GRIMEY NEWS

Tulisa surgery shock!

All of these pretty celebs having facelifts... why the hell?

What is going on in their brains? Clearly a sign of unhappiness with yourself when you’re having surgery.

Tulisa really didn’t need it.

Primark baby drama!

T Rolf Harris what a shock

W

ell this one was found guilty like Max Clifford all these old blokes spending the rest of their life behind bars So sickening what these so called role models get up to behind closed doors!

his is the last place you would think a baby would be born. The breaking news that a lady was coming out of Primark shopping and someone spotted a head coming out from below which showed she was ready to give birth, right there and then.

Luckily there were three nurses available to help her do the birth as she went into labour right there and crowds of people watched and cheered the arrival of a new birth.

Quite fascinating

GRIMEY NEWS

magaluf Oral girl goes viral

A

video of a young girl having fun in Maguluf goes viral quicker than Tulisa’s sex tape.

This video shows the raver giving blowjobs to more then ten men on the dancefloor allegedly for an approximately £3 bottle of

Cava.

The things people get up to on holiday eh? Don’t these people know you can catch something????

Oh dear oh dear...

SPOTLIGHT

Drake Drops Out of 2014

H

eadline act Drake will NOT be performing at the Birmingham or London Wireless Festival this weekend.

The shock announcement was made on Thursday 3rd, where Drake was quoted as saying; “To my beloved fans, it truly breaks my heart that I won’t be able to perform as planned at Wireless and Roskilde this weekend. I got sick a few days ago and although I am on my way to bouncing back, my doctors have made it clear that I am not physically fit to fly or deliver the performance my fans expect and deserve from me. I will be focused on resting for a quick recovery. I have the best fans in the world and I can’t wait to come back to make

more incredible memories together.”

To cover his spot, London attendees will be graced with the prescence of 21 Grammy winning, multi talented rapper/ producer and megastar Kanye West for a second night in a row.

Birmingham will get an extended set from Rudimental, who will now be joined by an array of very special guests.

Anyone attending Wireless on the 4th July in Birmingham will also receive £20 of ‘Wireless Credit’ upon arrival at the site, which will be usable on everything on the day, from food and drink, to merchandise and the funfair.

Sad to hear that Drake won’t be gracing the stages this time around, but hopefully he’ll be better and back on the road soon.

atching shows like this makes you release that there are some people in the music business that actually care about the music and tradition of Hip Hop, RnB, Reggae & Jazz etc.

The BET awards were nothing short of incredible this year. A celebration of black peoples success in the entertainment business.

It has to be acknowledged as Nikki Minaj said in her speech, that there was a time when as black people we were blacked OUT, yet now we run our own network.

COVER STORY This is different. It’s really amazing to see all the stars both young an old in the urban genres come out in full force to celebrate 14 years of BET in America.

BET Networks CEO Debra Lee appeared on stage to talk about this year’s 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

“We are here on this stage tonight because this generation of citizens stood, marched, sat, moved and refused to move in order to make this country better,” There was a lot of emotion and it was bigger than just music. BET is celebration of freedom and expression and it’s good for the new generation to see.

This network will continue to inspire and make the stars of tomorrow Thank God for BET!

COVER STORY

NIKKI MINAJ’s OUTSTANDING SPEECH I really don’t even care if I get my credit or if I don’t. I don’t look at myself as a female rapper ’cause I know what I do,” she declared She went on with her thank-yous, fearing the cameras would cut her off, but they let her keep going with this non-sequitur: “I just want to say that the other day, literally, I didn’t tell anybody this, I really thought I was about to die,” she said.

“Like, I was saying my prayers to die. And I didn’t even want to call an ambulance because I thought, ‘Well, if I call the ambulance, it’s gonna be on TMZ.’ And I would rather sit there and die. And it made me realize — I don’t care anymore what anybody gotta say.”

