Ricky Gervais blasted over 'mong' gags (VOTE)

Filed under:

PA

Ricky Gervais has been taken to task by some of his fellow stand-up comedians over his repeated use of the word "mong" on Twitter.

And the star of The Office has responded in the manner of his most famous creation, David Brent, by telling his critics that - actually - they're wrong because the meaning of the word has changed.
He didn't say "FACT" though, thankfully.

Ricky argued that the word may once have been used as an insult against those with Down's Syndrome, but is now less offensive.

He said: "Just to clarify for uptight people stuck in the past. The word mong means Down's Syndrome about as much as the word gay means happy. I never use the word mong to mean anything to do with Downs Syndrome."

But comedian Richard Herring wasn't buying that and gave Ricky a pasting on his blog.

He said: "Ricky Gervais is new to Twitter and seems to have spent the first couple of weeks mainly posting pictures of himself pulling the kind of faces that school children pull to parody the disabled and calling people 'mongs'.

"I think many comics are guilty of using [the word "mong"] as convenient and humourless punchlines. I don't think any of them would do the same with the word 'n***er' or 'p**i' but they're happy to use 'mong' or 'retard' as a means of getting a laugh. And audiences will laugh at those words too and rarely even complain about them.

"If the words are upsetting some people and perpetuating a stereotype, isn't it more noble and thoughtful to just admit you might have made a mistake and stop?"

And a couple of other stand-ups that you've probably not heard of also criticised Ricky, who nevertheless remained defiant and even suggested that there was a bit of sour grapes going on.

He said: "Dear fans. Don't give the haters any attention. Those people aren't really offended by the things I say - they are offended by my success."

Is the word 'mong' offensive?

Sex, violence, product placement... it's the new Britney video! (VIDEO)

When those snaps of Britney running around the mean streets of Stoke Newington with a gun surfaced last month you'd be forgiven for thinking she'd had another meltdown, so it was a relief to discover it was all in the name of art. Well, the video for her new single Criminal to be precise.
Now the London-shot video has appeared online and it features a whole lot more than just Britney charging around with a revolver. Like bad acting. Really bad acting.

There's also some of the most unsubtle product placement this side of American Idol. Why take one bottle of Britney's perfume into the bathroom when you can take two ?

Oh, and if you've been holding out for a glimpse into her and current squeeze Jason Trawick's bedroom antics - you're in luck (perv) because the pair of them get it on in one scene. Let's hope those tattoos aren't real, eh?

Take a peek at the Bonnie and Clyde-inspired vid below...

Helen Flanagan 'sets sights on becoming WAG'

PA

Watch out Posh, Coleen and C-Bleakley, there's a new threat to your WAG crowns in the shape of Corrie actress Helen Flanagan.

The 21-year-old, who announced at the weekend that she is leaving the ITV1 soap, is apparently keen to settle down with Premier League soccer player BF Scott Sinclair - and wedding bells might not be too far off.
Helen, who gained a whole new army of (mainly male) fans after tweeting a picture of her awesome cleavage last week, is reported to be ready to move to Wales to be with Swansea City winger Scott.

The Mirror quoted a workmate of Helen's as saying: "Helen and Scott have been going from strength to strength but the distance between them while she works on Coronation Street has put a bit of strain on them.

"She's desperate to be closer to him and plans to move into his house when she finishes. And she's made no secret of her plans to get engaged."

Helen denied that she was leaving the soap because of her recent panic attacks, but said it was because she felt it was time for a change after spending 12 years playing Rosie Webster.

She said: "I have played Rosie for more than half my life and I feel the time has come for me to move on and try something new."

Like shopping perhaps?

What do you reckon? Will Helen make a good WAG? Comment below...

Kitty 'voted for herself 126 times'

Love her or hate her, you have to admit this year's X Factor would be a duller place without Kitty Brucknell.

And it seems that is a statement she definitely agrees with after she voted for herself 126 times in order to stay in the competition. Hang on, we thought she was threatening to quit 'cos she was being bullied?!
Anyway, it appears she has gotten over that now as she racked up a phone bill of over £50 after she frantically re-dialed her own voting number over the weekend.

