'I've Lost A Stone In A Month' Kerry Katona shrinks to 9s 4lbs with detox; the headline screams> HOW MANY MORE TIMES! I am REALLY bored of these so-called-celebrities posing in bikinis on the gossips sites telling us how much weight they have lost. I am bored because in a few months they will be right back where they started, if not fatter LOL. This is not the message they need to be relaying to our young girls who are battling with the crap that these celebs keep throwing at them. Tell us something positive about what is happening with your career and shut up about your bloody weight already; geez

WEIRD STORY: A lock of MJ’s hair is to be turned into a roulette ball!!!

 

Apparently The gambling website purchased a lock of the late pop singer Michael Jackson’s hair from an online memorabilia vendor, Gotta Have Rock and Roll, for $10,871.

 

The hair was reportedly collected at New York’s Carlyle Hotel, where Jackson once stayed while attending a charity event.

 

“As its proud new owners, we have decided to convert Michael Jackson’s hair into a roulette ball—an appropriately unique way to immortalize a small part of a truly peerless entertainer,” the gambling site announced during their plans for their new acquisition. 

 

The site said the roulette ball will be eligible for use at any licensed casino’s roulette table.

 

*Rapper Flo Rida has entered into a deal for first time offenders on his DUI arrest on Miami Beach.

His arrest report says officers spotted his car driving erratically about 3:45 a.m. on June 6. The report says the rapper, whose real name is Tramar Dillard, failed a field sobriety test. It also says he blew twice the legal limit to drive into a device to measure his blood-alcohol level, had bloodshot, watery eyes, and slurred speech.  Source EUR

 

OLD NEWS:

First I read in the gossip columns that singer Adele fancied Tinie Tempah. Now I hear that she fancies Prince Harry!!! The poor girl cant open her mouth these days without it being big news. Keep talking about her record success I don’t care who she fancies.

 

OMG! There is ANOTHER celeb couple tape floating around. Who I hear you ask? Jennifer Lopez and her ex husband Ojani Noa

 

Allegedly it was Ojani’s manager was the one who stole the footage and has been ordered to appear in court with the so said flash drive with the video on.  Wtf are people doing stealing other peoples sex tapes? Cmon C’MON, that’s gross-ish lol

 

Sir Cliff Richards is getting himself some soul and I dont mean that he is heading to the record shop to buy himself some new tunes, far from it, this pop puppeteer is going to record a soul album with some of the genres greats! 

 

The Peter Pan of pop is hoping to duet with the likes of Dennis Edwards (The Temptations) Russell Thompkins Jr (The Stylistics) and Percy Sledge.  After spending 50 years in the business Sir Clif thought that it was time to give his career a kick and make a change to remain fresh on the scene. 

 

The album will be produced by non other then Motown singer/songwriter Lamount Dozier (Holland, Dozier, Holland) and will be executively produced by David Gest, yes THEE David Gest that was married to Liza whats her name. Gest would love some younger stars also to appear on the album and says 'do not be surprise if you hear a rap or two on the album' *shakes head*

 

 

After her stunning performance at the Brits this year, Adele has become the first living artist since the Beatles in 1964 to have two titles simultaneously in the top five of the singles chart AND the album chart; her album ‘21’ and her single ‘Someone Like You’

 

 Whatever the gossip sites say about Rhianna's sexy image my girl can sell music!  She has made UK music history this month by becoming the first solo artist in over 35 years to have 5 number ones in five consecutive years!!!  NOt only has she achieved number one singles, but she has also has number one albums at the same time as two of those singles!

 

Rihanna's album Loud also holds on to its number one slot, giving her the second UK chart double of her career; in 2007, her album Good Girl Gone Bad and single Umbrella topped both charts simultaneously.

 The only other solo artist to achieve this was Elvis back in 1957 - 1963.  At this rate his reord will be beaten by this Caribbean beauty.

 

 

 Mike Tyson, who is apparently a pigeon fancier has been given his own TV show.

