JIM JONES CHARGED WITH ASSAULT OVER NE-YO INCIDENT

January 5, 2009

The rumour that Jim Jones a long with members from his entourage attacked R&B star Ne-Yo and an associate of Jay-Z’s in the Louis Vuitton store on Fifth Avenue (New York City),  spread like wild fire on Christmas Eve.   But I had trouble believing this story. I needed confirmation before posting it on Mad News.  I mean.. brawling inside the exclusive LV store and with Ne-Yo of people. It just sounded so ridiculous and far fetched. But it looks as if there is some truth in this sad pathetic tale…. Via Allhiphop […]

COMMERCIAL OF THE DAY: ”TALK TO FRANK’ PABLO THE DRUG MULE DOG ANTI-COCAINE COMMERCIAL

January 4, 2009

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!

MAD NEWS REACHES ONE YEAR MILESTONE

January 2, 2009

It’s hard to believe that Mad News is already a year old. Throughout 2008 Mad News succeeded in provoking a range of emotions from it’s readers. Some of you laughed, others cried, many cussed and the odd few even went as far as accusing me of being a “hater” and a “racist”. One individual took it to another level by calling me a “burnt black fat bitch” (LMAO!!). I don’t even know where she got that physical description from, because she was way off! Anyway this […]

UK TV: CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER 2009

December 31, 2008

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 […]