Coming Soon Paolo Nutini LG Arena, Birmingham 5 November 2014

W

ithout doubt 2014 is the year of Paolo Nutini. Acclaimed third album ‘Caustic Love’ went straight in at number 1, quickly reaching platinum status, and now with his biggest tour to date scheduled for the autumn, Paolo Nutini looks set

to cement his place as one of the country’s leading artists.

Currently playing a few dates in the USA, Paolo returns later this month for what promises to be a sensational Glastonbury performance on Friday 26th June (Other Stage). He is also performing as the penultimate act at this year’s T in the Park on Saturday 12th July and V Festival in August.

WHITE DEE’S COLUMN

‘White Dee’s’ Column

house, teenage hissy fits, Caitlin has finally finished her GCSE’s.

I cant remember me being like that when i took my exams (a few years ago haha) but no doubt I was.

So congratulations to everyone out there who have finished their exams and studied hard, and await their results in August.

Hey Guys and Gals!

Well im still hanging on in there and still trying to get used to all this hustle and bustle that’s surrounding me and the family, not too sure if I ever will though - but I’m gonna surf this wave and see where it takes me.

Had a great day on Sunday at Planet Ice Coventry, in aid of Macmillan Cancer Charity - oh my days, haven’t been ice skating since I was about 14 years old and really didn’t hold much hope that I would actually stay standing upright - but I did, yay me.

Took Gerrard with me and for someone who has never been ice skating in his life, he took off like an Olympic speed skater.

Met some amazing people, we took part in an ice skating lesson, met some of the characters from Disney’s Frozen and above all made some well needed money for such a good cause.

On another completely different end of the scale, I was invited to France to cook for a 80th Birthday party in a little bistro, called Chez Maebro in a small very beautiful village.

A lot has been said about me and my friends and a lot of people presume we live on take outs and junk food, not in my house.

My kids have been brought up on fresh fruit and veg since they were babies, and thats mainly thanks to daddy dearest and his 4 allotments. One take out a week at a push for my gang.

This experience was a million miles away from cooking at home, watched eagerly by a french chef, as I prepared the veg and gutted the fish, yep I definitely like to get

my hands in there when cooking.

I must say even though I felt the pressure, I can stand the heat and will stay in the kitchen, dinner was served and they whooped it off, so I can safely say the French enjoyed my home made fish stew.

Just before I sign off another column, after a few very hard stressful weeks of no sleep, constant tantrums, screaming around the

I bet every woman out there with a child in Year 11 cannot believe their babies have grown up way to fast and have now officially left school. I wish you all the best for the future.

Much love and until next time take care Dee

ARE U READY READY READY READY READY READY READY READY?

Word on the street CHANTELLE

*SAY LIKE ELEPHANT MAN

I

’m sure you’ve heard that question PLENTY of times!

Well people, yes we do procrastinate or just take our time sometimes, don’t lie! But the question is WHY? I believe that sometimes we put things off because we have more tedious things to deal with first...

But if it’s tedious, why not just get it out the way?

Or is it fear?

Fear is a major setback! It can cause assumptions, de-masculine, decrease confidence, burn at your self esteem and increase infidelity, to name just a FEW! Fear is simply this False Evidence Appearing Real Simple yet very true, we can dream up our own FEARS and

maximize them to another level through the wonderful power of imagination!

And where does your imagination come from...the mind!

MY imagination is very vivid which is why I don’t watch horrors!

If our imagination is SO powerful that it can slow us down, put things off and generate barriers just imagine what is else it can do!

Apparently, yourself thin! ate your very All through THOUGHT!

you can THINK AND you can creown HAPPY place! the power of

The hilarious weekly column

In terms of ‘taking our time’ well that’s not too much of a flaw, is it?

Paying attention to detail, assessing and evaluating a situation all takes time, so it’s okay to take time out to do that?

Check that your clothes look good but it’s not okay to take time to level the feet on the washing machine because it leaks?

QUICK THING VS LONG THING, VANITY VS NEEDITY Are you ‘really’ ready?
