Alesha wins Strictly!

So, Alesha Dixon won Strictly Come Dancing last night, and what a worthy winner she was! With her professional dance parter, Matthew Cutler, she proved to be a very consistent performer throughout the series. She also performed marginally better in the final over her rival Matt Di Angelo. BUT I was a little bit disappointed with her finale, the free dance. Dancing to Bonnie Tyler’s classic, I Need A Hero, there was waaay too much cape action for me. AND to me it also looked like the kind of dance that two tweenagers would make up in their bedroom on a Saturday afternoon! See here:

On the other hand, Matt Di Angelo, with dance partner Flavia Cacace, was superb with his free dance to Lenny Kravitz’s Are You Gonna Go My Way! Take a look:

On another note, I was crying throughout the final – the show is too beautiful! So entertaining, funny, warm…I could go on. X Factor, on the other hand, makes me cry bitter tears. Of pain. And regret. Stupid X Factor.

You guys are mean!

I log into my stats today, and what do I find as one of the search terms for people coming to this blog? This:  

Losers on Dancing with the Stars 2007

That’s cold! COLD! Look, I know they don’t always get the biggest star names, and sometimes some of their dancing is rather average, but you really don’t have to call them losers. I’m sure they’re trying their best!

Big News – Pamela Anderson to Wed Again!

Pamela Anderson 

Okay, no, this really isn’t that big news at all…well, unless you’re a really, REALLY big fan of Baywatch and its alumni, or like crazy celebrity weddings. But Pamela Anderson is apparently thinking it’ll be third time lucky, as she and Rick Salomon (Paris Hilton’s co-star in, ahem, THAT video) have applied for a wedding license in Las Vegas.

Incidentally, it’ll also be a third marriage for him – Salomon has previously been married to Elizabeth Daily (voice of Babe the pig in the sequel, and of Tommy in Rugrats) and 90210-superbitch Shannen Doherty.

Wow, everything about this union screams class…

But what puzzles me is why this item is apparently a top entertainment news story on the BBC News website?! Should we expect to see this on TV news as well? I remember a few years back Oasis cancelled their tour of the US and flew back home, and that was one of the top news stories! Pah, grumpy Mancunians should not be top news.

Oh, and the BBC obviously don’t like Pamela Anderson – check out the photo they used of her. I know she’s getting er, older, but they can do better than that!

Update: Okay, having just searched through Google Images for Pamela Anderson pics, I now completely see the BBC’s problem. Cor, trying to find a “tasteful” pic amongst that lot was like trying to go through a minefield!
