Its Political Correctness gone mad!

Now I know that this person is not a celebrity...yet, but i got so annoyed when I read this I couldn't help but rant about it.

Source Simon Ledge

Pub singer Simon Ledger was arrested whilst doing a performance at the Driftwood beach bar in Sandown, Isle of Wight for singing 'Kung Fu Fighting' whilst a Chinese couple walked past. Simon regulary features the song during his act but on this occasion a Chinese couple walking past found the song 'racist' and contacted the police who later arrested him. Now Simon fears he could face a criminal record for singing a song that was number one in 1974. So does that mean the music industry was being racist at that point? Or was it that political correctness was not as important back then?

“We were performing Kung Fu Fighting, as we do during all our sets," Ledger told the Daily Mail.
“People of all races were loving it. Chinese people have never been offended by it before. But this lad walking past with his mum started swearing at us and making obscene hand gestures before taking a picture on his mobile phone.We hadn’t even seen them when we started the song. He must have phoned the police.”

Hampshire police confirmed that Simon had been arrested for racial harrassment but he has not been charged because there was not enough evidence. They have also said that anyone who feels that they are a victim of racial abuse has every right to report it, and they will treat it seriously and help protect the integrity of the victims.

Now I haven't seen the video that the lad took but unless Simon was pointing at him, making fun of him, its clear that it was not sung for anyone specific. Also if he was going to be arrested then shouldn't John Lennon of been as well when he sung 'Ebony and Ivory', there was no mention of Chinese people living in perfect harmony with the other two. Or even Carl Douglas who originally released the song!

Political correctness has gone mad and it has made common sense a thing of the past. I read a story about a woman who had her car vandalised and called the police for assistance, only to be told that an officer would not be sent out as it is a minor incident. When she wrote a letter to complain about the treatment she recieved. The local Chief of Police sent a letter to her stating. 'Whilst I have every sympathy with you being a victim of a crime...Many of those who have committed the crime are victims themselves. To my knowledge, some of our prolific offenders are heroine addicts who live in our worst house area.' How is that the lady's fault that they are addicts, she obeys the rules and pays for everything she has, so that is no excuse.

If political correctness continues down this road, then we will have to help burgulars take our TVs to their car just incase they trip over a rug and sue us for any injuries which are caused.

Good luck to Simon Ledge. Hopefully he won't recieve a criminal record and can continue to entertain the public for years to come.

Lily has made a Royal idiot out of herself!

Source Lily Allen

Well it looks like Lily Allen has kind of started to try and dig herself out of the hole she dug with her outburst about not being invited to the Royal wedding on Friday.

Lily wrote on her Twitter page 'Why does bloody Joss Stone get an invite and not moi? I sang at the Diana concert too!' referring to the Diana concert which the prince's organised, asking both Joss and Lily to perform at the event. This comment created a lot of attention for the singer, including a post from yours truely 'Lily Allen 'Outraged' by royal wedding snub' and i think she has realised, or has been told that this could be bad for Lily if the Royals become upset by the comments. She decided to backtrack on her comment Tweeting 'It was pretty obvious that I was being sarcastic about not being invited to the royal wedding, right?' Wrong!

Its quite funny how she has suddenly turned it around as just being a joke. Its like Tony Blair saying 'I was only joking when I said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq' or Nick Clegg saying 'I was only kidding when I said we would abolish tuition fees'.

In Lily's defence its a bit wierd that Joss Stone has been invited to the wedding as she has pretty much dropped off the radar for the past few years although a greatest hits album is said to be coming out soon, although I thought she only had like two hits. Going to be a short CD.

I hope Lily has learnt her lesson on thinking before she Tweets. Looking at her Twitter page, she seems to be very confrontational.

But it is ok because I think she is starting to control this royal cock-up... Her tweet yesturday sums it up perfectly. 'Oh my god, if I get one more tweet about not being invited to the royal wedding. IT WAS A JOKE you humourless fools, now run along.'

Glad she has kissed and made up with everyone.

