‘I pole danced for Simon Cowell’ says Zoe Ball

Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball has confessed that she once performed a raunchy pole dance in front of X Factor boss Simon Cowell.

The 38-year old told Celebs on Sunday that she was partying at Stringfellows when she decided to take to the stage to strut her stuff.

She explained: “My mate and I got a bit drunk – in my former life – and ended up there trying to pole dance.

“This man came up to us and said, “Um, can you get down please? But before you do, can this man take your picture?”

“It was Peter Stringfellow and he was sat at a table with Simon and loads of really big bods from TV.”

Zoe also revealed that Cowell sent over a bottle of champagne but she was unsure whether this was because he liked her dancing.

She confessed: “We said hello, then a few minutes later Simon sent a bottle of champagne over to us.”

“I think it was to stop me from dancing ever again, rather than congratulate me.”

Britney Spears goes topless for pole dance

Oops! Britney Spears shocks again; this time unintentionally. The ‘Toxic’ singer is creating headlines for her topless pole dance.

With nothing just tattoos of rose petals covering her breasts, Britney leaves little to imagination as she gyrates around a strippers’ pole while shooting the video of her 2007 hit ‘Gimme More’.

Understandably, the topless act was deemed too hot for viewers and axed from the video but its stills have now been leaked to the tabloid press. The snaps show a brunette Britney dancing topless around a pole, smiling and waving to the camera. Incidentally, the shoot took place at the time of her public breakdown two years back.

27-year-old Britney is presently performing a string of acclaimed gigs at London’s 02 as part of her Circus tour, before moving on to Manchester and Dublin.

She is also learnt to be planning a series of sexy parties across London.

MTV.co.uk quotes a source as saying: “It’s going to be crazy. Britney wanted to throw parties people will be talking about for years. I promise you, you’ve never seen anything so explicit in your life.”

Basic Pole Dance Moves

The Walk Around — Stand tall, shoulders back. Hook arm around the pole and tip toe slowly and sexily round the pole.

The Bridge — From the Walk Around hold the pole with one hand, place legs around the pole. Still on tip toes, slowly drop backwards towards the floor, curving spine as far as it can go.

The Body Ripple — Holding pole with one hand, move shoulders into it. Stick butt out, ripple inwards until stomach is on the pole. Then pull out shoulders, bringing pelvis towards pole. Repeat several times so the movement flows.

The Straight Leg Grip — Jump onto pole holding with both hands. Grip pole between legs. Release one hand and lean away from pole, straighten one leg and spin around slowly in this position.

The Reverse Hold — Stand side-on to pole. Hold pole with both hands straight and arms above head. Bend legs and hook right leg around the pole so it rests in the crook of the knee. Cross both feet spin around slowly.
