That's it! Finito! Goodbye! Yes, we've come to the end of the Britain's Got Talent auditions - and what a ride it has been. We've had all sorts... but, of course, there were just a final few auditions to be had. And, in true Bgt tradition, the standard of acts on offer was somewhat... variable. Read on as we round-up the good, the bad and the bizarre one final time...
The Good...
Ellis James Chick: 12-year-old Ellis is basically the dictionary definition of 'cute as a button', but sadly, that on its own is not a talent. Luckily, Ellis also likes to sing - and dance ("I'm always jigging around.") He wasn't nervous ("hashtag Yolo!") and in the end, his performance of 'You Make Me Feel So Young' was surprising - his voice sounded much older than he was, in a good way. Very smooth. Simon did have some criticism...

Ellis Chick surprises the judges on this week's Britain's Got Talent.
The 12-year-old singer takes on Michael Bublé's 'You Make Me Feel so Young' at his audition, impressing Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden with his stage presence. However, Simon Cowell looks slightly unsure. Will Chick make it through to the next round?
Next up, singing duo Kieran & Sarah cause a disagreement between Cowell and David Walliams, when the former tries to bring their audition to a stop.
As Walliams wrestles with Cowell, he allows the pair to continue with their audition, but will it be enough to see them through?
Finally, Ant takes his place on the judging panel in Cowell's absence, just in time to watch 33-year-old Steve Barker perform a rendition of the Black Eyed Peas track 'The Time (Dirty Bit)'.
Dressed in army uniform, Barker reveals that he wants to be the "male version of...

It looks like every actor, with merit, decided to do a very inappropriate, raunchy movie with Peter Farrelly. Below we have the red band trailer for Movie 43, starring everyone.
Movie 43 is a compilation of short segments, directed by different people, with a bunch of Oscar and non-Oscar winners doing and saying crazy stuff like, “Will you poop on my face?”
Probably one of the most shocking names to appear in this movie are those of Kate Winslet and Hugh Jackman, who star in a short segment revolving around a blind date.
Movie 43 is something like Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve, except it’s more like Jimmy Kimmel’s Celebrity Packed Fake Trailer (Google it if you haven’t seen it).
Brett Ratner, Elizabeth Banks, Mike Judge, Bob Odenkirk, Steve Barker and Damon Escot are among the many that directed these segments.

You think you know cheap? Meet Victoria Hunt, 51, of Columbus, Ohio. She is so cheap that she urinates in a bottle and then empties it in her garden, a move she estimates shaves a couple dollars off her monthly water bill.
"I am also an avid gardner and I read that urine is a component [for a compost]," said Hunt, who is featured in the upcoming TLC series "Extreme Cheapskates."
But Hunt isn't cheap because she's poor. In fact, Hunt is self-made millionaire who owns several houses and has stock and other investments. She retired from her career as an accountant at age 48, and now her primary income comes from her rental properties. Still, she lives on just $12,000 per year, including bills, groceries and even health insurance.
It wasn't always this way; 25 years ago Hunt was a single mother living in a trailer park and receiving government assistance.

A German-language trailer has hit the web which even though reveals new footage from the flick sadly doesn't include any English subtitles thus making it difficult to fathom exactly whats going on. Barker co-scripts again alongside Rae Brunton who is also penning the third announced installment in the horror franchise 'Outpost: Rise of the Spetsnaz' set for release next year. Catherine Steadman ('The Tudors'), Richard Coyle ('Grabbers'), Ali Craig, Nick Nevern, Daniel Caltagirone, Gary McDonald and Domenic Pontone.

- Lots of glossy business cards will be exchanged during the 4th edition of International Financing Forum (Iff) (which takes place during Tiff). In what I imagine is like a speed dating between producers looking for coin and those looking to finance the next hot film project. There are a slew of names/projects from established filmmakers (Hany Abu-Assad, Terrence Davies and Kevin Macdonald) and some first-time directors among the 43 listed below that have caught over attention. Hany Abu-Assad is taking on what I imagine would be a controversial biopic - attaching himself to Arafat with his Paradise Now producer, Roman Paul. Paul produced Waltz with Bashir, and the upcoming (we'll be talking about this one in 2010), Womb. I'd be surprised if Tony Grisoni took a day off in the past 24 months, he has penned a truck load of projects and would embark on his feature filmmaking debut with Kingsland.
