Viewers complained to the BBC, I posted news about this incident several days ago and mainstream media outlets have finally picked up on the story.

Chris Evans has been accused of racism after telling a black scientist he could not see her in a dim BBC studio.

The presenter told Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, a highly respected space expert and  government adviser: ‘I can barely see you, to be honest.’

The remark came after he mistakenly said she was Caribbean when she is of Nigerian descent. Continue Reading…..

I don’t know why Chris would just assume she was from the Caribbean and what did her nationality have to do with the topic being discussed????

Foolishness!

Jamelia

Tabloid rag The Sun reports that Jamelia has blasted police for constantly stopping and quizzing her over the car she drives.

An illegal immigrant being deported to Jamaica tried to slash his own throat on board a plane at Gatwick airport, it is understood.

The man was taken to hospital with “superficial injuries” shortly after boarding a Virgin Atlantic flight which was about to take off.

A UK Border Agency spokesman said an investigation was being launched into the incident.

The flight, VS69, has been delayed until 1245 BST on Tuesday. Continue Reading….

I feel sorry for the passengers and crew who were forced to witness this incident and are now stuck here because of the drama. 

The man is probably now hoping that his selfish act will force the authorities to tear up his deportation order.  If this is in fact the case then the fool can keep on dreaming.

Megan Fox

Via The Daily Mail

Steven Spielberg demanded Megan Fox be fired from the latest Transformers film after she insulted its director, it has been revealed.

The Hollywood legend was outraged after the screen beauty compared Michael Bay to Hitler during a press interview.

The 25-year-old actress was quickly dumped from the film and replaced by British model Rosie Huntingdon-Whitley. Continue Reading…

When Megan said that she had decided not to star in the third installment of Transformers I knew that was lie. After the Hitler remark I knew she had been pushed. But I always assumed that it was Michael Bay who did the firing.

Notice how we don’t really hear much about Megan or see her on the silver screen these days? That’s the power of the mighty Spielberg ensuring that she “never works in this town again!”.

Don’t upset Spielberg. He runs Hollywood.

According to your post (see insert below), you have stated that “cleaned up his image for some cash. PETA DOES NOT pay celebrities or individuals or organizations to participate in the campaigns. It is an honor one is giving to be part of their campaigns. So pls correct your wording, for it is falsehood on your part.

After I stopped laughing I replied that my sarcastic off the cuff remark would stay, and then I received this reply,

Considering your ” off the cuff/sarcastic remark “, it is in fact libelous. To be a non-bias journalist, you would keep your personal thoughts out. Obviously your not a serious journalist. Again your falsehood statement will be followed up by our legal dept then.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I don’t know WHO or WHAT gave them the impression that I was a “serious journalist” in the first place.  This is a BLOG, and along with the thousands of other bloggers out there I actively exercise my right of  freedom of speech on a daily basis and that will NEVER change.

And as for them getting their legal department involved – GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!

Idiots.

On Wednesday 15 June I attended the highly anticipated I’mPOSSIBLE Conversation, an event founded by the brilliant Simone Bresi-Ando for British women of colour (from all walks of life) to share their experiences in an intimate and friendly environment.

Each of the ladies on the panel were honest, encouraging and are all great inspirations. It was a fantastic event and I hope there will be more to come. After leaving the I’mPOSSIBLE Conversation I now feel more than ever that I can do and achieve anything that I put my mind to. Yes I am POSSIBLE too!

While discussing the planets and outer space with a guest (does anyone know her name) on the BBC One Show this evening, the guest tells hosts Chris Evans  and Alex Jones  that “there’s plenty out there for us to see but unfortunately not tonight”. Motor mouth Chris then replies “It’s terrible tonight. I can barely see you to be honest” [at mark 0.13].

Watch footage below.

So wrong. So awkward.

I suggest the One Show team checks their complaints email account first thing Monday morning. Something tells me that box is going to be full.

Hahaha!

I am a huge Holby City fan and this was a really good episode. I just thought the characters were in competition with each other, hence the constant arguing.  I had no idea there was more to it. Hahaha!

The BBC has defended broadcasting a kiss between two male Holby City characters.

Complaints were received from “some viewers” who thought that the scene in the BBC One hospital drama between Dan Hamilton (Adam Astill) and Antoine Malick (Jimmy Akingbola) was “inappropriate”.

The storyline saw tension between Dan and Malick result in a physical fight, which led to the surgeon kissing his openly gay colleague.

Responding to the complaints, the BBC stated: “Holby City aims to reflect real life in the setting of a medical drama and this means telling stories about characters from many different backgrounds, faiths, religions and sexualities. Continue Reading….

Holby City, Tuesday nights, BBC 1, 8pm

I look forward to seeing how this relationship develops.
