Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has told of the embarrassing moment he realised he had tapped a Hollywood star on their behind.

Reading fans have got their wish after blocking their own team bus in midweek as manager Veljko Paunovic has been sacked.The Championship club have been struggling near the bottom of the table this season and a run of 11 league games without a win prompted a protest on Wednesday (February 16).Supporters surrounded the coach carrying Paunovic and his squad as they attempted to leave after their 0-0 draw away at Peterborough.Despite making their feelings abundantly clear, the Royals' board stuck by the Serbian and he remained in charge for their trip to Preston on Saturday (February 19).However, despite winning that match 3-2, Reading have now cut ties with Paunovic. A club statement read: "Reading Football Club can confirm that the contract of first team manager Veljko Paunovic has been terminated by mutual consent."The Serbian was appointed as manager of the Royals in late August 2020 and without fans in the stands to support him or his side, we sustained a push for promotion for much of his maiden campaign in the Championship - only for our play-off hopes to fade in the final few weeks of 2020-21.Who should replace him? Let us know in the comments section."This season, somewhat understandably, has proven more difficult."Having to help lead the club through strict transfer embargo restrictions and contract limitations, an injury crisis like never before seen at our club, a global pandemic and the challenge of a six-point deduction imposed by the EFL."For these reasons, owner Mr Dai Yongge wanted to afford Veljko time to turn around a poor recent run of results that now sees us in a battle for second tier survival.

Whilst saving for our first house my partner and I were both earning just over £20,000 a year, so not an extravagant wage."We put away savings every month and managed to save about £1,000 per month between us.“When we got the keys, we moved into the house straight away and lived in it whilst we were renovating."We didn’t even have a bed, we just had a mattress on the floor and were living very basic."We had to wait to get paid every month to buy things to renovate the house.

Or a regretful Jihadi like Shamima Begum.”Louis has been keen to make a show about ISIS for years.He added: “I tried to get out there in the hope I would be able to interview some of the repentant jihadis and that’s never happened.“I would have interviewed anyone in a position of authority there.”Louis also wants to quiz Hollywood icon Tom Cruise about his involvement with controversial religion Scientology.He said: “I’d love to interview Tom Cruise – only because of my history with Scientology.“I feel as though people are either scared to ask him about it or they feel like it would create an awkward mood.“I just think someone talking to him about what’s really going on in Scientology would be really valid.”This comes weeks after Shamima Begum offered to help Boris Johnson fight terrorism so kids do not repeat her mistakes.Shamima left her family in the UK with two of her friends to join Islamic State in Syria when she was just 15.Three weeks after leaving England and arriving in Syria, Shamima married an IS fighter.Years later, she says that she is reformed and remains hopeful of forgiveness and the chance to return home to London from Syria.In her latest interview with GB News, the now 22-year-old said she thinks she has what it takes to stop others being radicalised by ISIS.When asked if she would share her story, Begum told filmmaker Andrew Drury: "Of course.

THERE'S panic on the streets of Springfield thanks to a recent episode of The Simpsons which satirised Smiths singer Morrissey. The vegan singer, 61, was outraged at the way he was treated by the show's writers — and he's not the first.

Yesterday saw the collision of two cultural institutions that peaked a long, long time ago: The Simpsons and Morrisey. The former Smiths frontman was parodied on last night's episode of the cartoon sitcom for an episode titled “Panic On The Streets Of Springfield.” In the episode, Morrissey is skewered by the character "Quilloughby," voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch, who ages into a racist, bloated performer.

Morrissey has responded to the latest episode of The Simpsons which sent up The Smiths in a statement, saying “Writing for The Simpsons evidently requires only complete ignorance”.The episode, titled Panic On The Streets of Springfield, aired April 19. It saw Lisa getting a new imaginary friend named Quilloughby – a depressed indie singer from 1980s Britain voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch.Lisa discovers Quilloughby, who fronts the band The Snuffs, before falling for “their brand of literate, sardonic music” and his “militant vegetarianism”.

Morrissey was apparently quite upset over the parody of him on The Simpsons over the weekend.

The Simpsons recently struck a chord with former Smiths frontman Morrissey, whose manager Peter Katsis chewed out the long-running Fox animation show for “trying to capitalize on cheap controversy and expounding on vicious rumors.”

Morrissey issued a harsh rebuke of "The Simpsons" after the animated sitcom unflatteringly parodied him during its latest episode. Sunday's episode, titled "Panic On The Streets Of Springfield," sees 8-year-old Lisa Simpson become enamored by a British singer from the 1980s, voiced by guest star Benedict Cumberbatch with lyrics by "Flight of the Conchords" star Bret McKenzie.

Morrissey is no longer a big fan of “The Simpsons” following the series’ most recent episode.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorWhile “The Simpsons”’ parody of a “depressed British singer from the 1980s” — clearly styled at least partially on erstwhile Smiths frontman Morrissey — has gotten rave reviews in many quarters, the man himself is apparently less than thrilled. The singer was satirized as an imaginary friend of Lisa Simpson’s named Quilloughby, from a fictional band called the Snuffs, who, like Morrissey, was a vegan with a quiff a glum outlook.The character was voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch; the episode was titled “Panic on the Streets of Springfield,” in reference to the group’s 1986 single, and it features many references to the singer (an Oscar Wilde poster) and the Smiths’ album artwork.

Morrissey has hit out at The Simpsons, after The Smiths were sent up in the show’s latest episode.The episode, titled Panic On The Streets of Springfield, aired last night (April 19), and saw Lisa getting a new imaginary friend – a depressed indie singer from 1980s Britain.While the show stopped short of getting Morrissey onboard to voice the character, they instead enlisted the services of Benedict Cumberbatch to voice him.Hours after the episode aired, a statement on Morrissey’s Facebook page said the show had taken a “turn for the worst” in recent years.“Surprising what a “turn for the worst“ the writing for The Simpson’s tv show has taken in recent years,” the statement said.Surprising what a “turn for the worst" the writing for The

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeStop me if you think you’ve heard this one before: Benedict Cumberbatch guest stars as a moody 80s-era UK crooner who becomes Lisa’s imaginary friend on this Sunday’s episode of “The Simpsons.” Variety has a first look at this Fauxissey as he gives his take on the citizens of Springfield; scroll down to watch.In the episode “Panic on the Streets of Springfield,” Cumberbatch plays “Quilloughby,” described as Lisa’s “new imaginary friend — a depressed British singer from the 1980s.” Also in the episode, “Homer becomes a truck guy in the all.”Of course, it doesn’t take much to realize “Quilloughby” looks, sounds and acts like noted moody vegan (and lately, controversial right-winger) Morrissey.
