Brittany’s gone and the curse goes on
23rd December 2009 | 1 comments | 2 people like this
Clueless Star dies shrieked the headlines of one tabloid.
I was a bit puzzled I must admit. Firstly, couldn't they be more specific? Clueless Star. That could be anyone on TV or in the charts at the moment. Then, it transpired, they were talking about Brittany Murphy who sadly died on Sunday night.Clueless Star! That might be stretching things a bit. She had a small part in Clueless. Wouldn't something related... -
F the X Factor - A triumph for good sense

Tis the season to be jolly.
It most certainly is and many, many people will have derived unbridled joy from seeing the latest X Factor winner consigned to the dustbin of history where he so richly deserves to be. He didn't make the number one spot due to the efforts of hundreds of thousands of people who were sick and tired of having their choices made for them by the media.Rage Against the... -
Securing the Xmas number One

At last!
In a world of mediocrity and apathy there is something to celebrate. Somewhere out there, people have decided that they are sick and tired of being spoon fed the kind of substandard rubbish that dominates the airwaves and the media and they are rebelling.The Xmas number one is not the formality that it normally is. That coveted (and, these days, all too easy to reach) pinnacle of marketing achievement... -
Tiger, Tiger, Burning bright

This probably isn't the most popular viewpoint in the world but I must say hurray for Tiger Woods.
I don't mean his golfing prowess I mean his cheating with half the population of the world. Now, personally, I hate squeaky clean celebrities in any field (or bunker in Tiger's case). How I used to wish daily to hear that Torvill and Dean had been found running a brothel in Soho. How I... -

So, it's over at last.The dreams are dashed, the masses satisfied for another year, the tinsel that was everywhere is now crushed under foot and unwanted. No, I'm not talking about the end of Xmas I'm talking about the end of the X Factor.Completely unsurprisingly, Joe McElderry triumphed and we now have yet another manufactured pop non-entity to pollute the airwaves and to come unwanted into our homes on the covers... -
A truly fantastically brilliant read!

When did everything become so brilliant?
I enquired about the latest Roland Emmerich movie “2012” the other day and was told it was “awesome”. Similarly, when asking what the newest album spewed out by Robbie Williams was like I was told he was a legend. The newest episode of Dr Who is apparently genius.
WRONG!
A cure for cancer would be awesome. Robin Hood was a legend. Einstein was a genius.

X Factor: The Land of Hype and Glory?
20th October 2009 | 1 comments | 3 people like this
On Sunday night, Cheryl Cole allegedly mimed her latest dismal offering in front of a rapturous audience at the X Factor. The following day many newspapers carried this as front page news. A singer (and I use the word very loosely) sings a song and gets congratulated for it! Isn't this the same principal as giving a plumber a standing ovation for fixing a leaking tap, letting a doctor do a lap...

More porn please

An article in a national newspaper recently claimed that the greatest threat to modern marriage was Internet pornography.
What complete garbage. People, it proclaimed, could become as addicted to Internet pornography as they could to crack, alcohol or cigarettes. Apparently some men spend up to eight hours a day looking at sexual images on the net. If that’s the case then perhaps they should be awarded medals for their stamina.Porn is harmless. ... -
Cinema Daze

Is it stupidity? Is it ignorance? Or is it just me? Is anyone else of the opinion that the world is a much ruder place these days?
The reason I ask is because I’ve just been to the cinema. After driving along roads where a number of cars didn’t bother to indicate (rude I would have said), pedestrians walked into the road without looking (rude and potentially suicidal), where staff grunted... -
A Not so special relationship

First let’s just say that the 9/11 attacks were appalling.
On this anniversary of those attacks we should all pay our respects to the families of those who lost loved ones.
However, am I the only one who is a little bit fed up with the American’s penchant for wallowing in self pity? For the last week or so we have been bombarded with documentaries about 9/11. Phone calls from the Twin...
CONTRIBUTOR
Warhol's Cat
Warhol's Cat will hunt down the egos of the famous, the wannabes and the publicity seeking like a hyena chasing a wounded buffalo. Warhol's Cat will tear celebrity culture apart and spread it all over the walls. Where the media fawn over them, Warhol's Cat will expose them for what they really are. Demons set loose to lower the standards and drag the world down into mediocrity. For too long these fevered egos have been spreading their poison and it is time for someone to make them pay. No longer will those who call themselves celebrities be able to rest easy in their beds. Warhol's Cat has their scent and will not stop until they are defeated, humiliated or driven to seek legal advice. All those with so little talent and so much money on both sides of the Atlantic should beware because Warhol's Cat is loose and it's hungry. Look upon me and tremble.
