Rest in peace, moonwalker..

So like everybody else on THIS PLANET I was sad to hear Michael Jackson passed away, on Thursday night.

It was certainly a shock. And I didn't know quite how to feel. He's just so goddam famous you know, an icon, an inspiration, a star! Although his private life was heavily criticised, I still don't believe 'the rumours' and think he was simply a misunderstood man.

His music will live on forever :) I mean, when do you NOT hear a MJ song played in a club/ bar/ karaoke bar/ wedding reception/ shop etcc???????

Exactly. Point made!

Yeeee Heeee!

R.I.P King of Pop.

A rant.

Why do office workers have to:


a) slap down their phone. Why can't they replace the handset gently?

b) have foghorn voices. Why can't they speak normally, why shout, why shout SO LOUD THAT THE BIRDS FLYING OVERHEAD WILL BE DISTRACTED?

c) drink gallons of tea all day? That's bad for you and they must be alien coz they don't pee half as much as you'd expect them to!

Ooo- and pen-clicking!!!!!!!!

Be our guest, be your guest!

So I was browsing my favourite fashion website, the addictive ASOS.COM, and stumbled across a new range of Disney jewellery:

'Kidada for Disney Couture.'
Kidada Jones is the designer (daughter of Quincy).

Those of you who never knew Disney did a range of jewellery, here's the lowdown.
The Disney Couture line takes the classic characters we all grew up with, and spins them into modern, stylized pieces of jewellery that are way fashionable and above all fun!

Of course, just having been to Walt Disney World in May, I'm in love with all things Disney and wish I could afford to buy some (or all) of these pieces :(

These are the times you wish you were a celebrity. Alexa Chung was whinging in an interview last week that she gets sent TOO many free things. Poor her, lol!

Here is the complete Beauty and the Beast range. I love it!!!!!

Why are hard-working people the ones who are punished?

My friend told me something today and I am mad!

Her mum has been confined to a wheelchair for the last ten years. Her dad has been her main carer, while managing to hold down a full time job. But he became very ill last year and had to give up work, so can't help her mum anymore.

Her mum was 'allowed' four toilet visits per day by carers. Unfortunately she couldn't cope with just four toilet visits per day (COULD YOU?), so a fifth visit per day had to be arranged, to be paid for privately, directly to the care agency- at an extra cost of £400. Anyway, my friend received a bill from her council for £916 instead of their usual £600 bill.

Apparently the council decided that because they have savings they can afford to pay more!

Understandably she, and her parents, are very upset because her dad has worked his entire life, paying his NI contributions and taxes to keep money aside 'just in case.'

So the councils in this country are not content with charging us all with heavy council tax, they wanna take it a step further and abuse a family who clearly needs help.

BASTARDS!!!!!

'Same day, different shit'

I know people only mean well by asking how work is, but really is it ever good?

Everyone tends to say 'I'm good, work is fine, work is good' because that's just the norm, we're expected to answer a question in a civilised and polite way...but bollocks to that!

Work is crap, work is awful, work is, actually, soul-destroyingly-dull!

Being chained to your desk for 8 hours a day (or more if you're really unlucky) is my version of hell on earth.

Throw in a foghorn-voice boss, skinny women with attitude problems and a crap canteen and you're onto a hellish winner of an existence.

There has to be more to life than that! Good- I've said it :P

Discovering the magic of H.P.Lovecraft

I had actually never heard of H.P. Lovecraft before. Shame on me.

My knowledgeable friend Sarah told me about him, since me and her are serious horror fans!

I found that H.P.Lovecraft was/is a very well respected author and has become a cult figure in the genre of horror stories.

Stephen King has sung his praises many times.

Today I went out and bought a huge 900-odd page volume called 'Necronomicon: The Best Weird Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft.'

It's gonna keep me busy for a while but the reviews have been awesome, so I guess I'm in for a treat. I heard his stories are particularly disturbing, not that hearing that puts me off in any way!

We shall see...........

How am I NOT SURPRISED!

Poor old Robert Pattison was mobbed by girls (and guys) in New York yesterday. It was literally as soon as her left his trailer, ha ha! And not even the police could control the hoards of screaming fans!

This guy can't go anywhere without people throwing themselves on him! It's funny to us, but I'm sure he just wants to use the loo without people peeping through the hole!

Ohhhh it's a hard life! :P

Foxy lady

Who doesn't think Megan Fox is hot? She is just so gorgeous......I'm looking forward to the second Tranformers movie.

Apparently EVERY STUDIO in Hollywood is eager to sign her up. She is undoubtedly the most in-demand actress at the moment. Watch what this one does....

Everyone's green with envy! :P

The gorgeous and ever popular pop-starlet Cheryl Cole made all the headlines recently with That Melissa Obadash Swimsuit, costing a mouth-watering £375!

Guess it was worth it for the amount of attention she recieved, but still, around £25 is all I'd spend on a bikini/swimsuit!

I think the cozzie is kind of snazzy. It's lime-green and covered in little mirrors (not crystals).

A lot of columnists have slated Cheryl saying that this swimsuit screams 'I'm filthy rich but have absolutely no taste.' I disagree. I reckon she just thought 'ah pet this is cool, I really like this.' And bought it.

Did I say I am a fan of Girls Aloud?

"You look young!"