Lily Allen 'Outraged' by royal wedding snub

Source Lily Allen

Singer Lily Allen has express her disappointment on Twitter after Joss Stone was invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding and not her. Both Joss and Lily were asked by Prince William and Harry to perform at the 'Concert for Diana' in memory of their mother in 2007, but only Joss was invited to the wedding.

'Well, you can quote me as 'outraged'. Why does bloody Joss Stone get an invite and not moi? I sang at the Diana concert too!' said the Smile singer.

Joss will be joining other celebrities such as Victoria and David Beckham, Guy Ritchie and Rowan Atkinson. Lily went on to joke that Joss stone will pull a 'Whitney Huston' and vomit everywhere after too much alcohol.

I can understand Lily's annoyance at not being invited. Part of me doesn't believe that they should invite everyone to the big day. A wedding should be for family and close friends, not for anyone who they might have met a couple of times just because they are high profile people. However, the other part of me thinks it is a brilliant idea for a big wedding as it will bring the country together during this tough time. I can also understand how difficult it is for the couple to put and list together, if you invite one person you feel like you have to another person so they don't feel left out. Its a right pain in the backside.

Lily needs to concentrate on her own wedding to builder Sam Cooper. She appears to be having problems with her own invitation, more specifically with Mark Ronson. The Daily Mail reported the Mark, who produced many of her early songs, did not recieve an invited to her big day. He Tweeted 'I don't think i have been invited to Lily's. Are the invitations out yet?' Lily Tweeted back 'You did get my invitation right? In the Daily Fail it says i've snubbed you from my wedding list.'

Whatever is going on Lily needs to get over the fact that she won't be at Westminster Abbey on the 29th of April. I haven't been invited but i am still going to be watching it. Maybe she could watch it with Paris Hilton, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown as they have also been snubbed by the royals, or they could be rebelious and tune into the Big Fat Gypsy Wedding! The choice is theirs.

Lee Ryan's fan club gives up!

Source Lee Ryan

The high-pitched annoyance who was part of the boy band 'Blue' Lee Ryan has had his self-esteem shot to hell, as the makers of his fan site has shut it down because 'We are no longer Lee Ryan's fans'.

When fans of Lee Ryan try and look at the site, they are greeted to a statement by the owners explaining why they have decided to close. 'We are extremely sorry to announce that we are forced to close Lee-Ryan.org...we are no longer Lee Ryan fans which is why running this website became pointless for us...We do not have time anymore to continue operating this fansite and searching for news and photo related to Lee Ryan' Those reasons I can understand this is because since the band split in 2004, Lee has not done much other than attempting to land a solo career between 2005 and 2006. Also during 2005 he was signed by Dolce and Gabbana to be the UK face of their new line of clothing. So because the site was created in 2005. For five years the owners have not had much to write for 5 years.

It seems to be bad timing for the singer as him and his fellow band mates have been given a lifeline to represent the UK in the Eurovision song contest with their single 'I Can' battling for the title against acts such as Jedward. Unfortunately for them, no matter how good the song is, they are unlikely to be crowned the champions of Europe due to the political impact on the show. Thankfully though, and I say thankfully sarcastically, Ducan James insists that the results of their Eurovision bid won't affect their comeback. "Should the worst happen, we're still going to press ahead with the album. It won't be the last of us - we're all fully committed to this band again."...Yay!

Source Blue

I wish the band luck, but I do believe that they need to make some realistic goals. For me, seeing them beat Jedward would be enough for me. It would be a more entertaining competition if the twins were pelted with potatoes during the performance. Though am I in no way condoning violence.

Kate Middleton goes shopping!

Source Kate Middleton

Future Queen of England Kate Middleton was spotted shopping for underwear at a lingerie store named Goldenpoint in London's King's Road last Tuesday "I certainly didn't expect her to be browsing at the bottom end of the range," a shopper told The Sun newspaper when she spotted Kate browsing through the 'Brazilian-style' lacy briefs sold at a discount price of £3.90.


