Let's start with Friday, After 93 days, Big Brother 10 finally came to a conclusion and the final five were whittled down to just one, and what a winner it was.
Sophie Reade was doing it for the girls as she battled with the other 4 males.
First out surprisingly was the Brazillian/italian part time moaner Rodrigo Lopez, who was swiftly followed by his part time lover Geordie Charlie Drummond although both were quick to deny that they were going to continue their relationship on the outside world.
that left us with Yorkshire's David Ramsden,Fashionista Siavash Signabour and Sophie Reade.
The ever annoying Davina McCall then interrupted action from the house again to announce that David had finished 3rd place and was somehow met with boos and jeers yet Charlie and Rodrigo were warmly greeted by cheers. (not saying anything about fixes lol).
Then it came, after all the tears and tantrums from the previous 3 and half months it was between Siavash and Sophie, and as they embraced each other cuddling and rocking back and forward on the sofa chants could barely be heard of support for Sophie, Then sophie's name was called out as the winner and as siavash was convincing The glamour model that she had won and NOT finished runner up.
after Siavash emerged from the house in his eviction costume The winner emerged from those doors and sophie recieved her prize money of £71,320 and has today announced that she is going to hand close pal Siavash £10,000 because he deserved it for wearing that costume for so long and the Fashionista is set to hand it to charity.
Well done to the winner and runner up

Football Catch up
Well after the controversy and the blatant cheating by Arsenal this week the Europa League Draw was made and Group C is a section i will be keeping a close eye on as My beloved Celtic fc were drawn in Group C alongside Rapid vienna, Hamburg and Hapoel Tel Aviv.
I have to say that i fancy our chances of qualifying by either topping the group or finishing second.
Hamburg is the obvious hurdle but if we can take all 9 points at home then i'd feel that we can sneak a draw here and there away.
Eduardo was benched for Arsenal at the weekend for the crunch tie with Man Utd at Old Trafford after his antics in the Champions league play off at the emirates.
Arsenal got exactly what they deserved on saturday evening but had me scratching my head a few decisions.
1.Arsenal get denied a stonewall penalty.
2.Arsenal then concede a Penalty that was'nt a pen, which gave united the equaliser
3.arsenal then gift united the lead with an own goal by Diaby.
4.Arsenal Diaby night gets even worse as he's booked for diving.
5.Finally Arsenal score in the final seconds of the game only to be ruled offside.
SOUND FAMILIAR LADS. LOL

X Factor Back
Well it's back and it signals that it's nearly Christmas, yes it has to be The X Factor.
We're already into week two and although the talent has been minimal due to the hopeless wannabe's blatantly wasting the shows air time with their screeching, we have uncovered some genuine possible talent.
Week one had four possible stars aiming to reach boot camp,
Young Geordie hopeful Joe McelDerry who got an immediate reaction from Mrs Cheryl Cole with coming from her hometown brilliantly sang Luther Vandross hit "Dance with my father" and got 4 yes passes from the judges.
Last Year hopeful Duane Lamonte narrowly missed out on the live shows but came storming back this year and sang "Aint No Mountain High Enough" only to be interrupted by the hand of Mr Nasty, Simon Cowell "Can you sing anything right now that is current" said Cowell this was met by a chorus of boos and jeers and was replied to by Duane Hitting back with a great rendition of Beyonce hit "Broken Hearted Girl" and this persuaded simon into giving the fourth yes.
However good these acts were the top two had to be Essex single mum Stacey Solomon who wowed the judges and the millions at home watching with "What a wonderful world" and Simon described her as potentially very very good.
the other star was Dance teacher Danyl Johnson and my pick to go all the way as he belted out "Little help from my friends" and is now the bookies fave to win.
Week two and only a couple of possible stars to report
Jamie Archer the cheeky chappie from putney known to his friends as jamie afro cockily but brilliantly sang Sex on fire by the kings of leon he had the audience singing along and even Simon Cowell couldnt help himself.
Daryl Markham from sussex was the first sob story of the new series as he admitted that his brother passed away 6 weeks after getting wed. he impressed the judges and sang Rod Stewart hit "i dont wanna talk about it"
Whatever week three brings us hopefully will find the next Leona Lewis,Will Young, or Girls Aloud

Former Newcastle United Number two Terry McDermott also paid tribute, he said " "It's devastating really.
Everyone knew it was coming - the people that saw him last weekend in the charity game could see he wasn't well,

that day Maradonna was Diminished in my eyes."
in 2006-07 Robson accepted the invitation to become special consultant with the Republic of Ireland
however due to bad health stepped down after a year.
He made his final public appearance at St James Park at a charity match on Sunday
between all star sides from England and Germany in which Sir Bobby shook the hand of every player.

