It dawned on me two nights ago that all the beautiful men are in England. No, I'm not being prejudiced to the American Assholes we have here (Totally not) but, as I came across a British television show, Skins, that is what I gathered. When I finally took a trip to London last summer, I was met with lots and LOTS of eye candy. It's not like I didn't expect that, I mean, you find eye candy anywhere you go, but I was overwhelmed. Sure England has its share of...undesirables, but so does every country/state/town/city/zipcode. HOWEVER! I just can't resist those English accents. And it helps that the majority of Europe is Blonde and Blue-eyed - always a plus since I hope to marry into a hot gene pool.

But anyway, I've been cyberstalking pictures of Mitch Hewer and Nicholas Hoult. So gorgeous, I think. I'm a softy for blondes and dimples. ;)

SO! What I have decided today, was that in som point of my life, I will move to England. Not sure where. Probably around Westminster, since my man Peter Pan "resides" near Kensington Gardens. WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL BY THE WAY. Well anywho, I'm off to Barnes and Noble trying to find a good book to help me forget how not-so-exciting my life is.

Go watch SKINS! :]

Good Evening Nearly Midnight Buzzneters,

Today has been an interesting day for me so here goes my day well morning for you all who actually read this.

I went to bed around 3 am last night why because I could not sleep at all! Why? I really don't know why I just couldn't and I barely ate the other day which made it stressful with not being able to sleep.

This morning I woke up around 7 am Why? well there's a fur ball name Oliver who's a cat that made racket! I really wasn't in the mood so I being tired as hell walks out of my bed room and told her to shut the fuck up in a low voice because the rest of the house hold was asleep still. So I go back in my bedroom for not even 5 minutes once more Oliver made racket this went on for about 30 times. Finally I had enough with my favortie cat dragged my blanket out and laid out on the couch she finally shut up and sat on the floor and fell asleep happy and finally got to sleep as well.

Soon I groan feeling something on my ear opening my eye staring daggers at my kitten Willow her paw on my ear she laid on my body and decided to sleep. After sleeping with a purring and constantly licking itself kitten I got sick of it and decided to stay up with my body sore I was going to write.

Even writting seemed to be impossible because Willow decided to come on the table and lie on my note book after trying to get her away from me it seemed usless to do anything this morning. So I had lunch watched 'Being Human' (Which by the way is amazing watch it sometime!) on BBC American On Demand my dad got up from his work nap he was in a bitchy mood so that was the down side. Oh and I watched the last episode of Nurse Jackie with my dad too :)

Went to get my mum's check cashed with dad, went out to eat with my family at Pizza Cottage

Today in the news as you may have heard the two women were free from North Korea which is a big thank you to Mr. Bill Clinton and The rest of whoever else i missed half of it helped these women out glad their safe and back with their families.

Speaking of Mr. Clinton my dad and I argued that Bill Clinton served two time as President my dad said it was two I'm sure it was one we yelled about for how knows how long so my question is did he serve two years like my dad says or I am I right one year? comment and let me know.

Oh and if people think I have this pretty fun and strange life that I might live in an appartment, house, or outside NOPE I live in a trailer park yeap ClaraZombie lives in a trailer that reminds me of old 50's or 60's cracker box and the reason why I act like I have to a good life is because I do have a good life just living in a rectangel sounds fun right?

Bonjour!

After the recent Russell Brand/Jonathan Ross scandal, which I already mentioned Brand resigned because of, it has now been stated that Ross has been suspended from the BBC for 3 months without pay. People are already spreading rumours that Ross may not return to the BBC at all, we will have to see. I suppose it is easier for Russell Brand to cope without his career at the BBC as he is on several shows on channel 4 and has recently starred in many hit films. Ross, however, depends on the BBC to receive his salary of 6million a year and is currently tied in to contracts with them which do not allow him to work outwith the BBC, having said that would he really wish to return to ITV?

