RIHANNA to mentor UK boy band JLS!!!!!!

According to YBF.com, RIHANNA will be passing on her knowledge of her mentor JAY-Z to former X-Factor contestants and well-loved UK boy band JLS!!!!!

WELL DONE BOYS!

Here is what RIHANNA had to say about the boys:

“Working with JLS is something that will happen this year. Jay will make stars out of them. He has been a great mentor to me…They can sing, they can dance, they look good, actually they look very good.

America has only had a little taste of them so far, but give it probably as little as 18 months and they could be the most famous band in the world. There is nothing Jay doesn’t know about the music business.”

Here is also some great news for all of you RIRI fans…. She may also be doing a collaboration with not only JLS, but megastar BEYONCE and KANYE WEST.

Definitely looking forward to that!

VIVIAN GREEN – “BEAUTIFUL” [Music Video]

VIVIAN GREEN has returned after signing a three-album deal with E1 MUSIC last year. She has also just released the first video to her single “BEAUTIFUL” from her new album. 

BEAUTIFUL” showcases the amazing voice of VIVIAN GREEN and her absolute beauty. Even though the video is set in lovely locations and VIVIAN looks great in her body fitting outfits, the video itself I found to be pretty boring after the first minute. I even re-watched it in case I missed something that had a “wow-factor”…. Maybe it is just me but I still cannot find it.

OK so call me crazy, but this is just a little too weird for me!

28-year old LEE JIN-GYU has fallen in love with his pillow from Japan so much that he married the ‘dakimakura’ (a large pillow -often with a popular ainime character printed on it)

Metro reported that their nuptials were “eagerly chronicled by the local media.

  ’He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere,’ said one friend. 

‘They go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him. Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal.

WORLD’s Shortest Man Dies

Chinese-born HE PIINGPING, the shortest man in the world, has died after heart complications on Saturday in Italy whilst he was filming a TV Show.

HE PINGPING was only 74cm (29 in) tall (or short) and became a record holder in 2008.

According to Metro, “He suffered a form of primordial dwarfism and was born in China’s northern region of Inner Mongolia in 1988.”