 

The show is called 'Taking on Tyson' and will be on the Animal Planet channel in March. The 44 year old former boxer will be returning to his native Brooklyn neighbourhood to race pigeons! 

 

 

 Queen of Soul, Singer Aretha Franklin,  has gone on recorded to say that after her operation she is feeling much better.  The star is yet to confirm or deny the cancer rumours that have been in the news regarding the reason behind her illness.
  

 

   

 

I love it when the entertainment news gets a strange story.  What could I possibly be talking about here?  Well it would seem that rapper Shyne is now living in Israel as an Othodox Jew, reports the New York Daily News.

 

Shyne is now studying at a rabbinical school in Israel and is reportedly preparing five new albums.

 

The 34-year-old will release the first two records, entitled “Messiah” and “Gangland” on Def Jam Records. He cannot legally enter the US but is planning to appeal the citizenship ruling.

  

The rapper was recently released from prison after serving a ten-year sentence for the Club New York shooting. Diddy was charged with gun possession, but was cleared in the high-profile trial.

 

 Forbes magazine, the mag that every rich and powerful person wants to be featured in has voted that Obama is NOT the most powerful man in the world!!! WHAT I hear you shout. 

 

Traditionally the US president has always held this spot, but not anymore according to Forbes. Hu Jintao, the Chinese president, has been named the most powerful person on Earth knocking Barack Obama off the top spot. *shock head shake* HOWEVER, Mr Obama’s first lady ,was last month named Forbes Most Powerful Woman. Gwarn Michelle!

  

 

SOAP LAND

 

*EMMERDALE: Cain has had the bad news that it could take him as long as 18 months to recover from his beating; he is not happy.  But is he telling the truth when he said that it was Jai who beat him and left him for dead?

 

Debbie is driving me nuts at the moment. I think that she forgets that she was one of the people who had turned their back on Cain and told him to get lost, now she is shouting at everyone else for not caring that he is in hospital. I think she forgets that he is a horrible man and hates everyone. Let's hope that they do not drag the 'who done it?' story for too long.

  

*EASTENDERS: I can't believe how the storyline made Zainab, the strong fold so quickly under that Dr Death's spell. Please Please let this story end soon because it is making the characters look so dumb! I can't believe that no one can figure this one guy out.

 

Also in the soap, is Phil finally getting his just deserts for all the horrible stuff that he has done to his fellow neighbours over the years? Who could his stalker be? and will this story end in a death in the square? (I am making up my own storylines now lol)

 

*CORONATION STREET: Peter, what is wrong with you? I refuse to blame the drink, this man just can NOT make up his mind! He wants a family with Lianne then he doesn't. He poor son wont know what has hit him if Peter goes off with Carla.

 

Not enjoying the David/Owen fued. I feel that it is a bit of a silly storyline, let's hope it ends soon. I do know that 2012 will see some of the most most powerful scenes seen on the street in a long time but I don't want to spoil it for you *smile*

 

Tell you more soon peeps

*The final decision has now been made on the new Batman movie.  It is to be called ' The Dark Knight Rises' and it will NOT be in 3D reported the films director Christopher Nolan.  This is much to the delight of the true hardcore Batman fans.  One fan goes as far as saying that 'The 3D would efffect would ruin the movie!  Unless it was like Avator for example where the 3D wasn't a feature it was the whole graphics of the film'.

 

Rumour has it that Sarah Ferguson may get her own talk show in American on Oprah Winfrey's new network Own. 

 

Oprah herself was said to have called Sarah and offered her the job, saying she likes the way that Sarah keeps reinventing herself. Yeah I heard about that reinventing gig when she was secretly filmed offering access to her ex-husband Prince Andrew for money. *snigger* Oprah, pick MEEeee

 Limewire is no more! The file sharing site has been shut down over in the states where it originated.

An injunction issued by the US district court in New York has effectively shut down LimeWire, one of the internet's biggest file-sharing sites.

It ends four years of wrangling between the privately-owned Lime Group and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). BUT they insist that they will clean up their act and come back. BBC
