October 11, 2013

Cosmetic Chemistry Connections is a new initiative launching on October 30 that has been set up to encourage young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to study chemistry at University. We live in a beauty obsessed world which is ruled by advances in beauty products and treatments where not a week goes by without the launch of a new anti-ageing cream or Botox treatment. Unfortunately this is not reflected in the classroom where girls trail behind boys in STEM (science, technology, engineering) subjects. Cosmetic Chemistry Connections is the brainchild of Madeka Panchoo, Managing […]

October 10, 2013

After clashing with Kanye West over his annoying interview with BBC Radio’s Zane Lowe, weeks later Jimmy Kimmel invites the rapper on to his show, rolls over and blows smoke up the rapper’s backside.

And all this talk about meeting Kanye at a friend’s wedding some years back and Kanye taking a picture with his father blah blah… WHO CARES JIMMY. As for fake revolutionary Kanye … Still begging recognition from […]

The woman has been quite vocal about her dislike for black men. Anyway I swear Baby would sign a pile of horse manure to his label if he thought it would make him money and that cretin Lil Wayne would record a single with it. … Nah […]
