So, in yesterday's batch of highlights from Channel 4's rest home for the famous but confused, the producers injected a note of cruelty into proceedings by making people demonstrate the skills which made them famous-enough-for-celebrity-Bi g-Brother. Poor LaToya found herself singing along to one of her brother's songs and Mutya was invited to do a Sugababes song, rather than one of her solo efforts.

Terry Christian has been in court this week, somehow trying to argue that, despite having had a freelance contract to present on BBC Radio Manchester, when that contract expired and wasn't renewed that he was somehow treated unfairly.

(Perhaps someone should have tried that when he was doing The Word?) The judge has rejected his claims for unfair dismissal.
