MOBO AWARDS 2010 – GIGGS CHATS TO 1XTRA’S MAX

UK rapper Giggs was interviewed before his surprise appearance on stage at the MOBO Awards (Music Of Black Origin) on Thursday night. At the beginning of this footage it says ‘Giggs chats to Max’,  but it should actually say ‘Max chats to Giggs’, because she’s the one doing most of the chatting.

UK ARTIST: PUNCHBOWL BLOG MEETS KEISHA BUCHANAN

Our friends over at the Punch Bowl Blog caught up with former Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan at the Wireless Festival, which is currently taking place in Hyde Park this weekend.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: JERMAIN DEFOE

Footballer Jermain Defoe is a clown! I am a bit of a control freak. If I get married, my wife isn’t going out. No way. She’s staying at home. She’s not going out to clubs without me. I’ve already decided the rules, whoever she is. [The Sunday Mirror Magazine – Celebs On Sunday] Click HERE to read the full interview. I wonder if Jermain was actually being serious when he said this…. Then again it might explain why none of his ‘relationships’ stand the test of time, []

ESQUIRE MAGAZINE UK (MAY 2010): THE JAY-Z NAUSEATING LOVEFEST CONTINUES

[Thanks Mikey] Jay-Z is featured in the May 2010 issue of Esquire Magazine UK – “Jay-Z  Why He’s  The CEO Of Cool”, and TV/radio personality Jonathan Ross has written an article about the rapper. The British mainstream media’s obsession with Jay is just nauseating! You have BBC Radio personality Jo Whiley who I always associate with the Indie Rock scene,  fawning, cooing and wetting herself over Jay and now Jonathan’s his biggest fan.
