Cliff Richard outsells Justin Bieber's calendars

The pop veteran, who stripped to the waist for one of the shots, at the age of 70, has the biggest-selling male celebrity calendar, according to new figures from Amazon.co.uk

Age has proved to be no barrier to his appeal as the septuagenarian pin-up holds off newcomers. Sir Cliff has been the all-time biggest seller for calendar maker Danilo with more than 1.5 million sold over the years.

Amy Worth, head of book buying at Amazon.co.uk, said: ''The fact that Sir Cliff is holding off competition from the likes of JLS and Justin Bieber shows just how popular he is and it seems that his images will be adorning walls in people's homes all over the UK from January 1.

Not bad for 70 !!

Brian Dowling Wins Ultimate Big Brother 2010

Ultimate Big Brother 2010 - Highlights Show August 26 Part 5

Dear God!

Im Yours -The Script (these lyrics sum me up, its like i wrote the song)

You touch these tired eyes of mine
And map my face out line by line
And somehow growing old feels fine
I listen close for I'm not smart
You wrap you thoughts in works of art
And they're hanging on the walls of my heart

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours

You heeled these scars over time
Embraced my soul
You loved my mind
You're the only angel in my life
The day news came my best friend died
My knees went week and you saw me cry
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours 


I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
I know I don't fit in that much But im yours

Paul Daniels accused of homophobia over sausage jibe

Strictly Come Dancing was hit by a string of viewers’ complaints following a quip directed at judge Craig Revel Horwood by contestant Paul Daniels.

Dozens of viewers contacted the BBC to protest after Daniels, 72, told Revel Horwood not to give up ‘his day job tasting sausages’ on the first show of the new series.

The Australian-born judge, 45, has openly talked about his homo sex uality in the past and his life with partner Grant MacPherson.

Many viewers assumed Daniels was taunting him about his sex uality and vented their fury on a BBC website and on Twitter.

One of them branded Daniels ‘a t**t’ and another described the magician’s comments as a ‘s**t joke from a dinosaur’.

One viewer who complained on Twitter said: ‘Found Paul Daniels’ comments to Craig Revel Horwood offensive and homophobic. That kind of Jim Davidson derogatory humour aimed at gay people is simply not acceptable in today’s UK.’

Another protested: ‘I was quite disgusted – totally homophobic and uncalled for. I know the show is after the watershed but comments like this should not be broadcast.’

Australian Craig Revel-Horwood told not to give up 'his day job tasting sausages'

But it appeared last night that Daniels was actually referring to Revel Horwood’s upcoming role promoting British Sausage Week, which is launched on November 1. And both Daniels and Revel Horwood yesterday posted messages on their Twitter sites in an attempt to defuse the row.

Daniels, himself a former frontman of Sausage Week, wrote: ‘Media this morn trying to make me homophobic. Crazy. Why do journos and editors want to live in a nasty world of their own creation.’

Revel Horwood wrote on his Twitter page: ‘Paul Daniels was naturally referring to my being crowned King of the Sizzle for sausage week!’

But some angry viewers were unconvinced. One wrote: ‘I strongly suspect that PD knew exactly what meaning could be read into the comment. He will protest his innocence whilst smirking.’

Strictly Come Dancing, which is hosted by Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly and is one of the BBC’s biggest hits, launched its new series on Friday. Fourteen celebrities are taking part and seven of them, including Daniels, performed their first dances on Friday’s show.

Not so magical: Paul Daniels and Orla Jordan in action and stunned by Revel Horwood and his score of just two

Daniels and his partner Orla Jordan performed the cha-cha-cha and received some of the harshest comments of the night and the lowest score. 

The routine began with Daniels reprising his role as a magician and conjuring his partner out of a box, then the pair danced to the pop classic Could It Be Magic.

Revel Horwood was the most acerbic judge in his comments about the performance. 

He said the best thing about the routine was the empty box and criticised Daniels for lip-syncing along to the song. 

