Muesli Musings 8

Got up late this morning and had muesli watching Jeremy Kyle. Lasted five minutes before I turned it off otherwise I would have thrown the muesli at the idiots on the TV.

Now I can’t decide what’s worse – Britain’s Got Talent or Jeremy Kyle. Both formats manipulate stupid people and the people that go on it get nothing out of the show except maybe a nervous breakdown at the end.

So I had a bit more muesli and thought maybe Jeremy Kyle is worse because the people that are watching it have time on their hands on a weekday. That time would be better used for work / doing something life improving. It’s fine to chill watching BGT at the weekend after a hard week at work but it feels wrong to sit there watching weirdos in the morning.

If I were ITV controller, I’d scrap Jeremy and replace it with something that teaches something – a show about books or art or film. 

Surely TV can be entertaining without making fun out of people?

Tip of the day – don’t watch Jeremy Kyle while eating.

Cabbies Comments – X Factor

I got another singing cab driver tonight…Well, this one wouldn’t actually sing but did have a good rant about how hard it was for band’s to get famous. I support that.

Then we talked X Factor and I realised he was speaking from personal experience. Normally taxi drivers give me advice, but as I was leaving the cab I told him to keep living the dream and NEVER EVER audition for a reality show again.

Britney Spears – the party hasn’t started (yet)

It was Britney Spears’s first night in London at the 02 but she’s been strangely well behaved. Straight back to the Mandarin Oriental hotel after her gig. 

She’s playing the good girl game so well I can’t even find much to write about. However, she’s in London for two weeks and  I have photographers watching and waiting until she PARTIES. And I’m gonna be there.

 Watch this space!!!

Lindsay Lohan is laughing…all the way to the bank

 

Kerr-ching!

 

Lilo is in London and that means one thing – nightclubs go crazy trying to get her in.

It’s not unusual for clubs to offer five figure sums to get celebs like Lindsay in. I remember covering her last trip to London for The Sunday Mirror when Dolce nightclub paid her in the region of £20,000 to ‘party’ there.

Except she is a recovering alcoholic so she refused alcohol and didn’t dance so I don’t call that a party.

Anyway, she’s just been to Crystal in the West End  - turned up, sat there and left. BORING!

What do the clubs get out of it? They’re surely not going to get that much extra business by advertising Lindsay Lohan as a special guest. Guys don’t care any more as she’s made it clear she’s a lesbian.

How much longer can she keep the grin on her face and afford to stay at five star hotels like London’s Claridges before doing a HALF-DECENT tv / film role?

Get back to the day job girl! And get a sandwich on the way – Lindsay’s legs looked way too matchstick like tonight.

She’s beginning to look like a human lollipop (massive head, skinny body) and you know what I think about lollipops….

Like Arctic Monkeys? You’ll love this band

I have a duty to tell you about a new Arctic Monkeys sounding band that is so cool, they rocked my world tonight. 

They’re called Coppers for Karma (not sure why) and I saw and heard them at the Raw live bands event that I compered. 

I couldn’t stop jiggling around to them. It’s like pop and rock mixed together.

Hear some of their top tunes at: www.coppersforkarma.com

Fabulous Fashion: leggins

 

Zebra Zoe

This is my outfit for the Raw bands night at Karaoke Box in Smithfield. It’s all about leggins.

I saw a girl wearing similar trousers last week and asked where she got them. They were exactly like mine and they were £60 from American Apparel.

But I found these at one of the market stalls on East London’s Brick Lane – £10. 

Brick Lane is the way forward. Fashion fixes for next to no money. If you like American Apparel but have no cash then go to Brick Lane!

(NOTE – I am aware about the bra malfunction. As I saved money on the leggins, I am getting to Agent Provocateur sharpish)

Just one more Karaoke Box pic – Mat Horne

Ok, I know I have blogged a lot about Karaoke Box and Mat Horne but this one is fashion related.

It seems like the band have agreed on their outfits in advance. It’s good to have a look / image so people remember you….

But  rolled up trousers is not very Rock Band is it? (Photo below)

And now that’s it about Mat unless he makes me laugh again (intentionally or unintentionally)

 

Roll-up, roll-up!

Remi Nicole was a karaoke box star

BBC Gavin and Stacey star Mat Horne – karaoke gossip

Some people think James Corden is the funniest out of the BBC’s Gavin and Stacey duo but I think Mat Horne is funnier – even when he doesn’t mean to be! (I can’t forget that story about how he tried to flog his dvd to a carriage of London Underground commuters).

 

Funny, no matter what

 

 

Last night, Mat was at the launch of  EA‘s new Rock Band XBox360 game at Karaoke Box in Smithfield in a private room with lots of his mates. One of the parts of the night was getting out of the room and doing a song on the main stage against other ‘bands’. The best band would win an Xbox 360.

I laughed because Mat wasn’t that great (even though he thought he was) and because he called his band Black Pudding.

But the winners did have an advantage – Remi Nicole was in it and she is a professional singer and has sung with Amy Winehouse. FIX?

Shout out to Lily Allen

Lily Allen – do you like my website?

I got a message from lilyroseallen yesterday saying she’d seen my site and I was cool.

I wasn’t sure if she was being sarcastic or not, but being a pleasant person I try to see the best in people.

I tried to add Lily on my Blackberry Messenger but she hasn’t accepted me yet.

Let’s not start off as enemies. Add me and we can be friends, or at least cyber-friends?

Lily’s twitter is one of the most addictive out there. I think she’s quite cool.
