That The Inbetweeners are going stateside: "MTV America, who have bought the rights, have decided to keep the four main characters, Will, Simon, Jay and Neil... TV chiefs are looking for 18-year-olds to play the main characters (as opposed to actors in their mid-20s here), and they want 'all ethnicities'. A document has gone out to casting agencies to: 'Please submit actors who are 18. All must be able to play high school seniors.' Will's character is described as 'smart, confident, well-read, quick-witted and outspoken (think John Cusack in Say Anything)'"... Not Simon Bird ripping the mick out of an "Empire State sized" girl who gives blowers for attention... Yep, the American's will be able to handle that... That Paris Hilton's boyfriend has such a horn for drama that he ran over a female pap's leg and then drove off... That Michael Lohan, when he's not trying to gain conservatorship over Lindsay's assets (assuming there are any), he's dragging his youngest son into the columns: "Being that Dina has been gagged due to her constant lies to the press, media, public, courts and people in general, she is using a normally quiet and innocent person as her mouthpiece. First, to spread her BS, and second as her new pawn... While my wonderful son studied as a straight - A business major in college - and I got him offers from two Wall Street firms (?!) - Dina now has been pitching a movie she is 'producing' with Michael Jr. as the starring role. Michael is the best person Dina has in her corner and she is even using him. Her own son! And it goes deeper! How sick is this?"... Someone hand him a mirror... That, of Louis's "over 28s" X Factor group, Sharon Osbourne said: "They looked like a bunch of old pirates - it was quite shocking. But you can't take people at face value. There were some very talented people in the group, as well as a couple of real crazies"... Of empathising with contestant Mary Byrne, she added: "Look at me. I was a fat girl. I got everything done and it changed my life, and now I'm confident in going forward"... Cause it's just that easy... That you can see photos of Cheryl signing copies of her picture book in Caught Out... That Sir Paul McCartney took the time to write to George Michael in prison: "He got the letter on Monday and was really chuffed. Sir Paul said he would see him soon and told George to keep his chin up. The letter was two pages long and George read it over and over again"... That the Stig, AKA Ben Collins, is joining the waste ground for motor show presenters - Channel 5's Fifth Gear: "'Ben - who is not allowed to wear his trademark Stig white suit and white helmet - said of his new role: 'I'm delighted to be joining the Fifth Gear team. And I'm looking forward to a new set of exciting challenges... apparently with and without the helmet.' As well as taking part in Stig-like challenges, he will also be co-presenting alongside hosts Tiff Needell and Jason Plato"... That "someone who looks suspiciously like Fionn Regan just strolled into a waiting room wielding a glass of vino while sporting the Wayfarers/extra skinny black jeans/periwinkle shoes uniform, declaring 'Does anyone have a cigarette for me? Ah come on!' (there's several shops around the corner, twunt) He then proceeded to bar a few lines of a song on his phone just in case we were ignorant to his worldwide fame"... Said text came courtesy of Lenny (his latest blog sees him tackling Joaquin Phoenix's beardy brain), who's currently waiting to interview Howard Marks and Rhys Ifans in The Clarence Hotel... That the British Digital Music Awards took place last night... The winners aren't important... Nargh, right so: Best Song - Cheryl Cole 'Fight For This Love' // Artist of the Year - Gorillaz // Best Male artist - Robbie Williams // Best Female - Cheryl Cole // Breakthrough Artist - Professor Green // Best Newcomer - Tinie Tempah // Best Independent Artist - Dizzee Rascal // Best International Artist - Lady Gaga // Best Blog - Music Fix // Best Official Site - Muse // Best Fan Site - Muselive.com // Best Artist Promotion - Gorillaz // Best Event - Nokia presents Rihanna Live // Best Place to Discover Music - BBC Introducing // Best Radio Show or Podcast - Buxton's Big Mixtape show and podcast...
