Was it wight for the BBC to Suspend Wossy??

I don't think there is anyone in Britain who is unaware of the problems Jonathon Ross and Russell Brand have caused the BBC over the last two weeks.

All over Brand doing what he does best, shagging.

But have the BBC acted appropriately? and who is really to blame?

I would argue that you can expect nothing less from Russell Brand, he is notoriously innappropriate and that is what people like about him. He draws big crowds with his rudness and crudness and that is why the Beeb hired him. He did not act out of character in any way.

I think he was right to resign. He has recognised that the public feel he went too far and apologised, but would rather take himself out of the situation entirely than restrict himself in future. At least he's standing up for what he believes-even if it is vulgar to the majority.

Ross

It is Ross the public are most disappointed with. He is a family man, a prime time entertainer and a very talented reporter/prestenter-which is certainly highlighted by his £6 millon a year. He is not the sort of person the public would expect to phone up an old man and yell "he fucked your granddaughter" down the phone and then proceed to make comments about sexually assulting the man.

He had a serious brain freeze.

The Beeb were right to suspend him. They could hardly sack him, as they'd be losing one of their most popular shows and he'd only go straight to Sky or Channel 4 and get even more money, but he needed to be punished.

By Jonathon's quitting of presenting the ITV television awards in December, it seems he agrees that he should be punished for his part in this diobolical lack of judgement.

BUT

Surely, it's really the BBC's fault? They ALLOWED the program to be aired. Sure Radio 2's director has resigned, but what about the program producers and editors?? Do they not feel partly to blame?? 

If you listen to the show, it sounds as though Ross and Brand realised they made a mistake- in my opinion they probably thought this segment would be edited out. I do not condole the hurt they may have caused Sachs, but if it had not been aired-I'm sure he would have been far less angy.

Why didn't the BBC producers realise this was innappropriate to broadcast?? 

You've gota go a long long way to find a better biscuit.

Woohoo! McVities have announced they are cutting the amount of saturated fat in their leading brand biscuits by half.

Hobnobs, Rich Tea, and Digestives will soon be much healthier!

I guess this means I can eat twice as many!

Skanky band t-shirts-height of cool?? We'll see Katie Perry in one next.

So today I was reading G2 like i always do on a Monday, when I stumbled across the fashion 'dilemmas'.

"I've recently noticed a lot of young women wearing T-shirts for bands that broke up years before they were born. What's that about?" Malcom Store.

And Hadley gives the answer that basically wearing manky "skanky band t shirts" are cool. Not only that  but "it doesn't matter what band-any will do".

Granted Hadley says all this somewhat tongue in cheek, so please don't think I'm laughing at her, (I actually really enjoy her quirky style)

But this whole thing brings me to my point-the things people will do to look cool.

"Coolness"

Kate Moss is seen wearing a "skanky band t shirt" (she is particularly fond of THE CLASH), so everybody else goes mad over them....eugh (my friend Stuart donned a primal scream t today hehe-clearly he models himself on Moss)

MP's (notably Mandy and Osbourne) aspire to a lifestyle greater than they can afford hence cavorting around with oligarchs and getting themselves in sticky situations.

Idiots like Katie Perry. She is stupid enough to think posing with a knife will make her more popular, 'cooler' and help her appeal to a younger generation. After this backfires she then has the disgusting cheek to pull the same pose, but with a spoon. She is ridiculing all those people who have lost their lives to knife crime and basically saying "f*$% you" to everyone who criticised her for her insensitivity.

Be yourself

Nowadays, everyone wants to be cool and like someone else, what exactly is wrong with being yourself?

If you want to wear a skanky band t shirt do so-don't let me stop you.....

In fact i might go out in a Pussycatdolls t shirt this week! 

Strictly Racist?? Concerns over BBC's top show.

After last weeks dance off Olympic hero John Regis and News of the World has declared Strictly Come Dancing a racist show. Please.

Last week Don Warrington, and Heather Small were in the bottom two and faced a dance off. They are both Black. Does this seriously constitute as racist??

Don Warrington, was an awful dancer. Fact. This actually really annoyed me, not because I hold any sentiments for him, (I don't actually even know who he is) but because I love Lillia. 

In my opinion, she is by far the best dancer/choreographer on the show. The judges clearly agree with me too, every other word is about her wonderful, imaginative choreography.

She also has a gorgeous figure and does not look half starved like some of the other professionals on the show.

But her skill does not change the fact that Don could not dance- the judges only gave them 23 points.

Granted it was not the lowest score given that evening, but it was hardly a good one.

And yes there were white contestants that had lower scores that were saved  by the public vote, but honestly, who WOULDN'T vote for John Sergeant?

Furthermore, if the show is so racist, then how did Alesha Dixon win last year??

It's not just talent

The show is about dancing talent, but it is also about appeal and likability. The stars need to capture the audiences hearts and if you're a B Lister with limited interpersonal skills it's likely that you'll be booted off quickly.

It is just as Erin Boag says 

"John Sergeant was the under dog. Andrew is in GMTV, Mark Foster-he got his chest out. It just happened to be Heather and Don in the bottom".

That's exactly it. It just happened.

Strictly is a show where you vote for people to stay IN. Not too boot them out in a racist frenzy.

Strictly Common Sense please people.

BBC news reports headteachers' going to Arizona-AFTER they've come back!

HA.

If the BBC had read my blog two weeks ago they would have known about this before the teachers had gone! There's no point in making a fuss about it now.

That's really all there is to be said on the matter.

Although... my mum had an excellent time, lots of bargain shopping was done. Hehe.

BBC article

Sarah Palin, Rainbow High

Eyes, hair, mouth, figure, dress, voice, style MONEY

It costs nearly 100 grand a month to look like Sarah Palin. No wonder she looks good.

 In September the Republicans spent £92,000 on her image.

This included 

• £46,186 in a single trip to a department store in Minneapolis
  
• £30,397 in boutiques in NYC ans St Louis, Missouri
• £2,900 on hair and makeup 
• £3,000 on her husband
• £181 on her six month old son Trig!!

Her trade mark glasses cost $375, and I'm sure she'll have more than one pair.

It's alright for some eh.

Palin has never been photographed wearing the same outfit twice, similar granted, but never the same.

It really makes you feel sorry for all those desperate American house wives that are trying to emulate her look.

Republicans

It's nice to know the American political parties have so much money to waste, I'm all for looking good, but i think even Victoria Beckham draws the line at 100k a month.

rotten rotherham-at least thats what we now all think

Jamie Oliver's new Ministry of Food campaign has thrust Rotherham right into the for front of the publice eye. 

For being possibly the crappest town in Britian.

Understandably the residents are not too thrilled.Debbie Johnson, who works in the Thornton's in the high street says the program

"made us all look stupid. It even made me ashamed of being from Rotherham"

I'm not surprised. Not when the poster girl for the town is a women who DOESN'T know what boiling water looks like! Honestly.

But not only are the people being publicly humiliated- they are also being fleesed by the program.

£££ for Jamie

In good old Jamie fashion, there's big money involved. The city council and the Rotherham NHS have agreed to spend £100,000 keeping the cooking centre open for a year.

Tony Mannion, a Conservative councillor said "I am absolutely astounded that we are subsidising Jamie Oliver and Channel 4 to make programs"

Well we already know Jamie's biggest cause is his own.
