UK MUSIC: TERRI WALKER – SO HARD

February 11, 2011 6 comments

UK songstress Terri Walker is back with the new single So Hard, which will be released on the 22 March.

Terri has a lovely voice but the producer of this track let her down. The production is weak and there’s something missing.

Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

A British woman has died after travelling to America for cosmetic surgery on her buttocks.

Claudia Aduseye Aderotimi who lived in North London, was taken to hospital in Philadelphia suffering from chest pain and having difficulty breathing following the operation on Monday.

The 20-year-old travelled to the US with three friends after arranging the surgery over the internet. Continue Reading….

I am shocked that somebody would arrange this over the Internet, without even bothering to check out the “surgeons” credentials, then travel to America and not even think to question why the procedure is not taking place in a certified sterilized clinic but in a HOTEL ROOM!!!

Via The Daily Mirror

In her last message on Twitter the day she had the jab Claudia tweeted: “I’m goooonneeeeee so faR away.” Popular Claudia, believed to be of Nigerian descent, had performed with hip-hop stars Akon and Sisqo.

She used the stage-name Claudiyah “Superstar” James, and said on a website: “I’m really interested in becoming a full-time actress and model. I also dance and write music.

“I truly believe I can take the world by storm – I just need an agent.” She also boasted that rap star 50 Cent had called her an “African princess”.

Claudia’s devastated family were still coming to terms with the tragedy at their home in Hackney, East London, as they arranged for her body to be flown home. Continue Reading….

What a complete waste of a young life.

Rest In Peace Claudia Aduseye Aderotimi.

BBC Radio 1 DJ  Tim “The Big Dawg” Westwood has flown out to entertain  British troops in Afghanistan.

The DJ took a tour of Camp Bastion, visiting the hospital and the workshops of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.

He finished his day by playing a few tunes for diners in the Bastion cookhouse.

Click HERE to watch “Big Dawg” Tim hanging out with the troops.

Listening to Drake and Nicki Minaj on continuous loop while Tim drops sound effect bombs over the tracks must have been absolute torture for the troops.

IDIOT OF THE DAY: WOMAN WHO TRIED TO AIRMAIL DOG ACROSS AMERICA LOSES HER BID TO GET IT BACK

Stephanie Champion testifies in court

A mother who sealed a puppy in a cardboard box to airmail it to her son for his 11th birthday has been told she cannot have the dog back.

Stacey Champion, 39,  faces animal cruelty charges after trying to send four-month-old Guess as ‘a high priority’  parcel from Minneapolis to Atlanta, Georgia, without food, water, or airholes.

Despite her impending trial, Champion still tried to regain custody of Guess at a hearing on Monday – but officer Fabian Hoffner ruled against her, branding her behaviour ‘disgraceful’. Continue Reading…

This woman is clearly sick in the head. What an idiot!  Who in their right mind would do something like this?

Had that parcel reached its destination, her son would have received a dead puppy on his 11th birthday.

This woman deserves at least twenty bitch licks to the skin for blatant stupidity.

VIDEO: ‘BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES’ TEASER

February 9, 2011 Leave a comment

Check out the short teaser for singer Toni Braxton’s new “reality” show Braxton Family Values.

Looks like it’s going to be the usual scripted “reality” fare….

Toni should still be singing, touring and making hit records. But I guess huge debts and being declared bankrupt AGAIN will force you to go down this tedious road.

UK TV /PROMO: NEW “REALITY” TV SHOW – ‘LONDON LADIES’

February 8, 2011 22 comments

London Ladies is a new “reality” TV show which  focuses on the lives of four professional women who live in the capital, each hoping to find love.

Check out the promo below spotted over at The Lala Report.

By the looks of things this show has yet to be picked up by a major TV network. Unless an executive from BEN TV decides to air the pilot/full season of London Ladies, the girls might just have to make do with posting episodes on YouTube.