Big Brother 10
Not been on in a while, been a bit busy, but i'm back with a bang now.
So what's been Hitting the headlines this week.
BIG BROTHER 10
the long running reality show has taken so many twists and turns in the past two weeks and has went from dull and boring to sexy and entertaining.
The five newbies that went in last week are now whittled down to two with Karly's boyfriend the much hated Kenneth couldn't handle the pressure of being up for eviction so he walked Posh boy Tom soon followed, which leaves us with the ever mysterious Bea and rather annoying Hira and the equally annoying Leeds lad David.
There's no doubt that these new housemates have livened the show up which is shown by the ratings on the up.
Also the housemates seem to have taken something as Sophie was seen cuddling up to Marcus, Noirin is jumping from ON/OFF boyfriend Siavash to the ever creepy Marcus.
Bea seems to be playing a good game in there as she is slagging off noirin one minute and then cuddling up to her all the time behind her back shit stirring between her and other housemates, also does she like Freddie or is she in there to scupper his chances of winning also then she goes and snuggles up to Marcus.
Now Big Bro has hammered the nail into Noirins proverbial Big Brother coffin so to speak by putting her American ex boyfriend in as a housemate who has the looks of a wentworth miller from prison break but is really just an annoying c''t and Noirin has dropped Siavash like a hot potato and went back to her slimy ex. she's now 1/20 to be the next housemate to get the boot and as much as she is gorgeous she deserves the boot.

That was The Week That Was
Well well, what a busy old week it's been and we're only at TUESDAY.
We've had confused stars at T In The Park at Balado over the weekend,Serious health issues regarding over an ex Footballer,The Monopolising world of football also has hit the headlines in various stories this week e.g Moneybags Man City splashing yet more cash on a couple of premiership stars, this and much more in
"That was The Week That Was".
We start with one of the biggest music festivals in the world T In The Park.
The balado musicfest excelled itself this year with headline acts such as
Kings Of Leon
Paolo Nutini
The Killers
Snow Patrol
Lady Gaga
Calvin Harris
The list is endless and i was glued to my tv screen all weekend but one of my friends did manage to get a ticket and told me all about it first hand.
Erin Kearney Of Glasgow said "we got to campsite and had to set everything up then went to see James Morrison perform on the main stage".
When asked who she liked and disliked through the weekends performances the feisty Glasgow lass told me Paolo Nutini was amazing, Erin also let slip that she had a fancy for the Paisley Lad saying that she loved Paolo "SHAGGABLE" Nutini.
American rock bands The Killers and Kings Of Leon also rocked her boat although with every amazing act that some T Rocker likes there has to be a Disliked artist, and this, for Erin was London girl Lily Allen who I thought is pretty good live, she disliked her and vented this by saying quite simply "she was s"""e, seriously i left the stage area when she came on".
T In The Park 2009 was also noteable for some rather bizarre string of confused music stars as Lady Gaga started her set off by greeting the audience "Hello London" she screamed, this was followed by Kings Of Leon by mistaking the Balado crowd for an Edinburgh crowd.
someone please send these artists a map of balado for next year, or is it newcastle or maybe it's london. see how easily confusing it is.
Now to some more pressing issues regarding Big Bad John Hartson following the devastating news that he has beend diagnosed with testicular cancer which has sadly passed on to his brain.
The messages of support has been flooding in and the old firm divide has been broken down as the green and white and light blue side of Glasgow Wishes the big Welshman all the very best and hopes that he beats the disease.
It's times like these that football seems second rate and it's not a case of life or death losing football matches but this isnt just a case of because he's an ex Celtic player, as ex Rangers footballer Craig Moore was diagnosed with the disease last year i contributed to the messages of support for the big man and he went on to beat cancer so everyone spare a thought and pray for a loveable big welsh guy Called John Hartson.
Staying with Football Manchester City are planning another super swoop for Arsenal Striker Emmanuel Adebayor after a supposed £30 million after securing the services of Argentine hitman Carlos Tevez from Manchester Utd.
Tevez was officially paraded at The City of Manchester stadium today and signed a five year contract.
But it is believed and unconfirmed reports are coming in that Adebayor could be on his way to Manchester as it's believed that Arsenal no longer require his services.

