NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE WRITER’S PROFILE ON ‘SINGER’ M.I.A CAUSES UPSET
This article has given me my first big laugh of the day. New York Times Magazine contributor Lynn Hirschberg has written an article about British “artist” M.I.A (real name Maya Arulpragasam), which has hilariously forced the grossly over-rated star to retaliate via her Twitter account, by childishly posting Hirschberg’s mobile number to her adoring followers. I doubt Hirschberg gives a toss Maya. Click here to read extracts from the article, and if you have time to spare the article in it’s entirety HERE. Maya you seriously need to get over herself luv. You really […]
ALICIA KEYS AND PRODUCER SWIZZ BEATZ EXPECTING BABY / DUE TO WED IN THE SUMMER
It’s been officially announced that singer Alicia Keys is expecting her first child, and will marry her lover producer Swizz Beatz in the summer. Congratulations to them both. I wish them both the best of luck.
UK FILM: 4.3.2.1 REVIEW
I recently attended the press screening for the highly anticipated new British film 4.3.2.1, starring Noel Clarke, Emma Roberts, Adam Deacon, Tasmin Egerton, Shanika Warren-Markland and Ophelia Lovibond. 4.3.2.1 follows the lives of four best friends who become involved in a major diamond heist. A much put upon and harassed Joanne (Emma Roberts) works shifts in a 24 hour supermarket. A job she clearly despises and you get the impression that she doesn’t have much of a social life. Kerrys (Shanika Warren-Markland) is a strong, outspoken, […]
50 CENT LOSES A SHOCKING AMOUNT OF WEIGHT FOR A NEW FILM ROLE
This photograph shocked me. I didn’t believe that this was Curtis Jackson (aka old Fiddy) at first. Wow…. Via PunchBowl Blog I know he’s lost all the weight for a film role, but it’s still damn right foolish and reckless.
VIDEO: INTRODUCING….. THE NEW BAD BOY FAMILY
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs recently unveiled the “new Bad Boy family” and the only artist on today’s Bad Boy roster that’s worth a bean is the talented/beautiful Janelle Monae. It’s all so fake….. Can somebody please tell me why Cassie is still signed? Actually ignore that question… I know why.
SOUTH AFRICAN SINGER DIES BEFORE HE WAS TO OPEN THE WORLD CUP
Via The Mail Online A singer dubbed the ‘Black Pavarotti’ died yesterday – just over a fortnight before he was due to open the World Cup alongside Nelson Mandela. South African Siphiwo Ntshebe, 34, had been chosen by President Mandela to perform at the World Cup opening ceremony, with his signature anthem entitled Hope. The track even features President Mandela speaking, which is the first time he has lent his voice to a record. Continue Reading….. This is so sad. Rest In […]
UK MUSIC: SWAY FT DONAE’O – ‘POP A BOTTLE’
Rapper Sway’s new single featuring Donae’O Pop A Bottle is your typical “urban” mainstream track designed to infiltrate the UK single chart. It will sell. Donae’O sings he wants a “Coca Cola bottle shape”. Singing about wanting a woman with a Coca Cola bottle shape is so Reggae/Dancehall circa ‘1992’. The video – Well it’s not particularly original. Woman dancing in a nightclub, champagne and silhouette shots. Yeah seen it all before. Pop A Bottle will be released July 12th on iTunes. […]
UK NEWS: FILM CRITIC MARK KERMODE VERSES ‘ACTOR’ DANNY DYER
This brought on tears of laughter last night. Those of you familiar with British “actor” (and I use the term loosely) Danny Dyer will like me find this absolutely hilarious. For those of you out there who aren’t so familiar with Danny Dyer, he hails from London, has been acting for YEARS (since he was a child), plays the same character in every film (cockney rogue) and over exaggerates his off-screen persona by over doing it with the East-End ‘wide boy’ swagger and cockney slang/accent. Danny recently threatened […]
UK TV: RAPPER TINIE TEMPAH APPEARS ON TONIGHT WITH JONATHAN ROSS / JAY-Z CLONE
Last Friday I tuned in to Tonight With Jonathan Ross and watched rapper Tinie Tempah perform with the Gorillaz. What I witnessed stunned me! Tinie had turned in to Jay-Z and stole Jay’s stage persona for the evening. It was actually embarrassing to watch. At one point I kept thinking is Tinie joking? Is he doing this deliberately? I understand that a lot of UK rappers look up to Jay and cite him as being a major influence, but this was just […]
