July 15, 2009

MAJOR excitement today over at Twitterville…….. Comedian Kojo’s show, Kojo’s Comedy Fun House aired last night on MTV Base, and it’s been announced that it achieved the highest ratings on Base. Congratulations Kojo! I tuned in for the first time ever last night and the show had a Wild ‘N’ Out  / talent show feel to it. Viewers were treated to performances from Bashy, Lethal B, ‘singer’ Estelle’s sister and some other artists, numerous games (the games were pretty dull to watch / didn’t come across well on TV), and shots of actor Idris Elba sitting in the […]

PIC OF THE DAY: BRIAN BELO AND CHARLEY UCHEA

June 5, 2009

Former Big Brother contestents Big Brother 8 winner Brian Belo and Charley Uchea, attended the Big Brother 10 launch party, which took place on Wednesday night (June 3rd) in London. Some things will never change.  I see that old Essex boy Brian is still suffering from an identity crisis, and still insists on wearing blue contact lenses. He will probably start using skin bleaching agents next. And as for Charley… Still believing that she’s a celebrity and a “friend to the stars”.

June 1, 2009

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 […]

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

May 30, 2009

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 […]

VIDEO: BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT – 10 YEAR OLD NATALIE OKRI

May 18, 2009

10 year old Natalie Okri appeared on Britain’s Got Talent this past Saturday and as expected blew the audience and judges away with her rendition of  the Alicia Key’s hit single No One. Natalie is a cute little girl who has a decent singing voice for a 10 year old. Check her out. To be honest I’m not really a fan of Britain’s Got Talent and think that judge (former Daily Mirror Editor-In-Chief) Piers Morgan is wasted on this show. I have read all of his books (The best being The […]

UK NEWS: NORWAY WINS THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST, BRITAIN COMES IN AT FIFTH PLACE

May 17, 2009

The cheesy and very camp annual Eurovision Song Contest took place last night in Russia’s capital, Moscow. Norway’s Alexander Rybak won and smashed the record on points awarded during the competition, while Britain’s Jade Ewen came in fifth. Jade’s song It’s My Time was written by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and he played the piano during her performance. I thought her performance was really good (even though she went slightly off key towards the end), and had my fingers crossed, hoping that she would win. The audience […]
