants because she sang a terrible song in a mediocre way?' That's right, everyone. Thanks to Britain's Got Talent, Susan Boyle has won Demi Moore over and might appear on Oprah. Literally on Oprah. The pervert.

Oprah Mag Puzzlingly Acknowledges Someone Other Than Oprah
Oprah Winfrey is big. We’re not talking physically big here. That’s a given. We’re talking about an ego so freakin’ enormous that it operates like a gargantuan black hole, physically and spiritually swallowing up everything in sight - man, woman, child, baby back ribs, U.S. First Ladies - you name it. Well, just when we thought that we understood the awesome light and matter-consuming force that is Oprah, she goes and does something completely uncharacteristic of someone whose personal fortune was not built on prattling on and on about Oprah. Turns out, Oprah has ushered in a brave new world where people other than Oprah are seen on the cover of Oprah’s magazine, O (for Oprah).

Jennifer Aniston On Brad Pitt: Dear God, There’s More
Jennifer Aniston might have insulted Angelina Jolie in public this week, but that doesn't mean she's not a good person. Because she is. Jennifer Aniston's 'uncool' comment about Angelina Jolie just came from the anger of having her husband stolen away by another woman. And, despite that, Jennifer Aniston still has nothing but nice words to say about Brad Pitt. On Oprah. Just before a new film of hers opens. That woman's a saint. Jennifer Aniston told Oprah that she thinks Brad Pitt is 'great'. She harbours no bad feelings towards him, even though they both have movies coming out on the same day. And, in the spirit of good sportsmanship, Jennifer Aniston even refused to say whose film she thought was better - Brad Pitt's elegant adaptation of a classic F Scott Fitzgerald text, or her own movie about a naughty dog who eats a man's cake and is funny.

New Will.I.Am Song Makes Everyone Slightly Regret Voting Obama
Listen, we know a lot of you voted for Barack Obama because you thought it'd stop Will.I.Am from writing crappy songs about him. But, look, it hasn't worked. Even though Will.I.Am's awful habit of roping in celebrities like Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson to perform sappy Hallmark-style songs like Yes We Can and Omigod Obama Just Touched Me (I'm Never Washing My Hand Again LOL!!!1!!) probably put Barack Obama's chances of becoming president in greater jeopardy than any of that William Ayers stuff, he's at it again. Today Will.I.Am debuted his new Obama victory song It's A New Day on Oprah. It might seem incredibly prescient of Will.I.Am to have written and recorded such a song as timely as It's A New Day so soon after Barack Obama's historic election win, but it's really not - he also had another song lined up in case John McCain won. But sadly I Hate You, Stupid Old Man (And Jessica Alba Agrees) will now never see the light of day. Video after the jump...

David Blaine: Look How Long I Can Hold My Breath For!
Ever get the feeling that David Blaine was the kind of kid who got picked for football last at school? We only mention this because the poor lad seems compelled to try and impress us all the time with a range of increasingly attention-seeking adventures. Yes, OK David, you can stand on top of a pole for a few hours at time - what do you want, a medal? And just like a door to door salesman, David Blaine’s been back again with another spectacular stunt - this time involving gallons of water, Oprah Winfrey and a silver wetsuit.

Leona Lewis Does Quite Well In America
Top that, crying bad-haired Scottish boy whose name we can't even remember - Leona Lewis, who won X Factor before you is number one in America.
Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis is number one in the American singles chart, proving that not even global superpowers are immune to personality-free girls doing generally passable Whitney Houston impressions.
It's worth pointing out, though, that Leona Lewis is the first British female to get a US number one single since Kim Wilde in 1987. And if Leona Lewis keeps her head down and work hard, maybe she'll reach the same dizzying heights. That's right, the TV gardener/ health food commercial actor/ novelty Christmas single with the fat one from Smith & Jones combo is now well and truly within her grasp.
