Faders Styled By 'Celebs'... In the weird mashed-up world which is Reality TV, RTE and TV3 sorta came together yesterday as the lovely Fade Street gals got their hairstyles re-styled by the old and new stars of Celebrity Salon... Like, Calum Best cutting and Vogue Williams' hair is the kinda TV we could have happily lived without... Louise Johnston Kinda creepy. That's how we'd describe what we witnessed in Reality TV hell yesterday... Why? Just the thought of RTE's Fade Street running into and merging with TV3's Celebrity Salon is kinda all wrong on so many different levels. Almost incestuous folks. Almost. Louise Johnston We all know Fade Street bombed in the ratings and we hear it isn't coming back for another season... Ever. We didn't actually watch a single second of last season's Celebrity Salon but from what we remember it wasn't received too well nor did it light up the ratings meter... In fact, we're drawing a blank on anything to do with that show's first run-out. Dani Robinson Yet for some reason these two strange worlds have been brought together and merged to make great television in the year 2011. Really? Like, we've got those practically professional Reality Show contestants in Calum Best, Abi Titmuss, and Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace heading it all up... Folks, do we really need our wee Faders thrown into that confused cake mix too? Perplexed. Much. Vogue Williams In fact, why do we need Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, Abi Titmuss, and Calum Best in an Irish fly on the wall Big Brother-esque type show? Surely we've seen everything this lot have to offer in all of the other Reality TV Shows they have been on over in the UK... And they’re famous because? Hmmmm... Rosanna Davison Okay, so there’s Rosanna Davison, Alan Hughes, and Georgia Salpa in the mix too... Nice people, but far too professional, media weary, and wise to actually drop the aul persona and do something spontaneous and car-azy. Unless it was scripted and given a few hundred takes... Shuddering at the prospect of this wee production folks. Shuddering. Cici Cavanagh Yup. Our hopes for Celebrity Salon are fading faster than Fade Street's ratings... And we're not buying the whole "it's getting loads of hits online" type tripe this time either... If it looks like a turkey, smells like a turkey, walks and squawks like a turkey... Louise Johnston, Melina Skvortsova, Dani Robinson, Cici Cavanagh Saying that, it was nice to see our Louise Johnston, Melina Skvortsova, Dani Robinson, Cici Cavanagh, and Vogue Williams back together at the secret salon filming location yesterday... Wait there! Weren't this bunch of babes supposed to be all enemies and stuff? We feel cheated. Abi Titmuss, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace Hold the press. According to the bits of vital info we picked up at the shoot: Calum Best styled Vogue Williams, Abi Titmuss styled Dani Robinson, and Alan Hughes styled Louise Johnston... Nice fade on the back of Dani's hair there Miss Titmuss... We're impressed. But not as much as that thing we saw online... Ahem. Ahem. Louise Johnston, John Norton Right. We're calling this new hybrid conglomerated show 'Celebrity Street', no, 'Fade Salon', no, 'Celebrity Faders'... Ahh forget it... Today's episode of Sesame Street was brought to you by the letter Z and the number 0. Dani Robinson

She plugs her education at every opportunity possible and then does stuff like this (and don't even get me started on her Dubliner column - cringe) I do think Rosie has(had?) potential and it's disappointing to see her on a par with Calum Best etc. Paula April 18, 2011 - 08:04 much prefer Dani with short hair. she looks all wrong when she's trying to be too glam! Reinhard Heydrich – Bohemia & Moravia April 15, 2011 - 21:51 Fade Street has clearly put each of those girls on the road to "stardumb" sarah – Wicklow April 15, 2011 - 21:33 That guy is the production company owner of Straywave Media i think, the people who brought you such hit shows as fade street and celebrity salon. Ta Daaa! s – dublin April 15, 2011 - 21:11 looks like they missed a bit of curling in louises hair liz April 15, 2011 - 17:25 Louise looks fab in these pics. Rosanna makes me smile... am I not correct in stating the girl has a college degree in something or other? Why does she not use it as opposed to indulging in such vapid poserish nothingless Hella Cool – Dub April 15, 2011 - 14:44 Yea Fade Street has been cancelled alright. Supposedly Louise is flogging tooth whitening strips now. fran April 15, 2011 - 14:27 I recognise that little fellow on the right from somewhere. Didn't he used to work in Cocoon? steve April 15, 2011 - 13:19 Salpa nice?? tania April 15, 2011 - 12:35 Get a life, weirdo!!! Danielle April 15, 2011 - 05:25 These people are desperate.
