  • Brit Stars Get Avatar-ed!

    Hey Lil, why so blue?

    These hilarious pics are the work of visual wiz Robert Paulson who’s given eighteen stars, including Lily Allen, Susan Boyle and Gordon Ramsay, an Avatar makeover.

    And I don’t know about you, but I think Amy Winehouse looks pretty good as a Na’vi – the blue skin is a big improvement on the sallow complexion and scabby skin she was sporting at the height of her ‘troubles’ anyway!

    Robert, 22, is a student in San Francisco who started the project after seeing the sci-fi smash, and each picture takes around two hours to complete.

    He said: “I can never get the look of the yellow eyes, with their hypnotic irises and pupils and the Na’vi’s glowing dots to my satisfaction – yet. I must have spent over 200 hours on this project so far. But jokes aside, it has given me a huge appreciation of the skill and detail and genius of James Cameron and his team on a technical level.”

    Robert says he’s just finished college and is now looking for a job. Maybe Jim can find him a spot on Avatar 2. You never know Robert… You never know!

  • SuBo’s Top Of The.. Er, Mops!

    According to The Sun newspaper today, Britain’s Got Talent singing sensation Susan Boyle suffered another bizarre public meltdown yesterday when she started singing and dancing into a mop at Heathrow airport.

    SuBo apparently grabbed the mop from a cleaner and gave a chaotic impromptu performance, before using the mop to clean other passengers shoes.

    After receiving complaints, British Airways then tried to calm her down, but Susan fled the Terminal 5 lounge shouting, “I’ve escaped, I’ve escaped.”

    An onlooker told The Sun: “It was chaos. Susan was very restless and agitated from the minute she walked in and immediately started making a scene.

    The source added, “She was singing and dancing around, shouting obscenities at full volume.”

    Susan was on her way to Chicago to go on The Oprah Winfrey Show. In the end a BA staff member sat with her until it was time to board her flight.

    This isn’t the first time SuBo has lost the plot and I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I don’t think SuBo is equipped to deal with the pressures of fame and it’s only a matter of time before she Boyles over again.

  • Ga-Ga’s goo-goo over SuBo!

    Lady Gaga has confessed that she is a secret Susan Boyle fan; I mean talk about chalk and cheese!

    The outrageous singer admitted, “I love Susan Boyle. She is my woman of the year. She has achieved more in this year than most artists will in a lifetime.”

    Well, well, I wonder what the hairy angel will make of this?

    Gaga added, “This time last year nobody even knew who she was and now she is knocking the world’s most established artists off the album and singles charts.” She continued, “Our styles are different. I don’t know if we could work together, but never say never. It would be great to work with somebody of that talent.”

    Boyle has already won an army of loyal celebrity fans including OPRAH WINFREY, ELAINE PAIGE, DEMI MOORE and even the US president BARACK OBAMA with her rags to riches story, but Lady Gaga? I would have never have believed this if were not for my well- placed source in the Gaga camp who is, ahem, should I say, um, pretty well placed indeed…

    Well, one thing’s for sure, at least they have one thing in common… the pair of them appear to be absolutely bonkers.

    Gaga told a pal that she had followed Subo’s meteoric rise ever since she saw her first Britain’s Got Talent audition on popular website YouTube and has been a loyal fan ever since. The pal added, “Lady G would love to get the chance to perform with Subo as soon as possible.”

    What a double act that would be eh, SuGa? GaBo? I love it, can’t wait!

  • Susan Boyle’s New Single Wild Horses

    Susan BoyleLAXI must admit, I am guilty of being a bit mean about Susan Boyle in the past, however I just listened to her forthcoming single and was really quite taken aback…

    Granted this mushy ballad – a cover of the 1971 Rolling Stones album track Wild Horses might not be for everyone’s ears, but I was slightly touched when I heard it first thing this morning.

    The singing sensation, dubbed ‘SuBo’ who was mobbed like a superstar on Saturday night when she jetted into Los Angeles, is all set to perform the song on America’s Got Talent this week and according to sources, it will be an absolute show-stopper.

    One source said, “Her opening performance to promote her album will be in front of 20 million viewers – so the stakes could hardly be higher than that.” He added, “But her cover of Wild Horses is sensational and people will be blown away.”

    I’m told Simon Cowell is a very happy man right now indeed!

    Check out the fantastic track for yourself below

    subo2What a week it’s been for poor old Britain’s Got Talent reject Susan Boyle, one minute she’s screaming at everyone around her having diva-style strops the next she has a suspected ‘emotional breakdown’, then the 48 year-old virgin is carted off ahem voluntarily to the Priory… Oh for the life of a superstar, eh?!

    But everything seemed back to normal today just five days later as she shopped up a storm in Hertfordshire, England following her release from the well-know London clinic…
