Gary Glitter bragged about 'best time of his life' during sick trips to Asia
Vile Gary Glitter 'showed no remorse' during a hospital stay as he talked about having 'the time of his life' while living in Asia wheen he was convicted of child sex attacks. Twisted paedophile Gary Glitter described a trip to Asia during a period when he abused girls as "the time of his life", a hospital carer has revealed. The woman, who looked after the disgraced former glam rocker during a hospital stay, said he showed no remorse for his crimes. She came forward after reading the Mirror's report about how th 81-year-old appeared to have finally admitted he poses a danger to young girls and agreed he should stay in jail, reports the Mirror. However, the healthcase support worker says she's not convinced after spending hime with the shamed rocker three years ago. "The thing that stayed with me was that he had no remorse," she said. "He was trying to make friends with the nurses, talking about being abroad in Cambodia and what a wonderful place it was with beautiful people and how he spent some of the best times of his life there.

"I felt sick when I found out later he had been accused of abusing children over there. It was really chilling to reflect on what he said about his memories of those trips and then be told what he had done. "That was what he was talking about when he said it was the best time of his life. He had no remorse. You would have thought he would have felt guilty about it but he was saying it was the best time of his life, it was chilling. It was like he doesn't know he's done anything wrong." Glitter was first jailed in 1999 after being caught with thousands of child abuse images. After completing his sentence, he moved to Cambodia, where he lived on and off before being expelled in 2002 amid claims he was trawling for child sex victims. In 2006, he was jailed again in neighbouring Vietnam for abusing two girls aged just 11 and 12. In 2015, he was sentenced in the UK for sexually abusing three schoolgirls, he was freed in 2023 after serving half of his 16-year jail term. However, within weeks of his release he was recalled to The Verne prison in Dorset - a sex offender unit - for breaching his licensing conditions by allegedly downloading images of children online. The pervert was an inpatient at Dorset County Hospital in 2022 for a knee operation. He was cuffed to the bed and under guard from two prison officers. The hospital worker, in her 30s, said Glitter was a "demanding" patient, adding: "He was really pervy with the female hospital staff saying 'hiya sweetheart' and giving a wink. He had a well-groomed goatee beard and always wore yellow tinted sun glasses to try to look like a celebrity but he looked daft in a hospital gown." Glitter agreed with the latest Parole Board decision to keep him in jail. It said he still has "an uncontrolled interest" in young girls and added: "He had accepted he should not be released at this time." He will be considered for parole again in two years – but could remain in jail until 2031, when he will be 87. A psychological assessment last year found the former glam rocker "continued to evidence a sexual interest in young females and held attitudes that supported the sexual abuse of children". The report added: "It was recommended that he should engage with accredited programmes in custody designed to address sexual offending. After considering the full details of the case, the panel was not satisfied that release at this point would be safe for the protectiron of the public." Glitter was declared bankrupt in March after refusing to pay £508,000 in damages to a woman he raped when she was just 12. Her lawyers successfully launched an enforcement action. The case was at Torquay and Newton Abbot county court in Devon. It means a trustee can now take over Glitter's assets, including his £2million penthouse in Central London, and use them to pay the victim. It is understood at least two more victims have since come forward to sue the former singer. Documents filed at Companies House show a firm he founded, now run by associates, has £137,873 in assets. It paid off the mortgage on his flat in the capital. He is also understood to still be raking in royalties while in jail. Glitter sold millions of records in the 1970s and is believed to get cash as a songwriter each time his tunes are played on radio, TV or at a sports event.

