VACANCY: QUEEN ELIZABETH II SEEKS SENIOR GARDENER

The Evening Standard reports that HRH Queen Elizabeth II is having difficulty finding a senior gardener to tend to her lawns. In October the post of “senior gardener” was advertised on the royal household website.

Soooooo…. if you are currently out of work during these difficult times, green fingered and love the outdoors then CLICK HERE []

LINDSAY LOHEN COVERS PLAYBOY MAGAZINE

Poor Lindsay Lohan.. is this what it’s come to??? The woman staring back at me doesn’t even look like Lindsay. The once A-List actress was apparently paid $1million but I actually think she was paid a lot less. Agreeing to pose naked for tacky Playboy these days ( along with appearing in a  “structured reality” show) is a last ditch attempt to raise  ones profile and to pay the bills/mortgage. This is just sad.

VIDEO: X-FACTOR USA CONTESTANT VOTED OUT… THEN COMES THE HIGH “DRAMA”

13 year X-Factor USA contestant Rachel Crowe was voted off the show last night.. and then this happened… …. X-Factor USA should perhaps think about introducing an age limit to avoid scenes like this. It’s almost as if Rachel isn’t used to hearing the word “NO” in her household and used to getting her own way. I acknowledge the fact that she is still a child and at that age I would expect to see a few tears and the look of []

LICKY LICKY ANTICS: WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SCORE POINTS WITH A CELEBRITY FAILS

The superstar that is Beyonce recently set the record straight over pointless reports that she has strange pregnancy cravings. The singer said, “I was on a plane and the flight attendant came and was like, I have your hot sauce and pickles and bananas. I’m like, that is disgusting! What are you doing? And he’s like, I read it on the internet!” Hahahahaha *shaking my head* The flight attendant deserves to be flogged and then fired for being an idiot and a major kiss arse. On this occasion []
