No idea, the closest UNESCO world heritage site to Blackpool is this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpo...ercantile_City and it's in Liverpool

What if it's not for JBA?
Now there's a thought! The person who tweeted said they were going to his fathers Rock factory and as he came from Blackpool, everyone assumed that was where it was, but he refused to say exactly where as he'd been told the twins would be in and out, and wanted no fuss..

This Glee actor thinks the twins would be good on the show, and says really sweet things about them (from 1:34) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZEBqEHEAvA

I like Stacey, I'm glad they're working with her again. I'm looking forward to this new series.
Stacey seemed lovely again, and seemed to be on John's team again. Sadly none of us seemed to know who the fella on Edward's team was.

Hampton Court is nice, but cobbled courtyards and wheelchairs make for a VERY bumpy ride! OMG!

They had no tourists with them today though so they are probably going back Friday.

The video doesn't seems to work, but if it's Damian McGinty, it's a quite old video, and hes no longer in Glee now Ryan Murphy the creator of the show, always wanted to have an Irish character, I think he would like he/she can do Irish dancing(don't remember Damian can dance), twins seem can pull it off with a bit of training(?) jk,,,

I used to love glee a lot, but... hehe
remembered when John talked about his broken ankle, "I was in a wheelchair for 8 shows, I feel like Artie, back when Glee was popular..." lol

JBA filming seems lots of fun, thanks for fans who took photos, just curious to know how many episodes will Edward win in the end.

I have no idea about this fight, I'm clearly out of the loop ;o. But no other band would comment on something like that, I think its fine for the twins to follow that same line, they won't know the back story etc, two sides etc.
I've also been out of the loop for a bit and I had not heard anything about the punching incident (and a twitter search doesn't reveal anything) so I don't know who was involved.

But here's the thing - all stars have crazy fans who do crazy things. At the moment One Direction are in NZ and crazy stuff is happening. Sometimes it's good crazy, sometimes bad crazy.

The Jeds are not responsible for the behaviour of their fans. If someone goes and punches someone and then later distributes flyers for a Jed gig, that's their deal. The Jeds aren't responsible for either.

I'm hoping that if someone did actually punch another fan, they'd have a serious think about what they did and that it won't ever happen again.

Hey, let's have something positive! Blaze is on Twitter - and Instagram.

The old @EdwardGrimes account has been transformed into @WorldOfBlaze, featuring adorable photos of the coolest chihuahua ever, and some funny messages. This is what I love about being a Jedfan.

Oh thank you, yes, it was that actor, I had never seen that interview and it was recently uploaded so I assumed it was new. On it he talked about how he's a Jedward fan and the boys are always lovely and kind with everybody

I noticed that the Delilah video had lots of views and wondered how popular Jed videos are on RTE's YouTube channel.

1. The Rubberbandits - Horse Outside (10,648,600 views) (Irish musical comedy group)
2. Obama's car gets stuck at US Embassy (3,634,029 views)
3. JEDWARD EXCLUSIVE- Lipstick (Paris Version) (3,517,325 views)
4. Eurosong Winners 2012 - Jedward - Waterline (2,953,344 views)
5. JEDWARD: Lipstick - OFFICIAL VIDEO!!! (1,578,741 views)

6. Charlie And The Seal! (1,347,289 views) (A man hangs out with some adorable elephant seal pups)
7. Eurovision 2011 Final Ireland: Jedward - Lipstick (1,270,609 views)

The rest of the top 10 is comedy videos, mainly by the Rubberbandits. Neatly enough, all top 10 videos have had at least a million views, no one outside the top 10 has reached that mark yet. So, it's fair to say that the Jeds are one of RTE's most popular stars!

Interesting, those videos are all ESC related tho so that might have a bearing. wonder what last years eurosong winner's stats are compared with twins last performance.

Ryan Dolan's videos in RTE's youtube account have these stats:
- Eurosong 2013 Winner: Ryan Dolan - Only Love Survives: 197,653 views
- Ryan Dolan performs for Ireland | Eurovision Song Contest Semi-Final 2013: 55,188 views
- Ryan Dolan 'Only Love Survives' | Ireland | Eurovision Song Contest Final 2013: 15,838 views


Today is the auditions day for Belle for the twins' panto. Do you think the twins will pay a visit to the auditions now that they're in Ireland?

BTW yesterday I read a fan saying that Edward said that the Can't Forget you video still needs a lot of editing and he keeps on working on it when he's home

Hmmmm, so he's not finished it yet then.
Awkward.

And that is a massive difference in viewing stats. Not just down to them being the Irish Eurovision entry then.

Blaze has her own website!

http://www.itsblazebitch.com/

I'm slightly worries about the web address having the b-word in it. I know at my old workplace it would have been automatically blocked. And it's the sort of thing that schools and parents will block if they have monitoring software on their kids' computers.

But most excitingly - it looks like there'll be a 2014 Blaze calendar!

What? Did you work in a nunnery? Surely this is PC gone mad? And bitch is in context here as a female dog!

I suppose if bitch is on the bad word list they will lose hits though

I wonder how the Crufts website gets round it?

If the B word troubles you try this: http://jedwardteam-com.webs.com/ this was the url last night and it redirects to http://www.itsblazebitch.com/

It's wishful thinking, but maybe they're training their website-making skills to get in charge of http://www.planetjedward.net?

I wonder if it's J&E making the website, or if someone else is doing the donkey work? Surely they are too busy writing songs, editing videos, filming JBA etc ?

The planetjedward.net website has always baffled me with it's out-of-date info, weird merch, etc. I guess the twins never had independent control over it?

The blaze website is a cute idea... I just find myself wondering why J&E don't put the time and energy into their own website.

The whois, lists Edward Grimes as the owner of the domain.

I worked at a TV station - quite a liberal workplace in many respects, but for non-news/production staff they used this standard web blocking software. It can't tell the difference between bitch meaning a female dog and bitch used as a derogatory term. As far as the software knows, itsblazebitch.com could be a stripper's website!

But I'm encouraged that they've also registered worldofblaze.com

That sort of thing can be created in a few hours - much simpler and quicker than editing a music video! It could easily have been a weekend project for Edward. I'm guessing that the Blaze calendar will be created via a service that's already set up to make calendars.

I'm a lot happier that the Jeds seem to be directly involved with this, rather than the previous merch experience. The Blaze site has a much better vibe to it!

They must have been watching Breaking Bad!

By the way, I had reason to phone Ikea's customer service people today, and while I was on 'wait', they were playing 'All the Small Things'! Sweden rocks!

This is sooooo exciting... perhaps their dog's website will sell lots of stuff! The first celeb pet to have its own product line... a dream come true!

so a Blaze 2014 calendar but no Jedward calendar? Would be great when not only Blaze would be on the calendar-pics but also J&E .
