A half naked woman chainsawing a bit of wood? I’m a bit disappointed that FEMEN couldn’t come up with something a little more provocative to voice their support for Pussy Riot, aren’t you?

As a presenter of X-Factor, Caroline Flack rarely swings by my orbit. She’s fine with that, I’m fine with that. We’re cool.
When she got involved with the woolly looking kid from One Direction, the possibility of a 31-year-old embarking on any kind of relationship with a 17-year-old had never been considered in the realm of human possibility and the media treated the story with the over dramatic face-palming such a coup warranted.
It was then she appeared on my radar. I wasn’t overjoyed. Neither, I would imagine, was she.

When Arsenal were invincible, it seemed like their glory would go on forever. For game after game, their boundless beauty was the envy of teams the world over, and their grace and allure on the pitch might have launched ships, if North London wasn’t essentially landlocked.
Arsene Wenger has worked hard to maintain Arsenal’s looks over the past eight years, and it would be fair to say that occasionally, when light and dark collide and shadows fall at just the right angle over the Emirates, a casual watcher would never spot the imperfections.

Careful Vladimir. Pussy Riot are finding support in all kinds of unexpected places. This woman may present herself as an obedient young Olympian, but how do you know she’s not hiding a balaclava under her bouquet, ready to yank out before she bursts into song? Precedent says you’d have to arrest her.
That’d be awkward.

You can see where she got the idea. And given Lady Gaga’s recent indecision regarding the ethical rights and wrongs of wearing fur, Dam Hong Loan’s PETA protest against animal cruelty was beautifully timed.
One wonders how she’s going to deal with the inevitable slug issue, though. At least Gaga had a team of slaves available to swat at her meat dress before the blowflies settled in. It’s conceivable she has salted the shit out of those lettuce leaves, but when you consider the issues at stake here, leaving a trail of gasping, melting slugs in her wake probably isn’t the most politically sensitive move.
It’s an ethical dilemma, and no mistake.
Take a second to check PETA out. They do great work.
Disturbingly, this is not the most frightening image you will see in this post. Image via tumblr.
The Viewer is worried about Vicky from Geordie Shore, readers.
Don’t panic, she hasn’t undergone a personality bypass or anything. As we all know, Vicky’s behaviour does not inspire pity in normal people as much as uncontrollable violence directed towards the TV, but she has recently fallen under the spell of a known offender and Stockholm Syndrome is setting in.
Ricci, who has several warrants outstanding with the Fashion Police, has, through a system of ab exposure, short bursts of sex and incoherent screaming, tricked Vicky into thinking marrying him will be a good idea.

Rumour has it that alleged journalist and confirmed agitator of the utterly pointless, Samantha Brick, is about to appear in Celebrity Big Brother.
Oh God.
That’s a real dog. Not a handbag. Although at this point, it would pay to be cautious. Image via tumblr.
Anti-fur campaigner Lady Gaga:
I really loved that one in particular because I thought it was a commentary on not wearing fur, ’cause I hate fur and I don’t wear fur.
PETA baiter Lady Gaga:
For those press and such who are writing about whether or not my fur is actually real, please don’t forget to credit the designer HERMES. Thank You!
Make up your mind, luv. Inconsistency is where it all went wrong for Madonna, y’know.

It’s all over, people, and you can now expect the UK to drift back into the familiar territory of self-hatred and celebrity lovin’ superciliousness we know and the Daily Mail loves.
Let’s just have one more round-up to remember it by, shall we?

If you thought you could avoid the pernicous reach of Simon Cowell by simply refusing to watch the X-Factor, read about it and most importantly, buying any of the resulting musical excretions, you were wrong.
It would be lovely to have faith in the great British public and say it’s a coincidence that the Cowell’s favoured spawn over the last couple of years, Harry Styles of One Direction and Amelia Lily (of, well, Mr & Mrs Lily, presumably) had absolutely nothing to do with the news this morning that Harry & Amelia were the most popular baby names of 2011.
But given that Styles and his band of fluffy haired foetuses have enjoyed terrifying chart success in the last twelve months and Lily is on her way, having just signed a £500,000 three album deal with a Sony subsidiary, it’s almost certainly true.
Shall we just get it out of the way now and each of us offer Cowell our firstborn? You know it won’t be long.
