Wow, it's true that people often turn a blind eye to rapper's crude and offensive lyrics but theres no forgiving Eminem's latest controversial youtube clip. Pushing the boundaries more than ever in a completely unprovoked verbal attack on Lana Del Rey, Eminem rapped, "I may fight for gay rights, especially if they dyke is more of a knockout than Janay Rice/ Play nice? Bitch, I'll punch Lana Del Rey right in the face twice, like Ray Rice in broad daylight in the plain sight of the elevator surveillance." Eminem is of course referring to the video clip which emerged earlier this year, depicting Ray Rice and his fiancee entering a lift whilst having a heated argument. Once the doors close Rice punches his wife to be and knocks her out cold proceeding to drag her out the lift. Just watching it made my blood boil, what is it with these celebrities taking their anger out on their other halves. The most worrying factor is the influential impact it could have on fans, especially the younger demographic. This unfortunately isn't the first time the rapper has used his songs as a way of insulting women, he is quite the serial offender. In his 'The Real Slim Shady' single he attacks Christina Aguilera and in 'Bagpipes for Baghdad,' Mariah Carey's relationship with Nick Cannon. Lana herself has not spoken out about the lyrics but what a stab in the back, the singer has referred to Eminem as a 'genius' and in previous interviews praised his talents saying, "He really changed my life. I didn't know music could be intelligent." The 212 female rapper Azalea Banks was on hand to defend the 'Born to Die' singer, posting on twitter "Tell him to go back to his trailer park and eat his microwave hot pocket dinner and suck on his sisters tiddies." A promotional video released earlier this month also contained connotations to Eminem raping Iggy Azalea, whereby he says, "So what's it gone' be? Put that shit away, Iggy. You don't wanna blow that rape whistle on me. Scream! I love it. Before I get lost with getting off." However, unlike Del Rey the Australian rapper did respond to the violent lyrics. Iggy states "I'm bored of old men threatening young women as entertainment trend..." and fair play to the girl! Why should male rappers be able to disrespect women in order to make themselves money, where is the moral! Azalea also told of her brother being a fan of Eminem, not sure he will be after hearing him make reference to raping his older sister. Not only that but the fact he is merely 14 exemplifies the Missouri rapper's fan base, that young teens are exposed to this unnecessary language. The 24 year old rapper is up against Eminem and Drake at the AMA's tonight, what a kick in the balls if she were to beat the man himself! | |

It comes a day after Gemma Collins leaves but nothing could have prepared Craig for the loss of his brother. Understandably, after being told the devastating news this morning, the Corrie star made the decision to return to the UK so he could grieve the loss of his brother in privacy with his family members. He informed the camp by saying "I'm out of here guys." The camp was left feeling emotional at his unexpected departure and many shed a tear, including Nadia Forde and Melanie Sykes.
However, as two leave in the space of two consecutive days, two other camp mates join. Conservative MP Edwina Currie and recently voted off X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden make a surprise appearance. Edwina could stir trouble in the camp, after making hints to the Mirror's Mark Jeffries revealing, "I always welcome a debate. The only problems the others will have will be getting me to shut up. I’m Scouse. I’m a baby boomer. I’m a feisty lady. And I’m going in this to enjoy it as much as I can, which means there ain’t going to be silence.” This is in contrast with newly single Jake, who split with his ex just a month ago. It is clear to see already from an early stage that Mr Quickenden is quite the charmer and very interested in the ladies. A self confessed ladies man, he described himself as being "naturally a bit of flirt anyway. Sometimes I flirt and it's not even in that kind of way, it's my personality is quite forward I'm just quite touchy feely.” Sounds to me like he's already excusing his over friendly behaviour, but who could resist his toned muscley tattooed body anyway! Maybe we will see a romance blossom and the Katie Price & Peter Andre of 2014 will surface! Already members of the CIA, they are on an undercover mission set to be revealed in tomorrow nights episode! After just three days, Gemma Collins, known for her role in popular ITV2 reality series TOWIE, has departed the jungle. Unlike her previous Essex colleagues Mark Wright and Joey Essex, she just couldn't hack the lifestyle. Talk about starting as your mean to go on, Gemma could't even bring herself to make the helicopter journey into the camp, claiming to have a panic attack and choosing to be driven instead. You didn't have to be Mystic Meg to predict it wasn't going to be plain sailing for the celeb, even her co-star Lydia Bright predicted her leaving by day four, over estimating the 33 year old. Gemma seemed somewhat bipolar whilst down under, one moment feeling as if it were all too much whilst preparing to pack her bags , tears mixed with mascara running down her face, the next having an 'epiphany' and agreeing to soldier on. You have to give it to her though, after announcing "I feel like I have malaria" after her first night it must have been awfully traumatic, you also have to wonder if she has ever watched the show before, some contestants seem awfully naive. Collins did not partake in a single challenge but claimed by her departure that she had "found herself" and "wouldn't regret the decision" to leave. The Essex resident was the brunt of many jokes on social media, and many twitter users were enquiring as to whether she would receive her pay for such a poor effort and short duration in the jungle. It is alleged that after 72 hours in the jungle you are contractually able to leave and receive your full pay. This has led to speculation as to whether 'GC,' as she refers to herself, purposely planned her exit. However, where ITV are concerned, a spokesperson has announced "We're sorry to see Gemma go but respect her decision and wish her well." It seems as if there are no hard feelings, but as to where her short lived experience has left her in terms of a TV career, only time will tell.
Eagerly anticipated and speculated by many, the time has come where the ITV hit reality show 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here' announces their official line up for 2014 and prepares to air on 16th November 9pm. A mixture of oldies and youngsters are due to enter the jungle, rumours this year included Liam Gallagher, Michelle Keegan and Josie Cunningham (what a relief she didn't make the cut)! However those told to be partaking by ITV themselves are: |
