UK NEWS: THE NEWS OF THE WORLD PAINTS A NEGATIVE IMAGE OF SOUTH AFRICA BEFORE 2010 WORLD CUP

December 14, 2009

The British mainstream media will never change. This is a disgrace. South Africa will host the 2010 football World Cup, and the “delightful” News Of The World has decided to take it upon themselves to “warn” English fans about the host nation. I’m not sure if the writer of this article ( Sophy Ridge) knows this but there are people living with AIDS/HIV all over the world. And credit card fraud and scams also take place all over the world not just in Africa! […]

VIDEO: BLAST FROM THE PAST 90s R&B CONCERT

December 14, 2009

The Blast From The Past R&B concert took place at the Philips Arena on Friday (December 10th) and Dru Hill, Changing Faces, Troop, Blackstreet, K-CI & JoJo, Guy, Next, and Jagged Edge performed on the night. Check out K-CI…. This has to be karma for the way he treated Mary J Blige all those years ago… Oh dear….. I would have loved to have seen female duo Changing Faces. I was a fan but have to admit that those girls could not […]

UK NEWS: OK! MAGAZINE APOLOGISES FOR NOEL CLARKE AND KANO “MIX UP”

December 12, 2009

Earlier on today I asked OK! Magazine if they thought that all black men looked alike, because they posted a story on their website about actor/director Noel Clarke, and then posted a photograph of UK rapper Kano to go with the article.  If you missed it then click here to take in the hilarity of it all.   Since then OK! have corrected their mistake and issued an apology to an annoyed Noel…. via TWITTER.  @noelclarke No excuses Noel. Our pic agency let us down but it should have been […]

UK NEWS: OK! MAGAZINE – DO ALL BLACK MEN LOOK ALIKE???

December 12, 2009

  OK! Magazine has posted the news on their website that actor, producer and director Noel Clarke is going back to school to direct a Christmas Navity play. However members from the OK! team don’t really seem to know who Noel  is or what he looks like. If they did then they would not have posted a photograph of UK rapper KANO with this story. To quote the words of James Moran  “black guy with stubble, close enough eh?” Click here to view the story. This is absolutely hilarious! […]

UK MUSIC: CHOONG FAMILY – ‘GOODBYE GIRL’

December 11, 2009

I thought that this group had split up some years ago. Anyway check out Choong Family’s new track Goodbye Girl. Goodbye Girl is pleasant enough but it also sounds quite dated.   Like the folk over at Ragggs.com I find myself asking the question, “are they still living in 2004???” The video – Standard video model of choice in the UK and the ending confused me. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

  Jamelia is set to appear as a judge on the BBC3 show Move Like Michael Jackson, alongside his brother Jermaine ‘opportunist’ Jackson.  She told Digital Spy, “I’m helping to choose the dancer who goes on to represent us at the Michael Jackson tribute show. I absolutely love Michael Jackson so it’s a real honour to be involved, especially as Jermaine Jackson’s one of my fellow judges. What also grabbed me about the show was the opportunity to show people how much talent we actually have in this […]
