Grace Jones and Lady Gaga
Grace Jones Punishes Lady Gaga – I’m very pleased about this as I am finding Lady Gaga’s whole vibe somewhat tiresome. In a wonderful new report, Pop icon Grace Jones (62 next month!) has sparked a row with Lady Gaga after accusing the Poker Face singer of copying her legendary style. Jones claims to have snubbed the chance to collaborate with the chart-topping star because she lacks originality. Nailed! [nypost]
Cape Town Comes Sixth On AskMen.Com – Our favourite city, Cape Town, has come in at sixth place in a recent AskMen.com ranking of the world’s best cities to live in. Obviously Caprice was mentioned in the “night on the town’ section. Rocking the Daisies also cracked it, as well as Kirstenbosch and my six pack. Just kidding… about Kirstenbosch. [askmen]
Google Chrome Ditches https:// – When you see some text prefixed by “https://” you automatically know that what follows is a web address, as defined by the Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The question is — since most web addresses are easily recognizable anyway — do you really need it?The developers of Google Chrome don’t think you do, so they simply chose to hide it in a developer version of Chrome.

Australian Cookbook Suggests “Black People” As An Ingredient – An Australian publisher has had to pulp and reprint a cookbook after one recipe listed “salt and freshly ground black people” instead of black pepper. Penguin Group Australia had to reprint 7,000 copies of Pasta Bible last week. The reprint cost A$20,000 (R130,000), but stock in bookshops will not be recalled as it is “extremely hard” to do so, Penguin said. [bbc]
Gordon Brown Punishes Goldman Sachs – British Prime Minister Gordon Brown attacked the “moral bankruptcy” of Goldman Sachs after the US Securities and Exchange Commission accused the world’s most famous bank of fraud. During his election campaign, he demanded that the Financial Services Authority also probe the allegations. “The banks are still an issue. They are a risk to the economy,” the prime minister said.

Suri Cruise Turns Four! – Jerry McGuire and Joey Potter’s daughter, Suri Cruise, turned four on Sunday. It’s important that you know this. But I think it’s even more important to deliver this adorable little pic to all the laydezz out there who need some cute in their lives. “Oh my God! She has her mother’s mouth!!’ etc. etc. etc. Will your child be as cute? IS your child as cute? I doubt it. [tmz]
Underbelly Gangland Boss Beaten To Death – Those of you who are fortunate enough to have watched Underbelly, the TV show depicting the true story of Melbourne crime families and their phenomenal killing spree that went on for years, will be interested to note that Carl Williams has been killed. The real Carl Williams – not the actor. The one with the nickname “FatBoy” – that’s the one! [guardian]
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 – Joining the launch of the very popular Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Mercedes-Benz have unveiled the SLS AMG GT3. Designed to comply with FIA’s GT3 specifications, the SLS AMG GT3 is designed as a race car for “customers competing in sprints and long-distance races”. Besides carrying a heftier price-tag, the SLS AMG Black Series will get a reworked 6.2L V8 engine that will boost output from 563-hp to 600-hp. [luxuo]
Cristiano Ronaldo “Dating” Kim Kardashian – Kim Kardashian was spotted having a cozy meal with international soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo while she was in Madrid this week, setting the gossip wheels in motion. While Kim is jetting off to Australia for a few days and won’t have time to work on any new relationships just yet, her pal tells OK! things are developing with the superstar stud! Squeel! [ok!]
Barack Obama Plays Eight Times More Golf Than George W Bush – President Barack Obama has played golf 32 times since he took office, eight times more than his predecessor George W. Bush – who was mocked by the Left for his fondness for the game – did in his entire presidency. [telegraph]
Rise Of The Fembots – Fembot, a species of walking, talking Barbie dolls, concentrated mainly in Los Angeles and New York, that appears increasingly likely to take over the world. They are everywhere this spring: on the cover of Us Weekly, photographed by Mark Seliger in the pages of Vanity Fair, giving afternoon press conferences about their forthcoming lawsuits, plastic surgery dates, and feature films.

Lindsay Lohan Owes $600,000 In Credit Card Debt – Shit, not ideal… Lindsay Lohan has been hitting the party scene hard and hasn’t done much work since her last film Labor Pains, which went straight to DVD. Despite her lack of income, she hasn’t cut back on her spending and is now over half a million dollars in debt. [radar]
The Queer Reporter: Very Queer, Very Funny – I don’t know what it is about this guy, but he just gets me every time. “The almost daily obtuse utterances by some members of South Africa’s ruling political party and its auxiliaries provide a nearly limitless resource for comic satire. I’m sure we’ve all felt the urge to send a few container loads of Musa Cavendishii down to Luthuli house, this is an alternative.” [thequeerreporter]
