Russ Abbot, Bullseye, Noel Edmonds and a film we all watched in the same room. Christmas TV was more exciting in the 80s...
Cast your mind back to when Christmas Day wasn't about Doctor Who followed by sticking something on Netflix until it was time to go watch the annual fist fight outside the pub.

In the 80s, Christmas was about seeing which fantastic fare the TV had decided to bless us with. Of course, the more prepared among us knew this well in advance, having eagerly pored over the Radio Times/TV Times to check that Jimmy Cricket's Family Laugh 'n' Waz would be shown. There it was – right after Reflections On The Eucharist With The Reverend Paul Leyland.

Oklahoma City — Oklahoma's governor has taken The Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize??" out of rotation, pulling the tune as the state's official rock song in a move her office says has more to do with priorities than musical taste.
Republican Mary Fallin passed on renewing an executive order that gave the Oklahoma rockers' song the designation when taking office in January 2011, the governor's office confirmed Friday. Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz said the governor had other more pressing priorities.
"When the governor was elected to office, we had a $500 million budget shortfall, we were in the middle of a recession, and we had a huge number of pardon and parole cases left over from the (former Gov. Brad) Henry administration," Weintz said. "As we were clearing our backlog, renewing executive orders and pursuing our priorities, addressing the state rock `n' roll song did not make the cut."

Just when you thought Lady GaGa could not possibly beat her last crazy outfit she nudges the fashion bar that little bit higher/lower. Last night she appeared on stage in Tokyo in an a revealing outfit crafted from what looked like lace and talcum powder. You can see the extraordinary pictures here. With her brassy blonde hair back combed high above her head and a tablecloth tucked into her neck, the Telephone star was carried round the stage by semi-naked dancers covered in talcum powder. As she writhed to her music, the dancers groped her backside. But wait, it was political! Last night's event was in honor of the AIDs charity she fronts called the Mac Viva Glam Campaign, which was set up by the cosmetics company in 1994 to support men, women and children around the world who are living with and...

She’s always up to something, and earlier today (April 20) Lady GaGa was hard at work, performing at the Mac Viva Glam campaign.
The “Paparazzi” songstress looked super sexy as she was carried around the stage by some ‘grabby’ guys at the Tabloid club in Tokyo, Japan.
And coming up next month, GaGa will be returning to the “American Idol” stage for a special performance of her hit “Telephone.”
She tweeted, “See you on ‘American Idol’ May 5th, Little Monsters.” Sounds like a Cinco de Mayo party for sure!

From the woman whose latest music video is deemed too sexual, Lady Gaga proudly admits she's celibate. The "Telephone" star is urging her fans to follow her lead and abstain from sex.
The 24-year-old singer was in London with pop icon Cyndi Lauper to promote Mac cosmetic's Viva Glam campaign, which supports global HIV and AIDS projects.
And despite the fact she admitted that her shoes and lace tights, her costume of the day with a black lace bodysuit, came from a sex shop, Lady Gaga said sex is far from her mind, encouraging her fans to shun it out as well.
She told U.K.'s The Daily Mail, "I can't believe I'm saying this - don't have sex. I'm single right now and I've chosen to be single because I don't have the time to get to know anybody. So it's Ok not to have sex, it's Ok to get to know people.
