We should have our own 'Punked' show. Not the crap Gotcha type. That is too stale. Something that is more hardcore that can really make blood boil.

First to be punked is Tay Ping Hui. We should make him rap on stage at some gala dinner, knowing his rapping skills is as good as the relationship between Fergie and Wenger. Then let the crowd throw all sorts of vegetables and fruits at him to show the reception he deserve. Even though he might do alright, but still the plan need to be implemented. The announcer will then introduce a renowned rapper who then challenge him in a rapping contest but will suddenly ask to arm wrestle on stage. The rapper would then purposely lose the contest and tell the audience that PingHui bribed him to lose so that he won't make a fool out himself. The crowd would make the 'eerrr-booo--aiiiyoooh' sounds for cool effects. Just rub it in until he repeatedly plead innocence. By then the rapper will inform him that he has just been punked.

Second should be Sharon Au. Let her do some shopping at a particular fashion store. Then, let a teenage girl ask for her autograph and have a small chit-chat session. The girl would ask Sharon what kind of dress is good for her supposedly prom night. After some recommendations, the girl will thank her and do her own shopping. After a while, the teen would come out of the shop without paying for one item. And she said that Sharon told her it is alright to test-drive that particular item for one day as she knows the manager well. The store manager would query Sharon on whether she really said that to the teen. The 'parents' suddenly appear and ask Sharon not to do funny things with their daughter. Better still, a security guard comes to add spice to the occasion. All will keep blaming a shocked Sharon who by then may be going berserk. The teen will finally thank her for this experience because she has just been punked.

Lastly, the Haikel joker. Get some stranger to tell him he should be wearing the panties instead of the wife. That would be depressing enough.

Is it not right to do what the mind tells you what the knuckle-beat is against?

The people have noticed that the times are changing; But are they gonna do something now?

The Kaiser Chiefs have vowed to beat international best-sellers Coldplay to the UK's Mercury Music Prize.
These scots have garnered critical acclaim in their homeland and they wowed American music fans with their incendiary opening performance at the live8 concert - and they are hoping to round of their meteoric year by scooping the prestigious award on 6th Sept.. Bookmakers have made the Kaiser Chiefs favourites for the Mercury Music Prize and drummer Nick is so confident their album Employment will pip X+Y, he's placed a bet on the outcome. He says, "We're not used to being favourites. Everyone is an underdog to Coldplay - but we've got what it takes to have 'em. We're certainly not scared. We're in with a shout." I would rather 'na na na na naa' than 'fix him' for this year's Mercury award.

Franz were given a confidence boost for their forthcoming second album, after seeing a friend madly dancing to the disc. After initial doubts, Kapranos is confident their new album will be as critically acclaimed as their debut because they have worked hard not to lose their initial vision and concept. He says, "Before we started recording it, we talked about sticking to the original ideals that put us together. One of those was basing every song around a strong rhythm and dance sensibility, while not playing electronic dance music."
"We wanted to make the blood pound through your veins yet at the same time to push it a bit further. The whole time you're doing it, you're thinking, 'This feels really good, we're moving here, but what is it going to do to anybody else?' "Then a pal popped into the room and he was dancing around with complete abandonment. As soon as we saw that, everybody started grinning and it felt really good." With their words so leisured, who wouldn't want to throw 'darts of pleasure' support to these dance-indie boys?

David Ginola has been voted sexiest soccer stud ever. The ex-footballer, 38, who played for Newcastle and Spurs, was the winner in a Top 20 poll of 3,000 female fans. Two other Frenchmen made the Top Five, with Arsenal’s Thierry Henry second and ex-Man Utd legend Eric Cantona fourth. Italian stallion Francesco Totti was third. And keeper David James - recently dropped by England - proved he can at least catch the eye of women by coming fifth in the poll. Has to be the pity factor for David James.

TOP 20 SEXY SOCCER STUDS:
1 Ginola
2 Henry (????)
3 Totti
4 Cantona
5 David James (????)
6 Milan Baros
7 Freddie Ljungberg
8 Steven Gerrard
9 Jamie Redknapp
10 Gary Lineker
11 Alan Shearer
12 Paolo Maldini
13 Ray Wilkins (????*10)
14 Trevor Sinclair
15 Ryan Giggs
16 Dennis Bergkamp
17 Vinnie Jones
18 Frank Lampard
19 Michael Owen
20 Xabi Alonso

Something is wrong the poll. No.2, 5 and 13 looked very out of place. Maldini, Xabi and Jamie should be in the top 5. Geee-know-lah only has a great hair-do, thats all.

Autolux - Here Comes Everyone track
Autolux is one of the best kept secrets in rock music; has been around in Los Angeles for about 3 years, but are just starting to break out on the internacional scene on the strength of their amazing new album Future Perfect, which is heavy on atmosphere, emotion, and guitars.

The Long Blondes - Appropriation (By Any Other Name) video
............................ - Once And Never Again(live) track
This is a sweet-yet-jagged new wave pop music from a really rather special band from Sheffield.

Darker My Love - Helium Heels track
Darker My Love is a Los Angeles band. There are some of The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Velvet Underground, and a bit of The Stooges in their music. But don't get me wrong, these dudes got their own sound going on and it's loaded with shakers, tambourines, loud fuzzy guitars and droning vocals... all the necessary rock shite.

Kapranos was horrified when four of his former girlfriends were all in the audience of his Edinburgh, Scotland concert last night, and feared there'd be a catfight if they met. The Matinee hitmaker is still friends with his former lovers and was happy to meet them, but he was terrified of the jealous ladies bumping into each other. He says, "I still get on with them all really well - it wouldn't bother me if I spotted them as I was performing. "It's just the fact they don't really get on with each other. The thought of them meeting up worries me." Guitarist Nick quips, "We're going to have a special ring for them backstage." Kapranos is not the type where one would find him 'cheating on you', so don't think there would be any problem there.. This fire is not out of control.

Lindsay Lohan claims that she tried to end the infamous feud between her and Hilary Duff, but, she says, she got hung up on when she called. "I called her last week, and I was like, ‘Do you wanna hang out?’ And her sister hung up the phone on me!" Lohan told the press - "I don’t like having enemies ... and there’s the saying, keep your friends close but your enemies closer." To publicly quote Sun Tzu's On The Art of War when talking about reconciling a friendship is a bit queer. But 'a day in the life' of Lohan is always that.
