This week I have mostly been amused by:

Morrissey now being called the Pope of Mope.

Family Guy being eerily prophetic. In the dvd special where Stewie visits the future, Peter is watching Britney Spear's comeback concert. By this point Britney is hugely fat, in a wheelchair and has lost a foot to diabetes. She then starts trying to dance but the wheelchair tips over and she falls into the amps which then explode. Based on recent events it wouldn't surprise anyone if this actually ends up happening.
After she had shaved her head, I'd said it was almost as if Britney was trying to be Anna Nicole Smith now that she was dead. It turns out that it may not have been far from the truth after it was revealed that ANS had been trying to make friends with Britney when they were both pregnant recently. What a combination that would have been on a night out, it would be a competition to see who was the most insane. They could have traded downward spiral stories.

Craig Bellamy's goal celebration last night. After all the brouhaha with the golf club incident, Bellamy decided to celebrate scoring against Barcelona by, yes you've guessed it, swinging an imaginary golf club. Brilliant stuff, at least he has a sense of humour. Apparently you could get 100/1 at certain bookies on that happening. Wouldn't surprise me if Bellamy was a little bit richer this morning. He then set up John Arne Riise for the winner, couldn't have been better scripted.

Graham Norton looking very uncomfortable presenting the new saturday night BBC variety show. You can tell that he really doesn't want to be there, he looks seriously unimpressed at how his career has ended up. He has gone from pushing the boundaries of taste on channel 4 to being a sell out stooge for the beeb. Previously he would show women shooting ping pong balls out of certain orifices, now he is introducing 2 kids whose talent is being able to play drums and then trying and failing to get some interesting chat from them. This is followed up by an old guy who sings a song badly whilst bashing himself on the head with a tea tray. How these people even get on tv amazes me.
I bet if you are telepathic all you will be able to hear is Graham screaming to himself.
It's similar to the fall from grace of Peter Simon. Previously a fixture on saturday morning kids tv on the bbc. Now hawking tat on one of the shopping channels. If you ever get a chance to watch him you should, it's strangely compelling as you can tell the whole time he is trying to work out where it all went wrong.