Michael Jackson Memorial Service
"THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER THAT EVER LIVED" The words of Motown records founder and lifelong friend Berry Gordy.
The king of pop was laid to rest yesterday evening at a glamorous and moving ceremony at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles rather fitting that the service should be staged there as it was only a couple of short weeks ago that MJ was in final rehearsals for his massive 50 shows london tour which was dubbed "This Is It".
The ticket sales reached 750,000 in just a few hours, who was to know on the 25th june 2009 that the man dubbed wacko jacko would collapse and die which would unite the WORLD in grief.
The Memorial service started at 6:30 BST and his gold plated coffin was brought in by his Brothers and his father whom he controversially left out of his will.
The ceremony began with a message of condolence from Nelson Mandela calling the singer a "giant and a legend".
Jackson's £15,000 coffin was then wheeled into the arena. It was made of solid bronze, plated with 14-karat gold and had a blue velevet interior.
It was placed in front of a stage decorated with extravagant floral tributes and a screen proclaiming: "In Loving memory of Michael Jackson, King of Pop 1958 - 2009".
RnB Diva Mariah Carey opened what can only be described as "The Show", it's only what MJ would have wanted Mariah gave an emotionally charged performance of the Jackson 5 Classic "I'll Be There" as she was joined on stage by Troy Lorenz.
Mariah finished the song by saying we'll miss you Michael.
Singer and movie star Queen Latifah took to the stage to deliver a speech saying "You believed in Michael, and he believed in you".
Legendary singer/songwriter and also longtime friend Lionel Richie took to the stage next and performed a commodores song "Jesus is Love" as images of Jackson played behind him.
every mourner that took to the stage were comforted and led of stage to love and warmth by the Jackson Family.
Some of the other speakers such as Pastor Lucious Smith with moving comments as
“Michael Jackson wanted nothing more than to give love to the world…and perhaps to be loved back in return,” he said.
"He raised the bar, and then broke the bar," says Berry Gordy, founder of Motown Records
Stevie Wonder then Took to the stage to rapturous applause from the 17,000 strong crowd inside the arena and before singing his ballad "never dreamed you'd leave in summer" which was unbelieveably apt for this memorial poignantly said,
"this is a moment that I didn’t think I'd live to see”. But he does know that God is good and that, much as his friends and family needed Jackson, “God must have needed him far more”.
Heavily pregnant Jennifer Hudson, RnB star Usher among others took to the stage and clearly struggled with their emotions especially Usher as he broke down in tears and had to be led away by the Jackson Sisters.
Jermaine appeared on stage complete with Michaels infamous Sequin white glove to sing a rendition of The charlie chaplin song "Smile" which was described by his brother as michaels Favourite ever song.
undoubtedly the surprise of the night was when 12 year old Shaheen Jarfagohli of Swansea, Wales took to the stage to say goodbye to the man he grew up idolising and performed a faultless rendition of Jackson 5 hit in 1969 "Who's Lovin You".
The youngster found fame on Britains got talent and finished 7th in the show, it was revealed that MJ watched clips of the lads performance and invited him to sing on stage with him at the 02 arena, sadly he never got that privelege so the Jackson Family invited him to perform at his hero's Memorial.
Not many people would have heard of Shaheen before last night but the young welsh singer is now on the lips of every american who witnessed the performance as he recieved a standing ovation by the crowd.
More tributes were pouring out for the Legend as his brother marlon choked back the tears Looking at the coffin "I stand here trying to find words of comfort... trying to find why the Lord has taken our brother after such a short time on earth."
My brother was unable to cross the street without being followed. "We will never understand what he endured ... being judged, ridiculed. How much pain can one take?
"Maybe now, Michael, they will leave you alone... you have finished your work here on earth, and the Lord has called for you to come home with him... I have one request, Michael, one request. I would like for your to give our brother, my twin brother, Brandon, a hug from me."
He then broke down in floods of tears was comforted by his family as his incredibly brave 11 year old daughter took to the microphone, Her voice breaking, she says: "I just want to say ever since I was born Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine, and I just want to say I love him so much," as her aunts and uncles gather around her.as her aunts Janet and La toya embrace her and lead her and the Remaining Jackson Family Off stage.
This was undoubtedly THE biggest funeral/Memorial Service seen Since Lady Diana was Killed in 1997.
