Israeli singer Shiri Maimon on Thursday evening got through to the finals of the 50th Eurovision Song Contest after an exhilarating performance with her song 'Hasheket Shenishar', at the semi-final stage. Maimon was one of 10 artists who were distilled among 25 contestants at the semi-final in a packed Sports Palace in Ukrainian capital of Kiev. The final will be held in Kiev on Saturday night. Maimon will appear eleventh in the running order of 24 countries. Advertisement Maimon grew up in Kiryat Haim and entered the entertainment business as a young child. After completing her military service in the Air Force's entertainment troupe, Maimon achieved fame when she came in second in the first season of the television blockbuster "A Star Is Born." She handily took first place in the national competition in March to select Israel's song for Eurovision.

ET, I'm glad to see you are scouring the planet to feed the freepers eye candy! See looks yummy, but should lose the Mariah Carey haircut.

Other than that, quite lovely and even has a hint of Diana Rigg from the Avengers TV show, who is in Pissant's hall of fame for lovely lasses.

Thanks.
