Ilupi menuju Rekor

Dalam laporannya, La Gazetto dello Sport, Senin (28 / 10), telah mengklaim bahwa rekor kemenangan beruntun terlama pada awal musim di liga top Eropa hanya berhasil menembus 11 pertandingan. Rekor tersebut dicetak oleh Tottenham Hotspur pada 1960 / 1961. Fakta tersebut tentu sangatlah mungkin untuk disamai oleh klub Seri A yang kini tengah menanjak menuai prestasi. Klub tersebut tak lain dan tak bukan adalah AS Roma. Dengan meraih total Sembilan kemenangan beruntun sejauh ini, I Lupi berkesempatan menjejaki prestasi Spurs pada masa lampau.

Hanya diperlukan dua kemenangan lagi maka anak asuh Rudi Garcia ini akan menuju rekor tersebut. Bahkan, jika kita menilik gelagat Roma yang sedemikian kompak, solid, dan berkarakter, mereka pun berpeluang besar untuk mencatatkan rekor sendiri. Mengingat bahwa tim ini terbukti produktif (23 gol) dan seimbang, terbukti baru kebobolan satu gol sejauh ini. Langkah menuju ke sana bisa diawali ketika melakoni partai giornata 10 menghadapi Chievo di Stadion Olimpico, Roma, hari ini. I Giallorossi memiliki kesempatan untuk memenangkannya. Banyak hal mengapa prediksi kemenangan lebih condong kepada kubu tuan rumah.

Sesuai dengan julukan lain yang melekat, La Maggica (Si Magis), permainan menyihir dan berkarakter bakal menjadi kekuatan AS Roma menikmati kemenangan ke - 10 musim ini. Garcia mengatakan di situs resmi klub as.roma.it. “Kami akan menjalani partai ke – 10 musim ini, tentu kami ingin meraih hasil positif demi menjaga peluang finish terbaik di akhir musim,” ujarnya. Motivasi dan mentalitas Roma juga bisa menjadi capital berikut. Kemenangan dengan perolehan skor 1 – 0 dengan hanya memaanfaatkan 10 pemain saat menghadapi Udinese pada laga giornata 9 bisa jadi adalah fakta yang cukup membanggakan.

“Kami menunjukkan kekompakan. Kami adalah tim yang sangat utuh. Anda tak mungkin dapat meraih apa pun dengan 11 solois,” ungkap pencetak gol ke gawang Udinese, Michael Bradley. Bagi nya (Bradley), laga melawan Chievo menjadi special. Bergabung ke klub tersebut pada tahun 2011, pemain asal Amerika Serikat (AS) ini menemukan kembali sentuhan terbaik setelah sebelumnya mengalami masa – masa frustrasi di Aston Villa. “Saya akan berusaha untuk memberikan yang terbaik untuk AS Roma,” ujar Bradley.

Bradley baru masuk pada babak kedua saat melawan Udinese. Seiring dengan isyarat rotasi yang dicanangkan Garcia untuk laga ini, meski AS Roma tercatat hanya memakai 17 pemain dalam delapan laga awal atau paling sedikit di antara tim Seri A lain, Bradley berkesempatan untuk mencicipi laga sejak awal. “Setiap orang memiliki kesempatan untuk bermain,” ungkap Garcia seraya memberikan informasi bahwa Francesco Totti dan Gervinho kemungkinan masih bakal absen. Hanya saja, meski terkesan sangat optimistis, potensi Chievo tetap tidak bisa dikesampingkan.

Musim lalu, dalam dua pertemuan, tim yang sayangnya saat ini ada di dasar klasemen, telah sukses menggulingkan Roma dengan skor identik 1 – 0. Kunjungan anggota skuad ke Paul Francis, Rabu (30 / 10), juga bisa memberikan dampak moral berarti bagi klub yang baru meraih 4 poin sejauh ini.

Sementara itu, kabar kurang mengenakkan harus diterima Romanisti Indonesia dan pecinta Sepak Bola tanah air. Pasalnya, rencana kedatangan tim Seri A, AS Roma ke Jakarta, yang rencananya diselenggarakan pada 14 November mendatang, terpaksa dibatalkan. Cedera yang dialami pemain inti dan banyaknya anggota tim yang kini dipanggil untuk membela tim nasional menjadi penyebabnya. CEO Nine sports Arief Putra Wicaksono mengatakan, pihak Roma membatalkan kedatangan ke Indonesia karena banyak pemain yang kini sedang mengalami cidera. Sejumlah pemain inti seperti kapten tim Francesco Totti dan Gervinho saat ini dibekap cedera.

