Katy Perry’s new video Dark Horse ‘portrays blasphemy’


It seems like Katy Perry’s caused a bit of an ‘uproar’ with her latest video. According to some critics and angry Muslims, it said to have strongly represented an ‘anesthetist view’ by including distressing scenes of religious symbols being destroyed. After the video was showed on TV it then eventually came viral and an upcoming ‘internet sensation’ with a few hours. Shazad Iqbal, Bradford was one of the first few people to spot these ‘flaws’ within the video and instantly came up with the idea to form a petition since one complaint wasn't be as effective for the Muslim community. Explaining his reasons for starting the petition, Mr Iqbal wrote: “At 01:15 into the video Dark Horse a man is shown being burned, whilst wearing a pendant (also burned) forming the word Allah”. More than 60,000 people have signed the petition, saying the clip is offensive, not to mention these comments are form all over US, AustraliaLebanon and Morocco.
Within her new video, it has the pop-star poses as an Egyptian queen who than transforms suitors into sand. Surely, this pop princess couldn't of meant to discriminate or disrespect a religion just for some quick time publicity? But then again she did kiss Miley Cyrus…hmm
What’s your verdict for the ‘not-so-lovable-at-the-moment’ Katy Perry? Guilty? or Not Guilty?

Rihanna post some pics of her birthday fun!



As part of her 26th birthday celebration, pop star Ri-Ri has decided to make it a cold one this year and travel to Aspen, Colorado along with her trustful production team and loving friends. The superstar also thought it would be nice enough to share some of her pictures of her and some friends, playing in the snow along with some saucy hot pics of Rihanna. This is what I love about this girl, she can own a chain of River Island stores and make the 'half-naked/ tomboy' look still look fashionable.








Look at her cake, cake,cake, cake (sorry couldn't help it). This songs just for you! Happy Birthday Rihanna! 



Here's more of her pictures on Instagram!

Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman welcomes their new baby boy!

Two proud parents Cowell and Silverman their new baby boy Eric. Proud father Cowell couldn't wait to show off his new son and posted pictures on twitter next to former girlfriend Lauren Silverman, who she gave birth to on Valentine's day. Aww how sweet! It was said that the X factor judge ran straight from the Britain's got Talent auditions held in West London's Hammersmith Apollo, and got the first flight to New York to see their baby be welcomed in the world.

Practically Everyone who was close to the couple was going twitter crazy after the baby Eric was born. The music and TV mogul took to Twitter to confirm the baby's name and time. It said: 'Very happy to say Eric was born at 17.45pm. Healthy and handsome. Lauren in great shape.Thanks for all of your kind messages'. he wrote on his twitter page. The name was a tribute to Simon Cowell's father Eric Cowell who died at the age of 81. Ex-X factor judge and friend of the couple Piers Morgan wrote: 'Lovely tribute to name his son after him'.

I think I'm not only one by saying that myself and thousands of viewers are happy to see Simon has finally found someone to settle down with and start a family together because let's face it, at the age of 54 and it's your first born, time wasn't on his side ha-ha. But I'm happy to the two. CONGRATS!

 The 'Britain's Got Talent Experience'!





This year for the first time, I was given tickets to be part of the audience for BGT and I'm not going to 'sugar-coat' one bit it but it was by far the best experience of a live TV show. I don't want to spoil this year's auditions but there;s nothing wrong with a 'sneak peak'. It was off the hook!They had amazing dancers, from a young boy break-dancing as a the tin-man from wizard of OZ; Singers that formed groups including an all-time favorite boy band with a different twist! and let's not forget the non-talented performers who are 'so bad we're actually good'. They're always there to lift our spirits and to make us believe that anyone could be a contestant on this show. We were entertained by the dynamic duo known as Ant and Dec! and got to meet the judges up close and personal which I found AMAZING! The Judges for this year's panel were: David Walliams, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and the devil himself Simon Cowell! Simon mentioned that he was happy to have them back on board for another prosperous year. This is the panel I have ever worked with' he said 'I really like these guys, they are very good'. Who knew Simon Cowell actually smiled! What I generally like about the show, is that it's an opportunity to see great performers and can to know them as person as well as a performer that no mater how old, small, fat you may be, you're able to achieve your dreams and if you're that passionate then you'll definitely go the extra mile.

Thanks for reading folks! I hope to WOW you with even more stories real soon!

Berlin’s Graffiti Street Art: How it all began?


Berlin is one of the most historical, moving cities ever known and is also referred to as ‘the mecca of the urban art world’. From every subway station, downtown alley and the occasional building site, there is some unique form of inspirational masterpieces left in the public’s eye. All over Germany, street art is seen more than just a brush stroke or a piece of stencil markings, it’s now a apart of their cultural society that’s highly embraced by many locals and upcoming artists, expressing their true beliefs, common interests and social past events. UNESCO, a specialized agency of the United Nations named Berlin as a ‘City of Design’. A few people doubted that the thriving street art scene was partly responsible. Local businesses and even local authorities hired artists to paint murals on the fronts of their buildings.

 But what started this generation of art work?

