Jonathan Ross hosts the UK’s most popular chat show on a Friday night and though Norton’s show will air three days later, Beeb bosses have decided to film them on the same day. This will leave the two hosts battling it out for high profile guests.

It’s been a while since I had a good old rant so the pressure’s been building… and now it’s going to blow! There are some things that I am sick to death of seeing and hearing about on telly, and here’s just a few of them…
For a start, as good as she undoubtedly is, I am sooooooooooooooooo sick 
of hearing about Susan Boyle; she’s like poop in a cow field – you just can’t avoid her. Yes, she’s good, yes she’s ‘plain’ looking, yes people in the media industry are gagging to give her a makeover. Who cares?? There’ve been more – or at least equally – talented people on similar shows, such as Leona Lewis or Rhydian but in a society that prizes beauty and thinness so much, oddly, no such fuss was made of Leona, but bring on someone who looks like your average I-shop-at-Tesco-in-a-mac looking woman and everyone goes nuts!
And because she looks like she does/did, the BGT panel all clearly impatiently waited for something like a tortured cat sound to come out of her and then sat there like slack jawed yokels when she sounded good… and why? Because she’s not the prettiest of women let’s face it, so they didn’t expect her to have a good voice, but nonetheless, I’m sick to death of hearing about her and seeing her. It’s not her fault and I have no issues with her personally, but dang it, she’s even been mentioned on South Park! Read more & comment »
