Style Showdown: Kelly Brook Vs Amanda Holden
January 14, 2009
Following the announcement yesterday that Kelly Brook is to join the panel of Britain’s Got Talent, we imagine Amanda Holden to not be feeling too happy right now.
Someone who is younger, arguably sexier and fresher than she is has been hired by Cowell to give the third series of the show a boost- similar to the hiring Cheryl Cole to replace Sharon Osbourne, on the X Factor last year, some might say.
We all know how that one worked out, is Cowell hoping for similar success with Kelly? If so, she seems quite an odd choice considering that she hasn’t made a (good) movie in years and is pretty much known now for her love life rather than anything else.
We’ll admit that we were pretty enamoured with her when she appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, but since then, all she seems to have done is make-up and break-up with her Hollywood fiance.
Perhaps this is just the break she needs to change people’s perception of her, and to win a place in the nation’s heart. Does she have the ability to become Read more

Britain’s Missing Top Model: Sophie and Jess in Dinner Showdown!
July 26, 2008
Britian’s Missing Top Model contestants Sophie and Jess were seen having a heated showdown in this week’s show- leaving viewers split over who was in the wrong.
The row broke out after Jess sympathised with Kellie saying that in everyday life her mother interprets a lot for her because she can’t follow many conversations due to being deaf in one ear.
Sophie, having criticised Jess’s moaning in the past, interrupted saying: “Jess, you say ‘I can’t’ a lot”

Kelly Knox quickly jumped in on the Jess-bashing: “You can follow a normal conversation. Kellie can’t hear nothing”.
Sophie continues: “If you’re going to compare disabilities, then at the end of the day Kellie’s got a more serious one. It’s like when you compared yourself to me in my chair …”
Then quicker than you could say ‘Can we have the bill please?’ a quiet dinner made way for a heated debate about the nature of disability.
Jessica, clearly shocked by this turn in the conversation, said “I’m just trying to make a connection; to say that I understand what you’re talking about”. She continues: “You’ve never had to prove your disability to anyone …”
Jess’s argument is that because her disability is a lot less obvious than many of the other contestants, it’s been more difficult for her to get help, or even to get recognition that she does actually have an impairment.
Sophie, political as ever, is having none of it, she ranted: “You want it to be a lot harder for you. Your disability is very important to you; it almost defines you … Why do you need the recognition? Why do you need the sympathy?” She sums up her message in unequivocal terms: “Stop feeling so sorry for yourself!”
Following the emotional show the Britain’s Missing Top Model website saw a surge of visitors who all wanted to have tehir say about the dinner showdown.
Over 200 viewers answered a poll on the site within an hour of the show airing. The big question everyone was so eager to talk about was: In the disability showdown at the restaurant, who do you think was in the right? And the results so far are suprisingly split with 54% thinking Jessica was in the rightaand 46% in favour of Sophie.
