The world of celebrity news, with added cuss-ometer ratings...

SexyBrat!
JustinIf you see Justin Timberlake milling about in your home town, just leave him THE HELL alone, unless you want a faceful of pop star sweary bile. And that stuff can really leave a stain.

These are the hard lessons Swedish Timberfans had to learn when trying to approaching JT. A Swedish magazine reports that Justin, who clearly spent his time in the country in a very bad mood, refused to have his picture taken with fans, sarcastically responding to a little girl's camera request with the harsh words "you want me to juggle also?"

Now, this might just be a load of tabloid hooey, and certainly the less-than-orthodox English in Justin's nasty little jibe there seems to either indicate that he was so angry he forgot how to form sentences, or that someone is making quotes up on his behalf.

F***Ometer Reading: HighIf they ARE, they also made up this memorable exchange...

Shouty JT fan from distance: "f***face!"
JT: "You're calling me a f***face? Go f*** yourself!"

It's like Shakespeare never died (and went into Swedish tabloid journalism) innit?

====================================

Bjork is sending Britney Spears some extracts from her diaries which deal with her battle with celebrity. Particularly being a celebrity pop star mother.

She says: "I feel so sorry for her. I have sent some of her thoughts that I wrote down when I was going through similar stuff. I was able to move away though. But she can’t. But she can always stay in Iceland at my place."

Oh please let someone record their duets around a roaring fire...

====================================

Never mind people yelling at Beth Ditto from the Gossip because she's overweight and stuff, she wants to take the argument about the objectification of the female form to the next level by instigating a revolt against women shaving their legs and armpits.

fometer_med.jpgShe says: "Why should we shave? Men don't. I think it's sexy. And if there's anybody who can make the girls ditch the razors, it's Kate (Moss). She's so f**king hot. I'd like to see her try and shave at Glasto."

Anyone else sort of lose sympathy for the great big pervy-britches at that point? Yeah, thought so...

====================================

F***Ometer Reading: LowRyan Jarman from the Cribs, speaking at the very green-minded Glastonbury festival: "They want us to speak out about global warming, but the biggest problem is the attitude of some indie bands. Isn't that a bigger problem?"

Ryan Jarman from the Cribs, after being told off: "At no point was I meaning to criticise the festival's climate campaign, I was just making a flippant remark about, how in my opinion, the mainstream mindset of most 'indie' bands these days is the real scourge we should be against."

Way to talk yourself out of a situation, fella. Just repeat what you said in a sorry tone of voice...

====================================

They say if you really want to connect with your audience, pick just one person and sing a whole song just to them. Advice Paolo Nutini wishes he had NEVER HEARD in his LIFE...

"Once when I did it a guy came up to me later and said, 'I saw you looking at me throughout that song'...I said: 'I'm sorry man, I think there was a girl right beside you,' And he went: 'Aww, it wasn't me?' It was the most awkward moment."

Yeah, that must've been dreadful for YOU, Paolo, never mind the poor bloke who thought he'd pulled a pop star...

====================================

Tom from the Enemy does NOT like people stealing his food. Even if the thief in question IS Peaches Geldof...

F***Ometer Reading: HIDE!!He told the Mirror: "She kept coming into our trailer all high and mighty nicking all our food. We were p***ed off with her for that, but then she started taking the p*** singing our song Away From Here and that was that.

"I told her to f*** off, that she was a nobody and should stop acting like a slag all the time. She muttered something like don't talk to me like that, but I didn't give a s*** and booted her out."

Seriously, all that over a SANDWICH? Oh hang on, he's still going...

"She's a rich posh kid who's just the daughter of Bob Geldof. Most bands couldn't give a f*** about her. Just what is the point of her being backstage? It's really embarrassing. Just who is she exactly?"

She's the girl who ate your crisps, Tom. Don't you ever forget it. Course, the irony is, her dad's been getting pop bands to feed people for years, so it's sort of a family tradition, this...
