Beyonce's new song 'Single Ladies' undermines men (something I can't stand in her songs),but it's still a good song, with the Wahahhoooooo...hohohohohooooo... Wahahhooooooo section. On another note I can understand why Alexandra Burke's song 'Hallelujah' is good, but I still can't get over her constant 'victory speech' shananigans on X Factor.I will be downloading Beyonce's new song, but not

Well... Sky Sports News has confirmed that Nigel Clough is now manager of Derby County. I don't know anything about his contract, but quite frankly I'm not bothered about that, and that isn't the point of this post.This appointment will definitely spice up the encounter between Derby and Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup later this month, with Nigel Clough, of course, being the son of Brian Clough,

Believe it or not, but Shakira was broadcast onto Sky Sports News... No, don't fret... she hasn't taken up a sport, like, say Rugby (!), but she was seen watching a sport.That sport was tennis. She was spotted in the crowd at the Abu Dhabi World Tennis championships watching the match between World No 1 Rafael Nadal and Nikolay Davydenko. This has led some fellow bloggers to believe that a

Whilst watching Sky Sports News today I noticed that Real Madrid would be interested in signing 'out of favour' Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant, that's if they don't sign Antonio Valencia of Wigan.Why would a prestigious club like Madrid swoop for Pennant? Yes, he's a good player and I'd be glad to see him playing for Madrid... but this is the last player that I thought they would target, due

According to BBC News Steven Gerrard has been arrested after an assault at a hotel bar in the early hours of this morning.Wow!.. I never could imagine Gerrard doing such a thing. In his post match interviews, he seemed to be the innocent type, plus I've never really seen him get angry on the pitch. Well I guess football and his personal/outside life aren't intertwined.All this comes after he has

Yesterday saw Chris Hoy win BBC's Sports Personality. It was fully deserved because he had a remarkable Olympic games. Off the top of my head, he won the most gold medals for team GB.It is not just his success alone that makes him worthy. Even though he won, he still respected the achievements of both Lewis Hamilton and Rebecca Adlington who finished second and third respectively. The speech was

Proceedings yesterday saw Forest come close a number of times. Wes Morgan had two chances in the first half, one being a header which looped onto the top of the bar, the other a close range, 'smash' of a shot, which Rachubka, the Blackpool keeper, remarkably held. Forest, including the under par Joel Lynch made a series of mistakes. Joel Lynch was subbed off early on in the first half, to be

People have had their opinions on Alexandra's rise through X Factor this year... A person who I'm not going to name said that "She always makes victory speeches before she has actually won... like she's going to defiantly win..."After her performance tonight she starts crying and explains how she couldn't have done it without her mentor Cheryl Cole, plus other things that I have now

Shakira finally got some recognisable recognition that she deserved on the Top 50 Bootyshakers by Alesha Dixon. She was placed second in the list... behind Beyonce Crazy in Love... No real surprise. If it was my list Shakira would be number one for sure.Here's the video for Hips Don't Lie: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ygctbqBijFk

Kaiser Chiefs, for me, have hit the spot with their new single 'Never Miss A Beat'. It's difficult to describe, the song seems well worked, plus the track possesses the usual quality in the voice of the lead singer Ricky Wilson. It's typical Kaiser Chiefs. Here's the link to the video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wz40P1hFvWs

Leona Lewis and Boyzone. These were two acts, that as soon as they would come on radio or TV I would attempt to turn the channel over. With Leona releasing the catchy 'Hope you Forgive Me' and Boyzone bringing out 'Love You Anyway' that isn't the case anymore. Both Leona and Boyzone are a few of many artists or bands who, for me, have recorded one great song, only for the rest of their music to

What a bloody entertaining last few minutes! Don't get me wrong, the first half was dull... but Commons' first touch was rather comical. As soon as the booing started, he was probably startled and gave the ball away. This was the best action of a dire, but satisfactory first half for the Reds.The second half, however, was more of a spectacle. Forest took the lead after 54 minutes of the match

Turn the lights down, pump the volume up... and enjoy... or jump behind the sofa. What a film! When this came out quite a while back I thought, yeah, the usual action blockbuster, only focusing on big explosions. This epic (saying this, it only lasted around 1hr 10mins) did have explosions, but there was also much more to it... The 'handheld' cam element of the film worked really well. It made

After listening to Ruth Lorenzo speak after her performance on the X Factor tonight, I clarified something about her... She reminds me of Shakira. I've thought this for quite a while actually. She, of course, has relations with Shakira due to them both being Latin, in one form or another. Ruth is from Spain, whereas Shakira is from South America, Colombia. It isn't just these two

