Joe, Joe Go away! Come again another...Never!

Is it me or is it categorically impossible to get away from the X-factor?
I am one of the minority who would rather pull my hair out than sit down every week for what seems like an eternity just to watch a bunch of amateurs 'sing'. At least In past years, the winners had talent, just like Alexandra Burke and Leona Lewis and even some runner ups like JLS, but this year, I didn’t think that there was much talent.

Granted, Jedward were entertaining, purely because they annoyed Simon Cowell So much. But I find it extremely hard to get away from the X-factor even though it finished a week ago, because the songs are all over the music channels, the radio stations, newspapers and magazines.

Literally just now, while I’m writing this, I have heard Joe Mc Elderry singing ‘The Climb’ 3 times, on different radio stations. The Climb, Honestly? And as for the whole Christmas Number 1, I believe that just once it would be better to not have some X-Factor ‘Winner’ as number 1. So I am in full support of the campaign from Rage Against The Machine to have Rock beat Cowell.

Good Luck Rage Against The Machine!

St Trinians: The Legend of Fritton's Gold- What?

I went out tonight to see the new St Trinians movie… and I soon wished that I hadn’t. Compared to the last film, which to be perfectly honest was great, it was appalling. I went in with an open mind which was slightly disappointed since I had found out that the infamous Ladies man, Russell Brand would not be returning as ‘Flash Harry’, and came out wishing that I had just stayed at home and watched paint dry.

There was no way near as much fun as the first one but it did include some new and fresh faces including Ashes to Ashes actress, Montserrat Lombard, as Zoe the ‘Goth’, replacing Paloma Faith in her role as Andrea as the top ‘Emo’. The role of Pomfrey played by Doctor Who favorite, David Tennant made me want to cry because the writers of the film gave him a role which annoyed me so much that I was began to slightly hate him. So really in the space of about 120 minutes, I went from loving one of my favorite actors to wanting to not see his face again in case it reminded me of the film.

As for the storyline, it includes, a treasure hunt, a secret organization, grave robbing, pirates, a woman hating ‘bad guy’ and a truly weird conspiracy theory. The story includes a confusing treasure hunt which leads from a graveyard to Eton school to the Globe theatre in London and includes the possession of Annabel Fritton by her ancestor and then we find that an ancestor of the Fritton family from the late 1500’s is actually a woman who was also the great William Shakespeare. All I can say is that if they decide to revisit these films again, they should have some new writers brought in.

This confused my greatly, Shakespeare was a woman? Unlikely but you never know. I guess we will never know…

Go Away and stop bothering me with your Apologies. Gah!




Just No.

Gelukkig Kerstfeest! (Merry Christmas)

Have you ever had the feeling that what you have bought one of your nearest and dearest is wrong?

I have bought Something lovely for one of my greatest, Jasper, ordered it off of the internet and it has finally arrived only for me too find that it's insciption is all in Dutch!

What to do? What to do?

Boys...Boys...Boys!

I have recently found myself in a situation that confuses me, and to be perfectly honest I don't like it, I have found myself battling with the scariest thing on earth. The emotions of teenage boys!

In the space of about 12 days I have been stalked by the interset of four different guys and it is scaring me. I'm not the greatest looking girl in the world, so all this random male attention is new too me. I can't cope with this attention, the four, now three, are annoying me.

But the only guy that I really did like, seems to have been lying to me so im slightly gutted at the moment.


But guys are guys and they come and go so the moral of my most personal and recent story is to not let a teenage boy get to you.

Team Robert Or Team Edward?

Many Girls out there have fled frantically to go and see the newest instalment of the Twilight saga, New Moon, which was released on the 20^th November 2009. Was it for the film, or just to see everybody favourite teenage heart-throb, Edward Cullen. Just the name can bring some fans to feel weak at the knees. And the popularity of Robert Pattinson has been boosted since the brooding Vampire was brought to our screens.

He has stolen the hearts of many fans, myself included, but it makes me question, would he be less attractive if he didn’t play one of the most loved Male characters in teenage fiction?

I want to say that I would love him if he didn’t play Edward Cullen, but I know this to be a lie that I would just be telling myself. Unfortunately for poor Robert, his main appeal is Edward. Women and Girls love to love a handsome, loving, slightly emotionally torn, brooding vampire because it is what we cannot have ourselves.

