Variety? Are you sure?
Mon, 16/11/2009 - 10:11 by Mr. HM

Whilst we were all stuck at home watching Jamie Afro get the boot and Sam Fox's spider legs in the jungle, scores of brave celebrities battled the elements to go to the Variety Club Awards in London.

Now because the Variety Club is a charity and a very good, noble one at that, it's impossible to take the piss really.

But the cynic in me can't help but think that most of the celebs that arrived did so ONLY because they had been promised an award. Let's look at the evidence:

  • Justin Lee Collins - TV presenter of the year.
  • Spandau Ballet - Outstanding Contribution to music.
  • Pixie Lott - Breakthrough artist

I mean really?

In other pictorial evidence we saw some of the poor unfortunate souls the charity helps, hair that cannot be used in conjuction with a nylon carpet, a smile with such passive aggression it can fell trees, lipstick on teeth and erm, well, erm. Oh goodness.

  • That is as succinct a description as it gets. On the button, mate

  • And I see the bitterness has finally found its way into Gary Kemp's face.

  • Angela Griffin looks as if she's on steroids and what's with the hair?

  • These people came out to be noticed. How many of them have pulled their pocket to support a cause? The first thing they do when they get the invite is to ask: "Who else will be coming?" If there's no-one worthy, they'll stay their arses at home. If there's a name, they'll drag their backsides out. And they'll be the first to grab the goodie bag and photo op. They're leeches.

  • Someone must have opened a fucking envelope for most of these Z listers to have turned up - it always makes me smile and think of Smashie and Nicey when these self-promoting twats gush about charidee...

    "Yeah, mate, I do a lot for charidee,... but I don't like to talk about it..."

  • Oh no, Patrick Stewart looks so old. I'm really upset now. Bet he wishes he could age as well as McKellen.

  • Alesha Dixon is hotter than the sun.

    Anyone who goes near any of the Saturdays without at least 3 condoms is committing suicide.

    Justin Lee Collins winning an award is clearly a postmodern joke.

  • As perspicacious as ever ever, Tesco. It's as if the official photographer was using a reality lens for once. Loving the toupe on Faryl in pic 18.

  • Thank you. I miss Footballers' Wives. It was a real eye-opener for my 15-year-old self.

    I would actually watch ITV if they repeated it.

  • Why does everyone look so shit? And is the passive agressive smiley woman Tanya from Footballers' Wives?
