UK NEWS: CHERYL COLE VISITS TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN

September 14, 2011

Cheryl Cole is at a loose end these days.  She is currently unemployed and the British public seem to be losing interest in her.  I have also noted that her annoying L’Oreal commercials haven’t aired on TV for sometime now.

UK MUSIC: IKES – TAILORMADE

September 13, 2011

Check rapper Ikes’ single video/single Tailormade taken from his mixtape ‘The Intermission’, a collaboration with US DJ, Infamous, which was released late last year. …………………………….. I don’t think this single has the potential to become a major hit, but it’s not bad. The video – It’s  decent enough and you can see some thought went in to making it. It also looks slick and the woman who plays his love interest is very attractive. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?