A touch of paradise: The campaign photographs were shot on the picturesque setting of Bora Bora

Reality star: As well as being a successful model, the 18-year-old sometimes appears alongside her mother on the Real Housewives

This isn't the first time the 5ft 10 ins Gigi has modelled for the brand - she also appeared in a set of photographs for a campaign last year.

Her modelling life has also featured on episodes of the Real Housewives, with mother Yolanda coming under criticism for urging her daughter to diet in an episode shown last November.

Persaingan Bale dan Messi

Penampilan kurang memuaskan yang ditunjukkan Gareth Bale pada debutnya di el clasico, Sabtu (26 / 10), tidak menjadi penghambat bagi dirinya untuk masuk dalam kandidat pemenang FIFA Ballon d’Or 2013. Ada beberapa alasan yang menyertainya. Salah satunya adalah performa nya yang cemerlang bersama Tottenham Hotspur pada 2012 / 2013, yang kemudian mendorong Real Madrid untuk memecahkan rekor transfer dan tanpa ragu mengeluarkan 100 juta euro untuk menempatkannya dalam tim. Sosok berkebangsaan Wales itu telah menciptakan 26 gol di seluruh kompetisi pada musim lalu.

“Dalam lima tahun terakhir Bale telah tumbuh dari bek kiri muda menjanjikan Liga Primer menjadi salah satu pemain yang paling ditakuti di dunia. Kemampuan Bale membantunya merebut sejumlah penghargaan di Inggris sebelum kemudian hengkang ke Madrid,” tulis keterangan FIFA. Sayangnya, Bale kemudian gagal untuk mempertahankan performanya bersama Real Madrid. Cedera menghalanginya untuk mengeluarkan penampilan terbaik di Santiago Bernabeu. Jangankan untuk memberi kontribusi, fisik Bale turut dipertanyakan karena dirinya belum pernah tampil penuh pada 2013 / 2014, baik dalam level klub maupun Internasional.

Bale bahkan dikritik dan dicap sebagai pemain terburuk saat Real Madrid ditaklukkan Barcelona, Sabtu (26 / 10). Media Spanyol bahkan sempat membuat berita yang tidak mengenakkan baginya dengan menuliskan “Madrid bermain lebih baik tanpa Bale di lapangan. Waktu bagi Bale untuk membuktikan dirinya bernilai 100 juta euro semakin sedikit”. Hal ini semakin membuat dirinya (Bale) merasa terpukul atas pemberitaan media tersebut. Walau masuk pencalonan, kesempatan bagi Bale untuk menjadi pemain Inggris raya pertama yang membawa pulang Ballon d’Or sejak Michael Owen (2001) terbilang kecil.

Pemain terbaik Eropa UEFA 2013, Franck Ribery dan pemenang empat Ballon d’Or terakhir, Lionel Messi adalah favorit terkuat saat ini. Sedangkan Spanyol tampak mengalami penurunan drastis pada persaingan tahun ini. Hanya beberapa pemain saja seperti Andres Iniesta dan Xavi Hernandez yang masih tetap bertahan dari pemilihan sebelumnya. Sementara nama – nama seperti Xabi Alonso, Sergio Busquets, Iker Casillas, Gerard Pique dan Sergio Ramos kini telah menghilang.

Sebagai gantinya wakil Bayern Muenchen kini tampak mendominasi. Nama – nama seperti Ribery, Phillip Lahm, Thomas Mueller, Manuel Neuer, Arjen Robben, dan Bastian Schweinsteiger hadir setelah membantu tim menjadi treble winners pada 2012 / 2013. Jupp Heynckes, yang meninggalkan Bayern pun menyusul kesuksesan tersebut, juga diakui dan masuk pada kategori pelatih terbaik. Dia (Jupp Heynckes) akan bersaing dengan Sir Alex Ferguson, Luiz Felipe Scolari, dan juara 2012 Vicente del Bosque.

FIFA menulis, “Musim 2012 / 2013 pasti tidak akan dilupakan Heynckes. Setelah ia memenangkan berbagai gelar baik dalam posisinya ketika ia sebagai pemain maupun kini setelah ia menjadi seorang pelatih, dia telah mencapai titik tertinggi prestasi dengan merebut tiga gelar”. Organisasi yang dipimpin Sepp Blatter itu selanjutnya akan mengumumkan tiga kandidat utama, diperkirakan pada akhir bulan depan. Mereka bakal menganugerahi para pemenang pada 14 Januari tahun depan.

