Michael McIntyre who joined the Britain’s Got Talent judging panel as replacement for Mr Nasty himself Simom Cowell, has been criticised for upsetting a nine year old contestant in auditions in Birmingham.
Schoolboy David Knight arrived on stage dressed in a suit and announced that he was entering the competition because he had won a similar local competition.
“After that everyone was nagging me to go on Britain’s Got Talent. In the end I thought for goodness sake . I will go on.”
It was then that stand up comedian Michael McIntyre asked the boy who his favourite comedian was, adding that he should not be influenced by the fact that he was judging.
The boy replied Harry Hill and McIntyre jokingly hit his red button to end the audition, at which point the youngster welled up and looked ready to run off stage.
It took some encouragement from McIntyre and his fellow judges Amanda Holden and David Hasseloff to get the boy to pull himself together, but eventually he carried on with his comedy routine.
It makes you wonder if it is right to include children of such a young age in a talent show, but to be fair it is something that has been going on for years on British TV.
The iconic supermodel Kate Moss shows just why she is still at the top of her game and in such constant demand at 37 years old with a stunning video based on a fashion shoot by Nick Knight for Italian Vogue in December 2010.
It represents a new project for Knight called Editing Kate, and involves an invited selection of contemporary video editors ‘remixing’ the original fashion shoot into a video representing their own artistic preferences.
The first edition gets the ‘remix’ treatment from Paris based film maker Jamie Harley. He has effectively turned the shoot in a music video accompanied by the soundtrack of LA’s Evan Voytas’s track Tomorrow Night We’ll Go Anywhere.
Further artistic impressions of the shoot are set to be released during the early part of 2011 and if the first is anything to judge by the bar is already set high.

Katie Price and Alex Reid are expected to announce what the Sun newspaper claims to have known ‘for months’, when the couple release a statement that will let everyone know that their marriage is finally over.
The Sun claims that the chemistry went missing as soon as the couple were out of the spotlight and suggests that Reid will be more hurt than Price as the former model was the fighters ‘meal ticket, and he knows it.’
The couple were married in private but decided to cash in with a much more public ceremony which was broadcast on their ITV2 reality show Katie & Alex: For Better For Worse.
Keen to increase her family, Katie has recently resorted to IVF treatment in a bid to concieve, leading to speculation that Alex has a problem in that department, something the pair were quick to play down.
X Factor singer Cher Lloyd has been seen teetering around Miami on six inch heeled Red or Dead boots, skin tight jeans and sporting a radical new hairdo in a bid to look the star that she so longs to be.
Still only seventeen years old the singer is in America to team up with producer RedOne who has been credited with helping Lady GaGa on her way to success as well as his work with previous X Factor contestant Alexandra Burke.
While she has been away from the UK however her boyfriend Karim Roundi has allegedley been sleeping with another woman, according to the gospel of daily newspaper The Sun.
Roundi is said to have bedded waitress Katie Cross just five days after starting his relationship with Cher.
Despite being the Girl Band – Boy Band Prince and Princess, The SaturdaysRochelle Wiseman and JLS’s Marvin Humes have gone their separate ways.
It’s not good for the cynics of the world, who after hearing that each of the poptastic beauties had declared each other ‘THE ONE’, might have believed that true love truly does exist.
But no, each of their exhausting and demanding work schedules – plugging singles and albums up and down the country towards Christmas perhaps – has finally taken its toll, and true love has not gone the distance, this time.
As ever, relationships never end simply, and the pair who lived together, are rumoured to still be sharing living space. Those heady work schedules have meant that such prosaic and domestic arrangements have yet to be made.
The love affair went a full eight months, which, in this modern day isn’t too far off a fairy tale romance. Rochelle, 21, and Marvin found each other at the age or 21 and 25 respectively in an industry that pushed them together.
Sad then, that it is the same industry that has pulled them apart. One hopes that two may meet again.
On another note, JLS’s new single, ‘Outta this world’, is out on November 22nd. But that’s neither here nor there.
