Paul Danan Interview: Pants Off, Dance Off
He fell in love with a hooker in Hollyoaks, nearly deafened everyone with his shouting in Celebrity Love Island and was dumped from Jack In The Beanstalk for swearing at the people of Preston – but at long last Paul Danan is back on our TV screens.
The actor is just one of the celebrities making an appearance in a new show called Dance Off Pants Off (yes really) and when we finally caught up with him, he gave us one of the shortest and sweetest interviews we have ever had the pleasure of typing up.
Oh and what happens on the island, stays on the island (and YouTube). Read More…
Weekly Soap Awards – 14th November 2009
If there’s one person you don’t want following you around chatting morals in your ear, then it’s Roy Cropper. We tried counting how many different words the human thesauras used for the word ‘dilemma’ this week – but failed miserably.
Poor old Tony, a heart-attack must have been a picnic compared to a couple of minutes with synonym-happy Papa Vocabulary.
Meanwhile pyro-craziness has spread from London to Yorkshire and Sally scoops an award for her spectacular burning of the Church. She also gets special mention for being an absolute nutter, but no-one else in the sticks seems to have noticed this massive character flaw.
We feel like we’re taking crazy pills here… Read More…
Strictly Come Dancing Interview: Ricky and Erin
The last time we interviewed a couple for Strictly, they were booted off the very next day! Obviously we didn’t mention that to Ricky Groves and Erin Boag.
But we suppose that working for Phil Mitchell might prepare you for intimidating environments.
When we chatted at the hallowed BBC centre, they seemed concerned about the upcoming Viennese Waltz – we were more concerned about Ricky’s ringtone… Read More…
V Remake Video: Exclusive Preview
When Elizabeth Mitchell left Lost, fans were outraged.
“She’d better have a good reason for leaving,” they grumbled.
Well, from the looks of this exclusive peek into Sci Fi’s much-lauded remake of 80s sci-fi classic V, she did.
Mitchell plays Erica Evans, an FBI agent who’s suspicious of the Visitors who have come to Earth spreading what seems to be a message of love, peace and very very attractive people.
We’ve already seen the first episode, and if you love your sci-fi, you’re going to be hooked.
You can also catch the first four minutes of the first episode on Sci Fi’s own website here.
Soap Awards of the Week – 9 November 2009

What a boring time we have had to endure in soapland this week folks, and not a stray firework in sight!
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the OTB fireworks party which ended with a trip to A&E and a stiff warning from the fire department – everyone knows you don’t go back to a lit firework.
As Archie found out last Friday, you should never go back to the scene of a crime either – that’s what we call a game-changer people. Read More…
Ruth Gettinger Interview: Ruby

When doctors told Ruby Gettinger that she needed to lose some of her 500lb bulk to save her life, it sparked one woman’s desire to finally beat her demons and helped create a television phenomenon.
Last year’s first episode of Ruby – a show which tracked the progress of the huge woman’s battle against her bulge – was the “most-watched season premiere in Style Network’s history” – so it’s not too surprising to see the show returning this winter.
We talked to her about Jamie Oliver, meeting the President and what it feels like to be told that you could be dead within a month…
Your programme was one of the most successful shows ever, why do you think you have been so popular with the American public?
It really shocked me at first, but I think people were able to connect with my honesty. It just shows how many people out there are suffering – not only from obesity but from a range of addictions – and are looking for some sort of help.
Do you get recognised on the street nowadays?
I do! It was so weird at first but so many people all across the country have started Read More…
Strictly Come Dancing Craig & Flavia Interview

Strictly Come Dancing is off to Blackpool this weekend, but the contestants won’t have time to enter the sandcastle competition – they’ve got bigger fish to fry.
One pair who will be sweating bullets to avoid another dance-off are Flavia Cacace and actor Craig Kelly.
We were delighted when they took time out of their Jacko-like rehearsal schedule to chat to us about Brucey, Titanic and what the hell Craig’s Corrie character did with all Rosie’s money… Read More…
The Lowdown: Things You Never Knew About Pamela Anderson

Filed under - Home, Features, The Lowdown
A red one-piece bathing suit and bleached beach blonde hair are synonymous with Pamela Anderson. Men want to have her baby. Women want to have her body. She is an undeniable staple of pop culture.
At 41, she is best known for her roles on the television series Home Improvement, Baywatch, and V.I.P. Then there is the eleven-time record for Playboy Magazine cover, and the fact that she is the most downloaded woman on the internet.
And what is one of People Magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People in the World up to these days? Kicking it with Joe Swash, of course. So, to help you brush up on your Pammy know-how, we have compiled a list of things you might not have known about the mother, actress, entrepreneur, and sex goddess. Read More…
Will Poulter Interview: School Of Comedy, Narnia and More!
November 4, 2009 by Sean Marland
Filed under - Home, Features
Back in the days of Corey Feldman, being a child star was all whiskey and cigarettes. These days the next-generation of Hello! fodder aren’t quite so vicarious.
Will Poulter for instance seems to have found a happy balance between film and television – and he he’s only just finished his GCSEs.
So we talked to the young star of the Channel 4 show School of Comedy – which has its series finale on E4 this Thursday – about Voyage of the Dawn Treader (his new film), Son of Rambow (his old film) and whether or not Eustace Scrubb deserved it. Read More…

If you were having a good time last week, spare a thought for the poor Darren Miller. Just like the mother of his ill-fated child at a buffet – he has a lot on his plate.
The mite hasn’t even started revising for his GCSE mocks yet and at this rate, his exam failure is about as predictable as the annual soapland firework safety plot-line.
So which character’s turn is it to get third-degree burns in the name of public welfare this year?
Who says romance is dead? After seeing Corrie newbie Jake risk imprisonment for a quick smooch, certainly not us.
The buff handyman quite literally dropped in on the bar-maid as she enjoyed a bath with a bit of Fleetwood Mac, and when her towel fell off, he did what every self-respecting man with a pair of eyes would have done – he gives her a proper snog.
Nice one son! Read More…
