From describing then-President George W Bush as a "sulphur-smelling devil" to branding former British PM Tony Blair an "imperialist pawn", the stridently outspoken president was famous for shooting from the hip.

Former energy secretary Huhne pleaded guilty last month to perverting the course of justice by passing his points to Pryce in 2003, ending his political career. Both now face the prospect of jail sentences.

Canadian pop tot Bieber also dominated headlines for much of this week, the hysteria of Beliebers bemusing newsreaders nation-wide. The 'Baby' star was fined after being two hours late for his O2 show on Monday night provoking outrage from fans' parents, but later there was sympathy for the singer as he collapsed on stage.
