WHO you gonna call... to vote for?
Terrible twins John and Edward Grimes are set to sing the Ghostbusters theme tune for this week's X Factor.
There's something strange .... twins to sing Ghostbusters
The duo - who The Sun revealed stacked up the most votes on the show the week before last - are said to be tackling the famous Eighties' tune for this weekend's songs from the movies theme.
Last week head judge Simon Cowell told them their Halloween get up was like the "Night of the Living Dead".
This week's performance is bound to be otherworldly...

Pop icon Britney Spears has thrown her weight behind X Factor twin terrors John and Edward and proclaimed that sheâs âa huge Jedward fanâ, according to reports.
The 3 star has apparently been in "fits of laughter" while watching online video - on STV perhaps? - of John and Edward covering her hit song Oops! I Did It Again on The X Factor on the second live show (which you can see here).
A source said of Britney's viewing habits: "She has been watching all their performances on the internet - she is a huge Jedward fan.
"Britney thinks it's hilarious to see them up there singing her song and doing all the dance moves.â
Now it turns out that Britney and the Grimes twins may even team up together when she takes to the road again.
The source added: âShe wants to meet them and has even suggested getting them on stage with her when she tours again for a bit of fun.
âBritney is supporting them big time and wants them to go all the way and win the show."
Itâs been rumoured that John and Edward twins are set to tackle the Ghostbusters theme tune on this Saturdayâs edition of The X Factor
Jedward fans target Cowell offices
The "Jed We Can" campaign championing 'X Factor' contestants John and Edward Grimes has been cranked up a notch.
ITN reports that self-styled "Jed Mania" campaigners waved banners outside Simon Cowell's offices and played the double act's rendition of the Britney Spears hit 'Oops... I did it again' from loudspeakers as they chanted about how much they love the pair.
They also projected the twins' faces onto the building where Cowell's SyCo company is based.
The stunt comes as the house where the 'X Factor' finalists are staying is under siege from fans who cannot get enough of the pair.
The "Jed We Can" campaign already boasts celebrities such as Lily Allen in its ranks but are set to add a potential British leader as well. ITN quotes sources as saying that UK politician David Cameron has already ordered a "Jed We Can" t-shirt and intends to wear it soon.
Queen guitarist a fan of Jedward
05/11/2009 - 12:44:24âX Factorâ group Jonathan and Edward Grimes have received praise from an unlikely source - Queen guitarist Brian May.
The Irish twins â who performed the groupâs âWe Will Rock Youâ on last Saturdayâs show - have been given the seal of approval by Brian May, the legendary guitarist who wrote and recorded the original track.
Speaking at the Marshall Classic Rock Roll of Honour awards, May said: âDo you know what â Iâm very happy theyâre doing the show and they put so much effort and life into it.
âI think: 'God Bless âem'. It was a great production, very impressive, good luck to them.â
As well as supporting the twins, the only group left in the competition, he also defended their lack of vocal ability.
Brian added: âItâs not the worst singing Iâve ever heard, and Iâve heard some bad singing in my time!â
Jonathan and Edward escaped a place in the showâs bottom two acts for the third time on Sunday when Rachel Adedeji was voted off the show.
The twins are set to perform Ray Parker Jrâs theme from the film âGhostbustersâ on Saturdayâs movie-themed show.
Meanwhile âX Factorâ judge Simon Cowell â who has previously branded Jonathan and Edward âvileâ â is plotting to seal their fate by demanding they sing a slow song, which will expose the shortcomings of their vocal range.
He said: âItâs going to show in the weeks to come if they do a ballad. Then the public will decide if they should stay.â

Very true Hicky. I think most who are voting for them, are just doing it for fun I doubt any of them would buy their single or album.
I just don't know where this saga is going to end.
But it's becoming an embarrassment for the show, no doubt.
Although I don't watch XFactor, I like the twins. I know they are not talented in the conventional sense, but they are exciting to watch. I am following them now, so I suppose that makes me a TWAT. Can I join?
I love watching their youthful exuberance and it's much better watching someone like them who can entertain you, rather than some dreary ballad singer who just stands there and bores the backside off you. David Cameron likes them too, apparently. So, if Gordon Brown doesn't like them does that make it political haha.
