Should it come as any surprise that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, unelected but leader of Iran, is a Chris de Burgh fan? What is it about that news that makes it non-revelatory? It's equally as non-revelatory as finding out that Robert Mugabe is a Cliff Richard fan.

That one is less obvious, but all the others are explained by clicking the links above. Gaddafi Jnr is a Beyonce fan.