Mariah Carey's most memorable awkward moments
's awkward moments while being interviewed have been reassessed recently including her admitting to not knowing who Jennifer Lopez was. Meanwhile, in 2002, the singer, 56, was interviewed by journalist Cat Deeley but Mariah shut down Cat's questions about her rumored romance with Eminem. Cat asked the singer, if it was true she and the rapper had been in a relationship. 'Define relationship,' came Mariah's frosty response. 'Is it true you went out on dates?' continued Cat. 'No,' the songstress stated. 'I was friends with him - physical anything - no!' she shot back. Cat, replied: 'I like the fact that… I like that,' before quickly changing the subject. takes a look back at some of her most memorable diva moments. 1. She 'doesn't know' Jennifer Lopez One of Mariah's most famous diva moments came in 2003 when she said she 'didn't know Jennifer during an interview with the German television program taff. When asked about her thoughts on Jennifer, Mariah shook her head and responded with the now-iconic phrase, which later became a viral meme. The perceived feud stems from several factors, primarily linked to Mariah's ex-husband, Tommy Mottola, a former Sony Music CEO. In her 2020 memoir, The Meaning Of Mariah Carey, Mariah alleges that Tommy sabotaged her 2001 album Glitter and its lead single Loverboy after their 1998 divorce. She claims Tommy gave a sample of the song Firecracker by Yellow Magic Orchestra, which she intended to use for Loverboy, to Jennifer for her hit single I'm Real. Mariah alleged Tommy redirected a planned collaboration with Ja Rule from her to Jennifer, further fueling tensions. Mariah referred to Jennifer in her memoir as 'another female entertainer on their label (whom I don't know).' 2. The time she dissed Madonna In an interview with Spin magazine in the 90s, Madonna was asked: 'Are there moments when you just say I wish I was Mariah Carey, just singing silly pop songs?' The singer laughed and replied: 'I'd kill myself.' Mariah didn't take kindly to this remark and made a diss at Madonna's age and relevancy in an MTV interview. She said: 'I really haven't paid attention to Madonna since I was in seventh or eighth grade when she used to be popular.' Ouch. 3. Her feud with Nicki Minaj While Mariah's feuds with Jennifer and Madonna played out in the press, her beef with Nicki Minaj was face-to-face. The two women clashed during season 12 of American Idol when they both joined the judging panel. Reports surfaced of on-set tension, with a leaked video from October 2012 showing Nicki confronting Mariah during auditions in Charlotte, North Carolina. In the clip, Minaj is heard saying: 'I told them, I'm not fin' putting up with her fin' highness over there,' referring to Mariah. Nicki also accused Mariah of making negative comments about her, escalating the situation. In a later interview with Barbara Walters, Mariah was asked if she was the unnamed 'b****' Nicki sang about in one of her songs. 'Don't know. I didn't know she sang. I thought she rapped. Or whatever,' Mariah replied. 4. Backing out of Will Ferrell's film Mariah was cast to appear as herself in a failed cameo in Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler's 2017 film The House. The scene was planned to be Mariah singing one of her songs in an illegal casino setting and then be humorously 'shot'. However, the cameo was scrapped due to Mariah's on-set behavior, which Will and co-stars described as unprofessional and disruptive. She was reportedly four hours late to the Los Angeles set, as confirmed by Will on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in June 2017. When she arrived, she refused to perform the pre-approved scene, saying: 'I don't want to do this scene,' despite prior agreement. She is also said to have demanded stuffed lambs and white roses in her trailer. The delays and demands led to her cameo being cut from the film. 5. Calling out her backup singer Mariah is not above interrupting a live performance if things aren't going to her liking. In a 2008 appearance on Good Morning America, the star chastised one of her backup singers who she believed was singing her part. Mariah turned around mid-performance and sang: 'Stop singing my part now, baby.' 6. Fluorescent lights On an episode of her 2016 reality show Mariah's World, Mariah refused to remove her sunglasses while in a room with fluorescent lighting. She then explained she would never be seen in such places without her sunnies on. 'I'm wearing these glasses because we're in fluorescent lighting, and I have a rule which states that I will not be seen in fluorescent lighting without sunglasses - I know it's very '90s,' she said. 7. Her refusal to recognize birthdays Mariah has a unique approach to ageing - she doesn't acknowledge her birthday. In a 2014 interview with Out magazine, she stated: 'I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them - I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling.' She added: 'I'm eternally 12 years old,' emphasizing her whimsical rejection of ageing. In a 2016 Complez Magazine interview, when asked about turning 46, Mariah quipped: 'I don't have a birthday. I was just dropped here. It was a fairyland experience.' 8. The time she threw shade at the Grammys Mariah has five Grammys to her name but in an interview with V magazine, she insisted artists shouldn't care too much about them. 'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn,' she said. 'I mean, I have five Grammys. That's cute ... I won two Grammys the first year I started, but after that, [the Grammys] are like, 'We don't go with the people that are selling a lot of records and are popular; we're gonna go the opposite way.' 'So I got screwed out of certain years. I wasn't bitter about it. I was just like, 'OK, well, I guess I'm not standing here barefoot onstage singing and trying to go a certain way. I'm just me.''

Pop paedophile Gary Glitter to remain in jail after losing latest parole bid
The disgraced former glam rocker will remain behind bars after the Parole Board turned down his latest request to be released over his jail term for raping and abusing three schoolgirls Pop paedophile Gary Glitter has lost his latest bid for freedom and will stay in jail for at least another two years, the Parole Board has revealed. The disgraced 80-year-old was jailed in 2015 for the sexual abuse of three schoolgirls and was released automatically in 2023 after serving half of his 16-year sentence. Glitter was recalled to HMP The Verne, a specialist sex offender prison in Dorset, within weeks after breaking his licensing conditions by allegedly downloading images of children online. And he's remained inside since March 2023, having been refused bail last year when it was ruled that he still posed a danger to children. His latest application for release was refused today by the Parole Board, the MailOnline has reported. A spokesperson said: "We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board refused the release of Paul Gadd following a paper review. "Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community. A panel will carefully examine a huge range of evidence, including details of the original crime, and any evidence of behaviour change, as well as explore the harm done and impact the crime has had on the victims. "Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority. Under current legislation he will be eligible for a further review in due course. The date of the next review will be set by the Ministry of Justice." The Parole Board is set to publish a written summary in the coming weeks explaining why it decided to turn down the application. In March the former glam rocker was declared bankrupt after refusing to cough up £508,000 in damages awarded by the High Court last year to a woman he raped when she was 12. Her lawyers at Slater and Gordon successfully launched an enforcement action. T he case appeared under Glitter's real name of Paul Gadd at Torquay and Newton Abbot county court in Devon. A trustee can now take over his assets, including his £2million penthouse in central London, and use them to pay the victim. A High Court judge ruled last year the woman was entitled to compensation to cover the time she has been unable to work and for the suffering Glitter caused. It is understood that at l east two more victims have since come forward to sue the singer. Documents filed at Companies House show a firm Glitter founded, now run by associates, has £137,873 in assets. It paid off the mortgage on his flat in Baker Street, central London. He is also understood to still be raking in royalties while in jail. Glitter sold millions of records and is thought to get royalties as a songwriter. It would mean he is earning each time his tunes are played on radio, TV or at a sports event. By 2013, he had reportedly earned £1million from 1995 Oasis track Hello, which uses part of his song Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again. He served two-and-a-half years in jail in Vietnam from 2006 for sexually abusing two girls, aged 10 and 11. Then at Southwark Crown Court in south London in the 2015 case, he was convicted of two indecent assaults and sex with a girl under 13 in relation to the woman who sued him. Richard Scorer, at Slater and Gordon, said after the compensation ruling last year: "Gadd's refusal to engage with the process proves his utter lack of remorse, something we will remind the Parole Board about if he makes another application for early release." The board last year found Glitter had not engaged in sex offender courses in jail and was not satisfied that his release "would be safe for the protection of the public".
