What are the chances of hearing a Chris Brown song on the radio anytime soon...or ever again for that matter especially now since a picture has been leaked showing Rihanna's facial injuries.

What a lowlife.

Good to see British singers and bands doing so well at the Grammy Awards at the weekend. Coldplay fully deserved their award for their excellent album Viva la Vida. Also, Adele and Duffy as they both have amazing voices. Must admit when I first saw Robert Plant I did think it was Mickey Rourke for a brief second.

I think most people would agree that Carol Thatcher was rather stupid in referring to a french tennis player as a 'golliwog frog'. Although, I did find it slightly odd that Jo Brand and Adrian Chiles felt 'very offended' by the comment, it's not as if the comment was directed at their colour. Were they offended on behalf of the french as well?

It was a private conversation and not something that was broadcast live, unlike comments made by Jonathan Ross and Jeremy Clarkson recently which many people found offensive. I think a little word in Carol's ear to tell her that such a term was not acceptable would have been sufficient instead of the BBC's reaction to sack her.

I can't understand what attracts women to Russell Brand. Every time I open a newspaper he's pictured with a new woman in tow. He could do with a good shave, a haircut and a bit of fattening up and then there's his 'interesting' fashion sense. I know a sense of humour in a man appeals to some women, but surely it only gets you so far.

Today has been labelled the most depressing day of the year. Despite delays on the train this morning my day didn't turn out too bad, plus it's only four more days till the weekend again.

Nice to see Kate Winslet winning two Golden Globe Awards, though it was particularly amusing during her speech when she momentarily forgot that the final nominee was Angelina Jolie. The camera then screened to Angelina who was sitting there with a fixed smile on her face. What a consummate professional. She was probably thinking to herself
'It's me you idiot! The actress that should've won'.

Watched Starter for 10 the other night. It's set in the mid 80s and it reminded me how bad the fashion was back then, but the soundtrack to the film is really good, so I might dig out The Smiths CD for a listen later.

Happy New Year all!

I sit near someone at work who has the tendency to slurp very loudly when drinking their tea. It was amusing for the first five minutes, but now it has become slightly annoying listening to this slurping 4-5 times a day and to top it off, they have now decided to start buying soup for lunch.

Fantastic.

Oh dear, how overhyped was Britney's performance on the X - Factor? She couldn't be bothered to sing live. She looked like she was just going through the motions and her heart wasn't in the performance at all. Crikey, I kind of feel sorry for her, she just looked so out of it compared to Miley Cyrus who was much better.

What's all this nonsense about Diana being original, she is trying to sound like Dolores O' Riordan from the Cranberries, but Dolores was a 1000 times better!

The film picks up directly where Casino Royale left off and it's relentless action from start to finish; from car chases to plane crashes to boat collisons. Daniel Craig is excellent as the ruthless Bond who is out for revenge after the death of Vespa Lynd.

Olga Kurylenko is credible as Camille. Gemma Arterton is ok as Fields, but it did seem rather odd her character wearing a trenchcoat in hot and humid Haiti. Anyway, a great film all the same.

Rating 8/10
