According to the ridiculous Daily Mail this is the photograph that confirms singer Alexandra Burke and footballer Defoe are a couple. Click HERE to view more of photographs. [Thanks Lorraine] Those of you who are regular visitors to Mad News already know my thoughts on this so-called union.

Check out the video footage below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMGAc-ozXGA&feature=player_embedded … Why is his T-shirt so low cut? What’s that all about???

Chipmunk and Wretch 32 pretended they were Lil Wayne and Rick Ross on Monday night while hanging out at the popular Jump Off event in London. The pair decided to literally ‘shower’ young women with money (fifty pound notes) who were taking part in the booty shaking competition. [Thanks L] It does my heart good to see Wretch and Chipmunk investing their royalties wisely especially during these financially difficult times.
