Twin Tuesday: Jedward are just the latest twins to rock the X Factor!

Art at the double: Tate Modern wants twins

ARE you an identical twin? Fancy taking part in an art exhibition at the Tate Modern? (or as The Guardian puts it sitting in front of a pair of Damien Hirst's spot paintings while people look at you.)

The museum is appealing for pairs of identical twins to get in touch as it announced details of this year's big autumn show, Pop Life: Art in a Material World, examining Andy Warhol's declaration that "good business is the best art". It's to be held in October.

According to the Independent, the exhibition, three years in the planning, will also look at more modern day artists at their most "self-aggrandising."

Twins and Eurovision: double the talent!

ACCORDING to this piece, twins loom large in this year's Eurovision once again, even if these sisters fell at the last hurdle before getting there.

The above video is of twin sisters Sophie and Magaly who charmed the Eurovison audience back in 1980 with Papa Pingouin, ending in a respectable 9th place, before going on to have a massive hit in their native France.

More than a million YouTube hits for twins' 'human mirror'

WHAT do you reckon to this? The consensus on YouTube seems to be that it's pretty awesome!

Check out some more "awesome" (and cute) videos of twins, triplets and more here.

From X Factor to Eurovision hopefuls: What next for The Twins?

THIS sister act has been around for a while, hasn't it?

They come across as lovely, warm girls - perfect say for kids' TV, but they're not Eurovision material really, are they?

Or perhaps I should say they could be, if the competition this year wasn't so strong.

Personally, I find it a tiny bit annoying to see them encouraged to flag up how they feel they 'are the same person' - as they do in the video below. But I understand that's how these things work.

And here's how they did on X Factor:

Diamond anniversary for twins who swapped boyfriends

I'M a miserable old so and so who usually mutters under her breath when reading any media reports which concern well-worn themes of twins hoodwinking a) teachers b) driving instructors or c) their 'love interest.'

But this piece from the BBC is a delight. It tells the story of two sisters, Hettie and Iris Beazley and how they fell for each other's fella. (D'you see what I did there?)
Anyway, good on 'em. May there be many more happy years to come.

Sisters mark milestone as one of UK's first sets of 'test tube' twins

Now there's a party that's worth having!

Identical triplets test sunglasses...but who will look the best?

THE Gregory triplets are Eliot, Julian and Ryan, 24.

The clip above is from the Gadget Show. Personally I think they all look great. Three gorgeous men and Blackpool Pleasure Beach - sounds like a perfect combination to me.
