The 9 0'Clock News – Thu 28 Aug

BB gives Rex and Darnell ANOTHER warning about bullying:
Big Brother have come down hard on Darnell and Rex, after Ofcom received over 1500 complaints about their bullying behaviour towards Sara. On last night's show you watched BB call both boys to the Diary Room and tell them off – but since then they have been issued with a stark warning: bully again, and you're out. Viewers complained in their hundreds after watching Tuesday night's show, where Sara broke down in tears after being teased by Rex and bullied by Darnell, who called her an "ugly bitch" and a "slut". It's the largest number of complaints received since the infamous Shilpa Shetty incident on Celebrity Big Brother last January. Rex denied that he had bullied the Aussie, telling BB, "I hate bullies. I would never bully someone." Hmmm, we think Rex needs to realise the difference between what's funny and what's just plain mean. Darnell even admitted to Kat and Rachel last night that he only picked on Sara because she had rejected him, saying he wanted to "hurt her back". Nice. Darnell and Sara eventually agreed to be "civil" to each other last night, after yet another argument, but she's definitely forgiven Rex – she didn't even nominate him last night! Plus, we bet Sara isn't too worried about two silly boys and their silly bullying anymore – she's waking up £25,000 richer this morning!

X Factor "cheater" speaks
After yesterday's statement from ITV we thought all this X-Faker business had been cleared up – but it would appear not. Alan Turner has now come forward to explain in more detail the reasons behind all the confusion, saying that he DID have a traumatic childhood, and that it was in fact WORSE than the original story he told the judges. Alan, 23, claims that both his parents abandoned him when he was four, and that he was also sexually abused as a child. He admitted, "Although I knew who my parents were, I never knew the people they were." Despite Alan's father's claims that his son was a "clot" and that the two were speaking regularly, Alan said, "I have never called him dad and won't call him dad to this day." He also says he hasn't seen his father since he was in his teens. Alan tearfully explained that he wasn't sure of how to explain his childhood to the X Factor judges, and that's why his account may have come across as dishonest. "It wasn't a true reflection of my life, but if they did all of it, then it would take up the whole show," he said. Speaking about his mum, Alan says he believes she placed him in foster care with his granny because she couldn't cope with what had happened to him as a child. "She left me with a gay friend who abused me," explained Alan. The wannabe singer says he still loves him mum very much, and that he wants her to be proud of him. He now lives with his girlfriend Lizzie and the couple have a six-week-old baby son called Lewis. Maybe there will be a happy ending for Alan at the end of this year's X Factor...

The Muppets are back – hurrah!
If you're anything like heatworld then you probably grew up addicted to The Muppets – ie the best kids TV show EVER. Miss Piggy, Kermit and Animal so beat the pants off, er, well whatever it is that kids watch today (yes, we're that old that we have no idea.) So hurrah for the fact that it's back in the form of a film and a TV show – penned by Hollywood funnyman Jason Segel. "The movie plot involves all the Muppets uniting to save their studio with one last variety show. If the movie script is popular Jason will write the TV series too,"  confirmed a Disney source. All together now: It's showtime!
 
Nicole writes a song for Lewis
It's usually the bloke serenading his laydeee, so lucky old Lewis Hamilton *cough*, as his girlfriend Pussycat Doll Nicole is like, sooooooooooooooooo in love with him that she's decided to write him a song. It''s called I Think I'm In Love and Nic is even thinking of putting it on the new PD album. "It's a very personal song," reveals Nicole (so personal, you're sharing it with the entire world, Nic? Um, OK). We also love the fact that it's called I think I'm in love – just incase she changes her mind. Who said romance was dead?
