According to The Sun newspaper, Zhirinovsky said: ''There is no limit to our outrage. It is the end of Europe. They don't have men and women anymore - they have 'it'.''

Conchita Wurst

Wurst enjoyed a successful stint on an Austrian talent competition called The Big Chance and competed as Wurst in various other reality singing competitions as well.

Jenni's weekly pick of The X-Files' first season episodes comes to the best so far, E.B.E feat. the first appearance of the Lone Gunmen...
This review contains spoilers.
1.17 E.B.E
An excellent episode filled with suspense, bait-and-switch moments, the Lone Gunmen (!!!) and a surprising moment between our two protagonists. E.B.E stands for Extraterrestrial Biological Entity, and it’s a concept that attracts more than one group of people here. The directors said that they made this episode with All the President’s Men in mind, and it shows. The plot is dense and twisting, the camera work is dark and moody, and every dimly lit room holds a secret.
The entire thing kicks off over Iraqi air space when a pilot shoots down a UFO, which magically lands next to a Us airbase in Turkey, an area in Turkey that looks surprisingly like Oregon.
