2007 IN REVIEW: FUCK UPS ON THE YEAR
It breaks our heart to do this but as usual the year wouldn't be complete with some anal celebrities doing damn ridiculous things with their careers. Some include -
BADGE OF HONOUR: LUPE FIASCO
It's been a bland few weeks in the Music world with nothing particularly inspiring tickling our fantasies. Last Night, we stumbled upon the new single by relatively underrated fly-boy LUPE FIASCO. The single is SUPERSTAR and we urge everyone to download the single. It's actually brilliant.

2007 IN REVIEW: PHRASES OF THE YEAR
These are some memorable statements from our favouite ZOO culture - Celebrity land of course. Our top ridiculous catch prases are:
1) BRITNEY SPEARS -
2) VICTORIA BECKHAM - "That's Major"
3) RIHANNA 'Ella Ella he he'
1) BRITNEY SPEARS -
"It's Britney Bitch"
2) VICTORIA BECKHAM - "That's Major"
3) RIHANNA 'Ella Ella he he'
BRITNEY'S SISTER IS PREGGIES
Yo,
This is as crushing as Muhammad Ali versus George Foreman in the jungle!
It has been revealed that Britney Spears' 16-year old sister (you know the one that had the outburst few weeks ago whilst someone was insulting brit at a mall in LA - yes her!) is pregnant.
Her mother is suppsedly "shocked" when it was revealed during the family's "thanksgiving" dinner. The father is her "longtime" partner who is no older than his child-girlfriend.
So we ask, how did he know where to stick it?
This is TRAILER TRASH for real. It's amazing how the real American trailer trash are trying to better themselves while the rich are trying so hard to be "normal".
Go figure!

THE "CANOE" STORY
Like every other person in Britain, I have been gripped by the irregularities of the "Canoe" Man and his wife. His wife finally returned to the UK two days ago, only to be escorted off the aircraft by armed policemen.
So let's rewind back to last week, when an "amnesia" suffering "canoe" man walked into a police station claiming absolutely no recollection of the past 5 years.
STOP......what the f***? I don't think he suffered amnesia, I think he's suffering from a bad dose of insanity. This man faked his own death and conspired with his wife to claim insurance worth over £400, 000 whilst agreeing to continue living his life as normal (except keeping his children in the dark)
I'm sorry, but this is f***ed up and what makes it all more anal is the fact that this is just another middle-aged couple in Britain scamming their way through the system.
The question now is why did he turn himself in? Well after extensive telephone conversations - the general census is as follows, something went horribly wrong. THE MOST LOGICAL, his wife started to wear the trousers as she had the money and he couldn't take it anyone as it wasn't what he had bargained for.
Interesting isn't it that he turned himself in without his wife's consent and while she was in Atlanta, USA.
All this hoop-la in the press makes me worry about the McCains. Does anyone still care about dear Madeline?

YOU ARE NEVER TOO YOUNG TO MAKE A CHANGE!
Everyday, someone inspirational can motivate you to do greater things. Usually, these individulas tend to be older and wiser with much more wisdom to share. Last night, during the annual CNN Heroes presentation. I stumbled upon Pat Pedraja, an amazing young man who has done some absolutely wonderful things to help raise money and awareness to help kids with Leukemia.
I would like us all to read his moving speech -
"Thank you, I'm so excited and first of all I'd like to thank all the heroes that were featured online with me,' he said during his acceptance speech. "They are all such amazing people doing amazing things and it's really an honor to be among them."
"With just a cheek swab you can be on the national bone marrow's registry in over 50 countries and doing something so simple, you could be the one to save a life like a kid like me,' he said. "All of us have the power to make a difference. You just can never give up and always believe. I just want to let everyone know, you are never too young to change the world."
I would like to help him by spreading the word about voting for him on CNN's website.

May you live long, Pat!
DAVID JORDAN
We warned you months ago about an emerging record industry protege named David Jordan. We are pretty sure that by now most of you have heard of him and his rather 'distinct' talent - he recently performed on the Royal Variety Performance in front of the Royal Family wearing a cross-between Freddie Mercury's trademark jacket and a morning suit. And as for the performance.................NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
We can't take any of this Jordan dude, we are desperately searching for his talent. Surely, we shouldn't have to work this hard to spot it.