Just as we thought this "shock horror" news had calmed down the BBC television show "Mock the Week" has now received several complaints due to some comments made about the queen. I have to admit that to add to my fury the episode which was last aired was a re-run from an earlier series and I am only assuming that no one complained when it first came out. Also, the topic on the show was "Things the Queen would not say..." ergo the comedians were not suggesting that the Queen would have said any of these things, quite the opposite if any of these thick minded people had bothered to read the "Scenes We'd Like To See" heading.

The point of Mock The Week is implied in it's title and the fact that it is hosted by a comedian, the teams are comedians and the guests are comedians certainly suggests to me that the things said are meant to be of comedic value (i.e. just for a laugh and not to be taken too seriously) It seems that people these days don't know how to take a joke but then I suppose anyone reading this who disagrees with my point of view will just think that the younger generation doesn't know the difference between a joke and seriously stepping over the line.

I can't understand why, if people are so shocked and appauled by what they see on television, they don't just stop watching these programmes. If everyone of those people had just stopped watching and taken no notice to the program then ratings would have dropped but instead more and more people are now viewing and causing ratings to go through the roof.

It all just seems ridiculous to me!

Bonjour!

It is not often that I have strong feelings about what is going on in the press but I feel that I must also have my say on a current issue concerning Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross.

If you don't already know the short version of the story is that Russell & Jonathan said some vulgar things on Andrew Sach's answering machine about Brand having sex with Sach's grandaughter who is a member of burlesque dance troupe "The Satanic Sluts" and now the nation has been ripped apart at the seems over the issue.

This caused a mass debate to ensue and tens of thousands of cmplaints to be made to the BBC including one from Prime-Minister himself Gordon Brown stating that something must be dne about the issue.

There are several points concerning this issue whic aggravate me:
1. Although Russell mantioned to Jonathan that he had sex with Sach's grandaughter this could have been cut out of the radio show as it was pre-recorded.
2. It was Jonathan Ross who shouted out whilst Brand was leaving Sach's a message that Russell had sex with Andrew Sach's grandaughter.
3. After Jonathan shouted this out and Russell had finished on the phone Russell noted to Jonathan that even though the earlier comments could have been cut out of the show they had no way of removing the message from Sachs answerphone.
4. Someone from the BBC was supposed to listen to the show and decide if it was fit for airing or not why have they not been punished over this issue?
5. Sach's grandaughter admitted to having a sexual relationship with Brand which doesn't really give her a leg to stand on.
6. It was around a week after the show aired that the press cottoned on to what had happened on the Radio 2 show yet the press complains that no statement has yet been made by the BBC (probably because after such a long time they hadn't thought anything of it) .
7. Most of the people currently complaining about said radio show have never even listened to it. Many people are just jumping on the bandwagon due to a dislike for Brand or Ross or in many cases because they simply think that standards are not as good as they used to be and the youth of today are all yobbish hoodies running round impregnating each other.
8. During his suspension Brand has now resigned from the BBC meaning that there is a possibility that we will never again get to listen to a Russell Brand radio show or podcast. "So what" Some of you will say...

Many people don't seem to understand the attraction to Russell Brand, and I don't mean attraction in any physical or sexual way, the thing is when you listen to Russell on his radio show it feels as if you are sat at home with a friend who is telling you a story. When Russell gets excited about something I feel myself getting excited too and I know I am not the only person who does feel this way!

The loss of his Saturday show will be a great loss for the 2 Million people who listened to it every week as I am sure that they, like me, saw it as being one of their highlights, something which they could enjoy and laugh along with and something which I always made sure I had time to Listen too even if it was over the podcast.

With the Credit Crunch truly at its height and faith in the government dropping by the minute they will probably revel in the fact that something has taken the headlines away from them. Gordon Brown chipping in about how he thinks it is a disgrace... is it only me that sees this as a publicity stunt so that the people of britain can see that he is sticking up for "what is right" and how he thinks people deserve to be treated better? If people deserve to be treated so well then why not lower tax rates, encourage business within Britain rather than depending so much from imports and sort out the well being of the nation as a whole rather than worrying about one man finding out that his 23 year old grandaughter has had sex with someone.

