JAVINE SEES SALVATION IN SPORT

Javine, who still has the hollow laughter of her Eurovision disaster ringing in her ears, thinks that her forthcoming bit on celeb sports show The Games will start her on the comeback trail:

I think that it's a way of connecting with potential fans in a way you never can through a song," she told a spy.

That's right, Javine. It's a little-known fact that the Manic Street Preachers were going nowhere until they took part in a celebrity darts match, and Neil Diamond still looks back on his time in goal for a celebrity five-a-side team turned him into a big success. For, if people don't like your singing, they will and do buy your records providing you're quite good at diving.