Looking back at the early 60’s when the Berlin wall was first built, it was located right in the heart of Berlin and created the division between West Berlin and East Germany from 1961 to 1989 and the symbolic boundary between democracy and Communism during the Cold War. The wall stretched for miles, on the top filled with barb wires and painted only in the basic colours of white and grey. However, some looked at this negative segment as a golden opportunity that led to a monument of vast inspiration. People on the Western side of the Berlin wall, known as ‘West Berliners’ had looked at this wall merely as a large, blank canvas needed to be painted. 

 What affect does it have on Germany today?




Since the downfall of the Berlin wall in 1989, Artists made a pact with East Germans and took to the streets of Mitte, Friedrichshain, Prenzlauer Berg where a whole a new level of creativity was born. Drawings of cartoon characters jumping with joy, other type of artwork bright and colourful collages of children and famous landmarks from other countries symbolising freedom. Even now, the Berlin wall has a major impact of the people today. It’s known to be one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world, with the Streets now flooded with graffiti and stencil art, it’s probably one of Germany’s most infectious hobbies. For decades, the Graffiti Art in Alexander Platz, Bernauer Straße and other well-known towns are extremely popular with the tourists and described as ‘never before seen in cities’ by the amount of art awaiting around each corners.

If you're interested in Graffiti Art, here's some artist from Berlin you might want to look at!

Amanda Knox soon to be known as 'Foxy KnoXXXy'




It's been announced that Amanda Knox, 26 has been offered a whopping 20,000 on a role starring in 'an adult film'.  Her name returned to the headlines after concluding the court’s decision over the 'Meredith Kercher case'. On Jan, Knox and ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollectio were convicted for the death of Student Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy. After being on appeal for two years, Knox may feel she has another calling, a sexy one at that. A California porn company wants to turn Amanda Knox into 'Foxy KnoXXXy'. Company founder Michael Kulich wrote: 'As you may have read, and were most likely well aware of, the general consensus is you are absolutely hot'. Now, don't get me wrong, she is an attractive lady but I wouldn't go as far to call her hot. And NO I'm not a hater that in itself is childish and takes up too much time, effort and energy.  But considering this woman has just cleared her name with allegedly committing murder why jump on the porn wagon. Maybe you that commotion of her being potentially the killer was a 'turn on' for some who knows.

But let me know what you think. Do you think it's too soon for her to star in movies? Or should she lay low for a while? You tell me! For more updates on stories follow me on twitter @Khadz22 




























HOT, steamy Gossip from Taylor Momsen




Taylor Momsen has been topping the headlines of today's newspaper of her deepest confessions regarding her sexuality issues. She spoke to the press openly admitting that she used to wear sleazy stripper shoes and corsets to help her evolve' even as a child! I loved how she justified it as to help her 'evolve' simply to hide the fact that this approach is definitely abnormal. I would think it was called being a brat; creating this publicity stunt and then having the decency to moan that half of the men population wants a piece of that A**. I think I like her more as an actress, especially in Gossip girl. Anyways, swiftly moving on, the pretty reckless singer stated that as a child, she has been experimenting with her sexuality by changing her image by dressing in a provocative manner, wearing only but corsets, make-up and heels. She said: I was a kid, and everyone found it quite shocking because I was so young'. Well, duh could you blame them? You should be playing with barbies not trying to be barbie's older/ sluttier sister.

The singer then caused yet another scene after recently releasing her latest album 'Going To Hell' which has a very vivid picture of the star naked with a large black cross painted on her back. But despite all the uproar and negative comments being thrown around, Momsen doesn't seem that bothered by it. She made a comment saying: 'I really don't give a s***-every-one's entitled to their opinion'. Here we go yet another duplicate of the much loved by the press, Miley Cyrus. The pretty reckless will be performing at the Download Festival in Donington Park, England in Leicestershire from June 13-15, alongside other big names such as: Aerosmith and Fall out boy.

Love is in the air! or is that just gas?



It's that time of year which we all love or hate. Like Marmite! which is definitely hate, along with half of the population. Where was I again? Oh right! Love is beautiful thing that comes in all different shapes in sizes, whether it's friends, family and all-time lovers. Valentine's Day reinforces that affection to show how much we care about one another. But is it just a little over-rated? with all the adverts constantly on repeat or is it that just straight up 'hater talk'? Having no one to spend it with, every year. Either way February 14th is just round the corner and it's not going anywhere. My take of the situation believe it or not is very neutral for a single person. It's just another day of the year in which I do find quite sweet, but not going to go crazy looking for a man just to live up the holiday's expectation. It's just stupid! Sorry fellas who are reading this, but I need to talk to the ladies for a minute. Have any of you single ladies out there been pressured by any of your home girls to find a man for Valentine's day? I know I have and it just drives me insane. Now, I'm not saying I'm cool living without no man around because hey! a girl got her needs and it's nice to share your life with someone. But call me old school when  say Ii would prefer the meaning of the word 'Love' to take nature's course.

And that's my personal rant over, I hope you all enjoy Valentine's day whether you've got somebody or not.
But for those single ladies out there let's just embrace our 'singledom' and shake our booties just like what Queen BEY taught us! You shake it girl!
