I hope you’ve been following our coverage of Let’s Dance For Comic Relief tonight! The results were a bit of a shocker though – the first act guaranteed a place in the live final was Charlie Baker and John Thornton, whose tap dance routine we thought was a bit old fashioned. Seems Britain did not agree!
The battle for second place was between Lulu’s brilliant Soulja Boy dance and Noel Fielding’s stellar Kate Bush impersonation. And as much as we loved Lulu’s routine, it was only right that Noel Fielding followed Baker and Thornton through to the final.
Although it wasn’t a dead cert that Fielding would survive – the judging panel got split quite quickly. Lee Mack chose Noel while Jack Whitehall voted to save Lulu (though we suspect that he was trying to avoid making the casting vote in favour of Fielding!) This left...

The BBC must’ve burst their Photoshopping budget when they had Penny Smith‘s face superimposed on Britney Spears’ body in some of her most famous costumes. Yes, Penny’s pretending that she was Britney’s body double throughout her career.
Anyhoo…. *deep breath*
Penny hits the stage in a blue Pvc airline hostess costume. Sadly the routine (and the costume) fails to excite on any level. Penny stares her way through the performance and her movements are incredibly wooden. Not that she was one of the frontrunners to begin with though.
Lee Mack: “I genuinely think we might’ve found the winner. I’m happy to go to the bar now. When Penny came on, I didn’t think her skirt could be more revealing, and then I found out it could when they picked her up. Great start to the show, and also a brilliant wink at the end,...

Penny Smith is reportedly being eyed up by the BBC. The former 'GMTV' presenter - who recently quit the breakfast show after 17 years on the sofa - is said to be the host of choice for BBC bosses if current 'The One Show' star Christine Bleakley, 31, leaves to join former co-presenter Adrian Chiles at ITV.

Back when Rob Kristen Taylor and Chris were flying around the world promoting New Moon last November they were in London for one of their press stops. While in London the cast did a ton of interviews for the London press. Below we have an interview with Rob Pattinson by GMTVs Penny Smith where Rob talked about a variety of things including New Moon and the stunts press attention vampires his acting career and quotes hes said in the past.Thanks Rebecca!I think this was a great interview with Rob. It seemed somehow more personal than other interviews weve seen. Poor Rob probably cant even go home now without being shaded by the paparazzi now though.What did you think of this interview with Rob? Did it seem more personal to you?...
