Friedman unhappy with the "Jedward" Rollercoaster

Yep it is no longer John and Edward Grimes, or even the twins, it is "Jedward". You know you've hit it big time in the publicity stakes when you are known by one name, especially if there are two of you.

Yes John and Edward are on the verge of growing out of the X-Factor into athe cultural phenomenon of the day (or if we are generous the next few days).

It seems though not everyone is pleased with this. Take for instance a certain Brian Friedman, who is also known as the choreographer-in-chief for the X-Factor. He is been outspoken about the Twins, sorry I meant Jedward, for a while.


Jedward at last night's Christmas Carol premiere


At last night's film premiere of A Christmas Carol in Leicester Square, the choreographer was asked if he thought the twins were taking more deserving contestants' places.

Brian replied: “Yes, but the thing is the public are voting for them. It's going to show in the weeks to come if they do a ballad. Then the public will decide if they should stay.”

Last week he told the London Lite the Irish pair needed medication as they are so “crazy” to work with.

The Twins offered one way ticket...to Ireland

A cheeky travel firm has captured the some of the essence of this year's X-Factor with its offer of a one way ticket back to Ireland for twins John and Edward Grimes.

The company LastMinute.com in its latest publicity blitz made the offer to the Grimes brothers or any other twins called John and Edward.

A spokesman said: "The twins are good fun but perhaps it's time for X Factor to go back to being more about talent.

"I'm sure a lot of fans will have their fingers crossed that they get in touch with us."

X-Factor Twins, the new Ant and Dec?

The X-Factor Twins who have been dubbed the cockiest contestants ever and are hated and loved by many. It seems there is a method behind the Twins cockiness.

John and Edward Grimes have pleaded with viewers to give them a chance, says a report. The 17-year-olds have said that they believe that they could become as popular as Ant and Dec.

The Irish pair were given a place in the live finals by mentor Louis Walsh but are favourites to be the first act to exit the contest.
