    Twitter hails dummy – but Noel Edmonds deserves fare dues | Media Monkey

    TV veteran Noel Edmonds might be used to be being in the spotlight, but he looks set to be outshone by a new rising star: his store mannequin. The Deal or No Deal presenter drives around London with a mannequin in the back seat of his black cab, as you do, to stop people flagging him down. The Daily Star reports that Candice, who is dressed by Noel’s wife Liz, has now become something of a celebrity in her own right. The shop dummy has 18,000 Twitter followers and has received offers from fashion houses, record labels and retail outlets.

    ‘Doctor Who’ season finale recap: An Open Wound

    FIELDS OF TRENZALORE The long-whispered resting place of the Doctor is the centerpiece for the seventh season finale, which causes all manner of criss-crossing timestream chaos. It was always going to be a weird season of Doctor Who. Longtime companions were leaving and a new companion was coming in. Showrunner Steven Moffat had turned seasons 5 and 6 of Who into interlocking mythologies, with episodes doubling as puzzle pieces. The larger picture kept changing, but not Moffat’s plan to piece them all together.

    Letters: Women on TV

    ‘American Idol’ recap: Kreedom and the Candy Girl

    BABY YOU’RE A FIREWORK “Come on, Candice, lemme simulate tomorrow’s confetti shower.” –crafty Idol producers Kree Harrison and Candice Glover sang their hearts — and guts! — out during Wednesday’s hour-long performance finale in three rounds: Simon Fuller’s Pick, Coronation Single, and Repeat of a Favorite Performance. Candice, who certainly Has Something if you catch my drift, completed things out with a raging showstopper. Aw, Kree. I state that 1) because I cannot believe I’m going to have to stop typing such a fun nonsense word — “Kree” — so often after tonight, and 2) because WHY WOULD SHE CHOOSE ...
