April 11, 2013

Sports apparel giant Reebok has bowed down to pressure and ended their partnership with rapper Rick Ross. Reebok issued the following statement: “Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand.  Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so.

MALAWI GOVERNMENT FALLS OUT OF LOVE WITH MADONNA

April 11, 2013

Well..well..well…. it sounds like Malawi’s “love affair” with Madonna has run its course. When the multi-millionaire superstar visited the African nation some years ago, adopted two Malawian-born children, spoke of starting a charity (later called ‘Raising Malawi’) and then started to fund the building of schools in the region, the government were quick to roll out the red carpet (like her name was Queen Elizabeth II). But now BBC News reports that government officials have fallen out of love with Madge. It is claimed that the star complained after she and her entourage were stripped of […]

Yesterday The Daily Telegraph closed their online comment section because of the abuse aimed at Thatcher and […]

INTERESTING TRACK OF THE DAY: ‘ACCIDENTAL RACIST’ ( BRAD PAISLEY FT LL COOL J)

April 9, 2013

Check out country singer Brad Paisley’s rather bizarre duet with Hip Hop pioneer LL Cool J. Brad tackles the subject matter of racism in the deep south ( where he is from) and defends his right to wear a T-Shirt with the Confederate flag on it, and LL then jumps in and raps about gold chains and doo-rags. Hahahahahahahaha. [Thanks Marissa] What possessed them to record this single together and then release it in to the public domain? Your thoughts please….

FORMER PRIME MINISTER MARGARET THATCHER DIES

April 8, 2013

The BBC reports that former prime minister Baroness Thatcher has died. She was 87 years old. Her spokesman Lord Bell issued the following statement: “It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning.” Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. I have always found her strangely fascinating. She was as hard as nails. I look forward to watching the up […]
