Louis Walsh!’ Walsh, top record producer and The X Factor judge, now manages Shayne’s career. ' was talking to Simon Cowell (celebrity record producer) yesterday!” He shakes his head in amazement. And these people are telling me they're excited about working with me. I can’t get my head round it. 2 Shayne is about as natural as any pop star arriving in the public arena can be. ‘I just can't accept where | am now,’ he says sincerely. ‘It doesn’t feel real. To me, this is just a job.’ ‘What do you think being famous feels like?’ | ask him. ‘'m not sure, to be honest. Different from this?” he laughs, with only a hint of nerves. 3 Since winning The X Factor, Shayne's success has been phenomenal. His debut to reach the number one spot. On tour, he’s going to gle took just three days gets a chance.’ But the previous winner of The X Factor only had one hit. He hasn't been heard of since then. Is. Shayne Ward going to be another talent show flop? «36 Alot of people feel cynical about reality TV show winners and their chances of continuing success. Audiences usually lose interest in them as soon as the show has finished. In fact, contestants on shows like Big Brother are given severe warnings from the show's producers beforehand, basically telling them ‘you will not be liked’, Talent shows like The X Factor have to offer contestants a kind of stardom though, and something they can think of as a career, for a few months afterwards at least. s87 Later, | hear four songs that will appear on Shayne’s debut album.

Times were hard, but he has never wished for a different childhood. Although he thought about going to college, he ended up leaving school at sixteen, just to help his mum pay the rent. He set out on his reality show journey shortly afterwards. When he told his friends he had an audition for The X Factor, none of them really believed him. ‘| thought I'd go for it because my family wanted me to, but never really believed that I would win. 5 Naturally, Ward is a fan of reality TV talent shows. “They're brilliant, because people who want recording contracts try for years and get nowhere. Then these competitions come along and the people at home decide whether they like the singers or not.

Then she became a teenager from hell Expelled from school, she hung around the streets, getting into trouble. Sixteen-year-old Jemma was equally impossible. She'd do anything to get what she wanted, including shoplifting! And Joe, sixteen, was so badly-behaved he bullied his own mum! The teenagers were out of control and heading for disaster. But their parents had one last trick up their sleeves! As a last resort, they sent their kids off for three months’ behaviour therapy at Turn-about Ranch, in the wids of Utah, USA. With them went four other spoiled ‘brats’. Their time at the camp was filmed for the hit TV series Brat Camp, B The seven teenagers had a lot in ‘common. Ed, sixteen, was a liar and ‘a cheat and had stolen from his own brothers. Josh, fifteen, had a temper that frequently got him into trouble. Alex, fifteen, was violently aggressive. ‘And Jenni, sixteen, was rude and moody and determined to embarrass her parents in any way she could. The teenagers had got away with murder at home. But they were in for a shock! Waiting for them at the airpor in the USA was the boss of Turn-about. A tough ex-cop, he ruled the ranch with a rod of iron. Anyone trying to mess him about Would find themselves in deep trouble! Life got worse when the teenagers reached ‘Turn-about, an isolated cattle ranch. At the camp there Was neither electricity nor running water! Sitting outside their log cabin that first night, the teenagers were given, the rules of the camp. "You must get up at 6.30 a.m.,’ “You ‘must not swear’ “You must ask permission before doing, anything.’ Confused and homesick, the teenagers begged to go home. But it was a waste of time. The ranch was in the middle of nowhere and contact with parents and friends was forbidden, There was no escape! D Level one of the therapy began the next morning, It was designed to give the teenagers a nasty shock. And it certainly did! The kids were forced to spend three whole days sitting outdoors in small stone circles, in total silence. If any of them needed to leave the circle, they had to ask for permission, They couldn't even go to the toilet alone! If they were disrespectful to the staff, they were punished, and the rules got even stricter! c Summarise eS eer eon Pe Mee oe Sou tee] cee Seer Penna en pies Re es acura aad ec are Lae Brat Camp! ater eeaotwag E Alter three days the teenagers went on to the next level of the behaviour therapy. The staff at Turn-about Ranch are real-life cowboys, who believe hard work is the best therapy for rebellious teens. The teenagers were expected to take part in ranch activites, like rounding up cattle on horseback, harvesting ‘and mending fences. Work didn't stop, however hot and dusty or cold and snowy it' was. In fact, there was no free time at all Atnight the teenagers slept outdoors. They leamed to light fires and trap animals for food. They were given certain ‘goals, which meant working in a team. If they were disruptive, they had to stay at the ranch even longer. F As the weeks went by, the teenagers 5 ‘acauited a new outlook on life. Joe changed alot: in the cowboys, he found the strong male role models he'd lost when his parents divorced and his father left home. Turn-about changed Xanthe, too. Her mother had remarried when she was fifteen and she realised that envy of her new stepfather had caused her bad behaviour. Turn-about changed the other teenagers too, at least for now...

