The Brit Awards 2012 took place in London several hours ago and it was a snorefest. The ceremony was drier than stale bread and the audience made up of industry folk lacked enthusiasm as usual. The tributes to Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse (Rest In Peace) were both pitiful. I don’t even know what that was. Bruno Mars gave the best performance. Well done Bruno! I am still trying to understand why Olly Murs and Rizzle Kicks were invited to perform. Rapper/’singer’ […]

Boxer Dereck Chisora confronted David Haye (I thought he had retired from boxing) during this post-fight press conference. … Hahahahahahahahaha – Buffoons! But a part of me thinks that this brawl was staged to introduce Haye back in the ring.

Singer Whitney Houston’s funeral took place today in her hometown of Newark, New Jersey. Among the mourners were Oprah Winfrey, R.Kelly, Mary J Blige, Kevin Costner and Mariah Carey. I watched the entire service on CNN. It was uplifting but also heartbreaking. I still cannot believe that Whitney has left us so tragically at the age of 48. The star will be buried tomorrow. Rest In Peace Whitney Elizabeth Houston. Click HERE to view photographs.

Read the email below. I will spare the gentleman the embarrassment by opting to not include his name and company details (which […]

Laga’aia, an actor of Samoan descent who played the Rev Elijah Johnson, backed calls for commercial television to end its “white Australia” policy. “As someone who lost his job on H&A because they couldn’t write two ethnics that weren’t together, I’d […]
