This week’s uppers and downers. Folded: Clothes on Film (cool site about clothes in movies. Goodness the editor is handsome) Edge of Darkness (Gibbo's back like it’s 1995) David Lean in Close-Up with Jonathan Ross (BBC4, the only reason we pay a ...
Ever since Plain Jane the Superbrain took off her glasses, smeared some slutty red lipstick around her mouth, and rubbed ice cubes on her stupid nipples, the celebrity makeover has been a must for anyone hoping to increase their fame. For those unaware, the whole Plain Jane thing happened in the Australian drama serial, Neighbours. She went from geek to whore in a matter of moments. It was astonishing. Completely astonishing. And it got us to thinking about what the greatest celebrity makeovers of all time might be. We narrowed it down to this small bunch.
It must be excellent being part of a successful young pop group. You get to travel the world, stopping occasionally to jump around on stage, then, in the evening, you can wile away the hours brainlessly passing groupies around, necking gin. You don't have to think for yourself, which makes certain popstar decisions near impossible to understand. Below are four maniacs who decided to brave the world on their own, only to realise that they'd probably just made a massive mistake...
That’s about it. There’s nothing that we can add to this story apart from involuntary shuddering. Team hecklerspray likes to bond over a game of croquet and snifter of port, but not Take That. Take That like group wanking sessions. Or at least they did. Honestly. Because Take That’s fans were all twelve when they split up, it probably wasn’t best letting that sort of sordid information cripple their ears. But we're all grown up now so, yes, Take That did all used to masturbate furiously together. Happy now?
From Dietpixie - Robbie Williams - remember him? Yep, that bloke who once used to be in Take That, who left and became really successful, but then faded away again and now we never hear from him? Well, the very same Robbie has been papped at his LA home, lounging by the pool with his ...
With the exception of the time when one of them was shot on the eyes with a paintball gun and went blind, Ant and Dec have never been in so much trouble. Between ripping off viewers with rigged text-in competitions and now the news that a British Comedy Award they won was also rigged, the cheeky Geordie bobbleheads are now neck-deep in shit. Which, since it's Ant and Dec, is about three inches of shit. Now Ant and Dec, who appear to be oblivious to all these vote-fixing shenanigans, have said they are 'appalled' by the scandal. Hopefully not appalled enough to quit television forever, though, because that just leaves film and music for them to return to and, lord, haven't we suffered enough already?
After constantly denying any interest in rejoining his nemeses in Take That, it looks like Robbie Williams now may return to the group.
Robbie's biggest fan is his mum, and she spoke to the illustrious Stoke Sentinel about Robbie's Take That return. She's probably a more reliable source of information than Robbie Williams, too, because we've always got the feeling he'd say he went down on a horse if it gave him an ounce of extra publicity.
We've known for some time that 'sorry' isn't the hardest thing for Robbie Williams to say - because that would be "Cream cakes? No thanks, I'm full."
And just to prove how quick to apologise he is, Robbie Williams has just said sorry to former Take That manager Nigel Martin Smith because he claimed in a song that Smith was a thief who stole funds from Take That's earnings when actually he wasn't. And it was one of the most heartfelt apologies we've ever heard, with a lawyer making a forced, court-ruled apology on behalf of Robbie Williams in his absence to a lawyer accepting the apology on behalf of Nigel Martin Smith in his absence in a courtroom. However, it's not all good news - if Robbie Williams is back in the news, does that mean he's famous again?
