Two weeks ago I happened to catch a glimpse of morning breakfast show ‘GMTV’, and spotted a ‘colourful’ blast from the past. 56 year old fitness guru Mr Motivator (real name Derrick Evans). At first I thought GMTV had gone back in time to 1993 when Mr Motivator worked hard to get Britain fit in his ultra bright, tight, lycra outfits. But no! The Motivator has returned to GMTV after leaving the show 8 years ago, and he is still wearing the […]

In the latest ‘Talk To Frank’ anti drugs campaign commercial the focus is now on cocaine. I like the ‘Talk To Frank’ commericials because of the unique/satirical way in which they approach the dark subject matter of drug addiction. I know I shoudn’t but everytime this commercial airs I cannot help but laugh. Comedian/actor David Mitchell’s (the voice of Pablo the drug mule dog) sarcastic tone kills me everytime. So wrong….. LMAO!

Celebrity Big Brother 2009 will launch his week (Friday) and thankfully the rumour that Whitney Houston would appear on the show where Z-list celebrities/non entities go to lay the remains of their once illustrious careers to rest for good was just that – a rumour. Anyway the ‘celebs’ who will enter the BB House on Friday are as follows….. Former Sugababes group member Mutya Buena. I guess abruptly leaving a successful group and going solo wasn’t the best move for old Mutya…. 90s rap […]

The X-Factor semi-finals aired live last night and contestants Alexandra Burke, Eoghan Quigg and boy band JLS will battle it out for the coveted X Factor title. I really don’t understand why JLS is still in the running to win the title. I think that as a group they sound appalling! Why does Simon Cowell, who is usually spot on, keep giving them a pass??? He must be getting soft in his old age. Check out their cover of Rihanna’s smash hit ‘Umbrella’ on last night’s show. Cheesy…….. […]

If you happen to be UK based and at home tonight then watch the documentary ‘High Society’s Favourite Gigolo’, which will take an in depth look at the meteoric rise and fall of Britain’s first black superstar, Leslie ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson. Up until this point I’d never heard of Leslie Hutchinson. Hmmmmmmm I wonder why???? Via The London Paper He was our highest-paid performer, a singer, pianist and actor whose suave good looks guaranteed invites to the top parties – not to mention the fact he was a wartime entertainer […]
