I hear that Norman Lamb MP thinks he knows more than a thing or two about the Grime music scene...
Mr Lamb, the Lib Dems health spokesman is apparently somewhat involved in the rising career of Tinchy Stryder. The Grime artist is on Lamb's son record label- strange but true.
The kind MP has attended gigs and even invested £10,000 in the record company.
Lamb told the BBC: "It's [grime] been the central part of our lives for the last three years. We've lived grime."
Well, if that's the case, I dabble in a bit of grime, could I have £10,000 too.
Kelly has finally left her long time manager, Matthew Knowles,(Beyonce's father).
Matthew Knowles:
"After a very positive meeting between Kelly Rowland and myself, we have amicably agreed to end our professional relationship. My company, Music World, will continue to manage Destiny's Child as a group. As an artist Kelly has incredible talent and I only wish her the best. We will always be family first and foremost, and as a dad I only have love for Kelly."
Kelly Rowland says:
"Mathew Knowles has been a positive influence in my career. I have had great success under his guidance — both as a member of Destiny's Child and with my solo projects. Although we have decided to part ways professionally, the Knowles family and the entire Music World Entertainment team will always be my family."
Apparently, they have parted amicably and no bad exchanges have been made.
Sorry but this had to happen...No one is really buying Kelly Rowland records state side. She is staying UK like she can't go home to the US. See, I like Kelly but she needs some new producers, a new manager etc etc etc.

A woman in California gave birth to some children on Monday. Sounds normal right? But it weren't twins or even triplets. The unnamed mother gave birth to 8 healthy babies, 9 weeks early, and all within 5 minutes. Cor! That must have been the longest 5 minutes of her life innit?
This is only the second time in history that Octuplets have been born.
Can you believe that mother wants to breast feed all of the children as well. Shocking Stuff!
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, directed by David Fincher is a Go See...lessons are learned, harsh experiences are lived, love blossoms and deaths occur.
No, it's not all doom and gloom people. The film has one of the most surreal, and yet intimately romantic story lines I have seen in a long while, which is only a few reasons why it is a 'Go See' film.
Not to give it all away, but Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) is born old, and in turn, grows younger, which i might add, is very strange to watch. Button's biological mother died while giving birth to him, and his father dashed him away like a dirty tissue on a windy day...(OK! a little dramatic but when you see the film, you'll see what I mean - it is heart breaking.)
Anyway, Button's life proceeded to go backwards, while everyone's life around him is moving forwards. He tries to live a normal life with the love of a woman he saw as his mother , Queenie (Taraji P. Henson), and Daisy (Cate Blanchett) the girl who was soon to become the love of his life.
But for all of his problems, he certainly found time to have quite a few sexual endeavours.
What's really interesting is you get to witness the transition of Button looking wrinkly and dishevelled, to him gaining the look of the celebrity stunner, that we know as Brad Pitt. All the while, Button (with his initial old appearance) is socialising with a girl (who at the time) is young enough to be his great great great grand daughter, and yet mentally, they are more or less the same age.
Now, what's is unfortunate about the film is you feel like you want to know a bit more about Button's disease but forget it! You're left in suspense. I believe what's supposed to spring to mind as we are watching the film are a mans growth, the challenges he faces and his heartbreak, as oppose to "Err??? How the hell did he catch that?"
All in all, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a touching film with a funny undertone, which will offer enough oohs and arhhs to keep you well entertained.
Oh! Quick warning, the film is just shy of three hours, yes three, but well worth the watch.

Can you believe there is soon to be a government backed scheme which allows the council to recruit Food Poplice, or 'Food Champions' (as they're formally called)to knock on people's doors, and badger them about what they are eating, and the waste they create? It's part of a campaign called, 'Love Food, Hate Waste'.
A 'source' from the Department of Health has said: "The scheme is designed to get people thinking about how to eat better. By hitting people at home rather than supermarkets, we can get inside their lives..."
Err! inside what? I think not!!!!!! When I get home from work, I don't want anyone coming to my door, and asking me silly questions about what I'm eating. Do you?
Has it even been five minutes since Jonathan Ross' return to work, that his name has cropped up in yet another scandal? Although this time, his target (for want of a better phase)is an eldery woman by the age of 80, with Alzheimer's.
Ross returned to his radio show on Saturday night, only for Ross and his co -producer, Andy Davis to apparently make some lured sexual references about an 80 year old woman. Jokingly of course....
Jonathan Ross can be entertaining, but geez... if he wants to stay in his £6 million a year job, he is gonna have to take it down a notch, or is it me?
Kanye West don't miss a trick! He definitely keeps it moving in the fashion world.Check out Kanye in the middle of his new range of Louis Vuitton trainers. I think he is in love everything he does... I like it!!
Would you wear them or are they too much?

Now, I heard Mr Motivator has made a comeback to GMTV, but seriously people, he is still wearing the same garments. It's like he is in a time warp. Can't someone tell him to sort it out?
I was watching him this morning and admittedly, he does make me laugh and is very entertaining, but the technicolour outfits with the bumbag has got to enter retirement.
Kelly Brook, model and TV presenter, was shafted by Britain's Got Talent and appointed again. She got a little shabby job on the side. I'm mean really...
How can you be a panel judge for the main programme, get sacked, and then re-appointed from the spin - off show, of the show you got sacked from in the first place...
Michelle Obama is not only the First Lady of the United states of America, but is she is a fashionta - a show stopper. She is about to make people rich out here.
Wearing designer, Isabel Toledo's elegant yellow dress and long cardigan design to the inauguration ceremony, and Jason Vu's white chiffon one-shoulder gown to the Neighbourhood Inauguration ball, has potentially set up these designers up for life.
Come on people! You know what it's like...as soon as something is seen on a celebrity, everyone's want to know where to get it, and who designed it.
I feel it in my bones. Isabel Toledo and Jason Vu's are going to be big for 2009.
'YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN...'Today marks the day the world saw Barack Obama become the first African American President of the United States of America, and I for one am H.A.P.P.Y. It's a shame my pennies weren't taking me to Washington.
The US is my not home (as yet) but i will say this... when Obama talks, the world listens with endearment. His sincerity seems almost to good to be true, but you've got to love him for his delivery!
I am not especially political but Obama makes it so easy for citizens of the US, and people around the world to feel worthy of change - a good change. Obama has given so many people hope, a new lease of life and the need to want to do more and be more.
ok! ok! I'm going to get off my soap box... really i will. But before i do, the message of today is to realise that anything is possible, so we need to "PICK OURSELVES UP, AND DUST OFF OUR SHOULDERS...", as Obama said in his inaugration speech.
Quit the lazy talk. Let's keep it moving..2009 "YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN."
OK! NOW I'm done know...Obama's got me rambling like Kanye West...lol
