Celebrity - Is Bull shit

Ok, I seem to be having a Britney Spears day.
Not sure what's going on with me today.

But what if this was your life?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NkXrl_lhDE

Seriously, it's the most fucked up and scary thing i've seen in a while.
2 young women facing THAT.

It's like they are not going to stop until she kills herself or harms herself.
That's scary, intimadating, invasive, unneccesary and dangerous.

Just WHY??

For a picture?
Wow.

Offer me all the money in the world... No thanks.

You would have to be inhumane to not feel a little bit sorry for her.
But some of you will say the opposite, just to be contrary and say well she has all this money, but you know what, whatever, she's human and this is just too much.

Britney is not fat

I'm astonished by how much the press are attacking Britney Spears about being 'Fat'.

Are you kidding me?
For a woman who's had 2 kids, she's in better shape than me, I haven't even had 1!

Just for the record... All of you who think she is fat, here's Something to measure her by, Beth Ditto.

I believe this is what is technically 'Fat'.
Britney is not even close. Come on people get real.

X-FACTOR

Dear X Factor,
Can I just thank you for making me spend my sunday evening sat on my sofa BLUBBING at your show.

Why was EVERYONE crying?
No, seriously.

I ended up crying over the people who MADE it through and not even the rejects who I should've been crying for (good work by the way, they WERE shit).

Anyway, i'm glad this phase is over and now we can get on with the joy that is your show... 'Singing paupers who'll do just about anything' - at their very best.

And well done on kicking out the girl with the criminal record, i'm sure that now with all her hopes and dreams shattered, she'll go forth and stay clear of any crime that'll keep her in the ghetto. NOT.

Anywhoo,

Keep up the good work and i look forward to the next 12 weeks of sing-a-longs.

Toodle pip.

Jamie Oliver - Raunchy Chef?

Now I know some people seem to think that I have a dirty mind...
But i'm interested to know if it's me or whether Jamie Oliver in his new show 'Jamie at home' is taking the piss.

In a 3 min segment about 'Mushrooms' i caught these words and sayings:
"Bare end"
"Knob"
"Drips"
"Toss"
"Taste the cream"

This was later followed up with the phrases:

"It's coming"
"look at the juice coming out"

Naughty Jamie!

The Mighty Boosh - Rules

This is just a reminder of the brilliance that is... Of The Mighty Boosh!

Man this show is TOOOOOOO good.

'Stealing the funk' and 'Mangina's' (as in Vagina's) - and Old Gregg.

This show just refuels me - it's fab.

Anderson Cooper my new TV hero

This guy is funny as fuck.
I Lurve him!

If you have free time... Visit Youtube.com and punch in Anderson Cooper.

Very Refreshing indeed.




Interviewing Dave Chappelle - Really nice!

Volkswagon "Dancing in the Rain" commercial

Another of my favourite adverts:

The editing on this advert has been geniously mastered so carefully that I cannot fault it on any aspect.

The concept is simply brilliant and I love the advertising by line of:
'The original, updated'.

Which applies to both the original Gene Kelly clip and to the new car in question, the new vw golf.

Very fine craftmeship on this advert.
Brings a smile to my face everytime.

Citroen Car advert - I love this!

I loved this car advert from day one.
The music was fun, the creativity of the car becoming a robot is very clever and of course one cannot go without mentioning the fantastic choreography.

I still wouldn't buy a Citroen car.... But this is one of my favourite adverts:

EASTENDERS – Where are the ethnic minorities?

Thought I'd share this:
I wrote this article for my other business website blog ethnicshowcase.com/blog
------------------------------------------------------------

EASTENDERS – Where are the ethnic minorities?

Why do main stream shows on British TV like Eastenders disproportionately represent the Blacks and Asians who exist in this world?

I mean, where in the East end of London, in reality, can you find a street that does not have more than a single minority family in it?

If you know of it – please tell me where it is, I’d love to go there and see it for myself.

At present, Eastenders have 1 elderly black couple in it who run a local mini mart store.
A black single mum, with 2 teenager daughters.
And the only token young black male on the screens is an uneducated street cleaner!
Who also, might I add, used to have a criminal brother who was always up to no good and pushing some dodgy deal through.

There are no Asians, Indians or any one from Europe cast on our screens.

My question is... Why is that?

This show is supposed to be up to date, current and dealing with topical issues... Yet grazes over minorities as if they don't exist.

You do have to wonder about what message this is sending out to the British public?
And also, how we're seen abroad.

And I wonder... Is this a deliberate message on the part of TV Company’s behind these shows?
Or one that is unfortunately there and exists simply through today’s circumstances and politics?

