‘STUNT’ OF THE DAY: WOMAN IN LINE FOR £50K JOB AFTER TWITTER PLEA
When I first heard about this I thought it was a random individual who had been struggling financially and had been unemployed for sometime. But it turns out the “random” lives in one of the wealthiest and affluent areas in London (Notting Hill), has links to the media industry and is dating Harry Cole (who she supposedly met on Twitter) a journalist and contributing editor to popular political magazine The Spectator.
A woman who found her boyfriend on Twitter is now a candidate for a £50,000-a-year job after tweeting for work.
Sarah Douglas put out a 140-character plea to possible employers after she struggled to find a job through conventional applications.
Ms Douglas, 23, from Notting Hill, was amazed by the response when she was re-tweeted hundreds of times and her name started trending.
She said: “I was getting a bit depressed with my search for work and put something on Twitter on the spur of the moment. I am taken aback by the response but I guess if you can find a boyfriend on Twitter there is no reason why you can’t find a job on Twitter, too.”
Her message read: “Dear Twitter, I am looking for a job. I’ve got experience as a PA, editorial assistant, picture researcher & junior PR. Can anyone help?”
She said she would take any position as long as she was earning £18,000 a year or more, adding: “Basically happy to do absolutely anything and I am very good at telling people you’re in a meeting so you don’t have to talk to them.”
Within hours she had a dozen interviews lined up. Among those who responded was Stuart McSorley, chairman of Bishopsgate-based BP2M Holding Group, a consultancy company and investment group. Continue Reading..
Hmmmm……… This story sounds a little suspect. It wouldn’t surprise me if it turns out that old Sarah here works for Twitter’s publicity and marketing department.
VIDEO: WHITNEY HOUSTON’S FORMER SISTER-IN-LAW ACCUSES SINGER RAY-J OF SUPPLYING THE STAR WITH DRUGS
Whitney Houston’s former sister-in-law Leolah Brown appeared on the Dr Drew show yesterday and accused singer/Whitney’s alleged boyfriend Ray-J (the brother of singer Brandy Norwood) of supplying the star with drugs.
Via PunchBowl Blog
I wondered how long it would be before Leolah started yapping again. She was the one responsible for exposing (via The National Enquirer) Whitney’s excessive drug use to world.
But there is something so desperate and suspect about Ray-J that it wouldn’t surprise me if these accusations turned out to be true.

VIDEO: HOLLYWOOD DIES DIGITALLY TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR WORLD AIDS DAY
Several days ago I posted news on the dubious campaign set up by singer Alicia Keys to help raise awareness for World AIDS Day. Click HERE to read if you missed it.
Punchbowl Blog reports that tomorrow (1 December) Hollywood will die digitally to raise awareness for World AIDS Day. A-list celebrities who have Twitter accounts will ”sacrifice” yes that’s right “SACRIFICE” tweeting until $1 million is raised to buy their digital lives back.
I bet they spent thousands of dollars on this off-key campaign. They should have donated the money to an AIDS charity where it would have done some good.
All I can do right now is laugh at the high-profile/extremely wealthy celebrities “sacrificing their digital lives”. Why not just donate $1 million dollars each and put an end to this charade.
PRODUCER SOLAR SPEAKS OUT OVER LETTER BACKLASH
AllHiphop.com reports that producer Solar has addressed the mounting speculation over the controversial / suspect letter (Click HERE to read) that was sent out this morning along with a press release, which announced the death of the legendary rapper Guru (real name Keith Elam).
Guru lost his long fight against cancer yesterday (April 19th).
Solar tweeted,
“Guru made this statement from his own mouth and anybody saying different is insane with Hate!”
It was totally inappropriate of him to issue a letter of this nature along with the shocking news of Guru’s death. Solar in my opinion is a nasty piece of work with an agenda set.
I still believe that there is something suspect about that letter.
Rest In Peace Guru.
UK NEWS: GRIME DAILY SHOOTING UPDATE: ACCORDING TO THE SUN NEWSPAPER MODEL / PRESENTER WAS TARGET
Yes according to that tabloid rag The Sun model, TV presenter and I quote “TV rap girl” Donatella Panayiotou, 26, was the main target when gunmen walked in to The Grime Daily 1st anniversary party this past weekend and sprayed the place with bullets.
Via The Sun
A MODEL and TV presenter narrowly cheated death when a machine-gun nut shot three revellers at a rap gig she organised.
“It” girl Donatella Panayiotou, 26, was near the DJ booth when the maniac opened fire.
Donatella – thought to be the target – was next to a 23-year-old man who was blasted four times in the chest and buttocks.
A woman, 21, and another man, 24, were also hit. All three victims were last night serious but stable in hospital.
Specialist Radio 1 DJs and UK grime music acts were among 600 clubbers who ran for cover at a warehouse owned by Donatella’s dad in Colindale, North West London, at about 4am on Sunday.
A witness said: “The gunman was aiming for Donatella. I’m amazed she wasn’t killed.
“He just pulled out his gun and started firing at the DJ booth. People were almost trampling on each other to get out. Women were screaming.” Donatella was found hiding in a cupboard.
Donatella, whose dad Angelo is a millionaire club boss, was in ITV documentary Young, Posh And Loaded. She has appeared on MTV, GMTV and in ITV’s Loose Women.
Pals believe the shooting was revenge for an act of “disrespect”.
Donatella runs an influential online guide to the urban music scene, and friends claim an act she refused to feature was behind the shooting. Continue Reading….
[Thanks FR and Shach]
I’m having a hard time believing that those scum bags were targeting Donatella. It sounds like her publicist ( and Donatella) contacted The Sun / The Metro and to gain some publicity cooked up this story around the incident so that the spotlight shines on Donatella.
Forget about the victims just put some shine on the “TV rap girl”.
A witness said: “The gunman was aiming for Donatella. I’m amazed she wasn’t killed.
Oh please! I smell BS!
I wish the VICTIMS well and both a speedy recovery.
