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.

8 babies in 5 minutes


(Image: Three of the staff responsible for the delivery of the Octuplets: media.charlotteobserver.com)

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!

Film to watch: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


(Trailer: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)

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.

'Food' Police coming near you?


(Image: Juicy Burger: www.dutchbottle.com)

Just when you think you've heard it all...

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?

How about I eat my dinner and sleep on it... SMH

Ross can't stop himself

(Image:Jonathan Ross: Telegraph)

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?

Do you think Ross' game is up? Comments please...
