This Week: Heart Health, Anniversary & New Jeans

April 20, 2013 in Anecdotes, Comedy, Fashion, Food & Recipes, Health, Humour, Marriage, Nutrition, Stories, Style, Wedding

This week has been, and will continue to be, a busy one. After pulling on my jeans last Thursday morning only to discover they were ripped right in the crotch (stylish, no?) I began my search for the ‘right’ jeans. I had pretty specific ideas of what I wanted in this pair of jeans. They had to be tight, stretchy enough that I could move comfortably, long enough to scrunch a little at the ankle, dark blue in colour, super skinny and high waisted. Not a long list of requirements at all! It took 3 different shopping trips with the [...]

Sexism and Women on Radio

February 4, 2013 in Comedy, Entertainment, Gender, Music

In the last few days I’ve been listening to Mix 106.5 and was struck by the number of female radio hosts. On the face of it this shouldn’t be a surprise but given how many times I’ve heard women complain about the lack of female hosts, I didn’t expect it. What I also didn’t expect was being the only radio station with an all-female breakfast show would be a big selling point. Only it’s not an all-female breakfast show. It was on the second morning of listening to Sami Lukis & Yumi Stynes that I first noticed the man who [...]

This Week: Bowie, and Sharing Your Life Online

January 11, 2013 in Comedy, Film & TV, Music, Self, Stories, Uncategorized

Monique has decided to take a break from her Weekly Celebrity Gossip post due to work commitments, so JJ & T have decided to replace it with a weekly chat about life, the universe…and well, anything… JJ: So, T. We had this silly idea about publishing a weekly chat because we think our readers might find it interesting. T: And we need a new Friday post! JJ: This will either be amazing, or a complete train-wreck. T: Oh well, either way it might be fun. Like a podcast, in text. JJ: Yes… For me, this week was all about Bowie! [...]

Royal Pregnancy & Monique’s Celeb Top 5

December 7, 2012 in Celebrity, Comedy, Entertainment, Film & TV

Hello my lovely readers and welcome to another of my celebrity news wrap-ups. Obviously the biggest story of the week is the Royal pregnancy and while we all know about the prank phone call, I’ve only included the links to it as I think there were more pressing parts to the story. I will say it was poor form of the hosts, but as if they would have expected to get through so easily! I’m actually shocked at how little security there was surrounding one of the most high profile people in the UK. Anyway, lots of other things have [...]

Well guys, this year is coming to a close. It’s the last day of November which means there’s only a month left of 2012. Is this tripping you out as much as it is me?

Stay hydrated and be sun safe! Now onto what’s been happening in Hollywood and on our shores. It’s been a fairly controversial week in Hollywood, enjoy… 1. [...]

Diva-off & Monique’s Celeb Top 5

October 5, 2012 in Celebrity, Comedy, Entertainment, Film & TV, Music, News

Hi friends and welcome to another edition of Monique’s Celeb Top 5, I hope you all get as excited to read it as I do preparing it for you. It’s nice to have an excuse to be up-to-date on celebrity gossip, not that anything would stop me. It’s been a full on week with lots of weddings, pregnancy announcements and babies that I couldn’t possibly fit it all in, but I did include my favourite celebrity wedding of late as I absolutely adore the wedding photo. Now onto the funniest, and not at all surprising, news of what went down [...]

Video: The Oregon Duck has Gangnam Style

September 4, 2012 in Comedy, Entertainment, Music, Technology

By now you would be familiar with the sensation that is Gangnam Style. Well, it doesn’t take long for parodies of popular videos to emerge, but this one was particularly cute. Today I’d like to bring you the Oregon Duck does Gangnam Style. I’m particularly impressed they learnt all the dance moves – I have attempted to do this and it’s harder than it looks! In case you’ve been living under a rock, here is the original: Now try getting through the next few hours without singing it. T. Do you like Gangnam Style? Any other videos you want to [...]

6 Terrible Movies I Love

August 21, 2012 in Celebrity, Comedy, Entertainment, Film & TV, Music

Upon finding myself out of action with the plague (a cold) late last week I watched a few movies in bed. After finishing Bewitched I thought to myself ‘What an underrated movie this is’, thinking about the terrible reception it received, even though I thought it was quite fun and cute. Now, I’m not claiming to have the greatest taste in movies, but sometimes a movie that is critically panned can actually be quite fun and enjoyable to watch – not everything can be American Beauty. So here are my top 6 most underrated (terrible) films of all time, in no [...]

The Dogg, The Lion & Monique’s Celeb Top 5

August 3, 2012 in Celebrity, Comedy, Entertainment, Film & TV, Mental Health

Hello my wonderful readers and welcome to another highlights edition of my celebrity news for the week. Funnily enough, it’s been a bit of a slow week in Hollywood this week and I’m guessing it’s because all the celebs are just paying attention to the Olympics, but my Celeb Top 5 stops for nothing and no one. Surprisingly this week, I don’t  have any movie news for you, but I do have couple and baby news which I know you all love. Now, on to the artist who has decided to change things up a little… 1. Snoop Dogg is [...]

12 Dead In Cinema Shooting: I Don’t Understand Gun Violence

July 23, 2012 in Comedy, Current Affairs, Entertainment, Film & TV, News, People, Politics

I don’t understand gun violence. I really don’t. It’s something that has always fascinated me and something that I frequently have tried to understand the psychology behind, but I simply don’t. I have watched Michael Moore’s documentary Bowling For Columbine more times than I can count. In fact, I’m rewatching it as I write this. I know it presents a very biased opinion of gun violence within America but for the most part, I agree with Moore’s opinion; it is simply too easy to purchase guns and ammunition. When I came home on Friday night, I was told by my Dad [...]
