  • Katie Hopkins Will Step On Perez Like A Small Fly

    Ooooft, it’s all going on the Big Brother house and after an incident today, Katie Hopkins has made her feelings about Perez Hilton very, very clear.

    Perez Hilton will from now on feel the wrath from gay icon wannabe Katie Hopkins, after she screamed at him to be quiet, which brought the celebrity blogger to tears. It all happened when Perez confronted Ken about his behaviour in the house that infuriates Katie. Perez further felt Katie’s anger when he questioned her about sleeping with her now husband when he was still married to a previous woman. Needless to say, Katie was not happy about her actions being questioned.

    Enough is enough: Katie Hopkins silences Perez with a hand, letting him know that she has had enough of his voice and his opinions.

    Reduced To Tears: Perez tries to answer back but Hopkins’ acid tongue silences and reduces him to tears.

    Gleeful: Katie tells Big Brother that she’d like to step on Perez like a small fly.

    Later on, Katie tells Big Brother that today’s task made Perez look like “a dingbat” and admits that she is not likely to ever get on with him. She then likens him to a “small fly that I will step on, and will be removed from this House, hopefully by my hand. I’ll be pleased to see him go”

    Who do you want to see win?

  • Perez Happy For Another Gay In Big Brother

    Perez greeted nineties singer Kavana with pleasure last night with ‘another gay’ comment.

    Openly gay Perez Hilton was visibly excited during yesterday’s launch show when Kavana, who came out last year at the age of 36, entered the house. “Another gay” greeted Kavana, who looked somewhat bemused.

    However not everyone knew about Perez’s sexuality after former Corrie actor, Ken Morley, who will share a bed with the celebrity blogger, enquired about his sexual orientation. Perez assured Ken that there will be no funny business, however, did go on to tell the group that he can’t share a bed as he gets erect when he comes into close body contact with another person.

    Perez Hilton is well known for his celebrity spats. Most recently he and Azealia Banks made headlines and in 2013 Hilton feared for his and his son’s life when he fell out with Lady Gaga.

    Ooo er.

  • Foggy And Jake Quickenden Compare Package Sizes

    It’s not what you usually expect from good old family entertainment, but the two remaining men of this years I’m A Celebrity Get me Out of Here, compared penises sizes yesterday before a task.

    Looking at their respective costumes ahead of the infamous Cyclone task on last night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, Jake Quickenden exclaimed, ‘Yours is bigger than mine!’ before putting his hands down the front of his costume to readjust himself – as a bemused Carl ‘Foggy’ Fogarty looked down to check out his own tackle. Later on, after successfully completing the challenge, back at the camp, Foggy decided to give the remaining campmates a show, by pulling up his trunks to show off his bulge and spanking his bottom at former Tory politician Edwina Currie, who despite complaining about the show, couldn’t keep her eyes off the former racing champion gyrations.

    Tonight one of the three remaining celebs, Mel Sykes, Jake Quickenden and Foggy will be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle after Edwina Currie was booted from the camp in last night’s episode.

    According to a poll on Digital Spy, Jake Quickenden is favourite to win with 39.5% of the vote, whilst Foggy has 32.6% of the vote and Mel has 27.8%.

    Jake entered the jungle, with Edwina, late when Gemma Collins and Craig Charles left the competition at the beginning of the series.

  • Majority Think Cheryl Should Be Dropped From X Factor

    Majority Think Cheryl Should Be Dropped From X Factor

    A new X-Factor poll has revealed that 59% of heat magazine readers think Simon Cowell should drop Cheryl as a judge.

    A survey of over 1,000 visitors to heatworld.com asked if Simon was to drop a female judge, it should be Cheryl, with 58 per cent saying the judges bickering is “overshadowing the acts”, and 54 per cent calling Mel B “the most honest judge”.

    Speaking exclusively to heat last week, axed X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden said that he felt the contestants weren’t being treated fairly by the judges.

    “Simon is the king of mind games, but it would be better to get some constructive criticism rather than just arguing among themselves. I liked Mel, because she was straight with you – she wouldn’t bulls**t you like what may happen with the others.”

    Back in June, Simon said he was pinning all his hopes on Cheryl, 31, returning as the big name on the panel.

    “The pressure is going to be on Cheryl this year. There’s a real buzz,” he said. “People are already talking about it and I think that’s partly because Cheryl is back. All eyes are going to be on her, but she knows that and she’s ready.”

    “The X Factor is one of the toughest shows on TV to get right,” says heat’s TV editor Boyd Hilton. “The show needed more ‘characters’, like it had in 2010, when it was getting 14million viewers watching acts like 1D, Wagner and Katie Waissel. The emphasis this year has clearly been on trying to mix quality acts with big personalities. Unfortunately for those who watch the show for talent, some of those personalities aren’t great singers.”

    However, the heat survey isn’t all criticism – 70 per cent said they are enjoying The X Factor more than Strictly this year. And while Strictly is scoring two million more in the ratings, The X Factor’s 7.5million viewership is still impressive. “The Saturday live shows have been very long, so the show finishes after 10pm,” says heat’s Boyd. “It’s nigh-on impossible to beat Strictly’s Saturday ratings with that scheduling. Interestingly, X Factor does better on a Sunday with the hour-long show, in which you can catch up with Saturday night anyway.”

    Other statistics:

    38% think Simon is the best mentor, Louis is considered the worst mentor with just 3% of votes. He’s also considered the ‘most boring’ judge.

    78% think Simon’s return has improved the show.

    Mel B is the meanest judge according to heat readers with 60% of votes.

    47% think Andrea Faustini is set to win this year’s show with 22% saying they would buy his album.

  • Jack Walton Booted Off X Factor

    Hottie Jack Walton was booted off the X Factor last night after a surprise double elimination this week.

    The young Yorkshire man failed to impress the judges with his shaky rendition of Leona Lewis’s mega smash Bleeding Love.

    Despite being the most popular contestant on the programme Jack failed to rack up the votes after his performance, despite his massive fan base each given 5 free votes on the X Factor App.

    This year X Factor voting rules have changed, with X Factor app users given 5 free votes per elimination.

    He was, however, the bookies’ favourite to be booted off the show. He is the second of Mel B’s northern lads to be kicked off after Jake Quickenden was axed last week.

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