Well it was going to happen, we all knew it was going to happen but inevitability does not make Jade Goody's death any less shocking. It does seem strange that so much attention should be paid to someone who a few years ago was unknown but her impact on people has really shone through, I was sat up last night and actually gave it my first bit of thought since her death on sunday. It's hard to believe that she has gone. As an almost addicted buyer of celeb magazines, Jade has always been a regular feature be it for her troubled past coming back to haunt her or her ongoing drama's with men and now at the young, young age of 27 she has passed away. It is hard to get my feelings down but I guess the only way to say it is that it is oh so sad, at least her pain is over now.

Right onto ranting, now this might make me sound insensitive but twice in the last 2 weeks I have been on crammed london buses and been forced to move out of the way for a woman with a baby buggy the size of a frikkin range rover, don’t get me wrong I have nothing against mothers or babies but the fact that twice now I have had to move for a buggy without a frikkin baby in it!!!! is this just being used as an alternative shopping trolley or a larger than life zimmer frame? Either way it pisses me off and next time it happens I am going to sit in the fuckin thing.

My next rant is about a certain type of singing that is infecting the charts right now and is literally raping my ears on breakfast radio every morning, the guilty parties are Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne and dare I say it even Pink. It’s the "I cant be arsed to sing so I am just going to shout angrily whilst a guitar plays in the background" style, Kelly Clarkson's "My life would suck without you" is the worst of the lot. Now Kelly, I used to love "Since you've been gone" it resonated with me and also reminded me of my first night in Australia - good times, I know you have a beautiful voice and when it comes to ballads you sound lovely, so stop frikkin shouting, there frankly is no need and the world is an angry enough place already, seriously Kelly - give peace a chance.

Having been ill recently I have spent far too much time trawling the bermuda triangle of the internet aka youtube. I was sick of being sickand wanted to laugh so I thought what did I use to laugh at and one particular memory came back to me, The Big Breakfast with Johnny Vaughan and Denise Van Outen, it was quality brekkie viewing, riddled with sexual innuendo. So I started searching for clips and there are quite a few out there including the classic game show "Gaggin for it" which basically featured Johnny as a cheesy game show host and Denise as his extreme essex glam assistant, Denise was fab always really rude and dashing off at the end either to pick the kids up, do littlewoods catalogues knicker section modelling or simply off to the toilet. check it out on youtube, it kept me amused.

I logged onto Heat Magazine's website the other day and they had this picture of Jodie Marsh on there, all they kept going on about was her nasty wig, erm hello, can someone please notice her lips?? she looks like an extra from the 80's film "Dark Crystal", stop working on yourself Jodie! you can't polish a turd

Well the sun is shining and this week we have had some of the hottest days of the year so far, I thought to myself - how can I celebrate the turn of the weather, shall i rundown the street lauging and slapping people on the back in fits of joy? shall i go out and buy 101 summer hits - the album and blast it from my living room? No! I shall get a cold and end up in bed for 2 days sneezing and coughing shouting at passing school children to go and f*ck themselves. Yes that's exactly what I will do!

So my 2 days of hell have given me plenty of time to catch up on the celeb/gay world (what else is there?) - Very sad news about the sudden death of the actress Natasha Richardson. A reminder to us all to live each day to the full!

I have to say I have been keeping myself busy but not exactly in the most productive way, thanks to the joys of bbc iplayer I managed to catch up on all the episodes of "Mistresses" that I had missed, god that is a good series, it really is a homo's dream come true - 4 strong, fierce female leads with plenty of hotties to even up the balance. Next week is the last episode and I am drenched with anticipation.

It turns out after a few doubts over the last few months that my gaydar is on the rocks it turns out that the gaydar is very much intact. A few years ago I was sat watching MTV cribs with my friend Emma and they were going round wide mouthed country singer Leanne Rhimes house. She was showing viewers round her non descript pile of stone with her new husand Dean and I am slightly ashamed to admit this but I was just looking at her husband and screaming from my seat "Woah she gay honey!!, SHE GAY!!", and what has happened in the news this week? well Ms Rhimes (thats Leanne by the way, not a playful name for her husband) has allegedly been having an affair with hot actor Eddie Cibrian, one of her husband's family members called in a radio show and instead of denying the existence of the affair - the relative outed the husband as a lover of the penis!!! and now people are crawling out of the woodwork saying they have been getting on down on his woodwork! love it, SHE GAY!!!!

Talking of the gays, how adorable are Ellen Degeneres and Portia De Rossi, Ellen had Portia as a guest on her chat show this week, they are just too cute together!! I don't know what it is about celebrity lesbians but I always prefer them to celebrity gays, maybe it's jealousy or maybe it's just that the majority of celebrity gay men are just hideous.

Well I have now watched 2 episodes of the new BBC3 sketch show "Horne and Corden" and to be honest it is pretty shit, I have to say that the one bit that I totally love is probably the bit that has the gay community up in arms with rants of homophobia. It's Matt Horne as the camp gay news reporter! It really is an oscar worthy performance, if you have ever met a camp, northern gay out on the scene you will know exactly what I mean. I do like Horne and Corden but they are in serious danger of being over exposed, TV show, hosting the brits, awful new film - just go away for a whle and write the last series of "Gavin and Stacey".

