A shocking departure from British fashion, designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead after taking his own life.

According to the Guardian.co.uk, a source from McQueen’s office has confirmed his death, saying: “Mr McQueen was found dead this morning at his home. We’re devastated and I hope you understand that out of respect to his family and his colleagues we’re not going to be making any further statement.”

Cologne Carnival pokes fun at Obama & Berlusconi

February 10, 2010, Posted by admin at 12:34 am

This is a carnival with a difference, you’ll find no 98% naked women dancing to Samba or Soca. Instead, in Cologne carnival you’ll find the most hilarious satirical floats poking jokes at some very important government people!

This is the best of the bunch, surely Silvio Berlusconi isn’t that much of a womanizer? Haha

I don’t know whether Obama has trapped wind or Miss Liberty is setting his behind on fire!

This one looks dodgy, is America trying to bribe China??

Obama being a friendly cowboy is about to get a little surprise from the Iran leader.

Katie ‘press leech’ Price weds Alex in Vegas

February 4, 2010, Posted by admin at 12:17 am
Katie Price has literally run out of things to tell the press so she thought ‘I know, I’ll marry that guy, the cage fighter one’! Not only did she embarrass herself and him by publicly dumping him live on TV, they reunited shortly after. They got married in a private ceremony in LA on Monday and the ‘press pack’ couple confirm “We are very much in love and look forward to the future together”. We can all see this will end even worse then her and Peter’s marriage! Poor Alex doesn’t realise she’s using him to win back the public.
This women is a very nasty piece of work, I must admit I did like Katie at one point but ever since she divorced Peter she has become a devil women. We all know she has no respect for herself or her previous/present husbands but she has clearly shown no respect for her children. It’s as if the press come first! From rape to marriage she is trying to grasp every last thing she can before she get’s old and even more orange than before. What’s even worse about her press escapades is that young girls look up to her. I pray for our future women!

Beyonce smashes the Grammy’s with 6 Awards

February 1, 2010, Posted by admin at 3:32 pm

Well done to B who has made history at the Grammys when she collected her six trophies, including song of the year for her anthem Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It). Beyonce is the most awarded female in one night in the 52-year history of the awards show.

Although this wasn’t my favourite album of Beyonce’s, all the awards she received including best female pop vocal for her beautiful ballad Halo, are very well deceived.

“Thank you so much… this has been such an amazing night for me and I’d love to thank the Grammys…(and) all of the fans for their support over the years.”

The Kings of Leon were also triumphant winning 3 gongs including record of the year with Use Somebody.

Lady Gaga and Sir Elton John opened the night with a fantastic performance with high-energy choreography and pyrotechnics. Watch the crazy Gaga performance here;

England Football Captain Terry’s saucy affair may hinder World Cup

January 30, 2010, Posted by admin at 8:33 pm

I walked into work today and this story was all over the news, but I wasn’t paying too much attention at 8am and thought this guy must be dead or seriously injured. I was completely wrong, it was just an affair, but not an ordinary affair, a naughty one indeed!

In a nut shell the Chelsea and England captain John Terry had an affair with his former team-mate Wayne Bridge’s partner. So not only is he a cheating son of a …gun, he’s also damaged a friend’s relationship too. Sadly for Terry this story should never have been told, as it had an injunction at the High Court to ban the press reporting the news of the scandal. But could this stop the British press? Hell no, it has spread faster than swine flu, so the gagging order is void.

The FA and England manager Fabio Capello now face a huge decision, do they allow him to lead England through this summer’s World Cup finals in South Africa or knock his cheating self back a step?

If he gets removed as captain, every single English person in the world will surely hate him for at least a few months. But hey that’s the silly English for you. P.s I’m Welsh haha

iPad – Has Apple finally lost it’s crown

January 29, 2010, Posted by admin at 7:28 pm

I was really excited about this launch and hoped it would be an innovative and futuristic approach by Apple. But consumers are not very impressed a survey has revealed.

Days after Apple’s worldwide launch, 64% of the people surveyed admitted they were unmoved with the device. 2,108 people did the survey on MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, which revealed a tiny 9% would buy an iPad and four out of five people agreed it was a “scaled-up iPod Touch.”