I’m particularly worried about the people whom, shall we say, are not that well educated or don't possess any real knowledge of the 'real world'. How will they ever know that not all black people are uneducated; Have jobs other than cleaning streets and don’t spend every day plotting ways to rob or steal from others?

Where are all the successful Blacks, Asians and Indian business owners?
Where are their family members?
Where is a taste of other cultures?

And I don’t mean merely throwing another Indian family into a corner shop, cue Coronation Street. I mean real families, with generations, quirks, ambitions, love, rivalry, history and all those exciting and real elements that exist in Ethnic families and cultures right across Britain.

I mean if this show is supposed to be representing the East end of London, in 2007 and not in London 1907, surely our TV’s should be showing us something very different?

It just depresses me sometimes to watch it and see no diversity – no realness, no truth .I mean at the very least, throw us in a West Indian shop on the square and lets see Ian Beale throw his toys out of his pram about his chip prices falling because of the Beef Pattie sales. How about instead of fish and chips for a change why not let’s see Peggy Mitchell going off to buy some curry goat with rice and peas for the Mitchell clan. And the token dreadlock Rasta, whom would invariably have to run the shop, would have to have some awful dalliance with Pat Butcher at some point… Wouldn’t he?

Ok, so my mind is running off track a little here. But you catch my gist I’m sure.

There are so many talented ethnic actors in London who would jump at the chance to be on top shows like this.

There are also so many talented black and ethnic minority writers who could help scope out and develop convincing storylines for ethnic families to be added to these soaps.
Yet they don’t ever seem to be used.

Why is that?

Is casting and using ethnic families really that difficult?
Is it because we now live in such a politically correct world that script writers are scared to portray ethnic families in certain ways, for fear of a backlash?

We need to find a middle ground on this instead of just doing nothing and ignoring it.

There are ethnic actors who want to work.
There are ethnic writers who want to work.

Wouldn’t it be great to just sit down and make it happen?

It’s time.

My TV Broke - But I still Love HEROES!

So last week weds... My big TV in my bedroom that i've had for some 10yrs plus, decided it was time to make its way up to heaven.

Being a self confessed TV addict (I know, where the heck do I find the time) I was more than a little bit distressed by not having a TV in my room anymore.

I'm well known for falling asleep with the TV on and waking up to the TV still being on...
I fond that there's something comforting about having the TV on and talking to me whilst i sleep...

More likely i have the TV shitting advertising slogans into my head as i sleep... anywhoo, i digress...

So I was a little freaked out - like, no sound or light in my room (I kinda have a thing about being in the dark on my own with no sounds.. Yeah, whatever, 30 and with issues.. big whoop)

Soooooo....

My brother loaned me his SAD lamp a few weeks back (Seasonal Affective Disorder) - for people who get grumpy in the winter, when the weather is crappy etc...

And I decided if i had to get into bed...
And there was no TV to watch... I'd better start reading again...

I've annihilated 2 books in a week and so proud of myself.
That has not been done in some time, let me tell you.

By not having the TV in the bedroom also means i am now working more from my living room where the other big tv is (yes i work with the tv on - and sometimes the radio is on too - it is possible, honest gov).

So now i'm sat in the living room... and am surrounded by LOADS of dvd's that my friend who shall remain nameless, had downloaded off the web of some of the coolest TV shows and movies that are out right now...

BUT my laptop won't play 'em and my dvd player cannot handle DivX, mp4's and wma which all these bootlegs dvd... i mean copies are in.

So i ordered a new dvd player - which plays everything you throw at it!
And it arrived today...

Do I need to say - that very little work was conducted today....

hehe. Today was a self subscribed 'work free day'.

ANYWAYS... the point of this blog was actually to talk about my most FAVE TV program like ever ever in the whole of the world, no the universe, like EVER!!!!!!!!

HEROES!

Now The US can put out some garbage sometimes... But then it has it's moments of pure genius...

I give you the West Wing, The Soprano's, 24 (you gotta love it, all that action every hour!), Sex and the City, the list goes on and on...Not to mention south park and American Dad... and now... HEROES!

OH MY GAWWW.

This show is simply incredible.
It's about people with supernatural powers. And the discovery and journey of understanding themselves and their new gifts in a bid to save the world... and that darn cheerleader who just can't die!

Ok, that explanation makes it sound pants, it really isn't.

I have all 18 of the 1st episodes and will spend all day on sunday watching them.

Feel free to join me - I will convert you....

You tube has some trailors also...

Man I love this show... Long may it live...
