And this:
Hack Academy
Monkey can see showbiz journalists' worst competitive instincts coming to the fore in the 24-hour press sleepover that begins in the Fame Academy house tomorrow night. Eight hacks will be put through their paces by the Fame Academy coaching staff, with an early morning fitness workout, followed by singing and dancing lessons, before they have to perform a song. The Sun's Sara Nathan may have an unfair advantage as she is rumoured to have stage school training. News of the World hackette Sharon Marshall apparently takes dancing lessons and has been bragging that she can do the splits. The Daily Star's Gareth Morgan has been practising his moves and ditties around the office; while Nicola Methven has been canvassing Daily Mirror colleagues about which song she should mangle. Mail on Sunday TV critic Jaci Stephen - a late Associated replacement for Tara Conlan, who was blackballed by the Daily Mail news desk - has been known to dance on tables after a drink or two, so she should have no problem. Aled Jones from Radio 1, the Sunday Times' Dan Cairns and Mary Evans from the TV Times make up the plucky eight. The cameras will apparently be rolling in the Fame Academy house for the duration of the hacks stay - does Monkey see some potential for blackmail, to prevent those "Lame Academy" headlines rearing their head again?



Well, why not, the majority of criticism last time round was uncalled for. I cant wait!!!

Alot of people saying it starts Saturday July 26th.