Here's hoping I am better soon, Laters!!

Now I don't quite know what to do? Laugh or cry - On Saturday morning I was at home flicking through my usual list of websites and happened upon heat magazines website, the top story was that Kerry "I bet she eats with her mouth open" Katona was getting divorced from her dodgy as fuck husband Mark Croft, part oif me was sat at the laptop laughing whilst doing the "I told you so dance" but then I clicked on the video clip from her latest reality show where she is seen chatting on the phone about the impending divorce and breaks down in tears. She does cut a very sad figure and my heart did actually go out to her…..so the news today that they are apparently back together has just infuriated me, That girl needs some serious help but I guess as the saying goes "You can't help someone who won't help themself"

It has also been reported this morning that Jade Goody may only have hours to live, It reallyis one of those stories that has hit me hard, I just can't believe it is happening. I take back all the bad things I have said about her in the past, I think she has handled this so well, she has raised awareness of cervical cancer and been as dignified as possible whilst obviously raising as much money as she can for her 2 sons, I am just not looking forward to the news when it breaks.

Well this weekend was a bit weird really, I have had my friend Dan staying which has been lovely but also a weekend tinged with a bit of sadness as my friend Tony has left London to move to Finland, We went out on saturday night to bid a fond farewell with much lager and tequila, I stayed at Tony's on saturday to help him get to the airport yesterday, which was a slight challenge but we made it in plenty of time, tis sad to see him go but now I have a marvellous excuse to visit Finland at some point this summer.

It was Comic Relief on friday night and as I am still not watching TV I caught up with most of the action on saturday with iplayer, I have to admit that I wasn't that impressed. The hosting was fine and as usual I cried buckets at the heart wrenching reports from the UK and Africa but the actual comedy sketches were really dull, The Royle Family was the best of a bad bunch really. Little Britain just need to call it a day really, they are trying to be shocking but I have moved on and they should too.

The reports from Africa were very moving, It has to be said that even though she has that annoying gob wide open silent laugh, Davina McCall knows how to get you crying, The report she did that looked into deaths of mothers during childbirth in Africa was particularly upsetting, the rate of deaths of mothers due to complications during childbirth in the UK is 1 in 8200, in some parts of Africa the figure is 1 in 8! You can still donate money to comic relief here

Oh lord the blog really has been out on a backburner for a while now, basically I have been extremely busy at work and doing quite a bit of travelling around the country. So from now on I guess the blog will just be done when I can, I can't keep up with the daily nonsense that once was.

So anyway whats been occuring in the showbiz world, Jade Goody's story is still upsetting me but I am glad that she has managed to squeeze a fortune out of the joke that is OK! Magazine, I was in Tesco today and there are 3 different copies of the magazine out at once!

Also in the news Michael Jackson has announced a massive 45 concerts at the o2 Arena from July this year through to February next year. I remember seeing Michael Jackson on his Dangerous Tour years ago andf he was fantastic but I do have the feeling that he just doesn't have it in him anymore to deliver a fabulous performance and it's proibably going to be endless videos and smoke and mirrors, Think I will wait for the dvd.

Mother of 2 and role model Britney Spears made a boo boo on stage the other night, thinking her microphone was off she said to her dancers "My pussy is hanging out" - beautifully put Ms Spears, Let's hope for another slip like that when she hits the UK.

As for big gay news well it's all a bit miserable really, the government is planning to carry out a massive consultation on domestic violence but it will not cover abuse in same sex relationships, that's really helpful and forward thinking, thanks for that. That puts across a very clear message that gay relationships don't matter and that domestic violence does not happen in gay relationships. This whole fear of asking sexuality based questions in national research bugs the hell out of me, how can we provide good, appropriate services to lesbians and gay men if we don’t know who they are or where they are.

I love the animated sitcom "Family Guy" mainly because it totally pisses off right wing America with its explicit content, a parents group is up in arms at a recent episode which featured 11 men in a gay orgy, a baby eating horse semen instead of milk on his cereal and beastiality, after the episode the Parents Television Council said

Fox treated viewers to everything from an 11-way gay orgy to baby Stewie eating a bowl of cereal with horse sperm instead of milk.
"If that isn’t enough, the show’s leading character is also shown fanaticizing about his wife and moaning while a horse licks his bare behind. Clearly, the explicit content was not isolated to one instance in one segment of the show; it permeated the entire programme."
Speaking about a previous complaint from the group, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane told theadvocate.com: "That’s like getting hate mail from Hitler. They’re literally terrible human beings. I’ve read their newsletter, I’ve visited their website, and they’re just rotten to the core.
"For an organisation that prides itself on Christian values - I mean, I’m an atheist, so what do I know? - they spend their entire day hating people."
He also went onto say that the Parent Television Council could go and suck his dick - love it!!

That's all for today! Back whenever
