Common accessories for the wedding of a commoner

Thank you, Will and Kate. Thank you for a London day to remember.



With the city abuzz with joy for the happy couple, the array of Will & Kate memorabilia is getting more and more elaborate.

Meryl does Maggie

Queen of Hollywood MERYL STREEP (deserving of capitals) is set to play Britain's only female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in a biopic due out later this year.



The film is entitled The Iron Lady, the nickname Maggie was given for destroying Britain's welfare system and generally being a cold-heart bitch. Her evil is evidenced by a close friendship with US President Ronald Regan, the man responsible for today's dependency on the merry-go-round of stock markets. Can't wait to see how Meryl tackles this one...

Here are few of my favourite Meryl moments.

 


The Burkini

The week after France follows Belgium's lead in banning burkas from being worn in public, celebrity chef Nigella Lawson has donned an interesting look - the Burkini.


Emerging from the water at Sydney's Bondi Beach look something like a drowned hippo draped in a sheet, Nigella's controversial attire opens a whole can of worms. Nigella says she wore the Burkini due to its unfailable protection from the sun (reportedly it offers 50+ protection), so what is to happen if this a trend which takes off, will French and Belgian women be the only women left unprotected from the sun's intense UV? And more the question, wasn't the bloody boiling once she sat down on the beach to sunbathe?


A celebrity who donned the burka for more political reasons was M.I.A. What happens if M.I.A. chose to wear her burka whilst touring through Paris, would she get arrested due to being a security threat? Ever the attention whore when it comes to political controversy, I'm sure M.I.A. would salivate at the prospect.

Un-pop



Although she lacks any talent whatsoever, Rebecca Black is a 14-year-old Hollywood rich kid whose parents landed her a record contract. Her song Friday has become a phenomenon with 88 million hits on YouTube (1\4 mill likes to 1.7 mill dislikes), and some harsh criticism. Across the globe, Rebecca's foghorn song about ... what the word Friday means... has been deemed THE WORST SONG EVER.
