Bingo Hideout reveals Go Go hamster toy, 2009 Christmas must have
- 22 Nov 09
As Christmas is just around the corner we thought Bingo Hideout readers might be interested to learn that a Go Go hamster is the top toy for 2009, they are the must have Christmas toy as requested by children visiting Santa up and down the country. If you haven’t already managed to sneak a peak at the letter for Father Christmas then we can tell you now if you have a child between the ages of 4 and 10 then a Go Go hamster is likely to be at the top of the list. This year like all previous Christmases there are problems with sourcing this toy as parents stampede shops trying to ensure a smiley child on Christmas morning.
Bingo Hideout girls love Gino ‘I’m a Celebrity’ ex-burglar
- 21 Nov 09
The girls in the Bingo Hideout Buzz office were really surprised to see that our favourite and also the bookies favourite to win the I’m a Celebrity show Gino D’Acampo, is in fact a fully fledged bad boy. Not that the Bingo Hideout girls are that adverse to bad boys, in fact the writer regularly attracts them! Gino who now appears to be a reformed character was a bit of a bad lot in his younger days and in fact was once jailed for two years for burglary - and not just any burglary either, Gino actually managed to steal guitars and a platinum disc from the eighties heartthrob Paul Young (younger readers can see Mr Young singing in the old 80’s charity song ‘Do they know it’s Christmas’).
Bingo Hideout asks, is the UK really the ugliest nation?
- 18 Nov 09
Bingo Hideout’s The Buzz are shocked and appalled that UK citizens have been described as the ugliest people in the world by a Danish dating website called Beautifulpeople.com. The reason that the people behind the site have described the whole of the British nation as being ugly is because only really good looking people can remain listed on their dating site. Other members vote on whether new applicants are attractive enough to remain on the site, and unfortunately the number of Brits being voted off, the laughingly described ‘Elite dating agency’ is far higher than any other of the other nation’s applicants. The most successful at remaining on the site are Swedish men with 65% acceptance and Norwegian women with 76%.
New X Factor fix row – read The Buzz at Bingo Hideout
- 17 Nov 09
The gang at Bingo Hideout’s The Buzz are not surprised at all to read news that there are fresh accusations of a Jedward fix, after all headlines for the X Factor have been a little quieter of late what with the I’m a Celebrity show kicking off. The latest row is in relation to last weeks performance where the twins John and Edward performed the Queen song ‘Under Pressure’, an insider has said that the Jedward boys had their mic’s turned so low that their voices were hardly heard, and a track recorded by backing singers was played simultaneously giving the impression that the boys were singing far better than they actually were. This extra bit of technical assistance was given allegedly under the orders of the show bosses – which I think you will find is where Mr Cowell steps into the frame!
Katie Price to win Mother of the Year? – read Bingo Hideout
- 16 Nov 09
The team at Bingo Hideout are big fans of I’m a Celebrity and so have been very interested in the news stories relating to Katie Price AKA Jordan. The decision by Ms Price to enter the I’m a Celebrity contest for a second time has triggered many news articles - which is clearly her reasoning for going. Ms Price however need not think that she will be in the running for ‘mother of the year’ award with all the news circulating, and most certainly not after it has been reported in a tabloid ‘news’ article that she believes her little 2 year old daughter Princess, ‘looks like a troll’ when she has her hair straightened - one wonders why a parent would be using scalding straighteners to style a 2 year olds hair. That aside the fact remains that Price is prepared to leave her children for a month to appear in the latest I’m a celebrity …. get me out of here series, at a time when her three small children need their mother more than ever.
Bingo Hideout reveals I’m a Celebrity Ex Factor battle?
- 16 Nov 09
Bingo Hideout’s The Buzz believes with all the song and dance about the X Factor that we shouldn’t forget about the very dramatic ’ Ex’ factor I'm a Celebrity battle that is also being waged at the moment between Peter Andre and Katie Price - or Jordan as she is more commonly known (and the common bit is pretty fitting). Sporting more press column inches this weekend than the X Factor, the news that Peter Andre has decided to quit his TV reporting job in which he was to cover the ’I’m a Celebrity… Get me out of here!’ television programme, just as Ex wife Price has been revealed as one of the celebrities going into the jungle this year, has come as a blow to TV bosses.
Bingo Hideout’s The Buzz hears of J-Lo sex tape battle
- 13 Nov 09
Bingo Hideout has heard that J-Lo has had a restraining order slapped on ex-husband Ojani Noa for a suspected sex tape, and as all the gang in the Bingo Hideout office are big fans of Jenny from the block we just had to do some newshound digging about. From US news sources it appears that it was Ms Lopez’s belief that Noa was about to release a film showing the actress in compromising situations which some are saying includes ‘sexual situations’. The so-called J Lo sex tape had allegedly been filmed during the 11 month marriage to Noa, and reportedly contains home video footage of the actress and singer during their honeymoon. The pair had entered into a contract before their wedding in 1997 which prohibited Noa from selling images or from disclosing details of their lives together in a confidentiality clause, the actress is now suing Noa for $10m for breaching this agreement.
Warning: Don't watch X Factor without this!
- 12 Nov 09
Talk of Jedward and the X Factor in general has reached fever pitch this week, it is practically all we have talked about at Bingo Hideout HQ! Plus you've all made your feelings clear in the comments on our article!
We thought it would be funny if we created our very own X Factor Bingo card so we could play along when we watch this weekend (for those of us that are still watching, we know some of you are planning a boycot!).
Bingo Hideout’s Buzz on the continuing X Factor saga
- 11 Nov 09
Bingo Hideout are great fans of the X Factor and are sad to report the saga continues with disgust for Simon Cowell and the Jedward twins being voiced online and in the media and even on Bingo Hideout ‘s The Buzz. The strength of feeling so strong for Mr Cowell and John and Edward that it is really quite strange when sitting juxtaposition alongside the complete adoration for Cowell and the twins in almost equal measure by so many others. It begs the question do we love or loathe these real life pantomime characters?

- 10 Nov 09
All the gang at Bingo Hideout are big Social Networking fans, so we will often be found on facebook, twitter or Bebo.

The following small selection are really quite profound:
