Susan Boyle more famous than Barack Obama!
Britain's Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle – or Su-Bo, as we shall now be calling her – has overtaken even the President of the United States in number of YouTube views. The President's inaugural ceremony has only been viewed 18.5 million times, whereas Su-Bo's audition is now on track to scoop over 100 million hits over different sites. If she manages to pull in another 18 million views, Su-Bo will have the most-watched clip on YouTube EVER. Amazing. The world really has taken to the 48 year old from West Lothian, and she has now been interviewed in both America and Australia. Despite Piers hinting that a young female singer may steal her crown, the bookies are still giving Su-Bo the best odds – and even her fellow competitors think she should win. The world's gone Su-Bo crazy!

Take That write a book!
We’ve been waiting for Robbie to rejoin our favourite man band for-ever and now it could be finally happening… well, sort of. The Take That boys have signed a six-figure deal each to pen an official biography, and it’s rumoured Rob’s set to scribble down his inner most thoughts on the good ol’ days (before he started chasing UFOs and stuff). The two-part book, entitled Then And Now, will cover two decades and, according to a spokesman, will be “honest and personal” and contain lots of pictures and some personal snaps. By "personal" we’re hoping they mean semi-naked…

Amy suffers severe burns in cooking accident
Amy Winehouse has suffered severe burns to her legs, after a pan of boiling water was knocked over and spilled onto her. The star was busy cooking some pasta for friends in St Lucia when the accident happened and, although several layers of her skin were burnt away, Amy doesn't seem too bothered. She has since been spotted wandering down the beach with the burns uncovered, much to the concern of some onlookers. "They looked so painfully sore," said one holiday-maker. Amy's "people" however, simply say, "She's letting it breath." Hmm. Meanwhile, Amy's errant hubby Blake is demanding a paternity test be done to prove he is the father of former addict Gilleen Morris' baby, claiming he thinks she "made it up".

Too much information, Anthea!
We didn’t think squeaky clean Anthea Turner could ever shock us, but she might have actually done it. Put in a separate Hell’s Kitchen team from hubby Grant, sly fox Anth confidently told fellow teammates that she’d render him useless by having sex with him, adding, "Needs must – this is a competition". Ick – ex-Blue Peter presenter Anthea has sex! Worse still, according to blabbermouth Grant, she’s been true to her word, revealing, “We bonked all night. She was just trying to wear me out so I can’t think – and it’s worked”. No wonder a restaurant-full of diners lost their appetite, we can bearly keep our breakfast down!
