I have to admit that when it comes to shedding unwanted excess flab, those that diet sensibly and exercise regularly will always win my vote over those that choose to cheat by whatever other methods are available.
So what gets my back up is not that Cherie Blair has managed to lose a sackful of weight or that she wants to maintain her weight loss with swimming.
But surely as normal people are feeling the effects of the credit crunch and financial chaos, Cherie and Tony Blair could have been more discreet when choosing to install a new state of the art exercise pool at their mansion this week.
Thirty thousand pounds may well be a bargain for the Blair’s latest toy, but for most of the country will be seen as an extravagance in the economic climate. Surely she could join a gym like the rest of us.
As us mere mortals battle our way through the credit crunch that was bought upon us by the greed of the already filthy rich speculators around the world, the last thing I want to see is that another ‘celebrity’ is being offered a 100% pay rise to continue appearing in the awful X Factor series.
Smarmy little Simon Cowell is said to be so intent on keeping Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole on the show that he is prepared to offer her a £1million pay rise to sign up for next years series.
According to figures in the Daily Mail, Cole is already ‘earning’ 40% more than desperate Dannii Minogue who gets a meagre £50,000 per week for the 12 shows. The increase in Coles salary is likely to cause more friction between the two female ’stars’.
Former panelist Sharon Osbourne fought for a £500,000 increase earlier in the year before quitting the show.
Sadly this cheap to run tv show pockets millions for it’s producers and presenters while producing more second rate ‘celebrities’ who will generally disappear almost as fast as they arrive.
Yet again another story in the newspapers today of the fallen hero Paul ‘Gazza’ Gascoigne, banging on the door of his local pub at 9am this morning.
The 41-year-old, was even trying to get into the pub using his own keys after getting no reply from inside. He eventually gave up and went to the off license instead.
He has only just arrive back in the UK after a month long holiday in Europe where last week it was reported that he had been hospitalised in Portugal for a suspected drink and drug overdose after being found slumped in a chair at the hotel.
His ex-wife and step-daughter arrived at the hotel to ask him to return to the UK and go back to rehab but he told them to f*** off and leave him to die.
He is beyond help it seems and it is very sad to see but what really annoys me is all the people making the comments about it being a disease. I don’t believe that for one minute, alcohol is a choice, Cancer is a disease.
I smoke and that is my choice, Gazza drinks and that is his choice!
Black rapper Kanye West and one of his bodyguards were arrested on Thursday 4th September at the Los Angeles International Airport. The arrest followed an incident that saw Kanye West and his heavy-handed road manger grab a camera from a member of the paparazzi and smash it on the floor.
LA Airport police arrested 31-year-old Kanye West and his road manager/bodyguard, Don Crowley, on suspicion of vandalism. Crowley also faces a possible charge of battery.
The incident happened just prior to the black American rap star Kanye West going through a security checkpoint at an airport terminal for American Airlines.
Kanye West’s publicist has declined to comment.
A video of the incident was captured by celebrity website TMZ.com, whose cameraman was involved. It has since been posted on YouTube.
The police have apparently interviewed bystanders who witnessed the assault and Kanye West and Don Crowley will be booked at a Los Angeles Police Department station in Culver City.
Kanye West appeared at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night, which was held at Paramount Studios lot in Hollywood.
He will also be performing live in the UK and Ireland in November. You can buy Kanye West tickets at Viagogo.
From what has been reported it seems like Kayne West and his bodyguard went completely over the top. It annoys me when celebrities act in this childish and aggressive manner. They make their millions by using papparazzi and the media, but then want to choose when someone can simply point a camera at them in a very harmless way. If the guy was seriously invading Kayne West’s privacy, then I could understand him losing his temper. But this sort of outburst should really be clamped down upon.
The six-time Grammy Award winning record producer and rapper, Kayne West has had temper tantrums in the past, including two well publicised MTV outbursts.
In 2006 he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards and unleashed an expletive-filed tirade after his video “Touch The Sky” failed to win an award.
And after not winning at the VMAs in 2007 despite several nominations, West shouted at reporters as he vowed never to return to an MTV awards ceremony.

I used to admire Jamie Oliver, but now he just another celebrity that thinks he is better than the rest. He recently slated the way the British lead their lives even though he was witnessed by thousands of people around the world living exactly the same way.
He talked about people not sitting around the table anymore but eating their meals off of their laps in front of an enormous TV. Now, hang-on a minute Mr Oliver, if they didn’t sit around their huge screens eating how would you have made the enormous amount of money you have made!
I couldn’t wait for his cookery programme to start, he was so down to earth, always had a few mates round to feed and always with alcohol on hand while he entertained his guests and viewers alike, but now all that seems to be beneath him.
He stated that the British just go to the pub every weekend to get drunk, despite his own parents running a pub. Not everyone is the same Jamie, you may be right about the British not creating inspiring family meals but maybe you should stick to your school dinners and leave the rest of us to eat the way we want to eat. How many of your books etc have been sold in the UK?