Basically, all the press has done is aware more people to the fact that Brand has had sex with Sach's grandaughter which surely will only have hurt him more knowing that it went from 2 Million people knowing to the entire population of britain knowing what has happend!

*cries hysterically*

Yes it is true, after leaving those inappropriate messages on Andrew Sachs voicemail Russell Brand has left the BBC.

Here is his official statement ...

I have apologised to Andrew Sachs for the rude messages I left on October 18 and he has graciously accepted.
As I only do the radio show to make people laugh Ive decided that given the subsequent coverage I will stop doing the show. Ive loved working for the BBC and am very proud of the shows myself, Matt Morgan, Nic Philps, Mr Gee and Noel Gallagher have made and I apologise to all of them for damaging their careers - except Noel, whose band are doing quite well. I got a bit caught up in the moment and forgot that at the core of the rude comments and silly songs were the real feelings of a beloved and brilliant comic actor and a very sweet and big hearted young woman. Apologies are also owed to the loyal listeners of the show who enjoyed its shambolic spirit and anarchy and will be upset that it cannot continue. I take complete responsibility and offer nothing but love and contrition and I hope that now Jonathan and the BBC will endure less forensic wrath. Hare Krishna.

It is officially over. Goodbye podcasts, goodbye Matt Morgan, Mr Gee and Noel. GOODBYE RUSSELL : (

Oh yeah, Jonathan Ross got suspended from the BBC. haha, this is HIS fault, he shouted it out in the first place.

I am going to miss that show. Now I have nothing to listen to on a Sunday morning, and will never know whats going on in ol Russ life.

Shut her down boys, the dreams over.  

Ok, so Russell Brand has his own BBC Radio Show in the UK.

Recently, while presenting his show with guest, British TV Presenter, Jonathan Ross, he made prank calls to former Fawlty Towers actor, Andrew Sachs (for those who are at least aware of the show, he played Manuel) in which they claimed that Brand had sex with Sachs' granddaughter in detail.

They repeatedly called Sachs, leaving voicemail messages that were crude and offensive. All of this was pre-recorded and presented on Brand's Radio 2 show. Despite Sachs' pleas to BBC not to air the show, they went ahead with it.

With over 10,000 complaints from the British public, there are now calls to have both Brand and Ross fired from BBC.

 

I personally, think that it's disgusting. It's all well and good to push the boundaries of comedy but there are just some lines that shouldn't be crossed. Having said that, what the hell were the BBC thinking airing something so offensive after being asked not to by the person that this was most offensive too?

I'm pretty sure most people would know, I'm not a huge fan of Russell Brand and I don't find him at all amusing (I'm one of those people that don't particularly like the crude, bordering on offensive forms of comedy), but this has nothing to do with my personal feelings regarding Brand but more about how this sort of thing is becoming more and more acceptable in our society...and it sickens me.

 

Any thoughts?

I'm in the navy Fall Out Boy/Folie A Deux hoodie. Thanks to my cousin Jade (on my right) to printscreening this.

Fall Out Boy and Panic(!) at the Disco were the first proper bands I got into, when I started getting into music around 2005/2006. And I've loved them both ever since. I'm lucky enough to say that I've seen them both live a few times.

Wembley 22nd October 2008 was possibly the best night of my life. It was really mindblowing.

The entire new album from British rock band OASIS has been posted on several messageboards and fan forums well ahead of the official October 6 release date.  These new leaks of the anticipated DIG OUT YOUR SOUL cd come six weeks after one album track Falling Down, was also posted online.  Despite the full album showing up online, the BBC reports that the group will not move up the official release date.  This happened previously with OASIS, their prior cd, Don't Believe the Truth made its way onto the internet a month ahead of its official release date
