That Jedward (seen here subtly promoting their new panto Jedward and the Beanstalk...) have released their own currency, the 'Jedollar'... They announced on Twitter: "Ireland is ditching the € in favor of... the only currency that counts"... When asked if this was a long awaited social commentary from the twins, their spokesperson (presumably Liam off Six) said: "I doubt they've even heard anything about any crisis. I'd say they have launched the Jedollar in their heads and on Twitter"... That Will.I.Am believes, if he were still alive, that Michael Jackson would be working with Cheryl Cole: "I told him Cheryl was the hottest thing in the UK and could sing and dance - basically, she was the complete package. He would have worked with her, no doubt, and it would have been something special. They are both total perfectionists when it comes to their work so it would have been something really big. It's just a shame it can never happen now... There are still lots of great artists waiting to work with Cheryl when she gets over to the US - The Peas, Justin Bieber and Usher. But her and Michael would have created something that would make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up"... Indeed... That JLS are rleasing their own 3D movie... That the lady who plays Jane Beale in EastEnders is pregnant, which is bound to confound some viewers who believe she lost her womb at the hands of her husband's son... That, true to form, it was the female contestants that were first up for the chop on Dancing On Ice last night... Laura Hamilton (she's on Nickleodeon), Nadia Sawalha (who they're still referring to as an actress?) and Angela Rippon were all in the bottom three with the latter two getting the boot... Funnily enough, the show's two biggest liabilities - Kerry Katona and Vanilla Ice - both put in fairly impressive turns. Considering... That Frankie Boyle has had a go at fellow comedian Mark Watson, for, eh, having a go at him?... Mark had posted the following on the internet some time ago: "Pretty much since I became a comedian, I've wondered whether comedy awards itself too much licence by playing the hey-calm-down-we're-just-joking-here card, and thus making anyone who objects feel like... well, like a Daily Mail reader. I've seen scores and scores of gags at the expense of fat people, gay people, disabled people, women, pretty much every minority group other than 45-year-old, slightly paunchy stand-ups in suit jackets. A lot of them are just jokes, and everyone (including the victims) finds them funny, and it's cool. Or, the victims aren't there, so it's sort of cool. But all these jokes do contribute to keeping certain stereotypes nailed in place"... Although not mentioned by name, Boyle felt the need to respond: "Amused to be sent an attack on my work by Mark Watson. A sellout who takes money to advertise booze to his teenage fans. A c**t"... Better than a father who continuously jokes about paedophilia?... That actress Hailee Steinfeld said of and encounter with Lea Michelle: "When I was auditioning for True Grit, I was on the Paramount lot. Glee also films on the lot and I love the show... I saw Lea Michele just walking to her trailer and I was like, 'That's the girl from Glee. I've got to go ask for her autograph!' So I walked up to her and asked for her autograph, but she walked by and a guy came and said, 'Sorry, now's not a good time!' I was practically crying on the way home. I was so sad!"... That Lindsay Lohan has been seen having dinner with Samantha Ronson, her neighbour who she's not stalking: "Sources tell TMZ the pair met up last night to have dinner in West Hollywood. We're told the new neighbors have been 'getting along well' since LiLo moved in next door to SamRo - but for now they are "just friends". That Lindsay has also been seen enjoying dinner with Tom Hardy, who's giving her some pointers on staying sober, while she's also moved some girl or other into her new pad. (who else but) TMZ reports: "We're told LiLo's new roomie is a girl she met during her time at Betty Ford. According to our sources... the girl has been sober longer than Lindsay has (FYI - Lindsay celebrated four months of sobriety Friday). Sources close to Lindsay tell us she feels it's important to surround herself with other sober people. We're told she's helping the cash-strapped girl out ... letting her live rent-free. Seems Lindsay's first role post-rehab ... is that of a sugar mama"... That The Meteor Awards have been cancelled this year... That theFestival of World Cultures has also been cancelled this year...