Berikut daftar lengkap Kandidat Fifa Ballon d’Or 2013 : Gareth Bale (Real Madrid), Edinson Cavani (Paris St Germain), Radamel Falcao (Monaco), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Paris St Germain), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona), Phillip Lahm (Bayern Muenchen), Robert Lewandowski (Borussia Dortmund), Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Thomas Mueller (Bayern Muenchen), Manuel Neuer (Bayern Muenchen), Neymar (Barcelona), Mesut Oezil (Arsenal), Andrea Pirlo (Juventus), Franck Ribery (Bayern Muenchen), Arjen Robben (Bayern Muenchen), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Muenchen), Luis Suarez (Liverpool), Thiago Silva (Paris St Germain, Yaya Toure (Manchester City), Robin Van Persie (Manchester United), Xavi Hernandez ( Barcelona).

Sementara untuk Kandidat pelatih terbaik 2013 adalah : Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid), Rafael Benitez (Napoli), Antonio Conte (Juventus), Vicente Del Bosque (Spanyol), Sir Alex Fergusson (Eks Manchester United), Jupp Heynckes (Eks Bayern Muenchen), Jurgen Klopp (Borussia Dortmund), Jose Mourinho (Chelsea), Luiz Felipe Scolari (Brazil), Arsene Wenger (Arsenal).

Diancam Mau Dibuat Cacat, Marcio Souza Lapor Polisi

Heboh isu penghianatan Marcio Souza terhadap timnya Perseman Manokwari, membuat dirinya marah besar. Souza dituduh menerima sogokan sehingga timnya kalah dalam penampilannya menghadapi Persepar Palangkaraya pada laga Indonesia Premiere League (IPL). Kekalahan Perseman pada 21 Oktober lalu membawa-bawa nama Souza yang terlihat tampil bak ayam sayur pada saat bermain. Kontan Persepar menghabisi Perseman dengan skor 4-2.

Mendengar tuduhan ini, Souza menjadi geram. Pemain asal Brazil itu merasa dinodainama baiknya. Dalam kesempatan wawancara, ia mengomentari dengan tegas perihal tuduhan tersebut. “Sama sekali tidak ada suap yang saya terima”.

Usut punya usut, isu Souza menerima sogokan muncul melalui kicauan @footballnesia. Dalam kicauannya dikatakan bahwa Souza disuap sebesar 250 juta rupiah oleh bandar judi Malaysia. Sehingga, ia tampil loyo tidak seperti biasanya. Tak heran Souza menjadi geram sekaligus was-was. Jelasnya, ia khawatir bahwa kicauan tersebut akan mempengaruhi jalan karirnya di sepakbola. Padahal pria Brazil tersebut dengan tegas mengatakan bahwa ia tidak disuap oleh siapapun. Ujarnya meyakinkan wartawan, “Coba tanya saja sama tim yang pernah saya bela. Bagaimana attitude saya selama bermain untuk tim itu”. Tambahnya, “Bagi saya pantang untuk menjual diri dan menjual tim saya. Saya harap pihak @footballnesia mau memberikan penjelasan tentang ini”.

Sayangnya, tuduhan suap yang menimpa dirinya tidak habis sampai disitu. Aries Wamafma, Manajer Perseman menuduh Souza menjual pertandingan ke Persepar seharga 50 juta. Aries pun mengancam Souza bahwa dirinya akan dibikin cacat. Dirinya pun akan dilaporkan ke PSSI dan dibawa ke pihak Polisi.

Semakin terpojok dengan tuduhan Aries, Souza pun sontak melaporkannya ke pihak yang berwajib pada hari Rabu (30/10’13). 2 hal utama yang dilaporkannya adalah perihal pencemaran nama baik dan ancaman yang diterima dirinya. Ia mengatakan bahwa semua bukti-bukti otentik termasuk sms ancaman yang belum dihapus sudah diberikan pihak Polisi untuk diperiksa. Tanpa ragu-ragu ia langsung membawa kasus ini ke Mabes Porli bersama Pengacaranya. Sedangkan hal lain yang dilaporkan Souza adalah perihal gaji 10 bulan bermainya yang belum dibayar pihak Perseman. Menurutnya, tuduhan-tuduhan yang tidak berdasar itu hanya akal-akalan Perseman yang mau cuci tangan. Penyebabnya, mereka belum membayar tunggakan gajinya yang sebesar 800 juta itu.

