Love Island – The love shack

What a change Love Island was tonight ! Very little Sophie Anderton, maybe the producers have realised that we do not want to spend all the episode watching her bitch and moan about Paul or how little she loves Farder Shane from Oireland !!! Great to see Eve and Emma going in tonight but the look on Denan’s face was priceless when he realised they had been listening to everything he had been saying about them – the fact that he called them fake, slappers and stop me if I get too close to them !!!! I think he has tickets on himself and will come a cropper before too long – I think he has a nasty streak and programmes like this do him no favours at all.

Brendan has been voted in to Shane’s (tis not the time, ti’s not da place) love shack, hired from him for a few days apparently !! and Emma and Eve will join him. Brendan has to choose who he wants out of the two (no unfortunately he can’t keep them both!). “Father” Shane seemed highly delighted that he wasn’t voted back into his love shack and genuinely pleased that Brendan had received the public vote. The fact is that nothing is going to happen when Shane goes into the love shack and the public have finally sussed out that a vote for Shane is a wasted vote.

One other comment I’d like to make, how much am I loving Jayne Middlemiss on Love Island Aftersun on ITV2? A lot !! She is hilarious !!! i never thought I’d like her after last year but she’s done good! I bet it would be a great night out getting to know the Middlemiss and I for one wouldn’t shun away any advances …

Mel Gibson Arrested DUI

Someone once said that you learn something new every day and today is no exception for me. I don’t know if I can be accused of being blinkered, out of touch or blind but I can honestly say I never knew anything about Mel Gibson’s problems with alcohol, the devil’s drink, the … you can go on! I don’t know how I could have missed this news but following his public arrest on Friday in Malibu it has now become apparent, the Oscar winning director and actor has a huge problem.

I know he had received a lot of criticism for his anti-semitic views especially following his film “The Passion of the Christ” and his alleged distorted view of the Bible etc etc. He has since released a statement on his drunken behaviour with many people especially showbiz reporters claiming he had received preferential treatment due to his fund-raising efforts for the police. Hollywood Split over Gibson’s future

The police did not charge him with driving under the influence because it’s the district attorney’s duty to decide if the arrest merits charges. After being taken into custody, Gibson posted $5,000 bond for his release, said sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore.

Will this have any affect on his future box office draw or will it increase his profile ? we all know he won’t be the last actor to resort to drinking but i for one do not condone any drinking and driving – I don’t care who you are. If you drink; you don’t drive, simple as that.

The statement reads as follows:-

After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed.

I drove a car when I should not have, and was stopped by the LA County …

Hades Factor Part 2 (of 4)

Mira at the airport
The second episode of four was transmitted tonight and I am still enjoying the mini series. I was shocked to see the death of someone close to home tonight, unexpected in a mini series only two episodes in. I’m not going to mention who does die and how just in case someone hasn’t watched it that wants to !

The standard remains slick and certainly doesn’t appear to be a low budget production. One user on IMDB has suggested the following and despite this comment I still believe the drama deserves the chance to grow, especially as I haven’t read Ludlum’s original work.

If Bob Ludlum was to see this mini series, he would have cried. This was complete waste of time and money. I have read the book and even though movies are not exactly what the book may be, CBS wasted time and money on this and it is embarrassing to claim that this was Ludlum’s work.

If you have missed this series or haven’t read the book then you can buy the Book here or a DVD Copy here

Mira Sorvino is great in her role as Rachel Russel, accused of killing two fellow agents and a handful more as she tries to learn the truth. the fact is she has been compromised and double crossed, she will be out for revenge and to clear her name I’m sure. Angelica Houston (never been a fan) plays the American President and is a growing trend in US television to cast women as the Commander in Chief!! Don’t know who I’d prefer in the role but I’m swaying towards Geena Davies!!!…

Leo is Evicted from Fiji

The time has come, in the great British tradition of knocking a man on the top of his game – Leo has been evicted from the Love island folowing last night’s surprise eviction. it came down to three people as usual, Kelle, Leo and Bianca. Kelle was given a reprieve and it was then down to the lovebirds .. Leo going claiming it was truly “Big Dog”!!Leo leaves Fiji !

Bianca was in shock most of the day sharing a cry with Kelle down on the beach after the arrival of the identical twins from Manchester nicknamed Trixie and Pixie. Leo wouldn’t be drawn on his future with Bianca, typical bloke then ! The one person still doing my head in is Sophie bloody Anderton, why does everything have to be about the bloody Anderton? Bianca was obviously upset but yet Sophie had to turn it around to “me, me, me” with Lee and Colleen both telling Bianca not to listen to her!

Anderton also tried to get her claws into the twins telling them to be careful and not to let on what they have heard. She also assumed that they would both want to share a bed with Anderton but there wasn’t enough room -Anderton said that she would share a bed with Chris but absolutely refused to share with Paul – I see the friendship is still going strong then ! It’s about time now that the British public vote out the worst celebrity to have ever graced love island in Fiji!

I for one can’t wait to see what Patrick Kielty makes of the new models, more on them later !!!! Hold him back missus !!!…
