Don't worry - it's not going th last.
X-Factor people are 'famous' because they are in everyone's livingrooms for three months, so by osmosis, 'celebrity' rubs off on them.
After that, a little item called 'talent' is required - in order to sell records.
It's never enough simply to be odd, unusual, different, or geeky, and Jedward are all those in spades.
The novely lasts no time at all - so by march 2011, they will be a distant memory.
Remember all the talk of them presenting a childrens' TV show?
And that is where exactly?
Planet puff-piece, along with the rest of the disposable nonsense that makes up large chunks of our media.
Be patient - they are fading away as I write ...

It's all enthusiasm over longevity.
People get intoxicated by the novelty of acts like Jedward, as i said, because they are there week in and week out - but they are a very small part of an entertaining show.
Stand them alone without the umbrella appeal of the X Factor and the novelty fades almost instantly.
The media puff up these acts as the next big thing, when they are patently anything but, it's OK though, because the transitory nature of the novelty appeal is matched only by the voracious appitite of the public for something new almost immediately.
It has been a consistent theme of television and entertainment since Day One.
There are exceptions - Leona lewis, Alexandra Burke, Susan Boyle, but they are just that - exceptions - and they all have a degree of talent that means they actually sell records - and that is what matters.
Jedward lack even a semblence of talent in any area, and therefore their fall from novelty mountain will be swift and final - expect them to be distant memories by Christmas - especially as the current X factor hopefuls take over the attention of anyone who may have thought Jedward were at all appealing in the first place.