OBAMA & WINFREY
So..............what do we think about the new power couple rocking the 2008 Presidential Race? Oprah 'dynamite' Winfrey ghas decided to endorse Democrats' candidate Sen. Barack Obama. She is currently on a 3-state campaign tour with him as they pack arenas of potential voters.
Without trying to be cynical, we ask, is this a really good move? Does celebrity endorsemnent enhance political profiling afterall Sen. Kerry was endorsed by everyone from Ben Affleck to Bruce Springsten yet he lost to George W. Bush.
Last night, a CNN guest described the OBAMA & WINFREY partnership as the ultimate "green card". Do we agree?
What we do agree in is the amount of black power that these two pack, while listening to their speeches last night - we thought DAMN, that's black intelligence!
Good luck Barack, in the words of brother Malcolm..... "By Any Means Neccessary"

I AM LEGEND
We know there are several sci-fi film buffs out there whom will be camping-outside cinema theatres to watch the upcoming Will Smith film 'I AM LEGEND'. But on a serious note, he's the only character in the movie - do we really like his face that much?
AMY GOT 6 NODS
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH! THIS IS DELICIOUS NEWS. Weeks ago, we predicted that Amy Winehouse was going to be a suprise nominee at the forthcoming Annual Grammy Awards - well, the nominations were annouced yesterday in Los Angeles and our star has scooped 6 nominations for her 'Back to Black' album including Record of the year and Song of the year. We are very proud of Amy and can only pray that her personal life will not cloud the voter's judgement. We can't have another India Arie situation happen to a classic album.
DEJA VU: OMAHA SHOOTING
We will not try and engage you on the growing number of gun-related teenage outrage that has dominated the American society for decades. We however will like to ask the question:
HAS AMERICA LOST THE GUN BATTLE?
Either it be Clinton, Obama, McCain, Thompson or Guiliani. The successor needs to address this. We are not American however this affects us all.

DECEMBER AND IT'S TAKINGS
Another sad black celebrity death hit us this morning. Pimp C (half of southern duo, UGK) was found dead in his Las Vegad Hotel Room. It is thought he died of natural causes.
We are no strangers to the often brutally cruel month of December. As most preoccupy themselves with Christmas shopping, an alarming number of ordinary people are coping with a loss. As we enjoy this festive season, please let us remember the thousands plagued with the feeling of emptiness.
May this Month bring us true joy!
Rest in Peace, Pimp C - we shall celebrate your life and work. Our hearts go out to the many UGK fans including ourselves.

TAMEKA GOT A BABY!
Wamp Wamp, Usher is a father. Sorry ladies (and men), your hopes are over as his wife Tameka is no joke, she'll take you to the dogs. Over a decade older than Usher, Tameka has stirred controversy since day one with the tabloid and rumor has it, Usher's Mother.
She delivered a baby girl on Monday Night and the pair are reported to be 'doing well'
Congratulations Ush. It's a long way from You make me wanna.............

WHY BOTHER?
Watching last night's Republican Candidates debate, it is clear none of the 10 (Tancredo, Mccain, Hunter, Keyes, Cox, Thompson, Romney, Giulliani, Huckabee, Paul) men have a clue on what to offer the American People. I'm not American but like to think I'm a fairly rational intellectual but no way jose this time around, it's the Democrats turn......you can't fool the world again!
Watch us do the Soul ja Boy Superman on Rudy Guiliani's candidacy.

LEGENDS: I GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YA
Does anyone remember the talented musicians called MN8? They were bigger than Oasis back in the early 90s with many many critically acclaimed albums under their belt.
Their combination of gyrating body movements and excessive somersaults left fans and critics alike, wanting more.
They were so huge they had a 'Period pain relief' drug named after them.
We salute you for your contribution to World Music. Your talent is unrivalled!
SOULJA BOY UP IN IT!
Can I remain a respectable 20-something professional whilst admitting that I'm obsessesd with the Soulja Boy - Crank Dat anthem? I mean trying to intellectualize/contextualize his lyrics leaves me with this -
Can you make any sense of this cause I certainly can't yet I find myself trying to fly whilst doing the "Superman" movements.
This is just plain ridiculous. This is worse than my obsession with Lil'Jon's Get Low - ski ski skiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Soulja Boy up in it (OH!)
Watch Me Crank It
Watch Me Roll
Watch Me Crank Dat Soulja Boy,
That Super Man Dat (OH!)
Now Watch Me Do
(Crank Dat Soulja)
Now Watch Me Do
(Crank Dat Soulja)
Now Watch Me Do

Now Watch Me Do

IRREPLACEABLE - COUNTRY STYLE
So there I was watching the 2007 American Music Awards getting extremely bored with the routine performances from many of American's finest including Maroon 5, Fergie and Rihanna. Until suddenly, my new favourite country duo (Oh yes I said it) Sugarland decided to do a rendition of Beyonce's Hit - Irreplaceable.
It was something else - you must judge for yourself!