Don't even start! @ Most people have hang-ups about their body at some time. 1)... They often kid themselves they're too fat or too skinny, when they're a perfectly healthy weight. Boys tend to worry about spots and whether they are muscular enough. But why do we worry so much about how we look? © its the images we see in the media that are mostly to blame. 2)....Whether its a hunky actor in designer jeans and trendy jacket or a stunning model in an elegant dress, they're sending the same message: ‘if you look like me, your life will be perfect. ere gee cea today’s magazine covers with those of fifty years ago. 3)..... Not any more! Nowadays, blemishes are removed from photographs with the help of a technique called ‘airbrushing’. A photographer or designer can straighten teeth, zap spots, alter make-up or skin colour, and even change a hairstyle. That perfect face is just a trick of the camera afterall! @ The ‘perfect’ body shapes aren't natural, either. Go down to any gym and you'll find young men ‘pumping iron’ in an effort to live up to some masculine ideal that says that ‘real’ men should be strong and muscular. Body builders, desperate to increase the size of their muscles, often eat food with far more calories and protein than is natural, which is a danger to their health. 4) QO it's the same for the girls. We all know of celebrities who go on starvation diets so that they can wear ‘size zero" clothes. They end up ruining their health. The irony is, naturally curvy girls who diet until they're stick- thin actually end up looking awful. Ask boys! 5) Unfortunately, some girls are so obsessed with their weight they just don't realise! @ 5... These include pop singers like Mis-Teeq, Jamelia, and Rachel Stevens, ‘There's always pressure ‘on young girls because of the images they see in magazines,’ say Mis-Teeq, 'For us personally, we eat what we like and we don't diet. As long as you do everything in moderation and look after yourself, you'll be OK’ Jamelia believes it's up to the stars to try and change things. ‘I'ma singer and it’s my talent that’s important’ she says. ‘I want to look good on stage, of course, but 'm not sure people realise the amount of time and effort that goes into that.

Rachel Stevens doesn't want to be stick-thin, either There's always been this pressure to be skinny, but you've got artists now like J-Lo and Beyoncé who are really curvy and look absolutely stunning,’ she says, O50 come on boys and girls, take control of your life! We humans come in all shapes and sizes and there's no ‘correct’ way to look. Its what you say and do that really matters. 7)... They're not what they seem! Anyway, why waste your time trying to live up to somebody else's ideal? Being fit and healthy is far more important. Just believe in yourself!

In this film we are introduced to Anakin Skywalker, Jedi apprentice. In later films he becomes a hero of the Clone Wars, and he is drawn more and more towards the dark side of the Force. Finally, we see him transform into Darth Vader. ‘The effects in Tbe Phantom Menace are brilliant, with a great space battle at the beginning and several light-sabre fights, which are_done very convincingly. These effects mean the audience is taken into the Star Wars world, The music also adds to the atmosphere of the film. However, the acting is not always good. Ewan MacGregor is better than in some of the other films and the actor who plays Palpatine, lan McDiarmid, gives a good performance, but most of the other actors are just average.

So who exactly is he? or years, we've been turning pop singers, models and actors into celebrities. But celebrity chefs? Until recently, the idea would have been inconceivable. Now our screens are full of trendy, fast-talking super-chefs cooking up delicious recipes. Top of the celebrity list is Jamie Oliver. With his friendly and informal style, he's introduced us to a whole new type of cookery programme. In his latest series he ‘campaigned on his own to make the government ban the Use of junk food in school dinners. Before that, we saw him battling to turn fifteen teenagers into cooks. His cookbooks, meanwhile, have sold by the million, making ‘a mutti-millionaire. ‘© Jamie's passion for cooking started young. His dad ran a pub and he helped out in the kitchen. ‘Itjust seemed such .c0o! place — everyone working together to make this lovely stuff and having a laugh with everybody,’ he explains, The boys at his school tried to persuade him that ‘cooking was ‘a girlie thing’ but he disagreed. He could buy the coolest trainers in town with the money he earned in the kitchen! He left school at sixteen, not much good at ‘writing and spelling, but knowing the only thing he wanted wes to be a chef. © Jamie was working at a London restaurant when he got his big break. A TV producer, there to make a documentary, noticed the cheeky cook. He thought Jamie's casual manner and jokes would go down well with audiences and he ended Up giving him his own series, The Naked Chet. The series got its name from the recipes Jamie thought up, which were down-to-carth and uncomplicated. The programmes were extremely successful and Jamie was catapulted into the limelight. Viewers watched him speeding about London on a scooter with rock'n'roll music blaring, and hosting parties for al his friends. Jamie spent months travelling the world to promote the show, but after two phenomenal years his popularity decreased, © Iwas the fabulous new series, Jamie's Kitchen, that won the viewers back. After auditioning 15,00 jobless young people, Jamie picked fifteen winners who would be filmed learning to cook in his new London restaurant, Fifteen. Millions of viewers watched as Jamie tried to ‘teach his trainees, but it wasn’t easy. They bunked off work and were rude to the staff. They told Jamie sob stories and even accused him of using them to improve his own career. Nine teenagers survived the crash course. The TV show made Fifteen the most talked-about eating place in London and it soon became impossible to book a table there. Jamie now plans to repeat the idea elsewhere in the UK, and in Sydney and New York. © Jamie's latest challenge has taken the UK by storm. In Jamie's Schoo! Dinners he became a school dinner chet 's0 he could let kids see the junk ingredients that went into their favourite meals. To their horror, they discovered that the Turkey Twizzlers they enjoyed eating were not made from real turkey meat, as they had thought, but included a mixture of water, pork fat, turkey skin and food colouring! They also learned exactly why a diet of fast food makes you fat and unhealthy. The kids had never realised how much the food we eat affects our mood, looks, behaviour, health, growth and even our ability to concentrate! Jamie persuaded them to try nutritious foods like fruit, yoghurt and vegetables for lunch, instead of their usual fast-food diet of burgers, chips, sweets and fizzy drinks. To their ‘amazement, they discovered that fresh food tasted better than processed food. The series got everyone thinking, and the government has now promised to bring back practical cookery lessons for students to teach them the importance of a balanced diet, food safety and hygiene.
