  • Simon knows what he’s doing with Honey G!

    Apparently, Simon Cowell knows what’s he’s doing with Honey G in this year’s X Factor!

    Speaking in an exclusive interview with THEGAYUK.com former X Factor star Danyl Johnson spoke about how Honey G is just part of the fabric of X Factor and how acts like hers are all part of the excitement of the show.

    Honey G is probably one of the most controversial stars of recent years and her name regularly trends worldwide since she started to appear on the live shows and not everyone is happy about her inclusion in the show.

    Danyl told us,

    “The thing is, everyone gets really uptight about these, the enjoyable acts, but they’ve always been in the thread of X Factor. They have always been there. From Chico to Jedward, to Wagner to Honey G right now.

    “They’ve always been there. The X Factor is not just about singing, it’s about having something that people are talking about. Undeniably, every single person is talking about Honey G.

    Danyl who appeared in the 2009 series of the show and came fourth, knows how the juggernaut of the show works. He remarked,

    “Simon understands what she is.”

  • People are noticing Simon Cowell’s gay jibes at Louis Walsh

    People are noticing Simon Cowell’s gay jibes at Louis Walsh

    It seems as though “casual homophobia” is the new thing for Saturday night TV. Last night Peter Kay, whilst on the BBC, was blasted on social media for a joke some decided was homophobic and over on ITV Simon Cowell, once again, made a comment alluding to Louis Walsh‘s sexuality and viewers are starting to notice the frequency at which it happens.

    In Saturday’s (19th Nov) broadcast of the X Factor, Simon Cowell questions why Louis might like Matt Terry over Ryan Lawrie, after the 64-year-old judge told Ryan that Matt was better than him. Simon’s response, it seems, was done in such a way that many people took to Twitter to call him out on his “gay jibes”.

    A couple of weeks ago another comment by Simon prompted huge speculation over Louis’s sexuality. During the critique of Matt Terry’s performance of “I’m Your Man”, which Louis thought was “a bit karaoke”, Simon aimed his critique at Louis saying, “This is the first time Louis has said I don’t like I’m Your Man.”

    This isn’t the first time Simon has made jokes with someone’s sexuality as the butt of the joke (pun intended). During a live Xtra Factor broadcast, Simon asked Rylan Clark-Neal whether he liked the backdoor.

  • Wait… were Rylan and Matt simulating oral on the Xtra factor?

    Wait… were Rylan and Matt simulating oral on the Xtra factor?

    We have to admit, this one passed us by, as we had stayed on ITV1 to watch the first episode of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here… but what exactly were Rylan and Matt doing on the Xtra Factor?

    The Mannequin challenge is the craze that’s sweeping the nation – and much better than the ChristmasTreeChallenge, which George Shelley released launched over the weekend. Well, stars and crew of ITV’s Xtra Factor took part in their very own Mannequin Challenge and it was rather brilliant – despite Olly Murs blinking half way through!

    Our only question is what exactly were Rylan Clark-Neal and Matt Edmonson up to?

    As the camera pans round it settles on Rylan and Matt in a rather compromising position, with Matt’s crotch in the face of Rylan. As the action begins, Matt is heard saying,  “It’s just sort of flared-up a bit.”

  • Joel Dommett’s public support for winning is unprecedented

    Relative newbie, Joel Dommett has certainly made an impression on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, especially after he stripped off to reveal, well a rather dishy bod!

    Although he’s relatively unknown, standup comedian and actor Joel Dommett has certainly captured the public’s interest / or lust after revealing his finely toned body in last night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

    According to Betway Joel’s odds of winning have shortened from 14/1 to 7/2.

    A spokesperson for the Bookie said,

    “There’s been a massive market move for Joel Dommett after Sunday night’s opening episode. The Skins star’s odds plummeted from 14/1 into 7/2 straight after he revealed his torso in the Jungle’s shower.

    “The shortening of Dommett’s odds is the most drastic I can remember in I’m A Celebrity history!

    “Scarlett Moffatt looks a shaky favourite now. We’ve pushed her out from 7/4 to 5/2 and that price could slip further if she fails to grab the public’s attention.”

    So what did people get into a lather about?

    Well, check out this:

     

    Meanwhile, thousands of people flooded THEGAYUK.com last night in an attempt to find out whether Joel is gay or bisexual after he flirted with soap star Adam Thomas.

  • People think that an Apprentice made a “racist” comment in the last episode

    Social media users have blasted Apprentice hopeful Dillion St. Paul after making a comment about fellow contestant Karthik Nagesan’s business style.

    BBC

    In Thursday’s episode of The Apprentice, some viewers were apparently shocked by a comment made by Irish hopeful Dillon St. Paul. During the challenge, fellow contestant Karthik Nagesan had taken his time over a business deal to obtain a Lehenga at the lowest price. Karthik said that he would take charge in the negotiations because it was his “culture”.

     

    However Dillon was less than impressed with Karthik’s style and in a to-camera interview said,

    “Karthik’s negotiation technique is basically Indian chit chat. There was a lot of time wasted at the start. He should have just asked ‘Where is your lehenga? Can I see it?”

    Some viewers took to social media to vent their disgust.

    According to Yahoo.com

    One wrote: “Indian chit chat”..? This guy is something else #TheApprentice.“

     

    Another commented: “Oh yay. It’s the episode where they bait them into being horrendously racist #TheApprentice”

    Another wrote: “Indian chit-chat…are you actually allowed to say that? #TheApprentice.”