He said: ‘You were lip-syncing for your life, darling,’ adding: ‘I would move on before I get technical, darling.’

It was then that Daniels made the comment about the sausages.

Seconds later, Revel Horwood was booed by the audience when he gave the couple just two points out of a possible ten. The three other judges awarded them a further 14 points, taking their final score to 16.

Bruce Forsyth, who ignored the comment about sausages, praised Daniels for being a good sport and for being entertaining.

A BBC spokeswoman insisted last night that Daniels’ comments related to the fact that Revel Horwood was fronting National Sausage Week.

A spokesman for British Sausage Week described the comments as ‘a lovely light-hearted quip’ that had been misunderstood by some people.' 

He added: ‘We are sure no offence was meant.’

BB TIME TO SAY GOODBYE VIDEO

BRIAN Dowling has been crowned the Ultimate Big Brother housemate.

The former trolley dolly, 32, beat Nikki Grahame and Chantelle Houghton after receiving 49 percent of the public vote.

Brian, who was dressed in a suit and tie, burst into tears and shouted "Thank you so much" as he was officially declared the winner of the final show.

As he danced down the stairs to fireworks, the crowd cheered on and Brian joked that they had got the winner wrong.

Speaking about the impact of the show, he said: "It's one of the best things I could have ever done. The show is also about hope, in the sense that it gives people the opportunity to make their life that little bit better."

Brian said he owed everything to the show and thanked the viewers who had voted for him.

As Davina showed Brian a montage of his time in the house she told him she wanted to see him on TV soon.

The Irishman told Davina to get her people to contact his people, adding he would be taking a holiday first and perhaps perform panto in Ireland.

Nikki Grahame came second after receiving 30.2 percent of the public vote but was happy Brian had won.

Nikki congratulates Brian

"I love you. Well done," she said before heading outside.

Nikki, who first entered the house in 2006 dressed as a Playboy bunny, was known for her tantrums.

Grahame, 28, told Davina that taking part in Ultimate Big Brother "has meant the absolute world to me".

Nikki, said she was so thankful for being part of the show and said has learnt to control her fiery temper.

She said: "You have to consider the other housemates. I have had to bite my tongue lots of times but I kind of erupted inside. I have learned to do that. It's taken four years."

In third place was Chantelle Houghton who won Celebrity Big Brother in 2006 despite being the only housemate who was not actually famous.

Chantelle obtained 20.5 percent of the vote and talked to Davina about her feelings for ex-husband Samuel Preston.

Chantelle will speak to Preson about her feelings

The Essex glamour girl, who took part in the 2006 celebrity show when she had to pretend to be a singer with fictional pop band Kandy Floss, met the Ordinary Boys singer in the house and romance blossomed.

The couple married but split after just 10 months together and later divorced.

They remained friends and viewers were delighted to see them reunited in the house this summer, many hoping the pair would get back together.

Chantelle, who admitted she still had feelings for Preston, told Davina: "It's a different outcome now. Obviously we're not going to be together."

She was often tearful in the house and said: "My head was a complete mess the whole time.

"It's such a sad situation. I don't think I realised how sad it was until I spent so much time with him.

Chantelle admitted: "I hadn't ever really got over what happened between us."

Preston remained oblivious to her misery until this afternoon when she confessed, anxious that he would hear about it during his post-eviction interview.

Chantelle said that she would be speaking with her ex-husband tomorrow.

During his ex-wife's interview Preston looked uncomfortable as the camera panned back to him in the crowd.

BB NADIA IN SUICIDE BID

BOOED Big Brother housemate Nadia Almada was rushed to hospital after a suicide bid, it was revealed yesterday.

The fragile Portuguese transsexual took an overdose days after saying: "I want to end it all."

Angry rows ... Coolio

famous

A pal staying at her council flat found her slumped in her bathroom after she swallowed a mixture of prescription drugs and painkillers.

The friend dialled 999 and 33-year-old Nadia - booed during her eviction from Ultimate BB last Friday - was taken to hospital.