So my 24th birthday came and went, and amazingly I look younger (I don't, by any means, feel this way).

When I was in Walt Disney World I wondered why people talked to me like I was a kid......because I look like one. My friends told me I looked about 14 in my photos, heck.

Looking young is one thing, but to look TOO young is another! To top things off, my friend got me an alice band with a bow on it, as a birthday present. Now I look like I'm 10.

Alas, I await the day when I turn 40 and wait for the 'you look like you're 20!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSS.

To vote or not to vote, THAT is the question.

I has having this discussion with my work colleague today about voting.

We agreed that MPs are all as bloody useless as the other. So what is the point in voting, if really, you have NO faith in any of the parties, and just don't want to vote for any?

Of course, if we all had this attitude then we would be in a mess. Can you imagine, a democracy where nobody votes?!

Still, I HATE it when people ask you WHO you're voting for. They only ask to judge. Personally, I wouldn't ask anyone who they're voting for because it's personal. I think it's rude. Full stop. It is private and should remain so.

If you're not voting (and you're a woman) then you will be told off, because women had to chain themselves up to railings to give you the chance to vote. Wrong! They did that to give us a chance to CHOOSE IF WE WANTED TO VOTE.

Men are such arrogant pigs sometimes.

Why do people really need to know? Perhaps they got bored of talking about the weather. Since the sun has been out, the Brits have had less to whinge about. Now it's time to find something NEW to whinge about.

Sigh!.............

Slim Shady DOES have a sense of humour

So, the whole gay TV presenter Brun falling butt-first into Eminem's face was STAGED!

I'm disappointed. I wished Eminem had got really annoyed and stormed out for real!!!!

They should dunk horse manure on Avril Lavigne next year!

TUUUUUBE SURFIN' !

I engaged in a bit of tube surfin' this morning.

COPYRIGHTED TERM. Created by moi!

Have you ever done it?

You put your feet wide apart, kind of have your arms up around your sides, and instead of clinging on to those dirty slimy germ-infested rails on the tube, you balance to keep yourself standing up, completely unaided, and looking like your surfin an invisible board.

I'm pretty good at it. It's well easy on the straighter tube lines, but ones like the Northern (that jerk around corners like a flippin' rollercoaster) are not so easy!

Give it a go today. Try not to fall over and look like a right spaz though!

Will the real Slim Shady get a sense of humour please!

So stale US rapper Eminem was less than impressed when comedian Sasha Baron Cohen, dressed as his newest character Bruno, fell butt-first into his face.

He was so 'offended' he and his entourage left immediately. Oh man, get over yourself, and get a sense of humour! When was the last time you saw this guy laugh, or even smile? Exactly!

I suppose the show's execs should have seen this one coming. Nevermind. At least it was funny for the rest of us (and the celebrity crowd!) ;)

Standing still...

Somebody rang to speak with my boss today. He asked him whether I was 'new.' My boss laughed and said "She's been here for years."

Oh. Good. God.

That is probably the worst thing you can hear, that you've been at a company so long that you're a piece of antique furniture firmly wedged to the floor. This is a sign to get out. Oh wait- there's a recession- I forgot :P

Twillight-mania!

So, who hasn't seen the romanic vampire flick Twilight? Shock, horror if you haven't!

English actor Robert Patterson has aclaimed 'sex symbol' status overnight, a hoard of faithful-horny-teenage fans, paparazzi lightbulbs flashing from every angle at the Cannes film festival, the MTV movie awards etc. All this must be a lot for the apparently 'shy' actor!

I heard today that there will be a Twillight cruiseship sailing soon, where fans get to 'hang' with some of the actors, will bid for stuff in an auction and visit scenes used in the movie. Pretty lame, but I know it'll make loads of money.

Then you have HMV, full of Twillight books, Twillight movie companions, Robert Pattison unofficial autobiographies. And there are countless websites devoted to just this movie and it's young stars (Perezhilton.com loves talking Twillight).

Everyone has been talking about it, especially now the New Moon (second installment of the franchise) trailer is out. Most of my friends are infatuated with Patterson's Edward Cullen, this sexy vampire who falls for quiet and plain mortal girl.

It's a good movie. I'm just amazed how much attention it's recieved!!!!!!!! Are you?

Piers you say?

Say what you like about Piers Morgan, but he is one of the most talked about newspaper editors of our time!
Now he is more of a 'celebrity,' being one of the judges on Britain's Got Talent and writing a column for the Daily Mail's Live magazine, on the weekend.

I think he's great. If I ever met him I would tell him so. He speaks his mind, doesn't give a toss what anybody thinks (or says) about him which is to be admired! I mean, he has many a celebrity enemy, the latest one being Stephen Fry who called him a 'pleb.'

What he said in his column, as a response to Fry saying (about MP's expenses): "It's not that important, it really isn't," was absolutely spot on. Pier's stated that MPs buying porn, bath plugs and second homes is a bloody big deal, and cannot be compared to journalists and other staff members fiddling their expenses. It is absolutely NOT the same! The greasy fat cats are stealing from the poor taxpayer where as the hacks steal from their rich companies.

I thoroughly enjoy reading Pier's column 'The Insider.' It is witty, humourous and allows us an insight into Pier's often glamourous and surreal world. If you get a chance, you must read it :D