Saat ini, Souza sementara hijrah ke Bandung karena merasa khawatir akan keselamatan dirinya apabila terus menetap di Bantul. Bantul, Yogyakarta memang menjadi markas Perseman akhir-akhir ini. Kebetulan, Souza memang sudah bermukim di Bandung selama 4 tahun belakangan ini. Oleh sebab itulah, kasusnya pun dilaporkan disini dan akan diselidiki lebih lanjut oleh pihak Kepolisian Bandung.

"I'm confident in who I am. I've come to a place in my life where I've accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me," Gaga said.
"That's just the way I've always tried to be. It didn't change when I became a star."
The 27-year-old singer, who was just confident enough to strip down completely nude on stage during a London performance Saturday, went on to tell Cohen whether she considers herself beautiful.

"Not conventionally beautiful," she said.
"If there was some sort of mathematical equation for beauty, I don't know if I would be the algorithm. I've always been OK with that. I'm not a supermodel. That's not what I do. What I do is music. I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what's happening on the outside."

Lady Gaga

Gaga told the TV personality she has battled with eating disorders since she was 15 years old and explained that when it comes to her conflicting body image, "some days are better than others … some days I feel fantastic.”

"Today's good. At the end of the day, I'm a tortured soul," she said with a chuckle.
As far as her fearless fashion goes she revealed, "In some ways, the outfits — these creations — are because I don't want to face the reality of what people want from a female pop star."
"Everybody always laughs because I feel so much more comfortable with, like, a giant paper bag on my whole body and paint on my face," she continued.

"Sometimes I try really hard to take it all off. But inevitably what's underneath is still not a straight edge. And I don't think it ever will be."

Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, said she plays the part of both identities in her everyday life.
"I'm both all the time. Gaga and Stefani are my nicknames. I guess when people meet me for the first time and call me Stefani, it bothers me. Because it's something that's reserved for only the people who are closest to me. It's not because I don't like my given name; it's that I became somebody else. I became somebody else for a reason, you know. This is part of what my message is — you can become whoever you want to be, to escape your past."

The December "Women of the Year" issue of Glamour, featuring Lady Gaga, hits newsstands nationwide Nov. 5, just one day before her third studio album "Artpop" is released.

Chris Brown checks into rehab for anger managment after stint in jail over assault

Chris Brown

Daily Mirror Online - Chris Brown has checked into a rehab facility for anger management after allegations that he broke a man's nose landed him in jail, his lawyer said Tuesday.
"We talked today and he said, 'I want to take some time and do a little introspection and understand everything that's going on around me,'" lawyer Mark Geragos told the Daily News. "It was his decision, and he should be applauded."

If Brown is found in violation of his probation, he could face anywhere from more probation to several years in jail, sources say.

The prominent lawyer said the self-imposed stint was far from "an admission" of guilt with respect to allegations Brown punched a man over a fan photo in Washington, D.C.

"Why now? People have realizations at various times. Maybe sitting in a jail cell for 36 hours for something you didn't do is enough to rock you a bit," Geragos said.

Chris Brown flashes a peace sign after leaving the Washington, D.C., courthouse on Monday, and later thanked 'Team Breezy' on Twitter.

Geragos said Brown met with his probation officer earlier Tuesday and didn't limit the length of his rehab stay.
A source previously told The News Brown said his time behind bars "wasn't a pleasant experience."

The petulant performer is still on probation for his 2009 felony assault of Rihanna and could face more time in the pokey if his Los Angeles County judge decides he violated the terms of his no-jail plea deal.

It's 3am's alternative to the Mercury Music Prize! Check out our favourite stars from the world of pop

One Direction. We heart them

Daily Mirror Online - On Wednesday night a rather special event is happening - the 2013 Barclaycard Mercury Prize ceremony is taking place.

The prize giving itself is set to be a magical time and the super cool and trendy Lauren Laverne and Nick Grimshaw will be presenting the show while bands with strange names such as Desert Gorillas and Gliding Vultures (please note, these are completely made up) will be performing while we pretend to be super cool and know what's going on.

So, before the evening kicks off and we use up all our energy being all musically sophisticated, we thought we'd get a bit of silliness out by celebrating the music we love and generally spilling some words out onto the screen in front of your eyes in honour of some of our favourite musical stars after the Mercury people announced their Albums of the Year last month.

In no particular order...

