VIDEO: M.I.A PERFORMING AT THE DIESEL 30TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY

October 13, 2008

The UK’s M.I.A performed at the Diesel 30th Anniversary party that took place in Brooklyn this past weekend. T.I and N.E.R.D also performed. I really don’t know how M.I.A gets away with it, I really don’t! Her music is absolute shite yet for some reason the industry’s embraced her wholeheartedly and people (particularly Stateside) continue to lap up her unique brand of garbage.   The “singer/rapper” tied the knot very suddenly several months ago ( to the  son of Warner Music Group’s CEO, Edgar Bronfman, Jr), and […]

VIDEO: BRITNEY SPEARS – ‘WOMANIZER’

October 11, 2008

I wouldn’t normally feature a video/track by Britney Spears on here, but seeing as she is now “officially” back, I thought I would post her much hyped come back single ‘Womanizer’. Was it worth the wait I hear you ask…. NO! ‘Womanizer’ is awful! Utter Pop crap!  As for the video…. smh……. well watch for yourselves….. I always admired the way she presented herself in video’s and on stage. Hair, make-up, clothing, choreography- everything was in place.  But now everything about her just seems slap dash […]

VIDEO: BEYONCE – ‘IF I WERE A BOY’

October 11, 2008

This is Beyonce’s new single, ‘If I were a Boy’ taken from her forthcoming album which will drop on November 18th. I really like this track and love the video.  ‘If I Were A Boy’ also has a Country feel to it. Faith Hill would also sound good on this record.   Your thoughts please……

LONDON CLUBS CAN’T AFFORD JAY-Z DURING CREDIT CRUNCH

October 11, 2008

Via The London Paper Jay-Z is finding the credit crunch is hamperiing his London party plans. The hip-hop superstar has found no club willing to stump up his appearance fee. Representatives for the star, in town to watch his NBA team, the New Jersey Nets, take on Miami Heat at The O2 on Sunday night, initially asked for £25,000 for him to host a party. Even though that figure has now gone down to £7,500, no clubs are interested. A club source told theBuzz: […]

RIHANNA MISTAKEN FOR PRINCE

October 11, 2008

Sources say that singer Rihanna was left “mortified” when a crowd of excited fans mistook her for being Prince, as she walked through a London airport several weeks ago. “Some fans screamed out ‘Prince’ when they saw her,” one witness whispers. “But when they got close enough to ask for an autograph, they realized he was she.” “She didn’t know what to say.” (Source: Star Magazine) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I would of loved to have seen the look on her face.

BLACK MALE CELEBRITIES “EXPOSED”

October 10, 2008

Here we go again…a report delving in to the private lives of numerous black male celebrities, which more or less accuses them of being closet homosexuals, without any sufficient evidence. Until I see actual evidence of these male celebrities caught with their faces down and arses up/caught in a passionate embrace, I will continue to not take these rumours seriously.   However check out this entertaining video featuring blogger Xem VanAdams. (What was actor Duane Martin thinking when he agreed to wear that pink thong LOL!!!)

VIDEO: ALESHA DIXON – ‘THE BOY DOES NOTHING’

October 9, 2008

You all know my feelings when it comes to this track.  Now check out the video….. Like I said in a previous post, I have nothing against the woman but I’m sorry Alesha just needs to throw in the towel when it comes to making music! Her label clearly has money to burn even in these desperate times. I mean what was Asylum Records thinking when they signed her? ‘Oh she won ‘Celebrity Come Dancing’ so she’s bound to sell records now’. Err NEWSFLASH it […]

UK NEWS: LEUKAEMIA SURVIVOR DANIEL DE GALE DIES

October 9, 2008

Daniel De Gale (March 14th 1987 – October 2008)  [Thanks Agnes] I just received the sad news that leukaemia survivor Daniel De Gale sadly passed away today. Daniel was diagnosed with Leukaemia in 1993 at the age of six and was put on a 2 year course of chemotherapy which he completed in March 1995. But after being in remission for just 9 months, he relapsed in December 1995, when a routine blood test revealed leukaemia cells again. With no assurance that a […]