She was kept under observation throughout Wednesday evening until doctors declared her fit enough to return home.

A source close to the reality TV star - runaway winner of BB5 in 2004 - said: "This is a cry for help. She is very unhappy."

Viewers turned against Nadia - born Jorge Leodoro - after she upset BB11 winner Josie Gibson, 25, by criticising her lover John James Parton, 24.

She ranted when she discovered fellow contestant Ulrika Jonsson was being paid five times as much as her.

And she had furious rows with rapper Coolio, leading to him leaving the house by mutual agreement with BB bosses.

She has received hate mail and claimed Channel 4 edited the show unfairly to make her look like a villain.

Later, she said: "I just feel my life isn't worth living any more. I'm in the gutter and completely distraught."

A Big Brother spokeswoman said last night: "We have been in constant touch with Nadia and like all housemates she has access to all of our after care facilities."

NADIA I WANT TO END IT ALL

SUICIDAL former housemate Nadia Almada has revealed that Ultimate Big Brother has left her feeling as if her life isn't worth living anymore and claims that she was bullied by Coolio, who was ejected from the house on August 28.

The transsexual, who won the affection of the public in BB5, has told how her time in the house has left her in emotional turmoil.

She revealed in an interview with a newspaper: "I want to end it all. I just feel my life isn't worth living any more.

"I can't carry on living the way I feel. I'm in the gutter and I'm completely distraught. Going back on Big Brother has ruined my life. I was the victim in that house but I was shown to be the villain.

"I'm just gutted. I hate my life so much right now and sometimes ending it all is the only solution. I'm at the lowest point I've ever been so I'm surrounding myself with friends and family and hoping God will be there for me.

"I was already in a vulnerable place and this has thrown me overboard. When this mess is over I just don't know what I'll do. I'm losing it. I'm emotional. This is the last thing I need in my life.

"My car has had eggs thrown all over it and I've had horrible notes sent to me, calling me a bitch. I've had to start avoiding people and stop answering calls. I don't know how much more I can take. I feel betrayed by Channel 4. There was no loyalty from them, no duty of care. They failed to protect me.

"Coolio targeted me on the first night and he wouldn't leave me alone. He kept asking about my gender status and he humiliated me over it. If it had been a racial slur they would have shown it but because it was against a transsexual they edited it out. They made it look like I wanted to leave over a pair of shoes but the truth is I was being bullied.

"I had a panic attack but that was left out as well. I'm going to speak to Ofcom and I want a public apology from Big Brother over this. I will be contacting lawyers and solicitors because I want to take things further. I was lured onto the show with them saying it would be a celebration. But after this I don't want to represent Big Brother any more.

"I don't feel safe to go out. I feel frightened. Big Brother discarded me. This has destroyed me. I was the nation's sweetheart and people embraced me. But now I'm the villain."

SAD THURSDAY

Josie leaves Big Brother House!!

Josie has left the Ultimate Big Brother house by breaking out of the garden fire escape.

She had been speaking with housemates all day about leaving the compound, but seemed to have been convinced by them to try to stick out the last two weeks.

Walking over towards the smoking area on her own, she suddenly burst through the fire escape doors and into the camera runs.

In a strange twist, one of the first people she met was John James in the Big Brother car park. He had been at the compound to record a message for her.

Still wearing her microphone, she was heard telling him: "Thank God you were here when I came out."

"You're so stupid," John James replied. "I love you so much!"

Josie admitted that she could not "handle it no more" and told John James: "I just thought f**k this, it's not worth it."

The pair kissed and Josie apologised to producers for quitting.

"I'm so sorry, guys," she said. "They're all really nice people don't get me wrong. I'm normal, I'm not a celebrity. I'm not like that."

A shocked Brian and Nikki had tried to follow Josie when she made her exit but they were immediately called back into the garden by Big Brother.

Chantelle revealed that while she had been making her nominations, Big Brother had told her they had a situation to take care of and needed her to leave the Diary Room.
