UK MUSIC/VIDEO: GIGGS – ‘UMMM’

Loyal reader The Real NV said something the other day that got me thinking. He said I should give UK rapper and BET Best UK Hip Hop winner Giggs “a chance”, after I posted a clip of him in the studio recording a track, and then promptly went on to slate the rapper. After some thought I decided that perhaps I was being overly critical and not being fair to the South London based emcee.  NV was right, I needed to give the man a chance. Us South Londoners should support each other. []

UK MUSIC: N-DUBZ – ‘PAPA’ / CRAIG DAVID FT TINCHY STRYDER – ‘WHERE’S YOUR LOVE’

UK MUSIC: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY N-DUBZ – ‘PAPA’ I do respect N-Dubz’s hustle. The group has been persevering together for 10 years and recently saw a change in their fortunes, thanks to their “strange” blend of R&B/Hip Hop.

T.I APPEARS ON ‘CHELSEA LATELY’

Rapper T.I recently appeared on the ‘Chelsea Lately’ show. This is a funny interview.  The show’s host Chelsea Handler is one of my favourite comedian’s right now. I watch her show every night on the E! Channel (11.30pm). The woman’s hilarious! Oh can somebody please explain to me why T.I acts so coy when asked if he has a girlfriend? Why not just answer ‘YES! I am in a serious/loving relationship with the mother of my two children ( former X-Scape group member Tameka “Tiny” Cottle) and we are very happy’. Refering to Tiny []

UK TV: WHITNEY HOUSTON SET TO APPEAR IN CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER? BOBBY BROWN SET TO JOIN HER IN THE HOUSE?

It’s been reported that Whitney Houston will allegedly be joined in the Celebrity Big Brother house by ex-husband Bobby Brown. The I Will Always Love You star reportedly signed to appear in the new series of the Channel 4 show in the summer, the Daily Star claims, and now BB bosses have managed to sign her ex to the reality show too. Source I pray that there isn’t a ounce of truth in this news story. If Whitney has agreed and signed []
