Last year was super dull, apart from Greece, who  came as the Borg and sung what appeared to be a Gary Numan song.

I remember the Greek Borg. They were great.

And yet strangely rubbish.

Weird pop fact: As part of my murky past I used to hand the fan email for Katrina and The Waves, and I can confirm that Katrina had a vast Lesbian following.

I wish to point out that this was part of a job, which I was paid money for, and I'm not some weird Katrina-And-The_waves fan website owner or anything.

weird fact about Katrina and the waves' Eurovision entry - it was written by their guitarist, one Kimberley Rew, a bloke Robyn Hitchcock fired from his band in about 1981 for being "too heavy".

Russian lesbo-pop duo TATU are set to sing for their country at the EUROVISION SONG CONTEST on May 24.

Julia Volkova and Lena Katina will be performing a track called 'Ne Ver, Ne Bojsia', which means 'Do Not Be Afraid, Do Not Despair'.

Julia told today's (March 20) Sun newspaper that she is confident the duo can bring the Eurovision title to Russia for the first time.

She said: "No one should be scared of us but we're going to win Eurovision."

Lena added: "We wanted to do this because we are Russians, body and soul. We want to blast everything that's gone before with our sexy act."

British Eurovision hopes will rest on Liverpool duo Jemeni singing 'Cry Baby'

if tatu are going to ofer a live version of the kissing scene someone had better warn BT to get the phone lines ready.
 me thinks they could well have a large spike taking place after that scene.
every male on the planet voting for them.every one else calling to complain.
still should be great for the ratings.
terry wogan hosting? this i have got to see.

Not only that... Imageine Wogans reaction to it! I'm thinking simultaneous loathing and letching in a Richard Madley style, only to the power of ten. There's always the chance that he'll have a heart attack, or amidst his drunken haze start believing that hes actually back in his hotel room and masturbate live on air.

Given previous form (remember the icelandic S&M act of a few years back? The UK gave them twelve points, Wogan's reaction: "YES!") Wogan's going to be backing them all the way.

From Popbitch:

Richard and Judy publicly denounced Tatu on their TV show. Now Ivan Shapovalov, the man  behind Tatu, has replied:

Ivan says, "Being a psychiatrist, I have serious suspicions that the British Channel 4 presenter Richard Madeley tends to have paedophilia.

"A public discussion would make the situation  clear. As a result, it is possible that Richard Madeley could be cured, as well as the grown-up male population of the UK."

If i didn't know better I would say the veiled hand of Malcom Mclaren was behind this latest bit of explotation...

It was Johnny who said at the last Sex Pistols Gig 'Ever had the feeling you've been had?'

and said in that wonderful sneering voice.

Luke the Drifter ( get that reference!)

I like the way the news section reads like it was written in Russian, translated into something else using google, and then translated back through google into broken English. Class!