So to be perfectly honest, the Robert Pattinson fans, dubbed ‘Robsessed’ fans, are all mostly lying to themselves because they don’t want love the actor, they love the idea of Edward. So unless Robert is able to distinguish himself in a role that has more depth and appeal, he will always be known as Edward Cullen, everyone’s favourite ‘Vegetarian’, sparkly, golden eyed vampire.

A Gossip Columnist with Wit?

It comes from my past experience that good writers are hard to come by in the world of media. We are often bombarded with article from 'posh-spice wannabees and lovers'. Who only care about where celebs are, what they are wearing and just generally stalking them. God help the celeb if they sneeze around the so called journalist, before they know it, their will be headlines such as 'Top Celeb catches Swine flu'. But Alas! I have found a middle aged experienced journalist who can write about the celebrity culture here in Britain and across the waters to the States, without giving across a sense of pure passion and devotion to somebody that they are unlikely to have ever met.

And who is the journalist in question? Stuart Heritage is his Name and journalism is his game! He is a freelance journalist who sometimes writes for big name British newspapers such as The Guardian and The Independent.

He is Witty and comical and isn't scared to say what he thinks which often faces much criticism from different social groups. He often ‘bad mouths’ most American stars and receives negative opinions from the American public.

He writes about his interest but is able to make it readable for a wider audience and I generally enjoy reading his work. In my opinion, many more journalist who are interested in popular culture should take his example and write about the media, films, music and celebrities without being ‘in your face’ with celebrity gossip. I myself take his work and view it as very personal to my character.

OAP Mugs And Assaults Teenager?

UNLIKELY, don’t you think? Well so did Madison Peach until it happened to her.
Whilst on her way to a night out on Monday, Madison, 16, came across the old age pensioner in question, Ethel Harvey, outside her own house, calling for aid after seemingly dropping her shopping in the street. The teen gladly tried to lend a hand, before the pensioner pulled out a walking stick and gave Madison a blow to the head.
Leaving the teen unconscious, Mrs Harvey proceeded to steal Madison’s phone, Ipod and purse before making her get away. Thankfully, Madison awoke and was able to alert the police about the geriatric swindler before she got too far away.
Ethel Harvey was picked up by the police just outside Mulcaster Avenue, Grange Park and taken to the station for questioning.
A senior police officer declared, “When we first received Miss Peach’s call, we were sceptical. But it turned out to be truthful so we have taken Mrs Harvey in for questioning, she could face court if Miss Peach wishes to press charges”.
The teen replied “I won’t be pressing charges, it’s not worth it. I just want people to realise that it isn’t always teenagers as the culprits, we can also be victims.”
It seems the new sub-culture of old-timer ‘Hoodies’ has spread to Swindon, with various Granny Thugs preying on the youth.

The Mouse That Ate The Spider

Only black may be worn at Comic-book stores around the world, in mourning. Why? You might very well ask. The reason for this is the announcement that Marvel was bought out by the Disney Company for a staggering $4bn at the start of last September. This has caused mass outrage among comic-hero fans, who are unsure about the idea of a hybrid ‘Movie mash-ups’. It does raise some unusual possibilities, such as a Wolverine / Sleeping Beauty Romantic Comedy or The Ghost Rider entering Wonderland with Alice and the Mad Hatter.
Fans may take comfort that some of their well loved super-heroes are safe from the change as other motion picture studios own the rights to characters and stories, such as ‘The Fantastic Four’, which is owned by 20th Century Fox. This change could help to improve the state of some Marvel films, such as the X-men spin-off, Origins: Wolverine which, quite frankly, was a load of nonsense. To be perfectly honest, anything would make that film better. Even if it was bought out by Poundland, there would probably be some sort of improvement.
Fans are worried about the high action films being ‘watered-down’ to meet the Disney image, or just plainly ruined. Disney do not have a good record for comic book films, they created Condorman, do I really need to say much more? But they have created just one movie masterpiece, in Disney Pixar’s The Incredibles. But it seems that Marvel and Disney have been working together for a while now and this change is just an official handover from company to company.
This brings me to think, will Marvel be included in all aspects of The Disney Company? Perhaps an Electra Ride at Disney World or The Incredible Hulk Live On Ice? Whatever the outcome, it can only be better for Marvel. There could be potential problems at Disney World as the stereotypical ‘Disney Princess’ fans rage war against the older sweaty comic book fans in their Daredevil merchandise.
No wonder the geeks are spooked, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
