I hate Simon Cowell and all he stands for and adores. There, now that is out of the way, I can at least attempt to be objective.
The Prince of Darkness himself has now been given even more credit for abusing our eyes and ears with his talentless wannabes by BAFTA who plan to give him [...]

Lou Reed. Some people may know him, most of them of the older persuasion. Well, this old rocker has decided, along with his wife, that the best step he can make in his career right now is to perform a gig entirely for the benefit of dogs.
Yes, this guy is clearly insane. But not as [...]

The sun is shining, birds are singing and the wind is sighing through the trees. People are milling about, enjoying the pleasant weather and chit-chatting about something and nothing. If you haven’t already guessed, its a pretty slow news day.

If you decided you wanted to become a sailor-man, you’d plan ahead, right? Getting a boat is obviously the first thing you’d do, but stuff like nautical maps, a compass, navigation gear and so on is also important. Yes? Not for this guy.
See, the man bought a boat and on the very same day decided [...]