One Direction
We all love a bit of One Direction, don't we? Well, that was a bit of a stupid question. Every human being worldwide has even just a little bit of love for the 1D lads. Before we even get to their music we've got likes of curly-haired Harry Styles being amazing with the ladies and super-hunk Liam Payne literally looking fitter by the minute. However, with songs like Live While We're Young and Kiss you on their last album Take Me Home and the excellently-named tune Best Song Ever on their upcoming release Midnight Memories, what's not to like? One Direction, welcome to our music hall of fame.

Katy Perry
Katy Perry holds a special place in our hearts. She's just a lovely lady who uses her voice to make sounds in our ears which are very nice indeed. But the lead single, Roar, from her latest album Prism is pretty amazing and fills us with delight. So, while she might not be singing about California Gurls anymore and has favoured the sounds of beasts, we had no choice but to chuck her on our list.

Beyonce
Ah, the one they call Bey-ons. The queeniest B of them all. She may not have released a new album since 2011 but we're still singing tracks from her 2008 album I Am... Sasha Fierce which shows Beyonce is a star who really is standing the test of time. So, Bey-bey, if we can call you that, we salute you!

Lady Gaga
Now, Lady Gaga may be one crazy lady sometimes but we love her for it. And not only does she keep us entertained with what she wears and the unusual things she does, she writes some great pop music which drills its way into our brains and makes us sing it on repeat. From the days of Poker Face to her recent release Applause, Gaga never disappoints. We're just looking forward to what she chooses to thrown on her body the next time she takes to the stage especially for us.

Little Mix
These wonderful humans were announced as the winners of the X Factor back in 2011 which is brilliant for us because they have been keeping us entertained with their musical excellence ever since. And it must be in their DNA (see what we did there?) to do so as these little firecrackers just keep going and going. Come on, you know you like to dance to a bit of Little Mix on a night out. Don't kid yourself!

Miley Cyrus
Ol' Miley is HOT right now. In fact, it's a good thing she spends a lot of the time across the pond or flying through the air on a plane because if we were to get anywhere near her we would definitely melt into a mess of molten skin and general human goop on the floor. Disgusting. But, how can the artist formerly known as Hannah Montana not make our list of special music stars when she swings around naked on a wrecking ball and does strange things with a foam finger while twerking?

Britney Spears
It's Britney b**ch! Oh, baby, baby has Britters been amazing to us. For many good reasons, and for some bad, we love this popstrel as if she were one of our own. Brit has had a tough ride over the years with the odd bit of head shaving and a couple of tours of Los Angeles petrol stations in search of public toilets while speaking in a bad British accent but we love her nonetheless. And with a recent visit to the UK plus her latest song Work B**ch, don't pretend you don't love her too.

Kanye West
Kanye West may not be to everyone's taste. Yes, he shouts at the paparazzi and seems to think he is a bit special. Well, A LOT special. But he does do a bit of rapping once in a while. However, to make our list in celebration of erm, a music awards ceremony, you don't have to be all about the tunes (yes, we know we're playing it a bit fast and loose here). In our eyes Kanye is amazing because he is the fiancé of Kueen of reality television Kim Kardashian. On a daily basis Kim brightens up our lives with her beauty and glamour and now Kanye is involved, the love they have for each other and themselves means our love for them is even stronger. Well done Kanye (and Kim)!

JLS
Ah JLS. They've kept us happy over the years but earlier this year they let us down by announcing their time was coming to an end as a band and they were due to go their separate ways in just a few months. SOB! However, the boys are special and do you know why? Because they think about their fans by giving us time to get over the split by not doing it right away. And before it happens we've still got an album of their greatest hits to look forward to. Thanks lads!

The Saturdays
The Saturdays are a bunch of legends simply because they pump out a lovely bit of classic pop. The girls may not be right in our faces all the time which is fair enough - a lot of them are off looking after their babies, being pregnant, or having a jolly old time with their husbands. Fair play to them. But, how can the girls not make our list when band member Una Healy does amazing things like rub her baby bump in the video recorded before the birth of her daughter for the group's song 30 Days while they are supposed to be speed.

Simon Cowell: One Direction's new Story Of My Life video is their best yet

Simon with the boys back in the day

Daily Mirror Online - X Factor USA judge Simon Cowell has tweeted that the video to One Direction's latest single Story Of My Life is the best one to date.

He also posted that he loved the record (SHOCK! They basically are his band so he's bound to like their music.).

He wrote: "I think the Story Of My Life is the best one d video yet. And I love the record."

Well, we bet the fans are pretty keen too.
The Best Song Ever singers premiered the track on October 25 and it took just two days for it to reach the top of the iTunes digital downloads chart.

It beat Lady Gaga's Venus to the top spot which just goes do show how adored those lovely lads are.

