UK MUSIC: CHER LLOYD FT MIC RIGHTEOUS, DOT ROTTEN & GHETTS – ‘DUB ON THE TRACK’

X-Factor 2010 finalist Cher Lloyd has teamed up with Mic Righteous, Dot Rotten and Ghetts on her new single Dub On The Track. I remember watching annoying Miss Lloyd on the X-factor and saying that as soon as the show was over her label would look to team her up with a “TEAM UK” act and look folks they managed to find three artists willing to collaborate with her.  All I can do is laugh. I just hope Dot, Righteous and Ghetts each received enough money to buy a car and to pay []

QUOTE OF THE DAY: FUN LOVIN’ CRIMINALS FRONT MAN HUEY MORGAN SLAMS UK ARTISTS (LETHAL B, CHIPMUNK, DIZZEE RASCAL & TINIE TEMPAH)

Current rap music is not real, the music’s made by somebody else and these guys are rapping about a car or a girl. I didn’t hear any self-deprecating English humour in there. I think irony is dead as far as that goes. These guys are just trying to make money. UK hip hop artists would sell their mama for a Rolex. It’s all crap. I’m talking about Tinie Tempah, Lethal Bizzle. Dizzee Rascal, when I first heard his song, I thought there []

LINDSAY LOHEN COVERS PLAYBOY MAGAZINE

Poor Lindsay Lohan.. is this what it’s come to??? The woman staring back at me doesn’t even look like Lindsay. The once A-List actress was apparently paid $1million but I actually think she was paid a lot less. Agreeing to pose naked for tacky Playboy these days ( along with appearing in a  “structured reality” show) is a last ditch attempt to raise  ones profile and to pay the bills/mortgage. This is just sad.