Well... what a remarkable match. With only two minutes left on the clock, Arsenal were cruising. To be honest, even I thought that there was no way back for Redknapp's Tottenham Hotspur.Jermaine Jenas' finely placed shot started the comeback. When this goal went in, I thought, well... could this happen. Even though I support Arsenal, due to their exquisite passing and flair they possess, I wanted

Laura White's performance on the X Factor tonight was absolutely electrifying. The other contestants who performed after her, must have been petrified. How could another act beat that? Louis Walsh said "...it was world class." Dannii Minogue said she "...would buy it tomorrow." Simon Cowell said "...it was incredible", by any standard he heard. Laura looks confident... she already looks like

Today witnessed an emergence of a 'teenage sensation', a 19 year old snooker player called Judd 'Terrific' Trump. When I saw this on the headlines for snooker on BBCi, I must admit it left me thinking about other things. On another note, the match was laughable in one sense. Trump had almost ten chances in the last two frames to win the match. O'Sullivan bizarrely missed easy chances (by his

The current announcer for World Snooker is such a character. He's such a character that he gets me shouting 'SHUT UP' at the screen. When he introduces the players, it's so reminiscent of a boxing match, it's unbelievable. Earlier tonight, Ryan Day actually flexed his neck from side to side before coming out onto the bay, as the announcer calls it. I think it's hilarious, the fact that if a

"If you see Morgan and Chambers in our starting eleven, tell Dexter to fill his boots." ... These are the views of Kevin Finnegan on Forest's chances against QPR tomorrow. I totally, 100 percent agree with this statement because both Chambers and Morgan have made far too many mistakes this season. I personally hope Forest can get a draw, plus it will be good to hear Anderson, Earnshaw, and

I read something in The Sun today, something that I've been thinking for a long time. Lewis Hamilton's driving is too aggressive. Robert Kubica, who is a good friend of Hamilton, called him a 'cocky track bully'. I totally agree with what Kubica is saying. When watching the race a couple of weeks ago he was far behind after being unlucky with a safety car incident. When Hamilton overtakes his

I've heard rumours, or seen rumours that Sam Allardyce is on the verge of becoming the manager of Nottingham Forest, that's if they sack Calderwood. I understand why Forest would go for this option. He had good success with Bolton, managing them to the top half of the Premier League and the Uefa Cup. He was also, at one point, considered for the England role. However, he didn't get the England

I switched over to TMF before the re-run of the F1 qualifying. I was startled by the fact that Shakira was on TV. I thought... wow... she's being admired for her 'hip' work! I then realised that she was in actual fact number 50 out of this countdown of 'ULTIMATE 50 21ST CENTURY NUMBER ONES'. I felt that this was just taking the piss. Now I know why I never see her in these countdowns...

After watching Eastenders one night, possibly on Tuesday, I decided to continue watching BBC1. Big Cat Live was on, a show where wildlife lovers watch lions/tigers/cheetahs etc. I expected to see them sleeping, but I was so mistaken. The show was action packed. The way the cheetahs pursued their prey was immense, and the lions were massive. This is the first real time I'd watched a wildlife

I had a dream on Sunday night/Monday morning... It was weird because I was in ICT, when I suddenly asked the teacher (not sure which one) if I could go to the toilet. They said yes. When I got out of the class I suddenly thought I want some chips, so I walked down to my local chippy, which is about a ten minute walk. Firstly I went to my house to get the money to pay for them. My mum gave me a

On Friday night I thought I'd watch Dangerous Liaisons... as you do. It is a film made in 1988, set in France, and starred the likes of John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer, Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves. I've been wanting to watch it for quite a while due to the fact that I have watched Cruel Intentions, which is a film based on Dangerous Liaisons. Cruel Intentions, to me, is arguably one of the

Nottingham Forest played Crystal Palace today. Forest have not had a good start to the season. Five points from their first nine games wasn't something I, or any other Forest fan, was hoping for. Despite this, today I honestly thought Forest would bounce back today. When walking to the stadium, like usual, there was no optimism from the Forest fans. There was no passionate fan singing tunes

It was a jam-packed night of Heroes! The action started at 7pm with a season preview. I started watching it at quarter past due to me watching 'In Bruges - Best Bits' on YouTube... I advise you watch the film.. it's amazing.. Anyway, I liked the way the Heroes season preview was shot. The interviews with the cast were very effective. I enjoyed the way they talked to you, 'breaking the fourth

I've just seen something hilarious on BBC3.. Apparently Beyonce and Shakira shaking their 'arses' in Beautiful Liar is annoying! There was one black guy (didn't get his name) who said that it is annoying because he can't get into the screen and actually touch them! I know how you feel mate! He also said that "they (Beyonce and Shakira) know they are doing it", teasing us. I understand where he's
