EMINEM RECEIVES AN UNPLEASENT SURPRISE AT THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

I was on Twitter last night and happened to come across a tweet from singer/actor Tyrese who attended the MTV Movie Awards. A highly amused Tyrese tweeted that Emimen “was pissed and just walked out”. Now I can see why……. Via EW Did Eminem know he would be getting a face full of Sacha Baron Cohen’s bare butt cheeks? We’ll have to investigate. You gotta wonder why he would’ve stuck around at this awards show otherwise. But then again, are he and his bodyguards such good actors? (Props []

BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT: SUSAN BOYLE ADMITTED IN TO HOSPITAL, WINNERS DIVERSITY STILL BEING IGNORED BY THE BRITISH MEDIA

It has been reported today that Britain’s Got Talent runner up Susan Boyle has been admitted in to a clinic suffering from exhaustion and has allegedly been sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who clearly doesn’t have enough to do, a country to run, or thieving politicians to fire, appeared on GMTV this morning and disclosed that he had spoken to judges Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan to check on Susan’s progress. He then added, “I hope Susan Boyle []

SAVE RISE FESTIVAL PETITION

Rise Festival was a London event set up by the Trades Union Congress in 1996 as a music event to promote anti-racism. The original event took part in Finsbury Park, north London, featuring artists Chumbawumba, Fun-Da-Mental, Asian Dub Foundation and Incognito and was held again the following year in East London’s Victoria Park in Hackney.

DIVERSITY WIN BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT BUT RUNNER UP SUSAN BOYLE RACKS UP THE COLUMN INCHES

Andrew over at The Worst Kept Secret pointed out today that even though street dance troupe Diversity took home ‘The Britain’s Got Talent’ crown last night, it’s runner up Susan Boyle’s face that can be seen splashed across the front pages of all the newspapers today. Susan comes across as being a lovely woman but she didn’t win the competition. Diversity did. The media coverage should therefore be focused on them NOT the runner up! But this is just typical of the []

UK MUSIC: MZ BRATT – ‘WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?’

This is the official video for Mz Bratt’s debut single ‘Who Do You Think You Are’. The video has a number of featured cameo’s, but as most of you already know, I don’t really pay that much attention to what goes on within the world of UK ‘urban’ entertainment, so I only recognise one or two faces… and Mz Bratt. (lol) I actually like this track. I think it’s really catchy, and something that I would play in the summer while sitting []

BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT(SEMI-FINAL) – HOLLIE STEEL

Britain’s Got Talent semi-final contestant Hollie Steel (10) took to the stage last night and this is what happened…. After Hollie broke down in to tears (notice her eyes are try like sand paper) and put the producers and the judges in a position where they had no choice but to give her a second chance (or risk being seen as monsters), we the viewers at home were then subjected to a 15 MINUTE commercial break because Hollie needed time to compose herself. This was manipulation []
