'Billy Joel' wins Stars In Their Eyes

After nine weeks of singing, 'Billy Joel' has been named the Grand Champion of Stars In Their Eyes, winning a trip to Las Vegas.

Collecting his award Darren Trainer thanked the audience for voting for him and described the experience as "surreal and very wierd".

In what was either TVNZ's hat-tip to the public service union or a glaring rock history error, tonight's show featured "George Michael" performing the song Faith in a leather PSA jacket rather than the tribute to BSA motorcyles worn in the 1987 classic.

Sunday night Corrie is axed

ITV is to pull its Sunday night episode of 'Coronation Street' as part of a channel revamp to make weekends a soap-free zone.
The half-hour show will now move to 8.30pm on Fridays, with 'Emmerdale' also being ditched from Sunday nights. Viewers will get an hour-long episode on Tuesdays instead.The changes are part of the station's new-look 2008 schedule.
Simon Shaps, ITV's Director of Television, said: "We've responded to viewer feedback on 'Coronation Street' and 'Emmerdale' so that fans can catch up with their favourite soaps over fewer nights.
"One of the principal ideas behind these changes is to make the weekends on ITV1 feel special.
"We have always been the home of Saturday night entertainment and we want to broaden that out to make the whole weekend on ITV1 something to look forward to.
"This has meant a wholesale spring clean for Friday nights with new comedy, drama and feature films to get the weekend started, and a much fresher look to Sunday evenings with entertainment shaking up the historically drama-led schedule."
