March 2, 2011

Last week the government revealed new adoption guidelines that will now make it easier for couples to adopt children from different ethnic backgrounds, and say that race should no longer be a “deal-breaker” in adoption cases.  Click HERE to read more about this decision if you missed it. As expected the release of the new guidelines sparked major debate.

UK NEWS: ACTOR RICKY WHITTLE “LANDS HOLLYWOOD DEAL”

March 1, 2011

The Daily Star reports that former Hollyoaks and Strictly Come Dancing star Ricky Whittle has signed a major deal and has moved to Hollywood. The actor who is apparently now living in a ‘luxurious home in the Hollywood Hills’ told the newspaper, “I’ve just signed a massive deal. I’m desperate to tell [everyone] about it but it’s top secret.” I think Ricky should have kept this news to himself. So many British actors/actresses have made the mistake of blabbing to the tabloid press, telling […]

March 1, 2011

JLS star Aston Merrygold revealed a new hairstyle last month that sent shock waves throughout the black community.

Many are now speculating that Aston is using the ‘popular’ hair relaxing brand Dark & Lovely, and that it’s only a matter of time before he becomes their official spokesmodel.     Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! This has given me my first big belly laugh of the day. Image spotted @ Soul Culture and I Am The Nu […]