Now this is only a small article but I don't understand why The Sun had to write this. Everyone goes shopping and its only Diva's or egotistical celebrities that will only pay top dollar for small items. I can pretty much garantee that the person who was stupid enough to write this, shops at Primark where most things are £3 so why can't Kate?! I personally I am a big fan of Kate and I know I am not alone.


After shopping for sunglasses, the shop assistant made time to tell the journalist. "Kate fell in love with the sunglasses but they were the last pair and had been sitting on the rack for ages. She said it didn't matter if people had worn them before, she liked them too much," It shows how down to earth the future princess of Wales is, and although we can never compare her to Diana, I feel she is going to be just as amazing!


What do you think of this article, do you think its right that Kate should be followed everywhere she goes just so we can read a story about her? Is she cheap to be buying discounted clothing when she is close to becoming a princess?



Good luck to William and Kate on their wedding day. I shall be watching with a nice pint of Cider cheering you on.

Michael McIntyre is already being judged at his judging

Source Michael McIntyre

Although i said i wasn't going to watch this years Britain's Got Talent at the end of last years competition. When i found out Michael McIntyre was going to be one of the judges because Simon Cowell is now too good for the UK, i just had to see how he got on; and he did not disappoint!

He was funny from the start, pretending to be Simon Cowell. His play on words and funny one liners kept me entertained while the auditionees failed to impress.

Ironically though he has been critised for upsetting a 9 year old boy who was coming on to do some comedy. David Knight from Birmingham was auditioning with a comedy routine and was asked by the judges who his favourite comedian was. Michael looked at the 9 year old waiting to hear his name, only to hear that Harry Hill was his first choice! Michael responded by reminding the boy 'i'm judging you!' and prompted him to hit his buzzer before David had even started his act!

Michael quickly said that he was joking once he realised that the wannabe comedian did not get it. Unfortunately for Michael, this did not stop David's eyes from filling up with tears. After being reassured that it was only a joke, David completed his act and recieved plenty of praise from all three judges, especially Mr McIntyre. The boy was given three yes' and he was sent on his way. But the audition has haunted the comedian since!

I don't understand why the papers are making such a big thing about it. The child went on to do comedy so you would think he would have a sense of humour! And although the newspapers have said that Michael has shattered the dreams of the 9 year old. We all know that he was just having a laugh, i mean, he is a comedian, its what they do!

David has recently hit back at the comedian by saying that Harry Hill is still his favourite and that the Hoff is his favourite judge! This just goes to show that David will struggle to make it as a comedian if TV Burp is his favourite programme.

Its a no from me!

Nicolas Cage Arrested for Domestic Violence

Source Nicolas Cage 'Face Off'

I was reading on the msn website that Nicolas Cage was arrested in New Orleans and detained on charges of domestic abuse battery.

The actor and his wife were in front of a home which a drunk Cage was insisting was the one they were renting. His wife disagreed and after a heated argument, Cage grabbed her arm and started hitting vehicles. When he tried to get into a taxi, a police officer saw that he was drunk and told him to get out of the taxi, which Cage did not appreciate and started shouting at the officer resulting in his arrest.

Along with domestic abuse, he was also charged with disturbing the peace and public drunkenness. He was later released on a $11,000 bond.

Cage has been going downhill since he has suffered with finacial troubles which is ironic considering he is one of the highest-paid stars in Hollywood.


Now i do not approve of abuse whatever the excuse, but i think the police need to concentrate on a bigger form of abuse. On a number of occasions Nicolas Cage has forced his wife to accompany him to a number of movie premiers of films which he stars in! That is torture in itself! I felt mentally violated after i sat through the film 'Knowing' and had to deal with a lot of anger towards the cinema for not warning me before i bought the ticket! And don't get me started on 'Ghost Rider'

Nicolas Cage needs to stop playing it safe with these terrible films and needs to start challenging himself.  I wish him well and hope that he is able to sort his finances out. I recommend that he consolidates his debts into one manageable monthly repayment. Just watch some UK daytime TV and he will have a number of companies that can help him.