The Live While We're Young stars have also praised their own song and video, with Niall Horan saying that it was a "very passionate song."

Meanwhile, Liam Payne tweeted: "All ur messages are amazzzzing!! Can't believe so many of you are listening to Story Of My Life this week??"

Is it really that amazing, you are in the elite cult of celebrity and just so happen to be so super famous you are adored worldwide.

Big Six energy firm bosses branded cowards by MPs and told: Nobody trusts you

Big Six energy firm bosses branded cowards by MPs
and told: Nobody trusts you

Daily Mirror Online - Angry MPs shook their heads in disbelief yesterday as the Big Six energy firms trotted out excuses for this winter’s scandalous rise in charges.

The company executives blamed rising wholesale costs, distribution fees and green levies for their outrageous hikes.

But Labour’s John Robertson told them nobody would swallow that and asked them angrily: “Do you understand that the people in this country do not trust you?”

And furious colleague Ian Lavery reminded them of research, highlighted by the Mirror, showing their rises will kill thousands of the elderly this winter.

But it was another energy boss who really had them squirming.

Stephen Fitzpatrick, managing director of Ovo Energy, a small independent company, told MPs wholesale prices paid by him were actually falling.

“I can’t explain any of these price rises,” he said. “I have been somewhat confused by looking at the explanations for the price rises we’ve seen.”

Appearing alongside his much larger rivals at the Commons Energy select committee Mr Fitzpatrick accused the Big Six of ripping off loyal customers by putting them on higher tariffs and making them pay more of the green levies.

The Ovo boss said consumers who want to defect to him from firms like British Gas are immediately offered much cheaper rates to switch back.

He told the committee: “British Gas seems to be the most active with a dedicated win back team whose sole job it is to call people up and say ‘oh, there’s been a terrible mistake, we have been overcharging you and now we can cut your bill’.

“When this kind of behaviour is allowed to go unchallenged you will never get effective competition.” He also suggested firms which generate power as well as supplying homes are fleecing customers by selling it to themselves at a vastly inflated price before flogging it on. That was furiously denied by the execs with a blizzard of statistics.

But Mr Fitzpatrick told the MPs they would never find “where the money has gone” because the Big Six were among the “best filibusterers in the business”.

The firms were summoned before Parliament after four of the Big Six – npower, British Gas, Scottish Power and SSE – announced huge price rises
averaging 9.1% The remaining two, EDF and E.ON, refused to rule out rises this winter.

When asked by Mr Robertson how they would win customers’ trust back, William Morris, of SSE, said: “That is a really important question and I completely agree. But this British company, and their passion for doing the right thing is second to none.”

He also answered Mr Lavery’s charge that “there is the potential for 24,000 people to die because of the hikes of the energy prices by your companies”.

Complacent Mr Morris whose company has hiked prices by 8.2%, declared: “Fuel poverty worries me profoundly. There is nobody actually who should be in that position.”

The shameless executives defended their fatcat pay and bonuses as Labour MP Albert Owen pointed out the average British Gas bill has shot up 38% over last five years and at the same time the chief executive’s pay is up 36%.

But Ian Peters, managing director of the energy giant, brushed off the criticism insisting pay and bonuses were set by an independent committee. All the power chiefs insisted the best way to cut bills was to take off green levies and put them on general taxation instead, as proposed by David Cameron.

Tony Cocker, of E.ON, claimed the charges that total more than £100 amount to a “stealth tax”.

But Mr Lavery said the Big Six were ducking the real issue of making vast profits while struggling customers cannot afford to heat their homes.

He claimed that British Gas made more than £1billion, EDF £972million, E.ON £367million, npower £326million, Scottish Power £269million and SSE £780million.

Mr Morris hit back claiming that without the vast profits, the Big Six can’t operate their companies.

But Labour left-winger Mr Lavery said he and his friends were just making the case for putting the energy firms back into public ownership.

Even former Tory Cabinet minister Peter Lilley demanded to know why the companies should not be broken up into generators and retailers.

E.ON’s Tony Cocker called for a Competition Commission probe saying it would prove claims energy customers are being ripped off are wrong.

That was rejected by Labour leader Ed Miliband, who has plunged the industry and Government into panic by promising to fix prices for two years while the energy market is reformed.

Mr Miliband accused the Big Six of offering up a “list of excuses” at the hearing and insisted that “nothing less than a price freeze” will do.

He said: “What we’ve heard today was a list of excuses from energy companies. We don’t need more excuses, more reviews, what we need is action.”
