Popbitch would like to apologise to Mr Mohamed
Al Fayed and his family for any offence caused in
last week's edition. We have since been informed
that the story we ran was wholly untrue and
without substance. So once again we apologise to
the Fayed family.
>> Eurovision turns to the dark side <<
Festival of Euro-camp suddenly gets serious
The 50th Eurovision song contest was a triumph for
the new, vibrant Kiev, and widely thought by fans
to be the best ever. However, behind the scenes
it's all going a bit dark. Eurovision has become
such a great mechanism for a country to show off
its modern face and tourism to the rest of
the continent. Now the stakes are so high the
atmosphere has become aggressive, with some
countries trying to bend the rules to gain
an advantage on stage. Belarus, Europe's
poorest country, spent about $1m on its
entry this year and didn't even make the final.
They even bought up huge swathes of seats in the
semi-final, and gave them to Eurovision fans in
return for them wearing Belarus t shirts. And
resentment of the Big Four (UK, France, Spain,
Germany) who always qualify for the final is
rising. Although the four all had truly awful
songs this year, its no coincidence they
finished rock bottom. Roll on Athens, 2006...

The Eurovision fan nightclub was packed solid with
beautiful Ukrainian women desperate to land a rich
Western husband... but failing to understand
this was a cult gay event...

>> Dermot holds his end up <<
The tale behind the tabloid tale
Cricket commentator, and ex-playing star,
Dermot Reeve was plastered across the Sunday
tabloids confessing his cocaine addiction.
The story found its way to the papers thanks
to two young hookers who Dermot had been
playing away with. He liked to shag the blonde
one, Angel, and then watch her get it
on with her brunette friend, while he
got stuck into the gak. Not only were the
girls happy to charge the drug-addled
lothario 750 pounds a go, rather than their
usual 125 quid fee, and share his drugs but
they then didn't hesitate to shop him
to the tabloids for a bit more cash.
C'mon girls... that's just not cricket.

Learn to do the snowball
Snowballing is the sexual practice of returning
the product of fellatio to the donor's mouth.
For some weird reason, some escorts in Madrid
offer this service to their clients by asking
"Would you like a Beckham?"

What people are asking this week?
Which Hollywood actor's unlikely
attempts to seduce an older co-star
may be the result of a recent appetite for
crystal meth?

>> Smart Exit <<
Circus proprietor kicks the bucket
Billy Smart, Britain's most famous circus
proprietor, died last week. Out of respect
for the great man, we reprint this small
but pleasing story:
SM writes:
"A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to be
a judge at the World Poledancing Championships,
in Ealing. On the judging panel was silver-
haired Billy Smart.
"'Have you ever been to Las Vegas?" he asked
me as we watched the pole action. 'Wonderful
city. You should go and see Siegfied and
Roy's show. It's marvellous.' Mr Smart then
paused for dramatic effect...'Matter of fact,"
he said, casually. 'I sold Siegfried an
elephant last week.'"

Abi Titmuss refused to sign her Celebrity Love Island

>> Don't stop singin' <<
Whatever happened to Jo S Club?
Jo S Club, the one in S Club 7 who could sing,
has been celebrating her escape from the pop
machine by becoming a huge enthusiast for bingo.
As well as playing in Romford, she's also a fan
of Sky's Avago interactive bingo channel. She
has been a regular texter to the show and at
one point even sang for them on the phone live on
air when the presenter asked her to prove to
viewers it was her.
Jo's other hobby is karaoke. Some admiring fans
saw her belt out a version of The Greatest Love
Of All in a Shoreditch pub. Thankfully, Jo
seems to have started working with uber-
producer Brian Rawlings so we might be lucky
and get a talented teen band singer back...

Cover your ears: Victoria Beckham is venturing back
into the studio this summer. She'll be recording
something with a "Salsa feel" in Madrid.

Anyone remember The Shamen?
AR writes:
"When I was one of the management team at the
Town and Country Club, The Shamen did a gig there,
around the time of Ebenezer Goode.
The Irish cleaner assigned to clean up the backstage
area phoned me saying she was about to quit, having
caught a member of the band in the middle of 'an
unnatural act' with another man.

Rome's gay scene is buzzing with the rumour that Pope
Benedict XVI has a secret priest lover. The money is

>> Huge Toole <<
Peter O'Toole's swordsman son
Rod Stewart is a huge fan of Peter O'Toole,
so he was delighted when Peter came to his recent
Dublin gig, accompanied by his son Lorcan.
Lorcan, who calls himself Brian when going
incognito, proceeded to bang Rod's sax player
Katja, and cosy up to Rod's girlfriend Penny.
Rod should be worried: Swordsman Lorcan has
apparently already ticked off Andrea Corr, Kelly
Brook and Denise Van Outen, in addition to nicking
a girl called Rachael off Eddie Izzard last summer.
Callum Best has a rival.

In Bogota, Columbia, gossip has been made illegal

Penises, TV nightmares, Jesus Christ
What to do this bank holiday weekend? Get a
fox and make a stew - kill a fox, leave it on
the roof in a gutter for at least three nights,
skin it, cut it into pieces and leave it to soak
overnight in buttermilk. It should then be
marinated in red wine for three days, flambeed
in brandy and finally simmered for two hours
in the sieved marinade, thickened with flour
and water. A quarter of an hour before serving,
add some chocolate to the sauce.' (from
Lucy Pinney.)

You think the bottom of the reality TV barrel
has been scraped? Try this new show -
"Are you a guy unlucky in love? Are you more
average Joe than Tom Cruise? If you've got bags
of personality and are looking for love we want
you for an exciting new show for Channel 4!.
You'll get to date three beautiful girls who
will think you're the next Brad Pitt - the only
catch is these girls will be hypnotised so it's
up to you to convince them that it's all about
personality rather than looks so that when these
girls slip out of their hypnotic state they will
still be madly in love with you."

A man walks into his bedroom carrying a sheep.
His wife is reading in bed. The man says,
"This is the pig that I fuck when you've
got a headache".
His wife retorts, "I think you'll find
that THAT is a sheep."
The man replies, "I think you'll find that
I was talking to the sheep."
