Trying Your Luck

Graeme Souness is now on the brink of being sacked by Newcastle United. And the shock name emerging as his likely successor is Aston Villa boss David O'Leary. The Geordies' paltry return of just one point from their opening two Premiership games has piled intense pressure on the Toon boss. Heard that William Hill cut the odds on Souness being the first Premiership manager to be sacked this season from 9-2 to 5-2 favourite.
United were booed off by angry fans after yesterday's goalless. LOL!!!! Can't even get a goal against ten-men West Ham. Wtf is this? Their next matches are away to Bolton and then...Ruud-y two shoes gang at St James Park. Big Sam would not want to lose their third game so I guess it will be draw in that. But Souness will meet the Devils themselves who looked quite impressive nowadays. So...after 4 games...2 pts.... and then he can start packing his bags. Don't even know why they picked him as the so called 'saviour' of the club. No Europe, only one available old man striker and the defence as open as Mariah's which is making John Beresford shaking his head every waking day for his old club that has lost the flair & guile seen in the days of Ginola, Asprilla, Rob Lee and Peter Beardsley. They would be lucky if they get a mid-table position this season. Just don't bring Glenn Roeder back into top-flight management. He's a good guy who has encountered enough problems during his West Ham days. Don't want to see him being rushed to the hospital again when Stevie and gang 'raped' the Toons defence by 4 or 5 goals in the first half...

The Cribs continue their musical blitzkrieg with the release of a new single on August 22nd entitled 'Martell'. Lifted from their recent album 'The New Fellas', the single epitomises the vastly underrated trio's knack of knocking out killer tunes. Arguably one of the highlights of the album, 'Martell' cements the band's position as one of the year's success stories. On their day one of the most incendiary live propositions you'll witness, forty five minutes maximum of explosive three minute outbursts... Brilliant. They have released me favourite song from their new album.

Kylie has made such a remarkable recovery from breast cancer, she will continue her postponed Showgirl tour next spring. The Spinning Around beauty was forced to cancel a series of live shows when she was diagnosed with the deadly disease in May this year - but is making a speedy recovery following two operations in Melbourne, Australia and intensive chemotherapy and radiation treatment in Paris, France.
Minogue is "over the moon" after doctors told her she will be healthy enough to return to the stage less than a year after being hit with her devastating diagnosis. An insider said "The team weren't given any indication of if or when the dates would be rescheduled and were just left hanging. So imagine their surprise and delight when they received a call last week to tell them it would be back on in the spring." Yessss!!!!! Ms Minogue will come into our world soon and everyone will 'disco down' to the na - na - naaa - na - na - na - na - naaaa - na - na - na....

Ashlee Simpson is excitedly preparing for her 21st birthday - because she'll no longer have to pretend to be her older sister Jessica whenever she wants to gamble.The singer, who celebrates her big day on 3rd Oct, is counting down the days until her birthday arrives, because she can't handle the embarrassment of getting caught out for using identification cards not belonging to her.
She says, "I go to Las Vegas a lot, sometimes with my family and stuff, and I'll try to do the coin machine. But somebody always taps me and says, 'Can I see your ID?'
"I used to use my sister's ID, which is really lame. They were like, 'Jessica Simpson... You're Jessica Simpson?'
While reaching the milestone will allow her to drink alcohol legally, Simpson is more thrilled by the idea of gambling. She notes, "People drink like in high school and stuff, but you can't gamble... I don't even know how to play poker. I don't even care about gambling. I just want somebody to tap me on my shoulder and say, 'Can I see your ID?'" Being 21 would make 'the world go round' for her; so she can then change her hairstyle and not being afraid of getting approval from her mum. But would she be able to 'la la' with more freedom then?

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt have unofficially ended their marriage, according to leaked legal papers.
Certain legal matters are still to be settled but the couple's marriage was terminated last Friday in Los Angeles. The "marital partnership" ends officially on 2nd Oct 2005, six months after Aniston served divorce. Time for a new lease of life. Go out and smell the roses, Jenn.

Ashton Kutcher got so scared of getting rapper 'The Game' punked that he blocked him inside a concreat moat. In the prank, The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, came out of a meeting with a producer to find six yards of concrete poured at the entrance to the parking lot where he'd left his car. As suspected, he lived up to his violent reputation by hurling a bench, chair and a broom onto the wet concrete, while the foreman refused to help him get out. The Game then said : "Thanks Aston, you got me, man - arsehole!". Good for him to get punked this way. Don't understand why he chose this sacred nickname as there is only one true Game and he is Hunter Hearst. The album sucks as well.

Gorillaz will embark on a never-done-before virtual tour of Habbo Hotels tomorrow. The teen website will host the animated group, in 12 countries beginning with Japan. Habbo Hotel users will be given the chance to get up close with the band 'in person' with fans being able to conduct a private interview with them. I don't know much about this Habbo stuff but it looks cool for Damon and gang to interact with fans through this method. Is there any chance that they will turn to 'draculas' on certain nights or an option for cowboy battles ala 'Clint Eastwood'?

Survivor Kaobehkaobu Episode Twelve
Last week on..Survivor. After Belinda was voted off, the two remaining women in the Mabokai tribe looked to be in danger of being the victims at the next two tribal councils should they not win the immunity. Andrea felt something needs to be done. She spoke to 50 and StevenT about what she would do if she was one of them.

Andrea : "Look. If you two think Fran and Liam are trustworthy, then you are being totally naive."
50 : "Nah, we ain't gonna fall for that, daawg."
Andrea : "Hey, I knew them better than the two of you. So if you guys are smart enough, you will know that they won't get rid of me."
StevenT : "Oh really?"
Andrea : "Well, don't say I never warn you."

The two guys then pondered over Andrea's comments. Meanwhile, Hillary seemed to be playing mind games with Fran, indicating that StevenT would never vote her off as he has promised her this since day one.
At the reward challenge, the survivors were randomly picked as pairs standing together on a spinning log platform over a mud pit, where the one left standing from shaking and spinning goes on to the next leg. The three winners from the 1st leg then competed in the same stunt with all of them participating at the same time. Andrea, StevenT and Liam were the final competitors; and after some intense moments, StevenT won the reward. He chose Andrea to join him to a Coffee Bar trip with cookies, pastries and some ice-cream being served. Andrea kept insisting that it would be better if he aligned with Hillary and herself. Back at camp, 50 asked Liam whether he is still down with the old 4 guys alliance and got a positive response. Hillary told everyone that Andrea may look nice and sweet but she can be bad-ass when she wants to. At the immunity challenge, the survivors competed in a word Puzzle where they have to collect all the intersecting letters from the words they have matched from the list to form one unique word.
Fran nearly got it right whereas 50 had a hard time completing the puzzle. In the end,
Jeff : "Liam wins immunity!"
StevenT thought hard on what is the next best move for him and spoke to Fran about it. He thinks that it would too easy to go with the flow, citing that probably they should change strategies. 50 told Hillary that anyone can be the next to go as he himself was unsure about the current situation. Andrea asked Liam what he planned to do next regarding the vote, and he responded that Hillary talks too much crap sometimes.
At the tribal council, Andrea got her wish as StevenT and Fran decided to cancel the original alliance; sending the strongest member, 50, packing.

Jeff : "50, the tribe has spoken."
50 : "This ain't good at all."

5 contestants left. Who will be next to go? *theme song*
