Jeremy Clarkson just confirmed our report about there being no more Top Gear until 2013 is true, although the reason is not the Olympics. It's Simon Cowell.

It appears that The Tall One, The Loud One, the real Jeremy Clarkson, the host of Top Gear, the Jezza himself has broken down and signed up for Twitter. The account is @jcrclarksonesq and he's accrued nearly 100,000 followers in just three days. UPDATE!

Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson is not the most frequent visitor to Twitter, which makes his discovery of the art form known as fake celebrity tweets that much more enjoyable. What would he twat if he could get his blood sausage-sized fingers to type?

The popular BBC motoring show Top Gear returns for its 15th season on June 27th, so set your BT client for around 1:00 AM June 28th to catch three cranky Brits enjoying totally rubbish motorhomes. (H/T to wox42!) [FinalGear]
