June 29, 2012

Another day… another offensive remark… Another wake up call. Big Brother contestant and former boarding school girl Caroline Wharram (20) was given an official warning this week after describing former Los Angeles gangster Adam Kelly as a “gorilla”.

He’s just a ridiculous ridiculous gorilla, bowl hair cut, no sanitation, he’s just disgusting. ” After she […]

SEXY PICS OF THE DAY…..

June 28, 2012

Former reality TV star and glamour model turned body builder Jodie Marsh oils up and poses with male model Simeon Panda to promote her new brand of fitness supplements, JSTJodie. I cannot believe these photographs are being used to promote a product. They lack sophistication and just look cheap. But I am loving Simeon’s bikini bottoms. Click HERE to view more pictures….

THE HACKNEY WEEKEND MUSIC FESTIVAL – IT’S A WRAP!

June 25, 2012

The BBC Radio Hackney Weekend music festival took place this past weekend and judging from the feedback it was a huge success. I didn’t attend but watched some of the performances on BBC 3. The build-up to headliner Jay-Z’s performance was ridiculously stupid and over the top (LOL). Anyone would have thought that Michael Jackson (Rest In Peace) was about to hit the stage.  You also had people (men) on Twitter getting their knickers in a twist and screaming blue murder at […]

June 21, 2012

In an interview with tabloid rag The Sun The Voice UK host Reggie Yates defends the show which did poorly in the ratings and shoots down comparisons to its ITV rival The X-Factor. A clearly irritated Yates said, “To compare us to The X Factor, which has been on for nine years, just feels unfair.
