The video to Jay-Z’s new single Run This Town featuring Rhianna and Kanye West premiered on MTV worldwide today.
I just watched the video and the amount of hype being generated by Jay’s label and MTV leading up to the premiere was in my humble opinion – UNNECESSARY!
Run This Town isn’t particularly spectacular and the warrior/Armageddon theme that runs through the video isn’t exactly original.
So why all the fuss, anticipation and countless teasers?
Oh stupid question! It’s because it’s a “mighty Hov” production.
I am old enough to remember when this type of hype for a video release was reserved for the likes of the late great Michael Jackson. But in MJ’s case the hype was always well deserved.
Kerry Katona has been dropped as the face of supermarket chain Iceland following allegations that she took cocaine.
The News Of The World published photographs and video footage of the 28-year-old mother allegedly showing her snorting the class A drug in her home in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
Iceland said that while the company had stood by the reality TV star during earlier personal difficulties, it was now “impossible” for her to continue in its advertising campaigns. Source
Kerry should have been dropped as the face of Iceland years ago.
Usain Bolt of Jamaica shattered his own world record in the 100 meters dash on Sunday with a time of 9.58 seconds at the World Championships in Berlin.
Bolt’s record was 11 tenths of a second faster than his previous world record of 9.69 seconds, which he set at last year’s Beijing Olympics.
In the eagerly awaited race, his closest rival was Tyson Gay of the U.S., who ran the race in 9.71 seconds. Source
9.58 seconds! Usain Bolt is a BEAST!!!
Congratulations!
