UK EVENT: CANDY MAGAZINE LAUNCH PARTY – “FASHION SHOW”

May 5, 2010

While lurking over at Miss Lala Report I came across footage of the Candy Magazine launch party and “fashion show”, that took place on the 18th December 2009. All I want to know is who was responsible for organising this poor excuse of a fashion show, and did the designers Amor Lingerie steal their latest line (Sassy Ass Clothing) off a stall in Deptford market? I don’t mean to sound negative but WHY people?  If you’re going organise an event of this nature then at least do it properly! I’m not saying […]

May 4, 2010

Via Tale Tela Damon Dash blames the recession for his financial issues, according to YRB.

UK NEWS: WILEY’S MANAGEMENT THREATENS MAD NEWS WITH LEGAL ACTION

April 29, 2010

Mad News has been threatened with legal action. This threat comes from rapper Wiley’s management team who in APRIL 2010 requested that I remove a blog posted way back in 2008. The story reported that Wiley had fallen out with his management in spectacular fashion. In 2008 Wiley made a point of posting his thoughts on the RWD website, detailing the situation with his manager. HE put it out there in to the public domain that he was unhappy. But in 2010 I […]

UK TV: N-DUBZ APPEAR ON GMTV – DAPPY ADDRESSES EXPOSED DRUG ABUSE

April 29, 2010

N-Dubz appeared on GMTV earlier this week and group member Dappy addressed the recent photographs that exposed him taking the illegal substance Meow Meow (Mephedrone). Well that was embarrassing to watch! And what is Tulisa talking about? “I don’t condone drugs. I’ve never touched them, never will”. I’m sure it has been documented in the N-Dubz official book that she abused drugs as a teenager.

AKON NO LONGER BACKS KONVICT FRAGRANCE

April 27, 2010

Earlier this year it was announced that the singer Akon would be releasing a new fragrance called Konvict, and as you can see below the bottle was shaped like a handcuff. People were not impressed. Myself included. Akon must have realized that perhaps it wasn’t such a good idea to be seen endorsing this foolishness, because today Rhymes With Snitch reports that the singer has now distanced himself from the product. Akon says he was in talks with a fragrance company to […]
