Hecklerspray’s Monday Music Mango: Hole, Melissa Etheridge, Daddy Yankee

by Paul Gibson

Separating the sweet, juicy flesh from the stone and skin of this week’s major label releases. Life is just one big game of  Whac-A-Mole. We get born, and up through a hole in a great big plastic machine in some celestial games-room pops a little furry head. At some point later on – it could [...]

Britain’s Got Talent: Kieran Gaffney’s Mum And Dad & Other Nonsense

by Paul Gibson

Like bad Mexican food, Britain’s Got Talent returns, and brings with it much pain and…. diarrhoea? Okay, just the pain. It’s 2010, baby, and BGT is going to party like it’s 2009. Which means that the producers have set out determined to find someone who looks like a forest daemon, but sings like a woodland [...]

Conan O’Brien To George Lopez: TBS Is Mine Now, Biatch

by Paul Gibson

The entertainment world is reeling today, trying to absorb a shocking piece of news. No, Kate Gosselin is not pregnant with 14 sets of albino Siamese twins. Nope, Simon Cowell and Susan Boyle didn’t spend the weekend driving around LA on a meth-taking bender. And wrong again, because Frankie Boyle most certainly did not move [...]

Tiger Woods Not Responsible For Tiger Woods’s Penis

by Paul Gibson

It’s hard (titter), but put yourself in Tiger Woods’s position (titter) right now. You’ve cheated on your wife. You’ve lost a few million dollars in sponsorship. You’ve lost the next few years of your kids’ lives. You’re going to spend the rest of your own life surrounded by red-faced men in manmade fibres who’d very [...]

Hecklerspray’s Monday Music Mango: Jeff Beck, MGMT, Murs & 9th Wonder

by Paul Gibson

Separating the sweet, juicy flesh from the stone and skin of this week’s major label releases. They say you should never meet your heroes; that they will always leave you underwhelmed and disappointed. And it’s true: we once ran into Frankie Boyle in a chip shop in Leicester. We made numerous attempts to goad him [...]

Hecklerspray’s Monday Music Mango: Bonobo, God Of War 3, Wu Massacre, Memphis The Musical, Lady GaGa

by Paul Gibson

Separating the sweet, juicy flesh from the stone and skin of this week’s major label releases. Things are a little different this week. For some reason, there are quite a few good albums being released in the next few days, so instead of the usual three reviews, we’re going to have… well, we’re not sure [...]

Jeff Conaway Is Some Kind Of Celebrity Death Nostradamus

by Paul Gibson

The Canadian-born, Jewish-raised, childhood-actor, drug-addicted, never-married, reality-star drugwreck (thanks, Wikipedia) Corey Haim died last week. Which is terribly sad, obviously. But do you know what’s even more sad? Somebody knew it would happen and did nothing. What kind of heartless monster – who must have no human feelings and perhaps also a suspiciously shiny set [...]

Radvertising: Minute Maid’s “Bunny”

by Paul Gibson

There is a universally recognised scale for measuring the quality and effectiveness of TV commercials. Scientists have fixed points of reference for the best (1990s Tango) and worst (anything by Microsoft ever) ads. All else will fall between these, and after the jump we’ll show you one of the better ones out there at the [...]

Kate Gosselin: “My Hair Looks Turd”. Literally All Other Human Beings: “Duh”

by Paul Gibson

Kate Gosselin has the world at her feet, and a beautiful mane of hair on her head. No, hang on. We’ve just had a quick second look and it turns out she’s actually got rolls and rolls of flaccid mimsy at her feet, and Worzel Gummidge‘s least favourite wig on her head. Sorry for any [...]
