Jedward has become the target of death threats made on Facebook.

The controversial Irish twin act of John and Edward Grimes, 18, has been threatened with such barbed Facebook postings as: “ive found my sniper rifle, dose any1 have any bullets for a type 72 scout sniper i could borrow. jedward soon to be deadward.”

Jedward bashing is one thing, but Facebook death postings are another. X Factor bosses wasted no time in calling them hate crimes against Jedward and amping up the security surrounding the singing act everyone loves to hate, the eNews of the World reported.

Another FB posting reads: “Those b****** twins need shooting. i recommend someone get their hands on a Barrett 50 cal and blow their bloody brains out!”

And one FB user wrote: “wish i could just go up to john and edward and kill them with a knife.”

An X Factor source said: “There’s no way that will be able to happen again. Safety is paramount to us. We need to protect all the contestants but John and Edward have had a lot of attention from the start so they are a unique case. These threats are mad and disgusting.”

Several anti-Jedward groups have also sprouted on Facebook. A spokesman said: “We encourage debate, and we’re not policing negative comments. But when it comes to death threats and hate crimes like this, we will work with Facebook to get them taken down.”

Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has said Twilight star Robert Pattinson is ‘coping well’ with fame.

Radcliffe, 20, starred alongside Pattinson, 23, in the movie Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.

Talking about Pattinson’s rise to fame following the release of movie Twilight, Radcliffe said: “I wouldn’t have any advice. He seems to be coping well.”

He added: “I haven’t spoken to Robert since we saw each other at the opening of a gallery three years ago. We’ve been sort of exchanging advice through journalists, bizarrely.”

Talking about fame, he added: “It is totally mad, when people are screaming and going absolutely insane for you.

“Particularly with Robert – the amount of women who would jump on him – you have to keep it in some kind of perspective, by thinking: ‘Well, partly they like me and partly they are just attracted to the character.’

“As long as you don’t think: ‘Oh yeah, God they’re all doing this – I must be absolutely fantastic.’ As long as you do that, you should be all right.”

Christina Aguilera will be hosting a New Year’s Eve party at Tao Las Vegas. Tickets to the singer/actress’ party are currently being sold at $150 per person. The package includes entry into the nightclub, open bar and hors d’oeuvres from 9-11 PM and a champagne toast at midnight. I wonder whether Christina will be performing at the party or will just act like a host or a guest. She better perform. At $150 a pop, just plain old drinks and nibble wouldn’t be enough and I don’t care about who else could be attending the party. So who’s going to that?
