TV - Beautiful People has returned for a second series of Jonathan Harvey's camptastic teen comedy based on the real life of Simon Doonan. In the present, adult Simon has returned home to Reading after living his fabulous life among the beautiful people of New York. So far we have only seen him reunited with his so middle-class aspiring mum (played shamelessly by Olivia Coleman). What's happened to the rest of his family? I want to know!
But in the bulk of the show it is now 1998 and that means...Eurovision in Birmingham! Ah, I remember it well because I was living there at the time. It was the most exciting thing to happen to the NIA since Gladiators. In a wonderful coup for BBC2 (that rhymes) they've managed to get 98's transexual winner Dana International to guest star. Totally worth it for the closing line of the episode: 'Ms International - we met in a toilet!' cries Simon as Dana runs off down Bond Street.
X-Factor news is that Jedward are out. I can't believe that story has actually made mainstream tv news, alongside war and suchlike. So that's all I shall say about it. Good and bad news for Dannii. She's been cleared of homophobia by OFCOM for her comments towards Danyl (did we ever doubt it?) but she's also the bookies favourite to be kicked off the show at the end of this series. It's thought one of the judges will be axed to avoid continuing 'deadlock' situations.

A fleeting return to Merlin news. After playing 'hide the sausage' with Arthur and pushing him into a queeny strop about his weight (watch the clip above to see what I mean) the young magic man attempted to get himself a girlfriend this week. It almost worked when they shared a kiss (yuck) luckily for us she turned out to be a werewolf cat thing and Arthur killed her. Back to coy homoerotic banter next week then boys?
I was defending his right to be as gay as he liked last week, now Alan Carr has said he wants to see more p***y on tv! Carr spoke to digitalspy about the future of the Sunday Night Project after he and Justin Lee Collins quit -
Who would you like to see take over in 2010?
Carr: "Miquita Oliver. Peaches Geldof. Someone like that. No, seriously, if it stays the same, with the amount of dressing up they made us do, to be honest anyone who will do it. With us, we used to turn up and someone would say, 'you're going to be a pasty' or 'Alan, dress up as Rula Lenska'. I can't see many people around these days who will be willing to dress up like a d**k."
Collins: "I would have thought they would have gone for unknowns - new faces. You can imagine Mat Horne and James Corden would be perfect for it. But they're not going to do it and they have enough to do. It would be nice to see a girl or girls to do. We've have a lot of beef. We've been quite c**k heavy."
Carr: "There's been a lot of c**k on the show. We could do with a little more p***y. I know personally that I would tune in if there was more p***y."