    However, some did back Dillon’s statement, with one woman, Seetal revealing that “Indians take FOREVER to secure a good deal”.

    While another commented that it was all about building a rapport

    https://twitter.com/naayacaliyo/status/796831508191387648

     

    Of course, Dillon didn’t “set  out to say something derogatory” and apologised if the comment caused offence.

    He said,

    “I would never intentionally set out to say something derogatory. I apologise if my comment caused offence, it was not intended in that manner.”

    “She’s a c*nt!, She’s so nice on camera, but I felt she had no time for me once they were off.”

    He then questioned whether the judge actually chose the final 3 in her category, saying,”I don’t even think she picked her final three boys!”

    That’s you off the Christmas card list then poppet.

    The producers of Celebrity Big Brother and its broadcaster, Channel 5, have been clear of wrongdoing after broadcasting offensive comments made by the entertainer Christopher Biggins.

    The entertainer caused uproar after he made a number of claims and comments about bisexuals in the 2016 summer edition of Celebrity Big Brother.

    He was removed from the house after a number of official warnings by the show’s execs.

    Ofcom receieved 44 complaints but said that the coments were “within the audience’s expectations”.

    A spokesperson for Ofcom said,

    “We investigated whether a discussion between Christopher Biggins and Renee Graziano about the sexual orientation of bisexual people was offensive

    “We accepted that these remarks made in Celebrity Big Brother were capable of causing offence, but they were likely to be within the audience’s expectations of this programme.”

  • Can Twitter Predict 2014’s X Factor Winner?

    The last couple of years we’ve put together a science based (not really) system that will almost accurately predict the winner of X Factor, it’s called TWATS (Twitter Winning And Theoretical Service)

    Based on the fanbases of the contestants (their twitter following) we have almost accurately predict the top 4 of each of the series.

    In 2012, we predicted that Union J, Lucy Spraggan, Ella Henderson and James McArthur would be victorious – that instance, James McArthur won and Ella Henderson came 6th Union J came 4th. Lucy Spraggan left the competition due to sickness.

    In 2013 the top 4 in the TWATS were Sam Callahan, Nicholas McDonald, Kingsland Road and Tamera Foster. In the end Sam Bailey came first Nicholas McDonald came second, Luke Friend and Rough Copy came 4th. Tamera came 5th and Sam came 7th.

    So judging on this year’s numbers:

     

    Jack Walton 148K

    Stereo Kicks 148K

    Andrea Faustini 147K

    Lauren Platt 132K

    Paul Akister 105K

    Ben Haenow 122K

    Jay James 101K

    Fleur East 68.6K

    Lola Saunders 62.7K

    Stevi Ritchie 43.7K

    So what do you think?

     

    X Factor continues tonight at 8:00PM on ITV 1

     

  • Simon Cowell asks Rylan if he likes the BACKDOOR

    Simon Cowell asks Rylan if he likes the BACKDOOR

    It was one of those totally awkward TV moments. Yes, that moment when one  straight man makes a joke about the “backdoor” with a gay man.

    Major AWKS.
    During a segment where judges had to pick a front door from the ones presented on the screen in front of them, Rylan quipped, “I love a front door” to which Simon responded, “I thought you liked back doors?”

    The other judges looked shocked and Nicole started to wave her hands in Simon’s face.

    Rylan retorted by sashaying over to Simon, sitting on the side of Simon’s desk saying,

    “Oh, Simon! Would you like me to show you how much?”

    Simon was left red-faced after realising that his joke was in poor taste and after Rylan suggested that he show the judge how much he liked the “backdoor”.

    Instantly Simon knew he had taken the joke too far and apologised immediately.

    The head judge said, ”I apologise. I shouldn’t have said that – sorry, sorry, sorry.”

    This year’s X Factor has been dogged with homophobic responses from its at-home audience. When Louis Walsh chose Bratavio for his category, his sexuality was called into question by fans of the show and both Bradley Hunt and Ottavio Columbro, Bratavio’s members, were both homophobically abused and even sent death threats over social media.

  • Bruno’s flirting continues with Greg’s BUTT OF MARBLE

    Bruno’s flirting continues with Greg’s BUTT OF MARBLE

    Greg Rutherford’s bum was once again up for debate in last night’s episode of Strictly as judge Bruno Tonioli said he couldn’t take his eyes off it.

    Greg Rutherford Bum
    (C) BBC – Photographer: Guy Levy

    Greg Rutherford‘s bum has become a national talking point and it all started last week when his bottom became the subject of a both criticism and praise for being so muscly.

    The show’s host, Tess Daly, even joked that the women next to her were saying “nice bum” whilst Greg was whirling around the dance floor with his partner Natalie Lowe.

    After last week’s discussion about Greg’s toosh, the theme continued when Judge Len Goodman took the opportunity to tell the Olympian that his “bum was going to town”.

    But it was the openly gay judge Bruno who ramped up the flirting, shouting,

    “Keep going tiger… oooh Hurricane Greg.

    “ooh, you are an animal with a butt of marble.”

    With his eyes rolled to the ceiling, Bruno revealed he simply couldn’t take his eyes off Greg’s perky assets. “I don’t know why!” he quipped.

    The flirting all started when Greg rather coyly gave Bruno his candy floss.

    Which clearly made the judge’s day.
