Keri Hilson I Like



No surprise I like it a lot! This track is not on keri Hilson's In A Perfect World album, fingers crossed there is a new project on the way. That being said I am still playing In A Perfect World as it stands head and shoulders above some of the material that r'n'b singers are putting out of late.

Expect a night that is spectacular and epic, several rooms playing Dirty Pop Mash-Ups, Indie, House, Electro. R’n’b, DNB, Dubstep & Breaks.

Introducing Heartbeats by Lady Gaga



Think fashion forward noise cancelling headphones. Heartbeats are the latest headphone in the Beats by Dr. Dre range due to arrive in stores in November. Heartbeats designed by Lady GaGa will be available in all black, white with pink headphones and in all white. These would make an excellent Christmas gift and should cost between £50.00-£60.00.
 
Here lady gaga is at a press conference promoting her new headphones.

Here is another clip of Lady Gaga in Paris, she is so edgy and cooky. She is always spot on with music, style and performance. She is one of few artists to get the balance correct.

Is That A Gun Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?

An X ray machine which makes thermal images of passengers has been introduced at manchester airport as a pilot set up to help staff spot hidden weapons or explosives. The full body scanner at Manchester Airport can also identify breast enlargements, piercings, false limbs and genitals. Passengers have the choice of the traditional hand pat body search or the virtual strip search. The X Ray machine has been described as generating naked images and for this reason the images are deleted immediately and are only seen by a single member of staff in an isolated room. Manufacturers Rapiscan have said that the images are in no way pornographic and will make the check in more efficient as passengers will not have to remove shoes, belts or coats. The department of transport will decided after a year of trials whether to install these machines at British Airports.

Searching question: many suspicious items highlighted on a scanned image.

Here is another example of the x ray scanners accuracy courtesy of youtube:

There’s also a brand new racing car show called Slips that’s hosted by Huey Morgan which will see two aspiring racing drivers pimp their vehicles and then race each other, think legal drag race and true to the illegal drag race subculture rules the winner takes home both cars. X factor winner and chart topper Alexandra Burke will present as well as performing tracks from her new album.

3 out of 3 Failed Attempts At Buying Jay Z Tickets


I have managed to secure myself tickets for Beyonce, Kanye West et al however when attempting to buy Jay-Z tickets this is never a successful transaction. After failing to obtain tickets for the Roundhouse, more tickets for the Alexandra Palace, 4th November show were on sale. I was ready from 8.45am with credit card in hand, heart beat racing while I was simultaneously attempting to book online and talk to the ticket master agent. After completing the online search form there were no tickets, thinking I had been clever I waited on the phone operative to search for my tickets. Only for him to tell me that the one hundred VIP tickets that were being released this morning had sold out. What is a real fan supposed to do?

Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole's Dead Man Running






Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole are two footballers that earn £100,000 a week plus which have enabled them to finance and executive produce Dead Man Running which had its premier in Leicester Square Tonight. Dead Man Running is a gangster britflick set in the mean streets of London town and stars 50 Cent, Brenda Blethyn, Danny Dyer and Tamer Hassan. Although some have criticized the film suggesting that it glamorizes gun and knife crime, Ferdinand has helped provide members of his Live The Dream Foundation with work as runners on the film set, as well as using his celebrity status to give back to the local community. The film tells the story of Nick Kane and his 24 hour race to find £100,000 or else. Dead Man Running is released on the 30th October in selected cinemas.

Jay Sean Sings Live On Pepsi Smash


Young Money Cash Money Jay Sean did his thing! Excellent the Single down is available to buy off itunes now and has been number one on the Billboard hot 100 Singles Chart. It's refreshing to see an artist that can actually handle a track without the presence of the featured rapper although that being said Lil Wayne complements the track well.

Kanye West Short Film: We Were Once A Fairytale



Kanye West stars in a 11 minute short film titled We Were Once A Fairytale. The video, shot in Los Angeles in January and premiered at the city's film festival in June. The film is a high-profile collaboration with Jonze. Known for his idiosyncratic, quirky style, the director worked on Being John Malkovich. The film is centered around Kanye on a drunken night out. Mr West, who has received multiple awards and critical acclaim for his music offers an eye opening insight into how emotionally disconnected living the fast life can make you. Having watched the short film myself I think it is different and works well within the genre of Art. The short film is available watch here at I-likeitalot and on YouTube.

*The twitter feeds are incorrect Kanye West is not dead and has not been in a car accident since the one he rapped out in Through The Wire.