Despite the judges praising her Alice in Wonderland inspired performance of Bjork's It's Oh So Quiet, Kitty still feared she'd get the boot from the public.

A source told The Sun: "Kitty was so convinced that she was going to get the shove on Sunday that she just started dialing her own number.

"It was a bit daft really - as you need thousands of votes to make a difference. But you can't blame her for trying.

"She is so desperate to stay in the show and, in fairness to her, the show kind of needs it."

Given the number of votes cast has reportedly plummeted this series, perhaps those 126 votes did make a difference after all...

Which was your favourite X Factor performance from Saturday's show?

Katy Perry steps out with Russell's mum (and her wedding ring)

When Katy Perry appeared sans wedding ring on The X Factor on Sunday, we feared the worst.

Considering the reports floating around last week that the couple barely see each other anymore because of their conflicting schedules, we were worried that it was the final nail in the coffin of the Perry-Brand union.

But the singer was pictured with her ring firmly back where it belongs as she stepped out with Russell's mum Barbara last night.

Katy has often spoken about how well she gets on with her mother-in-law, and the fact that Katy is looking after her while Russ is out of town by taking her on a girly night out, makes us love her even more.
The pair stepped out to enjoy a night at the theatre, watching Ghost in London's West End.

Katy is over in the UK as part of her California Dreams Tour, which stopped off at London's O2 Arena on Friday and Saturday and is heading for Cardiff, Belfast, Birmingham, Newcastle and Aberdeen in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile her hubby is back in LA, and was spotted messing about with a friend's baby - is someone getting broody Mr Brand?

He'd just returned from a gig in Canada after previously being refused entry into the country earlier this month because of visa issues created from his naughty past.

On Saturday he tweeted: "Eventually we got into Canada, and it was beautiful."

Just don't be a stranger over here Russ - we miss you!

Katie Price: 'I've ruined my body but want to age naturally'

Yes people, you read that headline correctly. Jordan has announced - after years of cosmetic procedures - that she wants to age 'naturally'.

And the reason? Well, it's because she thinks 'people look stupid with a facelift'. Yes, really.
In the very same interview with Heat magazine, she also revealed that she only has one mirror in her entire house - in the bathroom. She really should get that light fixed.

Despite Katie's claims, she then went on to give us the skinny on what she does to maintain her 'look'.

Heat magazineHeat Magazine

This includes three or four sunbeds a week ('I cane my body like it's leather. I don't even use the goggles'), Botox every four months ('It isn't a big deal for me, it's like going shopping') and £6K on a fresh head of extensions every three months ('because I want them to look good all the time').

Yeah, really natural.

She also admitted that she can't remember how many boob jobs she's had done, revealed that her 'painful' veneers have fallen out whilst eating a burger before and reckons she isn't sexy at all.

Well, to be fair, I doubt even Kelly Brook could pull off 'sexy' with a missing tooth and a Big Mac in her gob.

The full interview appears in this week's heat magazine, on sale now.

Emma Watson starts studies at Oxford

She's more accustomed to potion lessons than undergrad lectures, but Emma Watson has now started her studies at Oxford University.

The actress, who earned £10 million for her role in the Harry Potter films, is on an exchange programme from her course at Brown University in the States.She told fans she'll be quiet for a while with her head in her university books.

"Have a great term and good luck with all your work," she wrote on her blog. "You might not hear from me for a while because I will be really busy studying, but I wanted to just say hi and goodbye."

It was previously reported Emma had a hard time whilst studying at Brown as students used to shout "10 points for Gryffindor!" when she would answer a question in lectures.

She then had a gap year after her first year there to allow her to promote the final HP film, and is now doing a year at Oxford.

She has said she will return to Brown to finish her final year of study though.

But when you've got as much cash as Emma has, it is really worth bothering going to university? Unless she just wants the experience of getting wasted and slobbing about in her pants watching Loose Women everyday, and who could blame her for that?

If you were Emma, would you go to university or would you carry on making films? Leave a comment below.