I can only think that those surveyed were PC lovers who despise Apple for taking risks. Can you tell I’m a huge Apple fan? I’m also glad a celeb has backed Apple, Stephen Fry. Fry confirms from the Guardian, “There’s much to like, of course. But there are two chief reasons for its guaranteed success. It is so simple… It is made by Apple.”

I can’t wait to get my hand’s on one!

Funk dancers get to Sky One final & they’re all under 14!

January 24, 2010, Posted by admin at 9:23 pm

I don’t usually get very excited about these TV competition based talent shows but I’m really impressed with Sky One’s ‘Got to Dance’. Ok, so the judges thing is a bit Simon Cowell and the sob story is always present but the stars of the show are a young dance group called Jukebox Juniors. They are a phenomenal dance group from Wales, who not only dance Hip Hop but do it extremely well and fuse it with old skool funk for all the oldies!

If these are the dancers of the future, the dance world is about to get a whole lot tougher! They’re now in the Got to Dance final and compete for the 100,000 pound prize. Jukebox Juniors to win!

Watch them do their thang here;

Obama’s Advisor gets publicly named and shamed by Mistress

January 23, 2010, Posted by admin at 7:00 pm

This is the craziest thing a woman could do when scorned and kicked to the curb. YaVaughnie Wilkins supposedly took revenge on her married lover, Charles E Phillips by plastering huge billboard posters across the US showing the couple looking smug together.

The enormous poster reads “You are my soulmate forever!” This sounds a bit obsessive to me, why would you do it to yourself, now everyone knows she’s a marriage wrecker! I mean, don’t get me wrong he probably did deserve it but did his family?

If the billboards weren’t enough she also had a website set up containing over 1200 photos of Ms Wilkins and Mr Phillips together from 2001 to 2009. The site also has 65 karaoke tracks and about 35 articles written by Ms Wilkins.

The borderline bunny boiler is thought to have commissioned the public adverts when Mr Phillips, President Obama’s aide, decided to go back to his wife.

One poster was placed in Times Square while others were put up in Atlanta and San Francisco, where she lives. They are thought to have cost her a huge total of £150,000.

Reporter grabs David Beckham’s Groin – verdict ‘small’

January 22, 2010, Posted by admin at 10:42 pm

Most women would love to get some of David Beckham in their hands and lucky reporter Elena Di Cioccio got that very opportunity. Italian reporter Cioccio bent down and squeezed Beckham between the legs as a test to see if the Armani ad’s were misleading.

David Beckham has now become the latest victim of Italy’s best known satirical television show after the ambush in Milan. She said the verdict was ‘small’. LOL I don’t actually think it looks that big in the Armani advert, what do you think?

Check out the video, it’s hilarious:

Nokia Mobile Phone powered by…Coca-Cola

January 15, 2010, Posted by admin at 12:17 am

Imagine, your mobile battery has run low and you need to make that urgent call. But wait there’s no need for that tangled charger, just grab a can of Coca Cola and your chatting away.
This could be the future of mobile phone charging according to graduate Daizi Zheng who designed the energy saving phone of the future.
Ms Zheng came up with the concept for Finnish mobile phone manufacturer Nokia as part of her final university project.
The mobile prototype could run up to four times longer than a traditional lithium ion battery and has the potential to be fully biodegradable.
Unfortunately, the mobile phone giant, Nokia will not be developing the greenphone prototype further in the near future.

‘Google’ voted word of the Noughties by US Scholars

January 14, 2010, Posted by admin at 9:44 pm

If it’s not enough for Google to dominate the Internet, it has gone and got word of the decade as well as voted by the American Dialect Society (ADS).
In its annual Word of the Year vote, the society said the use of the word Google, meaning “to search the Internet”, came because almost everybody on the planet uses the term.
Other finalists included “9/11”, “Facebook”, “blog”, “text”, “Wi-Fi” and “war on terror”. But none quite had the Google effect.
The 119 year-old society confirmed members include linguists, lexicographers, grammarians, historians, researchers, writers, authors, editors, university students, and independent scholars.
“In conducting the vote, they act in fun and do not pretend to be officially inducting words into the English language,” it added.
But one thing all these geeky people know is Google is the word!
