I can not help but think that one of the biggest, and baddest, US rappers has become a lesbian. I know this might be a little un-pc and all that but after watching the new video for Kelly Rowlands lead single ‘Motivator’ (which is pretty good btw) the video links to lil’ Wayne seem to show him pretty buff, and pretty tough, but also slightly a little fem-butch.

Have a look and see what you think:

It appears that the Hollywood badboy, wife beating-drug popping-trash talking-show hating-underpaid star of Two and a Half men has been fired from his top rated show on NBC. This comes after he sassed his show and the producers and claimed he was underpaid and wanted $3 million per episode (he was only on $2 million). But the news just in now is that reformed badboy Rob Lowe might replace him on Two and a Half Men, just how this might work I don’t know …

It is clear that Sheen needs some help and advice and so from our vault we have found some advice that Sheen might like to hear!

Christina Aguilera -

I hit rock bottom when I was in a movie with Cher, I have no advice to offer…

Paris Hilton –

If you actually have to serve more than a week ,start having panic attacks and claim your chlosterphobic, that helped make my time easier. Oh and claim you’ve found Jesus! Become a Christian and tell everyone you’ve been saved. It’s the cool thing to do when you come out of prison and you’ll get a Larry king interview as soon as you get out. And don’t forget to have a fabulous outfit planned for when you go in and come out. It’s a perfect time to promote your legging line!

Nicole Richie –

I only served 82 mintues so I don’t actually have advice to give you. You can follow my example and made it a bad girl gone good situation. Ditch your mum as a manager, lose all the fake friends, settle down and have a baby and everyone will love you again. Then you’ll be living the simple life.

Robert Downey Jr. –

Suck it up and serve the time like a man. Use this sentence to plan how you are going to get back into Hollywood. Before you know it you’ll be in the next Iron man movie with me.

Boy George –

Keep claiming your innocent and it wasn’t your fault. Kiss up to everyone and anyone you can and before you know they’ll be letting you out for ‘good behaviour’.

Khloe Kardashian –

I only spent a few hours in jail so I cant really help with that but I think you accept the sentence, do the time and then come out with a reality show, marry a sportsman and open up a fashion store. Prison is the best thing that could happen to your career! Just use it to make you even more famous like I have.

It’s that time of year again where the whole of Britain it seems decides to attempt making the tricky savoury pancakes that form part of the great tradition of Pancake Day. So I thought we would jump on the bandwagon and share our best recipe for making delicious pancakes.

What You Need:

110g/4oz plain flour, sifted
2 eggs (Free-range)
200ml/7fl oz milk mixed with 75ml/3fl oz water
50g/2oz butter
+ Hungry Housemates

To Prepare:

Gently sift the flour into a mixing bowl with a sieve held high above the bowl so the flour gets a good airing. Then make a small dip in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it and begin mixing in the eggs – a fork will do – bringing in any loose flour from around the edge of the bowl.

Then gradually add small amounts of the milk and water mixture – keep mixing don’t worry too much about any lumps as they will go as you continue mixing. When all the liquid has been added bring in all the mixture from the sides and whisk one more time until the batter is smooth. Now melt the 50g/2oz of butter in a pan. Spoon 2 tbsp of it into the batter and whisk it in, then pour the rest into a bowl.

Make sure the pan is really hot then turn the heat down to medium and to make sure you have the pan at the right temperature do a test pancake. As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter. It should take only half a minute or so to cook; you can lift the edge with a palette knife to see if it’s tinged gold as it should be. Flip the pancake over with a pan slice or palette knife – the other side will need a few seconds only – then simply slide it out of the pan onto a plate.

Yum!

With the Easter and Summer holidays about to get many a family in the UK all a tizzy over what to do and where to spend their much earned breaks with their family the new Disney Resorts commercial on British TV might give some pause for thought. I say this not as someone with kids but as someone who has watched the commercial and saw something that was a little…where are the minorities?

The commercial shows several families, split over two commercials, who are told by their parents that they are going to Disney World. It’s cute and rather sweet but also very white. Are Disney telling us that they don’t really want ethnic groups at their resorts, surly not, but the commercial seems rather ill-advised. In this age of political correctness for one of the worlds biggest media companies to have missed the somewhat negative message that their new UK commercial is producing.

Is Disney racist? Well we know Uncle Walt had a thing against the Jews and it looks like old habits die hard hey Disney…
