Lembit pik and the Cheeky Girls
I should've started a thread about this when the crazy story first broke, but it just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
From Tuesday's Independent:

Lembit calls his lawyers over Cheeky Girls show
By Henry Deedes
Published: 03 April 2007
Ever since it was revealed that Lembit Opik was stepping out with one half of the the Cheeky Girls, he's faced regular drubbings at the hands of the third estate. Now, finally, the Lib Dem MP has decided to call the lawyers in.
Opik is unhappy about a report that appeared over the weekend linking him with a controversial reality TV show called Killing the Cheeky Girls.
The article, which appeared in the Sunday Express, claimed that Opik was to appear on a show, which aims to trick contestants into believing they have murdered the Z-list pop duo.
"I'm very angry," he tells me. "I'm not in the show and I told the paper when they phoned up that I wasn't involved. I'm now taking legal advice and will be considering legal action as well as reporting them to the Press Complaints Commission.
"It's so distasteful to suggest I'd be involved in anything like this."
The programme was made by a British film-maker called Alki David. When I managed to track him down in Los Angeles, he denied inventing Opik's involvement in order to promote the project.
"It wasn't my to intention to imply that Lembit actively took part in the programme, I just said that footage of him would feature in some form in the final edit." he says.
"It may be that I just use archive footage of him - but I might still try and chase him for a surprise interview."
It tops all his stuff with Sin Lloyd!
Here's the coverage of the story when it first broke last December:

It's been a major sleb news story for the last three months!
I thought everyone knew who Lembit Opik was? Next you'll be telling me I'm the only PS member who can name over 100 MPs... apart from Raston!
I was just about to start a Scottish Parliament/Welsh Assembly Election thread as well.
