UK MUSIC: ALEXANDRA BURKE – ELEPHANT

February 6, 2012

Alexandra Burke is back with new music. The new single Elephant will be officially released on March 11. …. I weep for Alexandra and her music career in this country. I know she doesn’t want to make music like this but her label RCA (part of the Sony Music group) obviously have different ideas. *Note: RCA delayed the release of Elephant twice before giving it an official release date* Don’t be surprised when it’s announced that Alexandra is no longer signed to RCA. At this point in time the […]

UK NEWS: CROSS-EYED RIOTER AND ARSONIST FROM PECKHAM CAUGHT AFTER POLICE SPOT HIS EYES ON CCTV

February 3, 2012

Via The Daily Mail A cross-eyed arsonist who set fire to a shop that sold pants during the August riots was caught after police spotted his unusual eyes on CCTV.

VIDEO: MADONNA – GIVE ME ALL YOUR LUVIN (FEATURING M.I.A AND NICKI MINAJ)

February 3, 2012

Give Me All Your Luvin is Madonna’s new single featuring M.I.A and Nicki Minaj. Why Madonna felt the need to team up with the likes of M.I.A and Nicki Minaj I don’t know. Madonna is still considered relevent so she didn’t need to go down that road. Nicki and M.I.A should be banned from the recording studio, especially the over-rated M.I.A. This song sounds like something Madonna would have recorded in the 80s. I don’t like it. She is far too mature to be singing a song like […]

UK NEWS: WOMAN DIES AFTER POSSIBLY SUFFERING AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO BONDING GLUE IN HER HAIR

February 3, 2012

Via The Daily Mail A woman died from a massive allergic reaction that could have been caused by the glue in her hair extensions, a pathologist said yesterday.

MADNESS OF THE DAY: NEW BIRTH MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH CROWNS DISGRACED BISHOP EDDIE LONG A KING

February 2, 2012

Everyone needs to watch this. This is truly bizarre. Bishop Eddie Long’s loyal congregation each need help. And like the scarecrow in The Wizard Of Oz all need to visit the Emerald City and BEG for brains. The disgraced Bishop was pronounced a king in God’s government by a rabbi on Sunday. Eddie’s minions then lift him up while he is seated on a ‘throne’ and proceed to carry him around the stage. Watch the spectacle below. Spotted @ Rhymes With Snitch …. Erm…. when did Eddie convert to Judaism??? I am […]
